I’m assuming sarcasm here?

That link describes a hack of Medibank, which is a private company.

Big claim, care to back it up?

Musk and his peers complain that the system doesn’t work. That somehow they’ve been hard done by.

They’re the richest people in history. Did society not work spectacularly for them - why are they obsessed with burning it to the ground?

He’s talking about AI scanning tools collectively, not specifically Mythos.

If you read his own top comment on that LinkedIn post he clarifies:

“The simple reason is: the (AI powered) tools are this good now. And people use these tools against curl source code.They find lots of new problems no one detected before. And none of these new ones used Mythos. Focusing on Mythos is a distraction - there are plenty of good models, and people who can figure out how to get those models and tools to find things.”

Government isn’t perfect but I’d be interested to know what alternative you propose?

Is it? It would be incredible if the government didn’t have specific requirements for critical infrastructure.

Say you’re an energy company and an incident could mean that a big part of the country is without power, or you’re a large bank and you can’t process payroll for millions of workers. They’re ability to recover quickly and completely matters. Just recently in Australia an incident at Optus, a large phone company, prevented thousands of people from making emergency calls for several hours. Several people died including a child.

The people should require these providers behave responsibly. And the way the people do that is with a government.

Companies behave poorly all the time. Red tape isn’t always bad.

Bundler already does this.

If supply chain integrity is the issue specifically for Shopify, couldn’t they run their own private, internally facing gem repository and whitelist everything that goes there? It’s not a requirement to use the public rubygems.

Wild, abundant and loud

You might want to reread that page.

“1,000,000,000,000, i.e. one million million, or 1012 (ten to the twelfth power), as defined on the short scale. This is now the meaning in both American and British English.”
