Why Does Security Matter?

AI news is about to look very different with AI swarms (100+ bundles of agents) working all over the internet.

I used to think security was just about privacy. I quickly learned, with Naval Ravikant's work in 2019, that invisibility is a superpower. If you have a digital footprint, there's data about you that's accessible to the public world. And that scares people for a few reasons.

1) Being sold to

Every piece of media you've consumed in the last 24 hours, every tug of war towards your attention, the end intent is to individually sell to you. The hurtful part, it'll work. When you're on the hunt for a deal, your search engines want to join you for the hunt.

The reality is that "good deal" can be an echo chamber (an environment of conversation that reinforces itself). For example, when your friends are shopping for the same thing as you, two people searching the same thing within 5-10 minutes of each other in the same location might be a useful data point to target someone who might be interested in buying.

If you learn how to harness tools for this data, marketing and advertising will be lucrative for you.

If you're not into marketing, then the second point is worth paying attention to.

2) Dead Internet

Consuming a thread of reviews on a product on Reddit, but instead of it being 18 unique individuals, it was 18 AI agents conversing with each other on a chained job, set on a cron job (i.e. every 52 minutes).

Imagine setting up a few of these, you essentially create an entire ecosystem through prompt chain.

No better time to reflect on your consumption habits. This is real architecture going into businesses today. Worth the rabbit hole
