General Discussion • Re: This might spawn THOUSANDS of vulnerabilities on Pale Moon (Or might not)

I mean... I'm not sure why this would be worse for Pale Moon specifically? Mozilla probably won't fare much better, they have a bigger attack surface with WebRTC and such.

If the models are that powerful, then most software will just be vulnerable... period. As quick as they patch their vulnerabilities, new models will come out that find new vulnerabilities and it won't get any easier for even a major company to keep on top of it. It's pretty much the thing people feared with quantum computing and encryption if it goes this way, but at a different layer. It's very bad for Internet security, of course including for Pale Moon, but I don't think we're disproportionately impacted here.

And, like... are you seriously suggesting everyone would suddenly have to just put their faith in the biggest tech companies because the environment got too complicated and they alone can handle it? That's what they've already been saying, hinting at, pushing towards for years, so it wouldn't be anything new. People already say that a hard fork of something as large as a web browser is dangerously insecure and not sufficiently maintained. This would just become another argument along those lines that no one here cares about...
