AI is revealing to us that engineering teams that are strong at one very hard-to-get-right thing like cryptogrpahy often fail at something that is easy to get right. The focus is on the hard-but-competant area absorbs the team and the easy-but-crucial thing outisde the boundry is neglected. Before the best way to find exploits was to look for teams that had bit off a bit more than they could chew and made common security errors around something hard-to-get-right. Now clankers can just look at everything and are exposing crtical problems all the way up the difficulty scale.
