History is the study of human mess.
And that mess matters. Because we’re not going to navigate the 21st century with clean models. The next pandemics, climate shocks, political collapses—they’re not going to play by the rules of probability theory.

Faking
Both cats were curled up in a ball, acting like they were asleep. When I looked closer though, they both had their eyes open. Were they pretending? Were they playing tricks on us? We may never know.

Cyberattacks by AI agents are coming
Agents could make it easier and cheaper for criminals to hack systems at scale. We need to be ready.
by Rhiannon Williams, April 4, 2025
"Agents are the talk of the AI industry—they’re capable of planning, reasoning, and executing complex tasks like scheduling meetings, ordering groceries, or even taking over your computer to change settings on your behalf. But the same sophisticated abilities that make agents helpful assistants could also make them powerful tools for conducting cyberattacks. They could readily be used to identify vulnerable targets, hijack their systems, and steal valuable data from unsuspecting victims.
"At present, cybercriminals are not deploying AI agents to hack at scale. But researchers have demonstrated that agents are capable of executing complex attacks (Anthropic, for example, observed its Claude LLM successfully replicating an attack designed to steal sensitive information), and cybersecurity experts warn that we should expect to start seeing these types of attacks spilling over into the real world."

Wonder if there's also a lack/distrust of empathy at work too?
(As in empathising with different points of view so that sources can be judged, trying to imagine yourself as another person with different priorities.)
