@mttaggart@infosec.exchange At first I was thinking that it's just my natural optimism that makes me think this, but it's also seeing what the next generation is doing with AI. I have one Autistic kid in college, majoring in history. His circle of friends (other History majors) care deeply about knowledge and are doing great things with AI to integrate that knowledge into our daily lives. Then I work with college students all across Atlanta in Infosec. They get it. There's different groups that I've seen pop up working on different aspecs of AI, like the AI Safety Initiative at Georgia Tech. https://www.aisi.dev/ So maybe I see enough folks that fully understand what this next technology shift means AND are listening to us old folks about what didn't work before (I've been invited to speak at their events). I remain optimistic.
