Just another billion, bro, trust me. It's right around the corner, bro. Just another bil, no biggie. Let me cook, bro.

I think we need to keep a close eye and get prepared. Once it starts, it will be an Effing** onslaught.

Haven’t bots that crawl the webs looking for vulnerable sites been the problem for the last 20 years? When was Wordpress first released?

AI proponents always point out how great things will be with more AI, but they casually ignore that "the bad guys" will also have AI.

I'm not an AI proponent, far from it, but I dont think that's a great argument against AI. AI is a tool like any other, which can be used by "the good guys" or "the bad guys".
