Please don't get mad at me when I say that AI, robotics, machine learning, data science, and advanced software will displace hundreds of millions of humans over the next five to ten years.

But it's true. Before long, human workers will struggle to compete with technology.

(It's not my fault.)

🇺🇸 America's cyber defenses just got benched! 🏈 The government shutdown has furloughed 65% of CISA personnel. 📉 While state-sponsored hackers & ransomware gangs work 24/7, our defensive team is down to a skeleton crew. 💀 Bad timing. 🤦‍♀️ #CyberSecurity #CISA

⚠️ Important distinction: Altman says tasks, not whole jobs. Your role won't vanish overnight, but the routine stuff will get handed to algorithms. Think research, drafting, and analysis. The shift is coming fast. 💨 #AI #Jobs #Working

MrComputerScience @mrcomputerscience.bsky.social · Oct 1

The 2030 Job Countdown is officially on. 😬 OpenAI CEO Sam Altman just dropped a bomb: he predicts AI could automate 40% of your current work tasks in the next few years. That's nearly half your workday! 🤯 Things are moving kinda fast. #AI #FutureOfWork #Jobs

100K+ SIM cards seized. That's enough burner phones for a spy convention! I wonder how many trolls on Reddit they had, lol. They could NEVER blackout Manhattan, though. I think they would still have pigeon couriers. 🐦😂 #Telecom #Cybersecurity

🚨 Crisis averted! Secret Service ghosted a sneaky nation-state plot to zap NYC's cell service this week. Imagine no Uber, no 911, no cell service. Who needs spies when you've got signal jammers? 📵😎 #NYC #Cybersecurity #Hackers #Hack #NewYork

Didn't Trump also say there's a big announcement coming today? 👀

16/302 AI-designed viruses worked. That's a 5% success rate for something that's never existed before! We've gone from AI learning from data to AI actively creating new biological entities. This could totally change how we fight diseases. But, one can't help but think this could go terribly wrong.

MrComputerScience @mrcomputerscience.bsky.social · Sep 24

📷 Scientists used machine learning to design viruses from scratch that actually work and KILL bacteria.

16 out of 302 AI-generated virus designs successfully replicated in the lab. We're now in an era where AI can literally WRITE the code of life. #AI

Just wanted to say THANK YOU for all the support on here. It really means a lot! (Sometimes I feel like nobody hears me on here. But at least you do.) Thanks again, you made my day.

MrComputerScience @mrcomputerscience.bsky.social · Sep 20

Sortof. I like being able to increase font size with epub format. I think I prefer audiobooks above all others.

MrComputerScience @mrcomputerscience.bsky.social · Sep 20

Hey there. Thank you for the response, even if you're no fan of my work. In any case, I think human governments are so corrupt, that I welcome an AI bot. At least open-source AI bots can be audited - easier than humans, at least. Thanks for your response in any case, and I wish you the best.

I trusted TransUnion to protect my data after a breach. Then TransUnion got breached. And yes, I was one of the 4.4 million victims. The irony writes itself. All the details are in the latest issue of Pithy Security. Plus many hidden gems. #cybersecurity

🚨 HISTORIC MOMENT: Albania just appointed the world's first AI government minister! 🤖🏛️ While we're debating AI safety, they went ahead and put one in charge of fighting corruption. 🇦🇱✨ (Bold move, Albania. I bet the AI will do a better job than humans.) #AI

Well this is scary. 😬

But, don't stop there.

The middle class no longer exists, really.

MrComputerScience @mrcomputerscience.bsky.social · Sep 5

I'm afraid the US empire is in collapse, sir.

Basic living standards will decline.

Inflation will increase.

Everyone will lie about it.

Am I on the right track?

🤫📰 Two weeks into Nevada's statewide ransomware shutdown and it's getting ZERO national coverage. Governor still won't say if they paid the ransom. Entire state government paralyzed, millions of residents affected, and... crickets from major media. Where's the outrage? #Cybersecurity

MrComputerScience @mrcomputerscience.bsky.social · Sep 4

🏛️💥 Nevada state offices STILL interrupted after 12 days from "network security incident." Government websites disrupted - no timeline for restoration. Whatever hit them hit HARD. State won't say ransomware, but... 👀 #Cybersecurity #Ransomware #Nevada
