Ask HN: Should I be stockpiling goods because of AI and cybersecurity?

An Ask HN poster says non-prepper friends are stockpiling goods citing "AI and cybersecurity," and asks whether this is unsubstantiated panic or something worth more attention. They note being deeply familiar with AI developments and cite reports of countries issuing notices and the Pentagon's 90-day off-grid plans, while saying the prepping feels "a little Y2K" to them.
