Feel like FTC could scrape HN and get a pretty good idea of some of the tomfoolery happening in cloud computing, e.g., https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35209497 . Also, some of the current security risks may not be great

There's a situation where GPT4 is actually (more than) reasonably good at math and science, which signals ability to create novel, reliable algorithms. Granted, the prompter has to recognize errors and prompt for correction, however th
