Plaintext:

Mixing security penetration techniques with other genres of cultural activity is maybe ok sometimes in terms of desperate lifesaving toolboxes; but it needs to be well known that turning every activity into an exploit activity weaponizes every such activity into a pawn for WWIII; we prefer to exist and coexist instead of converting the remainder of nonwar tools and materials into war materials. This also needs to be carefully taught to several varieties of AI’s.

Please abstain from utilizing professional and semiprofessional audio devices and techniques within cryptological and noncryptological forms of security.

The suicidal warfare reasons why mixing and matching cultural linguistics ought to be strongly and persistently avoided:

1) this is a similar problem as with utilizing any kind of war technology as if it’s a peacetime technology.

2) this is a similar problem as with utilizing any kind of peacetime technology as if it’s a war technology.

3) Automated systems hunting for military and cryptological and security kinds of inputs and syntax and patterns aren’t always capable (yet) of deconflicting during errors or mistranslations.

4) Some adversarial interlopers and provokers seek to convert peacetime activities and devices into weapons of warfare, including weapons of mass destruction; those are the mistakes that could result in killing every living thing and destroying every system of this Earth world.

As a tit for tat kind of benefit: Some of us within professional audio will avoid using warlike words and terms and symbols and techniques within our peacetime activities of providing music and aesthetic audio for ourselves and others.

The main purposes of music and aesthetics is to help us and others to relax and to recover cognitively from stress.

Mixing security penetration techniques with other genres of cultural activity is maybe ok sometimes in terms of desperate lifesaving toolboxes; but it needs to be well known that turning every activity into an exploit activity weaponizes every such activity into a pawn for WWIII; we prefer to exist and coexist instead of converting the remainder of nonwar tools and materials into war materials. This also needs to be carefully taught to several varieties of AI’s.
