Or maybe a fraudulent signal app.

I mean, generally speaking, just don't click on random links. This is a random link. Qr codes are valuable but we're conditioning society to just be cool with clicking on random shit without putting much thought into it.

Or xss/sqli/etc attacks on vulnerable sites that don't sanitize url query parameters

Great suggestions here, but no mention of SuperfastMatt. Speaks to the engineer in me by collecting projects and overcomplicating them all.

So the fintech companies who rely on that tested (though unliked) lump of iron from IBM running an OS, language, and architecture built to do fast, high-throughput transactional work should trust AI to turn it into Java code to run on hardware and infrastructure of their own choosing without having architected the whole migration from the ground up?

Don't get me wrong, I want to see the world move away from cobol and ancient big blue hardware, but there are safer ways to do this and the investment cost would likely be worth it.

Can you tell I work in fintech?

Back when emojis were novel in the corporate environment, I always questioned who at IBM decided a sheep emoji was a valuable addition. I mean, I used it in messages, but probably not in the way IBM intended....
