To me there is no increased threat landscape. The world is a scary place, full of baddies trying to get you. Since the dawn of the internet there has been vulnerabilities being found and used maliciously. Just because the big tech sota models are shouting about how great they are by finding them, giving them some nice free marketing, doesn't mean that much has changed.
Ok, ai has increased the frequency and amount being found, but that is equally increased both for malicious and cybersec, so it essentially cancels out.
My server is public facing and secure, so that both myself, family and friends can use it, especially for the less tech savvy.
This is not what experts are saying.

You're determined that I worry about my public server aren't you? Your initial question wasn't actually a question, but just a trap for you to lure me into to be converted to your way of thinking?!?! rumbled! ๐ There are always experts to quote for any argument. Personally, I don't feel any more vulnerable than before ai decimated the security landscape.
