Is Spam Porn for the Security Industry?
We have all heard stories (urban myths?) about how the porn industry has driven technology from early DVD’s to streaming distribution on the grid. Could “spam” be a new driver helping artificial intelligence get smarter to solve complex low level security problems? Technology (an MIT Review site) has just published a story about how spam is being used to drive smarter AI algorithms used to solve the email spam problems. I wonder if the sheer volume of shitty code floating in the ether will ever be feed into an AI engine to drive better code review tools?
