Modern cars are basically rolling computers that send back significant telemetry, and that generally places them under privacy regulations. GM just settled and agreed to pay California $12.75 million after investigators found it was allegedly collecting and selling detailed driver data from OnStar users without proper consent.

AI is a tool, but you probably only need a small hammer not a sledgehammer to hang a picture. Whether you're paying for tokens, or waiting for your 40-60 token/s GPU in the lab to process, that's when you may have realized what some corporate budgets are coming to realize, token spend is expensive and I should probably have my model write more ActivePieces/cron/ n8n automations so we're not wasting the compute.

Earlier I posted about how AI can't logic, and math is an example. Well clearly I was proven right today when booking hotels, from Perplexity: €1,157.56 (about $1,338-$1,355 USD) is not cheaper than $1,256.27 contrary to what the #Tokens believe.

A very real problem is relying on LLMs to do logic. LLMs fundamentally can't do logic, they are great tools for use cases where the underlying tokenization lends itself, like translation and code generation, but models on their own without tools still struggle with logic tasks like math. In the next years I can see audits being more focused on human in the loop review, especially for regulated areas that already generally require it.

If your security, or privacy, relies on obscurity at any level, with the way LLMs are going and how rapidly Anthropic Mythos level tooling will be reached, your hope based strategy is about to be blown away. Hope is Not a Strategy.

It will make both digital and quasi-physical attacks like this MITM card reader attack even easier to do https://youtu.be/PPJ6NJkmDAo
