I think cities are going to learn they need to have people to address hacking 24 /7 . In fact businesses as well they need to start thinking about having IT available anytime.

As we move closer towards AI taking over a large portion of jobs, they're going to have to create ways which will make the AI hack proof which will be probably a more daunting task than creating the AI in the first place

Lol, cracking up. Back in the day we used to make prank phone calls to people, mostly harmless, full of snickering. Toilet papering houses, egging cars, putting M80s in halloween pumpkins. Hi school had a seniors prank day...
All felonies now. sheesh, can't have any fun anymore.

That wasn't just a prank. This endangered many lives because this bs interfered with the response time of law enforcement and probably first responders.
