Finally some folks are starting to say "Yemen" rather than "Houtis"

@gadi

I am going to sub-toot, but there are 'respectable' #InfoSec pros on this platform and others that absolutely refuse to enge with Ai as a new attack surface and new attack vector.

One 'well regarded' infosec practitioner, speaker at conferences, with large following said they "Will sit and watch it all burn".

Which is exactly like a fireman watchin the town burn because ideology.

@i_dont_like_ai @wifsten

I like your approach of leaning into points of view that challenge yours. Refreshing atitude to see. More mutually beneficial that #block

I had a good go at finding an AI critical study from MIT in the last 12 months.

I found Demirer et al. (2024), "The Effects of Generative AI on High Skilled Work": MIT Sloan + Microsoft/Princeton/UPenn.

Who found that junior developers were up to 39% more productive and experienced developers were up to 13% output increase. You could spin it negative.

The one a little bit negative was the METR study, cited by Neil Thompson (MIT CSAIL/FutureTech), February 2026: Experienced open-source developers wrote code faster with AI but took 19% longer on the overall task. Developers self-estimated a 20%+ speedup.

Maybe it was an older study.
Or just the Kosmya study, it was everywhere for a while.

The collective moral abdication of professional responsibility of nearly the entire #infosec industry towards #ai is a disgrace.

2028, June: #OpenAi "Automated researcher" finds that indeed, the source of all of humanities problems is naked, predatory #capitalism

2028, July: #Aibubble bursts, collapsing the entire industry.

OpenAI is throwing everything into building a fully automated researcher

The Kosmyna "Your Brain on ChatGPT" preprint at least hooked up EEGs and measured actual brains doing actual tasks. Flawed, preliminary, n=54 — but real science trying.

Gerlich? STOP. CITING. GERLICH.
(It's Business school FFS)

The viral "AI makes you dumb" paper doesn't test if AI makes you dumb. It asks people to self-rate their thinking on a Likert scale. That's the whole study. A vibes check dressed up in ANOVA.

It claims to use the Halpern Critical Thinking Assessment. It doesn't. Zero HCTA items. That's not a simplification, that's fraud-adjacent.
Let me restate IT DOES NOT MEASURE CRITICAL THINKING!!!

Forbes ran it. Big Think ran it. PsyPost ran it. Psychology Today ran it. None of them read it.

A paper about the death of critical thinking, amplified by the total absence of critical thinking. This is what we deserve.

Nebu takes a hatchet to it an leaves a twitching corpse.

Were not Maggots excited that tRump will finally run US like a business...
...make it bankrupt.

@daedalus

Chainsaw is a good analogy, since it's a dangerous power tool that requires no certification whatsoever to use.

So yeah, chainsaws, way better than the axes used before

@tofugolem

Would I trust any random to write #vibecode to change the date?
No.

Would I trust a skilled operator?
Yes.

Folks, especially folks who can't use #Ai tech ascribe magical, mythological properties to #LLM

Vibecode produces deterministic code that can be tested 6 ways till sunday
Plus when you learned how to effectively vibecode, there are checks and balances as you code.
The wood folk think you rattle the tin until dice fall out.
Which is kida sweet in its naivete.

I love to listen to virgins talk about sex.
It's very fun.

Translation; USS Gerald R. Ford has been damaged by Iran balistic missile and subsequently both of the Carriers have run with a tail between their legs over 1000km from the coast of #Iran to avoid further "Laundry fires"

@MAKS23

That's a fucking bullshit excuse.
There was no "secrecy"

You could see US invasion preparations for months ahead, the fleet staging and the string of heavy cargo planes and the $15,000,000 for steak and crustaceans for the troops "last meal" #Whiskyleaks bought troops before the invasion.

Rutte is insulting peoples intelligence and I hope the #European position to trump invasion of #iran will be that of the french "fuck off"

@foufoutos @zer0unplanned

#Australia has introduced age verification to socials.

You can bet, if there is some kind of #civilliberties shitfuckery about, it's a global initiative by #technonazis and/or our owners.

This "age verification" bullshit is purely about ending anonymity on the net.
Full surveillance with no court orders to #deidentify.

High rents killed "High street"
Most shops lose money and are there for "presence"

As to the coffee shops, unless there are part of a chain they are supported by 120h/week of husband/wife work and underpaying staff.

Radio has no encryption, I was thinking more of something like briar but for voice, no encryption needed. Would afford "radio" in dense population centres.

But I love the way you think!
Don't think obstacles!
Think, DO IT!!!
