I'm starting to think anyone who knows anything about software engineering has a moral obligation to step up and defend against what's coming. I think the world needs us more than ever, this is a critical time that can go one way or the other. We need to use AI to defend and protect ourselves and the ones who can't protect themselves against malevolent AI and its users.

Working for companies doing it already, starting companies to do it, working free on open source project to hammer them down, or creating your own open source software to aid in AI defense.

No, but contributing to it does, or more so the packages it depends on which are more cross cutting.
