2026 will bring more blockchain/quantum/AI scams, hacks, overvaluations, bankruptcies; VC psyops, trolls and bots, paid articles and endorsements.

Meanwhile there wont be no...
- "AGI"
- useful/practical quantum computers
- meaningful blockchain use beyond tokenization

Like the past 10 years.

The WIRED Guide to Digital Opsec for Teens Practicing good “operations security” is essential to staying safe online. Here's a complete guide for teenagers (and anyone else) who wants to button up their digital lives.

I was really thrilled to get to work on The WIRED Guide to Digital Opsec for Teens with @aumasson.jp. I think we did a good job but also apologies in advance to the teens that we tried to make jokes and generally Be Chill. Also no paywall to make it easier to share! www.wired.com/story/digita...
