Security researcher Joshua Saxe argues that too few cybersecurity specialists are publicly grappling with the medium-term implications of AI's exponential advance. He urges those quietly thinking about it to speak up, because the current discourse is dominated by three groups: those turning AI's future into cartoonish marketing shlock, loud deniers downplaying anything's coming, and futurism claims unmoored from practical security knowledge that ring false to practitioners.
