It was just as you’d expect: This isn’t an AI problem! It’s the same human problem we’ve always had: misconfigurations, weak security, and avoidable mistakes. AI just punishes those errors faster and more effectively than traditional software ever could. Anyone who continues to rest will be severely punished.

Why would you be be on the side of AI, and completely ignore the fact of it being a massive drain on society and the environment? This isn’t a win, nor is it a reason to glaze AI.

Honestly I still feel it’s a false flag attack. Both these companies have a huge motive to basically say the AI security war is here, the only way to defend from AI attacks, is AI defense.
