Two things make this question relevant: AI being designed to find exploits and Election Day in the US coming up.

So to combine the two things so as long as AI haven't realized yet that all it would need to do to seize the fediverse is to hack the ML instance, can AI hack election machines as a part of its current power?

Election machines are just janky computers with specialized hardware, so of course.

Meanwhile, the Trump admin is working on testing hacking voting machines while doing basically no work at all on security. They cut the agency in charge of that by a 1/3.
