Claude built me a simple react app AND rendered it in it's own UI - including using imports and stuff.

I am looking forward to this type of real time app creation being added into our OSs, browsers, phones and glasses.

That will be a whole new level of malware attack angle.

Can you expand on what you mean by this, and why?

The best vulnerability is one that is hard to detect because it looks like a bug. It's not inconceivable to train an LLM to silently slip vulnerabilities in generated code. Someone who does not have a whole lot of programming experience is unlikely to detect it.

tl;dr it takes running untrusted code to a new level.

WebAssembly sandboxes might become handy.

That guards against a small subset of vulnerabilities.

Since the original desire was to build any kind of personal/commercial app on an OS, the amount of potential vulnerabilities is potentially infinite.

This ultimately why I believe Microsoft and Apple will be the big winners. I suspect a lot of companies will want Microsoft and Apple to sign off on things and Microsoft and Apple are going to make sure they get their cut. We may need a new layer above existing operating systems in the future, to safeguard things.
