Iran....................
Citizens Free Press had these three headlines this morning re AI and cyberterrorism
“”””Biohacking and Bioterrorism are huge risks posed by AI in rogue hands.
BILL GATES ISSUES WARNING ON AI.
You can read the full (deep dive) warning at Gates personal website.””””
Since Iran has lost the military war, we should expect the Iranian computer dudes will be using any and all tools to attack the USA.
Time to turn out the lights in Iran.

The way things are going, they will be able to “hack” people soon.
Hammered? Crumbled?
