Neither do most people I know

This was peak comedy a few decades ago. Then someone evented wasssaaapppp.

Just once but my parents grounded me and took away my gameboy

The guy down the street that doesn’t pick up after his dog was handing out signed investment guarantees into data center proposals for any kids who had them. What the hell, dude.

And his “go away” sign points up, leading unwelcomed guests to the upper floors

You dissin on the grippy socks and tiny beans crew, homie? Mess with the beans, get the means, ése

Maybe if he spent less on clothing and shoes and firewood he could afford more gruel.

That’s how I read it too. All because they hope it pays off for rich people… and maybe some of us poors. But probably not.

No no, that’s Joe Pantoliano

Many are, but it’s not enough. Yes ai is expected to be used to automate white hatting, and already is by the most reasonable and advanced orgs, but greed and stupidity do exist and always will. Many companies fired or minimized security staff because they wanted to minimize overhead or thought ai would make one security staff member able to do the job of five. Many servers and sites just sit there run by private individuals or small companies that don’t even have a cybersecurity team.

A huge issue is ai tools have done a very specific thing that makes it harder to shore up - it used to be tedious and boring to implement hacks once a vulnerability was discovered, so a vulnerability would sit unused for days, weeks, months. Ai now ca do all that tedious, boring work for you, and lowers the bar for who can. That drastically increases the number of attacks and the discovery and dissemination of zero day hacks. Ai won’t be omniscient, so it won’t prevent everything even when it can be always on and just as capable defensively.

Agreed

I know some of it is from the problem of cyber security issues, very real ones, that stem from ai models, both the llm kind and the more advanced multi modal coding variety that have made finding vulnerabilities and then incorporating attacks into home brewed or nation state brewed targeting much, much easier and faster. This has resulted in very real network problems, and isn’t expected to get easier to defend against because it’s not like you just update for ai facilitated hacks and you’re done, they are just going to increase in numbers until basically an entirely different method of protecting systems is employed.

This has made many people nervous and believe that it’s only a matter of time before financial systems, energy sector systems, water systems, basically all the critical infrastructure, are attacked and have to go offline until long term fixes are found.

There will be people saying ai is all an illusion and just next word predictive analytics that can’t even do basic math, but those days are over, it was true months ago, but the modern models are much, much more capable and llms aren’t what’s being used to do the hacking, llms are being used to find known vulnerabilities that were largely ignored or orgs have been too slow to patch, but that’s not the only method being used to find new vulnerabilities. It’s a problem, cybersecurity in the ai companies have said they’re probably 18 months away from developing models that are specifically for defensive cybersecurity, so even they can’t and aren’t profiting from this issue right now, so it’s not just hype.

That being said, I’ve always been a believer in having a few days at least of food, water, medical supplies, and power generation. I don’t believe more than that will be necessary because if it is, we’re all screwed and no amount of prepping will ensure safety and over stocking will just make you a target and put a target on your family and property. Just be smart and have the basics you would need for a really bad weather event. You should always have that.

Several times. It’s old powerful men trying to hold on to power by reciting tons of boring lineage and trying to pass off various kinds of hallucinations, lies, and misinterpretations as magic that a narcissist God performed to maintain the power among very flawed men.

That’s a lot of people, love to see it

It’s not hallucinogenic, it just gives you anxiety

The slowest car crash I’ve ever seen

With hookers and blackjack

So this is pro talarico, right?

People want change but they don’t want to change.

It’s actually the wealthy that would suffer if it goes tits up, and if things are actually changed to put the nation on a path to recovery. Think about Europe post ww2 and how fucked their infrastructure and economies were and what it took to rebuild within 3 generations to the point they were actually thriving comparatively. That took coming together and reinvesting in society, nations building. The wealthy don’t want to do that. But that’s what it would take to recover and restart the economy, because there is no flow to the bottom 98% anymore. The wealthy would have to willingly reboot it by going back to putting their fair share back into circulation and earmark it for rebuilding.
