Cyberwarfare
Autonomous malware is the new biological weapon. The integration of artificial intelligence and quantum processing will render international cyber law completely obsolete. Inspiration: Thinking about the current state of quantum computing. Realizing that high error rates are terrible for scientific modeling but absolutely perfect for brute-forcing global encryption keys.

Western strategy relies on the assumption that every opponent wants to survive. When you fight an adversary who values martyrdom or historical legacy over their own life, all of our mathematical models completely collapse.

Launching a startup often feels like going to war against a giant monopoly. Jacques Benkoski proves that you do not need a bigger army to win. You just need to study how the Allies pulled off the D-Day invasion.
