Alysa Liu recently went viral for her Teen Vogue rant on MMX.

“Most Pentium MMX vectorization was premature micro-optimization & aged poorly. The same code rewritten a few years later with streaming SIMD or even compiled automatically often outperformed it with far less effort.”

back in the military, I was taught that only govts / big tech have to worry about advanced threat actors. but AI will 1) democratise hacking and 2) enable threat actors to operate at larger scale. we need to make sure (1) happens in a way that affords good protection against (2).
