We all know how Intel AMT is the jews' Final Solution to the Botnet Escapers Question. We all know that this shit can make it piss easy to install rootkits that will spy on our lolis, database dumps, deep web activity and other kinds of dubiously legal content. However, there is one big question I haven't seen answered in this board:

What will happen to those who use computers for specialized work that requires high performance machines, like big data, design or accounting work that absolutely requires Microsoft Excel?

The general public and the small companies are not the only ones that could be affected by AMT's rootkit functionality. Big megacorps will be affected too. You can potentially turn Intel's own weapon against themselves, just find out how to exploit AMT, track down a non-technical employee, hack his computer and there you go. The government is in theory exposed to these attacks too by using computers with AMT. Basically they have turned the computer world into a jungle where everyone, from the insect feeders to the superpredators, is vulnerable and must hack before being hacked.

Will the powers that be just dismiss that as collateral damage or a small price to pay for keeping their absolute power?

First off, that is one bitchin' anime girl.

Well, you pretty much hit the nail on the head: the modern computing world is a jungle. The masses are a softened, easy target made doubly exploitable by federal governments and lawbreakers alike.

Whenever I visit any sort of medical clinic or office building which requires Microjew Wangblows for its bioinformatics or accounting software, I kinda die a little inside. This only bolsters the belief that big government will always look for ways to invade the private lives of its citizens, and in the US, practically violating the 4th Amendment altogether.

That's perfectly right, everyone is vulnerable. The Russians and the Chinese vigilantes feared by Ted Koppel are just as vulnerable as you and I, and we can't put an absolute end to it as a people. No matter our democratic rights.

After all, we're just highly evolved primates destroying our own planet.

So, it's time we all learn black hat penetration so we can hack the hackers before they do?

Does that also means the government is making itself as vulnerable as us, they just think they are invincible because of their national security apparatus?

Not necessarily. You certainly can if you want, but then you'd be just like them, a vigilante.

As for national security, yes. The NSA is just as its name suggests: the National Security Agency. Their mission is to preserve the American Empire's global monopoly on human communications, in order to fasten their hold on their own nation's security.

There reputedly are some NSA programs that are automated responses to penetration testing of federal computers. If I'm not mistaken, one such program is codenamed "MonsterMind".

Ever still, Intel is their master. They make the CPUs, the make the hardware backdoors, they call the shots.

Hotwheels let me post.

If you're actually interested, this is a good place to start on AMT. If security researchers can find this shit then you bet your ass the gov can as well.
