As of today, let’s assume 99% of all code written on the internet is still human written and 1% is agentic. That means 99% of code is sloppy and error ridden. Humans make errors that agents don’t. As agentic code replaces human code, both the error rates and security incidences will GO DOWN. There will be new forms of attack vectors by swarms of agents but I would not shut down the internet because of that because companies will have sophisticated swarms of agents to protect them. If everyone uses commercially available open or closed source models, a stalemate is the most likely terminal outcome. That said, the immediate priority is obvious. We need to rewrite all the code in all the enterprises. Period. Non negotiable. So let’s get on with it, close the security holes and flip to a 100% agentic code universe which, still may not make useful or tasteful products, but at least won’t have the errors that humans leave behind as we work.
