and your address from another, and a few other little data points that can get you into trouble, your bank account number from a third breach, that AI is able to reach out at scale, pull all those together, and give the tools to a cyber criminal to target you with a pretty scary cyber attack.

And so quantum essentially puts these even more powerful tools in the hands of what we like to call malevolent actors.

And it means that we'll be less secure in that future.

Unless, of course, some new technologies come along or are developed that allow better forms of protection that maybe it won't even be encryption.

Maybe it'll be something else.

But because we don't see that now, it's really scary.

Exactly.

It's kind of like Y2K, like the sky isn't probably going to fall, but there will be fallout if we're not careful and if we're not prepared.

So we should be having those conversations now and asking ourselves,

What technologies, what protocols, what kind of training do we need?

You know, what does that roadmap look like?

Now's the time to start having those chats.

It is.

And I think, you know, every time we install an app, we have to make that, we have to have that conversation with ourselves.

Am I getting something out of it that justifies what permissions I'm allowing it to have?

Yeah.

Do you really need to have a live stream what's going on in the White House?

Or do you need real-time updates, as they say, straight from the source?

Or in exchange for them having your precise location every few minutes, them knowing your biometric data, them being able to modify settings on your device governing what does and does not get stored.

I mean, this is a really aggressive set of permissions from an administration that, quite frankly, I wouldn't trust to shovel my walk.
