I still hope that one of these days people in general will realize that executable signing and SecureBoot are specifically designed for controlling what a normal person can run, rather than for anything resembling real security. The premises of either of those "mitigations" make absolutely no sense for personal computers.

The current strategy of the AI hype machine is to exhaust people's reserves of attention by presenting a never-ending stream of hard-to-verify "positive" claims. It's Gish Gallop done on the Internet scale with a never-ending parade of both tech influencers and low-value accounts. The while strategy aims for saturation and demoralized acceptance.

It's no surprise that people readjust their reactions by expressing hostility and skepticism about anything AI-related without spending much time on analysis. In fact, it's an entirely rational reaction.

Complaining about this without acknowledging the larger context is disingenuous.
