You said that:

I am giving away a shitty 128GB SSD, which was used with LUKS 2 for most of it's lifetime.

This leads me to assume that it is not now? Is this the case? If it still has LUK2 on it, you can run cryptsetup-erase on the luks2 container. This won't wipe any unencrypted data, though.

One needs to be careful and avoid block level wipes wherever possible for SSD as this will wear it out quicker. Obviously, if you have sensitive data unencrypted, you may have to. Shred is your friend, here. It works on entire devices as well as individual files. The individual files option is preferable if you the sensitive data is at known locations.

A couple of important caveats:

Still, Johnson said face-to-face interaction can play an important role in helping coworkers build relationships, especially if they are just starting out in their careers.

"Remote works better after you know people," she said. "So there is still a benefit of having some face time."

So, it does rather beg the question, what should one do if someone is joining an existing team?

In that case they would be locking down their subsidiary even further to just one client. I guess it all comes down to the plausibility of their argument for making this investment, rather than, say increasing dividends or ploughing that money back into other investments for the business. I guess they were able to justify the OpenAI investment along these lines. If I could hazard a guess, it would be something along the lines of:

This is a new market. We need to get in at the ground floor.

I suspect, OpenAI presented itself as a turn key solution to get a foothold in this brave new world and maybe steal a march on Google.

Not so, if you look at their website, you'll see at numerous time through the decades they actually decreased the risk of Armageddon. I fear your sentiment of complacency is precisely the danger they're warning of. To pull a quote:

In an urban society, everything connects. Each person's needs are fed by the skills of many others. Our lives are woven together in a fabric. But the connections that make society strong also make it vulnerable.

Threads

It just takes one thread, whether it be food, water, environment, radiological or biological to snap, and down goes civilisation. As civilization becomes more complex, the threat surface also become exponentially larger.
