We should seriously get better at Cybersecurity. I discovered a zero day vulnerability affecting thousands of Internet exposed video surveillance devices all around the world.

Does it just crash the web interface for the camera or does it actually prevent the camera from recording video footage?

If the world becomes extremely terrible at some point in the next 20 years, that doesn't mean it will stay bad for another 20 years after that, let alone 200 years or 200 million years.

But if Lesswrong evades the worst of it, that looks like a win in my book.
