AI Fuels Cybercrime: Epstein's Legacy Evolves

The rise of artificial intelligence is creating both opportunities and challenges, with experts warning of its potential impact on cybercrime and the job market. While AI agents are still in their early stages, their potential to automate tasks and influence various aspects of life is becoming increasingly apparent, according to multiple sources.

AI is already making online crimes easier, according to MIT Technology Review. Hackers are using AI tools to reduce the time and effort required to orchestrate attacks, lowering the barriers for less experienced attackers. Some in Silicon Valley warn that AI is on the brink of being able to carry out fully automated attacks, while most security researchers argue that the immediate risks posed by AI, which is already speeding up and increasing the volume of scams, should be the focus.

The potential for AI to disrupt the job market is also a growing concern. Matt Shumer, an AI influencer, penned a viral blog on X about AI's potential to disrupt, and ultimately automate, almost all knowledge work. His 5,000-word essay, which has racked up more than 55 million views, warns of the radical changes coming to various professions. Shumer noted that on February 5th, two major AI labs released new models on the same day: GPT-5.3 Codex from OpenAI, and Opus 4.6 from Anthropic. "And something clicked. Not like a light switch—more like the moment you realize the water has been rising around you and is now at your chest," he wrote.

Meanwhile, Google has begun rolling out its Auto Browse agent (in preview) to AI Pro and AI Ultra subscribers, allowing the agent to surf the web on their behalf, according to Ars Technica. This agent has extraordinary reach because it's part of Chrome, the world's most popular browser.

In other news, the Epstein files have revealed more about the pedophile's relationship to 4chan, according to The Verge. Jeffrey Epstein was emailing back and forth with Boris Nikolic on October 24th, 2011. 4chan combined things the sex trafficker loved, like white supremacy and misogyny, and he was close to alt-right figures who drew from it to influence the world stage.
