Abandoned wordpress installs combined with auto-renewing certificates that can hang around for years once a site has been compromised rather than expiring after a couple of years. Or, they're pointed to some CDN somewhere or a cloud service or something. Man oh man the possiblities are endless.

Automation is going to kill us all.

It is always ads, marketing, or convincing you to buy more product. Destroying the planet one datacenter at a time just to shake the magic money tree one more time to find out that people that search for tina turner videos on tuesday are 0.00013% more likely to be influenced to buy mattresses within the next six weeks. Spending billions of dollars to make twenty bucks.

Gather round children let me tell you a story.

Well there I was you see, out back behind the gigascale datacenter and right when I rounded the corner by the swamp cooler and there was Sam Altman, and I say, "Hey Sam, what are you doing out here at this hour? I didn't expect a CEO to be so hands on!"

And so he says to me, "I'm just out looking for investors."

So I gets to thinking, and you know, maybe this AI thing could make our retirement for me in and missus a little bit sweeter, so I said, "Sure, I can invest in that? How much you need?" And you know what he said?

"I need about treefiddy."

Well it was about this time I got suspicious. What's the CEO of OpenAI doing out here at 3am and how did nobody notice he was 27 feet tall and lizard from the paleozoic era. It was a gyat damned loch ness monster.
