De Niro has it right. The American people can agree on some things after all.
Remember that the same people say the same thing about AI

This was definitely part of it.

I stepped away from a pretty good senior cybersec position a few months ago. Remains to be seen if this is permanent retirement, a sabbatical, or just some voluntary unemployment.

But I foresee a number of issues around "AI" adoption, both directly and indirectly in #infosec this coming year.

The supply chain stuff, and general quality problems from "good enough" code are going to explode attack surfaces.

and let me say this straight up:

Silicon Valley techbros have more class solidarity among them than their workers.

it is no coincidence that they unleashed the grift of #AI as unionization was gaining momentum among workers in the largest companies; especially Amazon, Apple and Google.

the main purpose of #AIslop is to kill any unionization efforts by tech workers.

now, more than ever, tech workers need to organize into guilds that’ll represent them beyond employment.

Mozilla exec 1: Damn. Not enough people fell for our AI bullshit. What do?

Mozilla exec 2: Give them a "free" VPN.

1: What will we do with all that data?

2: Remember that AI bullshit?

Both: evil laugh but awkward and cringe

Don’t tell me you’re surprised.

As was largely obvious, AI tooling isn't making the attackers much better, just faster. Like, significantly faster.
