Meanwhile, AI agents move robotic arms, 'make OT device operator screens lie'

I think it's important to call out that this isn't an issue with AI being brilliant at hacking. It's that these systems are basically totally unsecured, and the main protection is that no one with the technical skill is bothering to try to get access.

This isn't to say this isn't a serious problem. We're moving from a world where you need a trained security expert to spend non-trivial time to get access to these systems to one where anyone with access to an un-restricted agentic LLM can do this trivially and quickly.

As a civilization, we need to start taking security seriously.
