Maybe the board and shareholders of big companies need to be held accountable financially instead of being able to hide behind legal constructs.
replyThat system has been invented already. It’s called civil law.
replyCompanies will only care if they have a reason to. People need to start caring about their privacy and security and be willing to change product if they have to. We can blame companies and insist they start caring, but this makes no difference to them, people complain for a while and then they move on and the earnings remain unchanged.
replyI think we’ll start seeing consulting agencies advertise how many vulnerabilities that can resolve per million token, and engineering teams feeling pressure to merge this generated code.
replyWe’ll also see more token heavy services like dependabot, sonar cube, etc that specialize in providing security related PR Reviews and codebase audits.
This is one of the spaces where a small team could build something that quickly pulls great ARR numbers.
The same vertical-specialist logic applies in legal tech. Law firms are drowning in contract review — NDA, MSAs, leases — and generic AI gives them vague answers with no accountability. The teams winning there aren't building 'AI for lawyers', they're building AI that cites every answer to a specific clause and pins professional liability to the output. That's a very different product than a chatbot.
replyWhat is needed there are custom harnesses that don’t let the LLM decide what to do when. Use their power of pattern matching on data, not on decision transcriptions.
replyDoes SonarCube use LLMs these days? It always seemed like a bloated, Goodhart's law inviting, waste of time, so hearing that doesn't surprise me at all.
replyPeople need to start voting in politicians who will meaningfully punish corporations who don't.
replyMore importantly people need to start voting out politicians who refuse to. It's easy to elect people because of things they promise, but its what they actually do that matters.
replySo not sure where you are from, but over here both main parties and almost all press and TV would viciously push back (and actually are trying to do it right now with another party).
replyThe reason for it is very simple: big companies bribe politicians and.... buy ads in media.
Nah. They care about profits only, the sooner the better, so everyone can cash out and move to their next “venture”
replyI don’t think ”caring about profits” applies to any company 2026?
replyThe problem is that they don't "need" to. There's no consequences for not caring, and no incentive to care.
replyWe need laws and a competent government to force these companies to care by levying significant fines or jail time for executives depending on severity. Not fines like 0.00002 cents per exposed customers, existential fines like 1% of annual revinue for each exposed customer. If you fuck up bad enough, your company burns to the ground and your CEO goes to jail type consequences.
This kind of response went out of fashion after Enron. Burning an entire company to the ground (in that case Arthur Andersen) and putting thousands out of work because of the misdeeds of a few - even if they were due to companywide culture problems - turned out to be disproportionate, wasteful, and cruel.
replythe answer to that is a functional social safety net for the innocent employees to land in, not allowing companies to violate the law with impunity.
replyFirst off, adults use capital letters. I know it’s hard but it’s a basic part of our language. I would respect you and your arguments more if you used them. Second, your idea is as naive as your writing is poor. The issue with AA was that accounting doesn’t provide a lot of bounce and recover space for people whose firms go belly up in the way that AA did. A social safety net has precisely zero to do with the loss of a lot of dreams.
replyIf you read more you’d know that (and you would use capitals).
You’re describing a system where taxpayers foot the bill for data breaches.
replyThat's exactly backwards. In the current regime, it's precisely the billions of people who are affected by data breaches (and who happen to be taxpayers!) who are footing the bill.
replyNot at all. Make the guilty corporation pay for all of it.
replyWe already are in a system where we foot most of the consequences.
replyThis. Severe harsh consequences are the best way to prevent crime.
replyIf we also make the penalty for every crime the death penalty we'll have no more crime. Very simple solution no one has thought of.
If the government wants me to take copyright and IP laws seriously, then they need to take my personal information seriously too.
replyThis is genuinely the stupidest thing I have read today. I get that anti-capitalism is cool now but this is fucking insane. You want to incarcerate someone for exposing email addresses on a public service? Absolute madness.
replyAnd on that day, Satan will be skating to work.
replyDid you really start an account to post this shit?
