You majorly over-estimate the amount of effort that the average person puts into politics.

No, what I do is hold people accountable for their actions.

If they vote without knowing what they're voting for then they are a massive fuckup AND they voted for those things, and fuck you for giving child rape supporters a pass for supporting child rape. You're as bad as they are. Worse, arguably, since you allegedly know what you're doing.

Not all of the humans will lose the ability to think.

Some will, however, think of how to do evil.

Right now we are destroying the biosphere so some men can live lives in excess of kings.

AI is probably best seen as part of that trend, because it is magnifying it.

The humans who can think are oppressing the ones that don't, keeping them from learning to think and solving these problems.

Whether they do that with AI or not only changes how rapidly it happens, and how rapidly the climate runs away to the point that it destroys all modern civilizations.

It probably won't make humans extinct... but it will make all prior mishaps for humanity look like a sunday picnic.

This is a chicken and egg situation which is easily resolved with legislation. The government mandates that apartments, supermarkets and other car parks gain charging spots. They mandate new builds have chargers as part of construction sign off.

So your plan is to solve this problem within 40 years?

I have. With additional complexities, namely moving airplanes. You are clearly a clueless idiot full of yourself. Not everything that people like you find "very hard" actually is very hard. It just takes somebody with an actual clue (you do not qualify) to do it.

Comment Re:AI Tools is far more than LLMs (Score 1) 46

If you see that as a mistake, you are a moron and ignoring reality.

Reality is this: Many of the latest "LLM discovered" security bugs would have been found with entirely non-AI conventional tools. These tools were not used. And, incidentally, non-LLM "AI" does basically play no role in software security.

Yes to both questions about people, but both are engineers. I do not think technical illiteracy is getting larger. It was always very large, with brief periods where more people had basic knowledge about some specific tech as the alternative was simply no or no meaningful access to that technology.

It is bot historically and currently true that most people are incompetent and suck at risk management.

Of course that's never really been the case, but now that any bozo with $200 in their pocket can just pay an AI to find every possible security hole and report back, it's REALLY not the case.

By far not "every possible", but enough to massively increase the pool of attackers with a newly discovered vulnerability. And since most software is missing redundant security (because most software does not qualify as a product of professional engineering) this is far too easy. All engineering disciplines had to eventually accept that the thing that protects you is redundancy, because mistakes cannot be brough down enough. IT is not there at all, but it will not have a choice now.

There is. You read the standard, you implement the standard. And then you do an once-over over all time zones each year to check which standard they are following and if and when they are switching. Probably less than one competent engineer. But apparently, either MS does not have competent engineers or does not want to spend money on this. And hence they have a ton of egg on their faces. Again.
