AI is huge. If you do use AI tools, you should be thoughtful about HOW you use it. Ted Yang has some suggestions!

We are currently living through a global experiment, as we have increasingly invited AI into our most vulnerable and lonely places. If we delegate our conscience to algorithms that aren’t haunted by regret or soothed by redemption, we risk a dangerous “ethical de-skilling.”

In a month where the EU has sanctioned three entities accused of supporting state-backed attack campaigns compromising tens of thousands of devices over the course of a couple of years -- sleeper bots are reality, not theory. Are we ready?
TechSequences Podcast@techsequences.bsky.social · 5mo agoWe are facing a new era of state-sponsored sleeper bots waiting for the signal to strike.
