Some HNers already mentioned that the internet has not been a safe haven for a long time. All these vulnerability scanners and parsers were pinging my localhost servers even in mid 2k. It has just become worse, and even OSS and usually captcha-free places are installing things like Anubis [1].

All of this reminds me of some of Gibson's short stories I read recently and his description of Cyberspace: small corporate islands of protected networks in a hostile sea of sapient AIs ready to burn your brain.

Luckily, LLMs are not there yet, except you can still get your brain burnt from AI slop or polarizing short videos.
