It requires continuous expansive improvements. It is like real world. Building a system robust to frauds works on the short term, but on the mid and long term is impossibile. That is why laws change, evolve, we have governments and so on. Because system reacts to your rules and algorithms, making them less effective.

And these continous expensive improvements are done daily, but it is a difficult job

It is not at the moment. Models are built on the assumption of stability, i.e. that what they are modelling doesn’t change over time, doesn’t evolve. This is clearly untrue, and cheating is a way the environment evolves. Only way to consider that, is to create a on-line continous learning algorithm. Currently this exists and is called reinforcement learning. Main issue is that methods to account for an evolving environment are still under active research. In the sense that methods to address this issue are not yet available.

It is an extremely difficult task tbf

They don’t remove bugs, but it is easier to solve them without having to wait for some random guy to answer on stack overflow.

I don’t know now (I haven’t asked a question in ages) but to get a good answer on stack overflow it used to take weeks sometimes

GitHub issues are usually more useful

People isn’t considering that documentation has greatly improved over time, languages and frameworks have become more abstract, user-friendly, modern code is mostly self explanatory, good documentation has become the priority of all open source projects, well documented open source languages and frameworks have become the norm.

Less people asking programming related questions can be explained by programming being an easier and less problematic experience nowadays, that is true.

Even more “we’ll decide if you are worthy to get my data”

I believe he is talking about secure boot
