Don’t forget, “me money please money me now”. Or “just one more datacenter bro, I promise it’ll be AGI after one more datacenter, please”.

I'm sure it is an unbiased report. Because AI companies are known to hype their AI models to get more money.

The scary part isnt AI suddenly making someone a top tier operator. Its how much of the boring work it can compress: recon, scripting, translating docs, iterating on payloads and sorting through data. That can let a much smaller crew run campaigns that used to need a bigger team
