    Imagine:

    You are a programmer who is all-in on LLM code generation. You get so much written every day! Hundreds of thousand lines of code, and you barely lifted a finger. But... your LLMs are trained on the entirety of Github.

    How many repos on there are full of trojans and viruses? How do you know that your super-productive LLM isn't copying *those* instead of the canonical version of whatever frameworks it's building? How do you know there isn't a malicious actor out there spamming Github with throwaway projects that're chock full of their malware, hoping the next LLM training pass picks it up?

    Nah, it's fine. This is AI. It's smarter than you are. It's not three thousand autocorrects in a trenchcoat that dumbly repeat the most likely followup to their input.
