Everyone is talking about script kiddies but that took a bit of research to do. I think the point hes making is you can ask the ai to find the script kiddy stuff so is doing the research for the person. So its like the hacker is like a cartwright and script kiddies are cart drivers and ai slop cyberattackers are like folks who book passage on a coach.

Cyber attacks in general have not required any particular skill for at least the past 20 years.

Of course depends on what you want to do and who you want to do it to. But those with great skill also decided to write software to make it easier for themselves. And these programs can be found if you want to find them

Sort of?

Script kiddies have been around since the first code languages. Machine learning is just script kiddies with a high-powered search tool.

Hey, JavaScript has been around for over 30 years, and I’m still not calling it a coding language. It will never be more than a scripting language.

I don’t care what fucking wizardy I fucking manage to do with it, I will die on this hill.

AI: exposing badly written code and poorly managed infrastructure at record speeds.

Will corporations and governments stop making those mistakes? not. a. chance.

Don't worry! Now we have age verification so there's always going to be plenty of valuable data to steal
