Let's not mince words: * If you don't support trans people, you're a bad human * If you have to add caveats to your support (e.g. "as long as my kids don't see"), you're one of the worst kinds of human * Trans deserve your *unconditional* support for their humanity
Not great.
Iran’s parliament has approved a measure to close the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz, a key global oil shipping route, following US strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites, state-run Press TV reported on Sunday. Major General Kowsari, a member of the parliament’s National Security…
It's neat to say that AI will kill entry level SOC analyst jobs, but if you're a CISO and really believe that, I have to ask where you think you'll get your next generation of "not entry level" SOC analysts from.
Customer service at @amazon has fallen off a cliff with their last mile delivery drivers. There's plenty of room for someone else to come in and dethrone Amazon, who clearly cares about profits but not deliveries.
If you think you aren’t capable, I want you to know that you are. If you think you can’t hack, please understand that you can. If you think you don’t belong, let me assure you that you do. Let’s talk. Hack the Planet. @RGB_Lights @stokfredrik @JackRhysider @MalwareJake

If you don't believe trans rights are human rights, unfollow me. But also, you're just a bad person. I mean this. A seriously bad, foundationally broken person. Take some time to introspect. What made you this way? Why do you care how someone chooses to live their life?
Trans rights are human rights. This is not a statement of aspiration. This is a statement of fact.
Food for (serious) thought.
I am in Poland and I can’t stop thinking about this. I want you to think about it too. Thanks.
I thought we were marching all the way to the White House but "Bunker Bitch" Trump has Lafayette Square blocked off. I'd be scared of the public too if I were him.

Same prompt, same context, wildly different output (just based on byte sizes alone). I do not understand how people are using generative AI without significant algorithmic guardrails to address this exact situation (not to mention other risks).

Great, Slack is now spamming my DMs, in a workspace I do not own, with ads encouraging me to upgrade. Yay enshitification!

It is frankly obnoxious that portal.office.com now redirects to a Copilot page with no direct link to Outlook, Word, etc. (you know, Office...).

(blatant plug of my own YouTube video) start here: redact.link/stuxnet Next, read as much @brysonbort and @MalwareJake as you can get your hands on: redact.link/bryson redact.link/jake (these link redirects will be updated if requested by subjects)
If you're an enterprise worried about your exposure to pro-Iran hacktivists, real talk: you're doing security wrong. Hacktivists lack sophisticated tools. They employ DDoS and hack-and-leak as their primary techniques. APTs they are not.
I'm just glad that as we face increased terrorism risks in retaliation for bombing Iran that there's a steady hand on the wheel for preventing terrorism in the US. Or mowing my yard. Or whatever he's actually qualified to do... propublica.org/article/trump-…

My face when they say there's no evidence of exfiltration, but they have no logs.

We need to mandate a label on AI generated articles so you know you're reading garbage. Ironically, pushing for this would help AI providers in the long run by not polluting their datasets, but would kill them in the short term, so we'll never get it.
Chat, it only gets worse. The fear mongering 16,000,000,000 password repackage password leak thingy which scared the normies and spread misinformation... was written using AI.
This idiot claims that Iran will attack the United States using Stuxnet code fragments because as a victim they have access to the code. Ummm, that code is nearly old enough to vote. It was uncovered around June of 2010. And it is basically in the public domain.
FORMER CIA HACKER: AMERICA WILL FACE A CYBER ATTACK IN THE NEXT 30 DAYS
This psycho shot me in the groin twice with 40mm munitions because I asked him for his name (which was ripped off of his helmet) after he shot others in the groin at close range too Watch him tell me he’s going to shoot me just for asking who he is:
LAPD officer Rick Linton is fucking unhinged and unloading on protesters at point blank range. FUCK THIS PIG!!
Were they lead based crayons?
