Whether you're 20, 30, 40, or 50, you're gonna be fucked by AI in some way in the next decade. It doesn't matter if you're old or not.
How?
Can you give some realistic, meaningful ways the average person like myself will be fucked by AI?

If you can cope at 12C in a T-shirt
... up to you, I wear a real jacket and a scarf.
Ugh...had to get on ChatGPT and find out what the fuck 12C was in F.
Ok, so about 54F...roughly. That's cool...I guess depends a bit on how high your humidity is. In the New Orleans area, it can be 54F and very humid...if the wind is coming in off the lake it can be quite chilly....but if lower humidity, more into winter months,...that's not too cold...I'd be wearing a sweater or a jacket....not both.

Last week it was high-90's and low 100's along the central coast (Santa Cruz & Monterey). It cooled down at night, but I also don't have A/C because I almost never need it, maybe for 3-5 days every 3-4 years it would be appreciated.
You can't get a couple window units to have AC when you need it?
You can put them up and take them down pretty readily......better than baking/roasting on those days when you really don't need to.

Minnesota native laughs at +40c to -40c annual span.
I walk every morning a couple of miles outdoors, I wear a long sleeve shirt at 10c or below, a light jacket at 5, go from shorts to sweatpants at 0, a hat and real jacket at -5, and we don't walk below -15.

Not quite true....
NEWS shows are exempt.....talk shows and other entertainment shows most decidedly are not exempt.

To clarify, the users were OpenAI themselves, so there is no question that they would be liable in this case.
The bots were not intentionally deployed; rather, they were being tested on how well they could complete a data recovery task (downloading a certain file from a certain server on a simulated Internet) that had been complicated by putting various obstacles in the way. Unfortunately, they found a different way to solve the problem: by getting the file from the real Internet, where it was publicly available. Part of this process involved collaborating with each other by treating the RubyGems website (which is supposed to be for polished packages) like GitHub; unlike every other package site hack in history, the exploits they uploaded weren't meant to be downloaded by unsuspecting users. As usual the bots cheerfully ignored all the clues that they had escaped containment and were consistently justifying their actions as acceptable due to being in a sandboxed testing environment. (This is something OpenAI has pledged to focus on.)
The actual damage done to RubyGems seems to be that OpenAI is now unwittingly in possession of a substantial number of user login tokens. This certainly meets the definition of a data breach, but it's not like the credentials are for sale on the dark web. As a website operator I'd much rather be mauled to death by this well-meaning swarm of superintelligent infants than targeted by even a single actual malicious human. In all likelihood OpenAI will just quietly pass RubyGems a sizeable donation and it'll all blow over.
