Security practitioner Zack Korman shared his "most controversial cybersecurity opinion": LLMs will take over threat detection. His slide reads "Cybersecurity is about to get bitter lesson pilled," arguing that scaled LLM approaches will supersede hand-crafted rules and feature engineering in security. Reposter Hank Yeomans endorses the take; Korman says he floated it in a recent talk to gauge reactions.
