AI Hacks and Chatbots: A Brain Drain?

Is AI making us less sharp or just more dependent? The tech reflects on our cognitive futures.

The Meta hack shows that even simpler AI exploits can be devastating, highlighting the need for a broader approach to security beyond superpowered models like Mythos. Meanwhile, psychologists warn that offloading cognitive tasks to chatbots may weaken critical thinking and emotional intelligence.


Anthropic has called for a global slowdown in AI development, citing risks of self-improving models. This comes at a time when AI is increasingly integrated into our daily lives, from gene editing to financial stakes in tech firms.


Beyond the tech news, there are signs that bots are already overtaking humans online. Meta’s facial recognition code for smart glasses adds another layer of complexity to privacy concerns, while ASML’s cutting-edge lithography technology keeps Moore's Law alive despite challenges.
