When was the last time you heard about a vibe coder with unfettered access to government systems getting hacked? Probably never, because the government used to try its best to ensure security policy was followed. But Trump and Elon come along, and all of a sudden, secure info is leaked everywhere.

I understand your desire to remain skeptical and demand evidence, I do, but I think you're just throwing your pearls before swine at the end of the day in doing so.
