Because your personal projects likely are not very complex and not high stakes. And you are not responsible to anyone but yourself.

If you're working at a place where this is true about the the organization, then sure, that job will likely be gone. But that was never a good place for your career regardless.

I have 4 concurrent personal projects that are quite complex, but low stakes. I can have SOTA models go wild on them (because low stakes), but they can't one shot anything there. And I can't really work on more than one at a time, even if AI is doing coding - it still requires supervision.

I also frequently nuke these projects and start over because they made a mess there, but I collected necessary knowledge on how to guide them better. You can't do this on a production project, not when there are deadlines and stakeholders.

But just in case some organizations decide to embrace the "trust it blindly" model anyway - cybersecurity specialization will ensure you always have a job.
