Here in Finland Mikko is know as "the rockstar of cyber security". Anyone watching this keynote will immediately see why.

[@VilleSarmiola]

Indeed, Mikko likes to talk and we like to listen Mikko talk about things.

So, did anyone challange Mikko on the fireball? :D
Great keynote, looking forward for the rest of the talks to get uploaded!

[@TROOPERScon]

Yes indeed, quite some people did. However, what Mikko didn't tell (as it's for a good cause of course): He's a pro! ;-)

Mikko is amazing and I love most of his talks, but the hype and spookiness over the AI/image gen showed his misunderstanding a bit. It really started to go off the rails a bit there when it comes to sensationalism :/

[@Frostyfication]

The sensationalism has a purpose. The AI alignment problem is real, and it's not being discussed nearly enough. It is not as bad as Mikko made it sound - it's actually worse. Unfortunately most of the AI "experts" are still in the Dunning-Kruger valley in their knowledge, therefore completely underestimating the threat.

@@Frostyfication I disagree with you. What he did was wrong and lessened his credibility greatly.

[@Frostyfication]

​@@beecee793I'd rather be wrong in this case.
