It seems that the war on C/C++ is everywhere. "Rust" is the new kid and everyone want's you to use it.

From the post:

>The C programming language—powering everything from operating systems to aircraft control software—has long been a cornerstone of modern computing. But its flexibility comes at a cost: memory safety issues, like buffer overflows and dangling pointers, continue to plague high-assurance systems with critical vulnerabilities, and users must constantly update their systems to avoid becoming victims of attacks To tackle this systemic risk, a team of researchers from the University of Wisconsin–Madison; the University of California, Berkeley; the University of Edinburgh, and the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign has received a $5 million award from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) under its Translating All C to Rust (TRACTOR) program. The team’s goal is to create automated tools that can safely and verifiably convert legacy C codebases into the memory-safe Rust programming language without sacrificing performance or functionality.

Exactly. The problem is it’s all basically script kiddies. This is how the exploits happen, chinks infiltrate code sites like GitHub and poison the code, tiny changes here and there, benign to the dipahits that can’t code, then build trust on other good code, and then slip in rogue code that no one is capable of debugging.

Xz Utils <<<<——- you are here.

This is likely rh case with millions of exploits just sitting in unchecked code.

The researchers that find it are good, can code. But they can’t look at every git repository and look for rogue shit. Maybe ai could help do that…. Doubtful

A article I read last week (maybe it was 2 weeks ago) said that it only takes around ~230-250 articles to "corrupt" an AI. Think how easy it would be if you are a "insider" on the "training team" that likely includes a lot of cheap third world idiots?

True infiltrated corruption is likely small, because it’s like 98% retard mumble. But yes agree, real subversion and corruption or poising is happening. Likely the kikes will ramp this up for more back doors.
