Your Developers Are Already Vibe Coding. The Question Is Whether Security Knows.

Last week, Britain's National Cyber Security Centre did something unusual for a government security agency. It told the industry to stop fighting vibe coding and start governing it.

The Industrial Stack: When AI Becomes Infrastructure Economics

AI is no longer "just models." It's becoming an industrial stack: capital + compute supply chains + product economics + enterprise integrators + regulation as geopolitics. If your AI strategy still treats models as standalone products, you're planning for 2023.
