We probably need security-focused AI models to audit all third party code before your system runs it. Dependency security is already a thorny problem; made worse if your agents run random code from github blindly.

Gemini and Grok are both better and cheaper. Don’t see any advantage to ChatGPT, and lots of downsides.

Always feel late to the party with cutting edge tech. Then I talk to non-tech people and realize I'm still way early. Need a good word for this.
