The Dave and Busters Anomaly

Alex Stamos, cyber security expert:

Something I tell my Standford students is that security is an incredible field to get into because it's the only part of computer science that gets worse every year. Every part of CS gets better — graphic, compute, storage — but systems get more complex, less understandable, and more important every year. As a results, systems get less safe and there's more need for people to break them and then make them safer.

Brb, switching professions.

And AI has massively multiplied that...because we have no friggin idea why they work. We just build these things, we train them on these huge training sets, and then they just kind of happen [laughs] they just kinda do things.

Then comes the kicker:

We are building software systems that are beyond human comprehension. And then we're throwing them in our pockets and building our lives with them.
