Amid the ongoing wave of AI-powered cyberattacks, Anselm reshared Karpathy's "digital hygiene guide," calling it the most important read this week. The checklist: use a password manager for every account, set up physical security keys, randomize security question answers, encrypt your hard drive, remove unnecessary smart home devices, switch to Signal/Brave, mint virtual credit cards, use a virtual mailing address, never click links in emails, and use a VPN on public wifi. Anselm adds one caveat: never use biometrics, contrary to the guide's advice.
