AI-generated code is shipping to production without security review. The tools that generate the code don't audit it. The developers using the tools often lack the security knowledge to catch what the models miss. This is a growing blind spot in the software supply chain.

There's LLM apologists who actually believe that by reading code you're becoming a liability because you get in the way of "shipping faster." And there's a whole class of C levels and their sycophants who just eat that up.
