Anecdotal.

13 million swe roles with .01% is 130,000 compromised devices.

Process problem

I think that the numerical example you gave appears to be wrong unless you intended 1% rather than 0.01%.

In any case, fair enough. The concern is that organizations will build processes around AI where many people do not review outputs carefully. I do not disagree with this.

I also agree that my particular workflow is anecdotal and does not work at scale.

Yes my bad I even checked it in the calculator but then typed in .01 again but added % again. I meant to do it to serve as an example of how bad humans are at thing.... right...

Yes 1%
