<p>> does that mean windows security is basically being bypassed?<p>Good question.  It's <i>probably</i> not, in that the installer and whatever it installs have probably been signed by something official that Windows trusts.<p>That's just my guessing though.<p>--<p>It'd also be interesting to see what happens with non-Windows based computers.  ie macOS and Linux users that plug an affected LG monitor in</p>

<p>> Reviewing AI-written code line-by-line isn't practical or a good use of anyone's time. And the usual answer to problems created by the use of AI is to use more AI, so you switch to AI reviews by default.<p>Ugh.  Sure, for non-critical stuff that might be acceptable, but for anyone working on core banking or infrastructure PLEASE don't be doing this.</p>

<p>> fellow software engineers who spend 8+ hours a day writing code see it as the opposite, since AI _is_ seen as doing the "good things"<p>Dunno about that.  I work in writing infrastructure code (telco space), and while we do use Claude Code (Optus 4.8/Fable 5/etc) there still needs to be extremely thorough review and a close watch kept on its output.<p>AI generated code that's not carefully managed is <i>not</i> suitable for really important things.  At least, not the stuff I've seen it generate so far both for my colleagues and myself.</p>
