   Recently read the book "SuperIntelligence" and found it fascinating as it delves into how AI could be catastrophic and what measures we could take to avoid that scenario. Could you give some examples as to how Facebook could do it

    Sorry for the late reply. As I said I am in the same boat as you so just worried about how I could get prevent myself from being "hacked". Email verification for user signups is something I am doing. Apart from that just looking a

    Pretty much in the same boat as you. The one thing I am making sure is anything that goes into the database is properly validated and sanitised as mentioned by the other user. Keeping keys as environment variables rather than in the files w
