This is a great illustration about the state of the art in "AI": People with access to inconceivable resources running massively expensive, dangerous code on anyone's data (sometimes even their own) with no regards for basic security or quality standards and practices.

The discipline of software engineering has never been great at establishing and following those kinds of practices but "AI" has thrown us back decades. And we'll suffer the drop in software quality and security for a long time.

Everyone loves not having to have a license to develop and release code but the argument for stronger controls on who gets to do surgery on the core infrastructures of our digital society is getting stronger by the day.
