Responding to the idea of spending massive tokens fuzzing every enterprise codebase to be sure no script kiddie can break in, QuintinPope5 argues cybersecurity is unlikely to be a main AI compute sink.
He points instead to areas with large existing spend and scalable demand: ad optimization, marketing data analytics, and product-market fit research — a thesis he expands in a follow-up post arguing relative performance means no finite cap on compute spending.
