Researcher calls for national-scale AI cybersecurity push: systems will finally be secure once backlog is paid down

Security researcher xlr8harder urges large national-scale AI-driven cybersecurity efforts, crediting OpenAI's Daybreak but arguing much remains undone. Key points: infrastructure security is dire, mid-tier gangs already ransom hospitals, AI merely exposes the rot; perfect security is a red herring versus defense-in-depth and active detection; expect disruption but no panic—once decades of security debt is repaid, systems will reach a genuinely secure new equilibrium.
