Cybersecurity expert Marcus Hutchins (MalwareTech) sits down to cut through the 2026 AI hype, explaining why threat actors aren't using generative AI and why it won't replace tech jobs.

In this deep dive, Marcus reveals the reality behind the AI tech bubble and how executive hype is distracting from actual network vulnerabilities. We discuss the dangers of "vibe coding" critical infrastructure, why reactive SOC teams are giving attackers too much time, and why mastering foundational cybersecurity skills is more important now than ever. If you're navigating the current tech job market or working in threat intelligence, this is the reality check you need.
