    It's crazy that we're allowing so many things to be connected to the internet and subject to disruption when we know the platform is inherently insecure at this point.

    We should legislate against critical infrastructure being connected in this way.

    Skynet becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, August 29th.

    Not worried about Skynet (yet.)

    Worried about other actors that clearly have the capability to take things down and not just from a nation state perspective. How much of our wealth is held and managed in ways that a 3 day outage of internet service would essentially destroy the system?
