Cyberattacks are part of the low level war they are also waging via dragging anchors to cut Internet cables, throwing drones and jets into NATO airspace, and ofc disinformation campaigns.

So yeah they are leveraging the cybercrime aspect to further weaken USA / NATO / The West / Tolerant Inclusive Democracy.

For complex code some tools like aider have an "architect mode" that tells the AI to break it into smaller steps, planning vs execution

Perplexity.ai for search. Always.

Maybe that is why your favorite abuser of underage girls and enabler of romance scammers is in jail for his financial crimes.

Runs on everything from VMS clusters to Alpine Linux. Has libraries for *everything*. Can be structured and enterprise, or quick-hack to fix a devops issue. Perl is beautiful and timeless.
