🐝 Hive Five 115 - AI models become a threat to hackers, 2023 Web Hacking Roadmap, and why DNS always breaks the internet

Hi friends,

Greetings from the hive!

I hope you had a peaceful weekend. I’m writing this while listening to Merry Christmas Mr.Lawrence by Ryuichi Sakamoto.

I’ve noticed that the least bit of friction will prevent me from doing something. So, I’ve been slowly improving those processes, and automating where possible.

Make it easier for yourself. Cut things out of your life. Reduce scope.

What process have you improved lately?

Let’s take this week by swarm!
