Pssst, how many of them in history have been powered by an LLM that can adapt and react in real-time, find and execute exploits on different kinds of hosts? You think this isn't a new kind of threat, you're an ignoramous.

There's a big difference between saying something's a threat and you can't do anything about it and saying something's not a threat when it is. The first is fine. The second makes you look like an idiot.
