I don’t think it’s about any specific prediction he has in mind. The 2027 bit is just him saying that PHP2Shell wasn’t bad enough to force real action, so the first actually disruptive AI-assisted outage is when people (and funding) suddenly care. TL;DR not a forecast, just the shape of the argument in this discussion: https://x.com/matthew_d_green/status/2113749868888076487original ↗

And that need happens exactly three hours after the first massive outage caused by AI hacking. That’s not PHP, and we haven’t seen it yet. I think we might see it in 2027. Be nice if people had a plan for when the government suddenly realizes they need to Do Something.
