#[0]​ hope all is back to normal following that dragged out ear infection, here the perfect protection going forward (no bacteria/water in, sound yes) https://surfears.com/our-story/

Real challenge I see is non-technical ppl setting up and running their own servers. We’re talking domains, SSLs, hardware choices, firewalls, physical location, backup, etc. Updating software once it’s running is comparably easy. But maybe “your” AI one day can do all of that for you, then question remains how it knows it’s you when you instruct access changes.

# AI-Enabled Hacking Will Lead To Decentralization

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming the world around us, automating tasks and enabling advanced technologies that once belonged only in science fiction. However, alongside its many benefits, AI also poses significant risks - particularly when it comes to cybersecurity. In this essay, we will explore how AI has the potential to make hacking much easier, the challenges it poses to centralized services, and how this will lead to decentralization and pave the way for the web we all want to see.

## Centralization of Data: A Hacker's Paradise

The centralization of data in services like Google, Facebook, and other major platforms makes it increasingly easier for hackers to gain access to sensitive personal information. With AI technologies becoming more sophisticated, hackers can now imitate an individual's voice, behavior, and even appearance to bypass security measures and mine valuable data. In short, AI is like a hacker's Swiss Army knife.

Hackers with AI can and will exploit any vulnerability in a centralized service's attack surface. And make no mistake, your data will become increasingly more important as they will be used as training data to imitate you to hack you further.

## The Solution: Decentralization and Personal Data Ownership

The risks posed by AI-enabled hacking highlight the urgent need for decentralization in digital services and a shift towards personal data ownership. By hosting our own services, we can take control of our data and reduce the chances of it being compromised by hackers. It's time to move from a giant honeypot of data to a collection of smaller, more secure honey jars.

Hosting our own services allows us to store and manage our sensitive information on our personal devices or private servers, ensuring that we have complete control over who has access to it. This approach not only provides a higher level of security but also empowers us to manage our digital lives with confidence and autonomy.

To implement this level of decentralization, we need to develop and adopt user-friendly tools and platforms that enable individuals to easily host and maintain their own digital services. These tools should prioritize privacy and security, ensuring that even less tech-savvy users can confidently manage their personal data.

Additionally, the broader digital ecosystem should support and encourage best practices and continual immunization against hacking. Together, we can build a digital neighborhood watch.

## Conclusion

The rapid advancement of AI technology has the potential to revolutionize the way we live and work. However, it also presents new and significant cybersecurity threats, particularly in the realm of hacking. By embracing decentralization and personal data ownership through hosting our own services, we can safeguard our digital lives from the dangers of AI-enabled attacks and build a more secure and trustworthy digital ecosystem.

The future may seem uncertain, but by taking control of our data and working together to create a decentralized digital landscape, we can overcome the challenges posed by AI-enabled hacking and shape a more secure, hopeful future for us all. So let's roll up our sleeves and get to work, building a self-sovereign digital world.

While I think you are right about the forces pushing in that direction, I find it hard to see how the average person will be able to “securely” host their own data if we can barely keep them from using their birthday as password.

Now tell me they take Bitcoin and I’ll be there asap! :)

Also looks like the best setting to have it! If it’s a restaurant let us know where this magical place is, would love to patronize it, otherwise enjoy the privacy 🙏

Costa rican sopa de mariscos en leche is the best ;)

Not yet

🤔 Might not be the popular opinion but since it’s been a while and you don’t want it to become a chronic thing at this point would consider stopping by doc to get ABs. Follow up with phials of high concentration Probiotics (“Enterogermina”) to reset intestine biome. Had heavy ear infections as kid and teen, absolutely no fun.

You have the right to remain silent…
