A Fiery Data Thief in Action

The Kraken1 has been busy, and the hype is real. AI – short for Artificial Intelligence – is on everybody’s mind. Proponents, meaning big tech and their trusty minions, are pushing this aggressively onto everybody’s agenda as if the end of the world is nigh. You know, to prevent us from catching our breath and suddenly using our remaining neurons to parse this correctly before blindly driving into a wall and just becoming mindless acolytes right away.
