High Entropy

Information, Not Chaos: Describing Complexity Without the Complication.

Entropy isn’t just about chaos, it’s about describing complexity. Some things take a lot of information to describe, some take less, but none of it has to be beyond reach or overly difficult.

At least, not on purpose.

If you are interested in AI, distributed computing, security, or any blend of them all, this is at least one place that hits those notes.

AI writes insecure code, right? We’ve certainly heard that, while AI can write code, it also tends to create vulnerabilities that are preventable, to create things that shouldn’t be put out in production. Honestly, a lot of that is true. But why? The tacit understanding is that AI writes insecure code because it doesn’t know how to do it securely.
