John F. Kennedy said that a crisis represents both danger and opportunity. And so it is with the rush to embed large language models into everything.
What a great opportunity for Stan and Julie to riff on the complex challenges of the cyber-incunabula. An example: In the old days - like last year - we warned people to look for spelling errors as a sign of a phishing attack. What was once good advice is now no-where-near sufficient as ChatGPT can write grammatically correct phishing emails structured to appeal to the reader’s emotions. As we discussed in podcast #10, “Distrust and caution are the parents of security.” Now more than ever.
And what are we to make of a Chatbot that writes an opinion piece recommending that the way to solve the problem of homelessness is to shoot unhoused people. AI’s risk to society — to democracy — is profound. That’s why it’s so important we the people get our arms around it before it gets its artificial arms around us.
As always, Stan and Julie provide actionable tips and thoughtful wisdom in a fun conversation on the complexities of cybersecurity and privacy.
