Social engineering -- the art of tricking people into doing stupid shit -- has always been the most reliable way to hack anything. Now with AI browsers and agentic this and that, we've actually built social engineering into the code. So it can be used to trick others but also trick itself. Brilliant!

Watched the Kubrick classic 2001: A Space Odyssey on an international flight recently, and can confirm this movie is still the best way to fall asleep on a plane.Watched the Kubrick classic 2001: A Space Odyssey on an international flight recently, and can confirm this movie is still the best way to fall asleep on a plane.
Except the part where (SPOILER ALERT!) Hal (AI) goes rogue and starts killing the crew. I'm not proud of this, but I have frequent fantasies of being Dave, where I'm floating around inside AI's mind, disconnecting critical circuits while the machine gurgles "Daisy."
