I’ll go ahead and say it: there’s a lot going wrong in the world today. Understatement? Maybe. That being said, while I’m not going to take an optimistic stance on where the world is going in general, I wanted to share some good news about a topic that I am specially interested in. In it, things are going so well it seems impossible.
Recently, there’s been an increase in the amount of content generated procedurally on the web. At the same time, search engines like Google are relying more and more on AI to give you results. I also noticed that I find myself opening up YouTube and finding nothing there to watch, as the algorithm seems to show me the same videos every day.
I have bad news…. I first noticed this one day like any other, and once I noticed it, I couldn’t escape the reality. Hacking is boring. This may seem counter-intuitive at first. If you looked at your average hacker, they wouldn’t look bored. More like a mixture of stressed and angry/depressed, probably.
