Three years ago, early generative AI integrations in security operations platforms primarily took the form of chat interfaces within their tooling ecosystem. These interfaces enabled natural language queries, incident summarization and the potential automation of routine investigative tasks. Vendors framed early use cases around the ability to uplevel junior or Tier 1 analysts in security operations centers (SOC). Several years into broader GenAI and agentic integrations, that upskilling narrative appears displaced. Security leaders now report that the primary beneficiaries of AI-assisted workflows are senior analysts rather than junior staff. About 72% of respondents to this study note that senior professionals, who recognize hallucinations in output and can course-correct in prompts, benefit most from leveraging AI integrations. Only 28% believe junior employees derive the primary benefit, generating output with AI they wouldnโ€™t otherwise be able to produce. The implications of this are profound in security and beyond. AI may compress the labor hierarchy by automating tasks that were once performed by trained future experts.

Human intervention in AI technology continues to be necessary for optimal results. The results from our Organizational Behavior 2025 survey are not entirely unexpected: If humans will remain โ€œin the loopโ€ to check the results of AI, it will be seasoned experts, humans who have built up tacit knowledge through thousands of repetitions of the work that AI now performs, who will most readily differentiate correct from incorrect results. Moreover, they can offer course correction and evaluate the results of multiple models to determine the best fit for any task. Research also suggests that giving AI models more sophisticated prompts improves the likelihood or receiving comprehensive and correct results.

AI is already affecting the entryโ€“level hiring market, raising several serious questions. If the lower rungs of career ladders are knocked out by AI taking over tasks that were formative learning opportunities for new employees, what will replace this knowledge-creation activity? Who will be the senior employees to provide the necessary human-in-the-loop functions if people do not have paths to gain that experience? Even major AI developers have begun examining this issue. Research released by Anthropic found that programmers who rely heavily on AI assistance perform significantly worse when later asked to explain or reason about the code produced. That suggests that as automation increases, engineers must retain the ability to detect errors and guide model output. This is a skill that will erode, or may never be built up in the first place, if uncritical over-reliance on AI output becomes the norm.

When I first watched War Games (1983) I thought "wow, so weird, not only they had terrible password management, but their test 'AI' system was directly linked to the prod".

Ha-ha. 

I feel like I want to put at the bottom of my email signature:

Remember that Paco sometimes makes mistakes. Be sure to double check the information he provides you.

That way, if I send something completely erroneous and harmful, it's no big deal.

Bro #dlss5 is amazing bro. Just look at OG pitfall before and after. Seriously bro. #nvidia #aiftmfw #bro
A large number of experiments have shown #crystals to be just as effective as homeopathy without running the risk of water borne diseases.

June 2023: a Google data center in France floods and they call it a โ€œwater intrusion eventโ€

March 2026: an Amazon data center in the Middle East is literally struck by a fucking ballistic missile in a hot war and they call it โ€œimpacted by objectsโ€

Sam Altman saying OpenAI had found a way to work on classified Defense operations without violating their principles sounds a lot like Lando Calrissian saying โ€œI just made a deal thatโ€™ll keep the Empire out of here forever.โ€

Them: Can you give it a rest with all the corny puns?

Me: Whatโ€™re you gonna do? Call the crops?
