The chances are slim but AI may enable targeted hacking at scale. I simply wouldn’t risk downloading shit on a device with known security vulnerabilities, without any scope of fixes.
As an artist, designer (lil software engineer). I agree. Most of the advanced technical know how are out of public knowledge reach. There’s no way to find that information online, even considering pay walls.
