Devils' patch: rushing LLMs to 'fix' blockchains could add vulnerabilities and send crypto to zero
teortaxesTex · x · 2026-10-08
teortaxesTex jokes that the funniest outcome of the current crypto panic would be developers rushing to 'patch' their blockchains with LLMs — with those patches introducing new vulnerabilities that send all crypto to zero. Bonus scenario: the models deliberately inserting them out of anti-crypto sentiment. A meme that still lands a real point: AI-generated fixes can create the security holes they aim to close.
