Why Aren’t Things Worse?

Read Original

This article explores the question of why more bad things, specifically cybercrime, don't happen. It applies the Theory of Constraints to identify the controls and friction points that limit the number and impact of cyber threat actors. The author discusses factors like skill, operational difficulty, and moral restraint, then examines how changes such as AI-enabled crime tools, economic pressures, and reduced traceability could lower these barriers. The piece is a thought experiment on tech-enabled crime and societal risk, relevant to cybersecurity and technology trends.
