alt Hacker NewsAI will exponentially increase the number of cyberattacks. The likely outcome is
1. Legacy firmware will be a bloodbath, leading to a consolidation of firms
2. All digital infrastructure will have an always on AI "shield" of agents that monitor and defend against attacks
3. The attacks that survive will depend on human points of failure, leading to less control for humans being the default

Just updated my openwrt firmware yesterday. I was a minor point release behind but I'm no longer risking it.

very doubtful it will be exponential, considering that blue teams can use it too, and backend engineers are using it for security too.

Why do we always talk about ai capabilities in the future tense?
What's stopping them from doing these right now? Script kiddies have basically reverse engineered the PS5 at that point, do you think state actors need better models?
