@nprofile…lx0q @nprofile…ukea Fantastic work. I wish more people could see LLMs for the slop they are.

@nprofile…gqp6 his points are valid concerns, but also the whole paper comes off as Old Man Yells at Cloud to me. We can’t force society to care about security. The world rolled along before computers and the internet, and if we have to we can again.
Also if you think about it, 50 years is a discipline still in its infancy. There are many areas of reasonable debate on what the right path is, or even if the path for one should be the path for many or all. Till society has some consensus there we will always be the old men yelling at clouds.

@nprofile…skc4 @nprofile…r0kn I hear you. We crossed the Rubicon but that doesn’t mean all is lost. Mutual aid. Support the disenfranchised. Seek leaders that can resist this lawlessness and back them up.

@nprofile…skc4 @nprofile…r0kn I agree it is screwed up, but that’s the situation. Sadly half the country voted for this. Congress has no spine to question things the administration is doing, and the supreme court’s immunity decision gives him a blank check. We all have to live with that.

@nprofile…r0kn @nprofile…skc4 It is hard. Even when the principals in the C-suite or Board oppose the lawless administration, if they are publicly traded they have a fiduciary duty act in the interests of the shareholders and the federal government is the largest customer for many cybersecurity companies. As Jerry said, it’s a prisoner’s dilemma where unless we all stand united we will all hang separately.
