White House Cybersecurity Strategy Is Light on Details, Big on Consequences

The policy, which name-checks President Trump 15 times, aims to hit cyber adversaries first and 'use all instruments of national power to raise the costs for their aggression.'

It's your annual performance review. You think your AI boss hates you, but you can't tell. It sends you a one pager filled with your productivity metrics. Conclusion, "only human". You take solace that you can hide in MS Teams, even the Machines don't want to go there.
