I found it interesting the terminology in the talk, insomuch as I've always felt that computer science was by definition the study of intelligence, whereas psychology the study of sentience. And of course, because consciousness and sentience are themselves a series of bullshit tricks, psychology was as well. It's always interesting to see on the Twitters people complaining about how so much effort goes into studying advertising, a science which itself would not work if we were truly as self aware as we thought we were. :) """ But let me be clear about one thing that may make cybersecurity different than all else and that is that we have sentient opponents. The physicist does not. The chemist does not. Not even the economist has sentient opponents. We do. What puzzles we have to solve are not drawn from some generally diminishing store of unsolved puzzles, nor could our theories completely explain all observable fact thus reducing our worries and our work to engineering alone. There is something different about a search for truth when there isn't any, or at least any that lasts long enough to exhaustively explore. There is something different when what we can detect and from which we can then infer is even partly under the control of people at cross purposes to our purposes.
