Second anniversary of our Apple TV’s spectacular attempt to understand me asking for “Hercule Poirot’s Christmas”

I have a thread on the La Poste thing. NoName have also joined in now. La Poste aren’t set up to deal with layer 7 DDoS so expect continued outages, they’re basically an easy target. cyberplace.social/@GossiTheDog...

If you didn't know, you can hide all games that have disclosed using AI in their store descriptions. Link: https://steamdb.info/sales/?min_discount=80&min_rating=0&min_reviews=5000&tagid=-1368160

Microsoft’s corporate culture of how people climb the ladder combined with their lack of management and oversight of generative AI initiatives is going to continue to be a car crash for customers. It is a situation designed for toxic outcomes (but not for staff).

Another example of attackers abusing npm as infrastructure. Our threat research team found a spearphishing campaign that published 27 malicious packages to host browser-run phishing pages. cc: @campuscodi.risky.biz @cisoseries.bsky.social @zackwhittaker.com

For anybody covering the Epstein emails, you might want to look at Jes Staley and "A". Example.

That CBS 60 minutes episode that got pulled is available for streaming via a VPN provider using a Canadian IP address - the international broadcaster didn't pull it. watch.globaltv.com/series/2893d...

If you pay attention to any large industry long enough and follow it to its logical conclusion you eventually end up sounding like a communist even if you started off testing CPU case fans. youtu.be/cUrJVdF2me0?...

sometimes I accidentally press the Copilot button this laptop and Copilot appears like a jump scare

This is some rookie cybersecurity stuff. "These cameras zoom in on passersby, sometimes so close we could read a random person's phone screen."

The Office spin off, CISA, is going to get renewed for a second season.

The best way I can describe adopting a dog is you get a career in being an Uber driver and Uber Eats driver for a dog, where instead of using an app, they order via whines and big eyes.

"Ryan Clifford Goldberg, a former incident response supervisor at Sygnia Consulting Ltd., and Kevin Tyler Martin, who was a ransomware negotiator for DigitalMint, pleaded guilty to one count each of conspiracy to interfere with commerce by extortion." www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

The US TikTok sale has been signed. The company will be controlled by a joint venture including Oracle, Silver Lake, Andreessen Horowitz, Abu Dhabi-based MGX. Adding a UAE company really makes it clear that this was never about national security concerns. www.axios.com/2025/12/18/t...

I am never going to stop lolling at all these GenAI projects which get rolled out.. and then the actual customers are like ‘okay, how do I tell it to fuck off?’

I think a lot of the discussion around AI isn't specific enough or informed enough, and that's why this piece from @edmondtran.bsky.social is so useful and important. These are actual concept artists spelling out in clear, unambiguous terms why Gen-AI is not only unhelpful, it's a nuisance.

Damn, Dan Bongino hasn’t transferred me the $13m he promised me yet!

I kinda miss the days where shady nations were trying to overthrow the US using poor effort social media campaigns. The US has overthrown the US, so now everybody has to make their money selling shit on TikTok with AI slop instead.

NEW: Cisco discovered a Chinese hacking campaign targeting an unknown number of customers. The hackers have been exploiting a zero-day in some of Cisco's most popular products "since at least late November 2025," the company said. There is no patch available at this point.

The Anthropic CISO thinks GenAI is growing neurons 🤣 www.404media.co/anthropic-ex...

My gaming PC has 192gb of RAM, purchased a year ago to get Flight Simulator 2024 working. I'm practically Richard Branson in 2025, touch me.

Somebody launched the "first 100% vibe coded playable game" on Steam last week, it's called Codex Mortis. It has AI generated code, art, sounds, music and "texts", along with an AI generated trailer. The game has 19 players on Steam, per SteamDB.

I have my Facebook locked to family but none of them liked this so I’m posting it here.

My dog is about 119 in dog years and can run around the house and play all day, whereas whenever I see stairs I heavy sigh and try not to die.

I would like to apologise you all my previous skeets They were written in a woke font I did not know if was woke I’m sorry for the hurt it caused twats I will try to font better in the future and improve myself

bless the heart of whoever posted this and thought it sounded good, lol

Over 19,000 games have released on Steam in 2025. Almost half of them have fewer than ten reviews.

You can reach the front end of GenAI.mil and poke different endpoints using a consumer Google VPN account as they forgot to lock it down. 🫡

I can’t tell which is the funnier news story, a font being declared woke, or this letter.

I’m gonna apply for US VISA so somebody has to read my tweets about spider balls and such.

If Rockstar really is union busting, they cannot be allowed to get away with it. Every ounce of pressure matters, and having the British PM weigh in is probably not something Rockstar's executives saw coming: thisweekinvideogames.com/news/uk-prim...

Notepad++ have published an update to fix the software being hijacked by threat actors remotely: notepad-plus-plus.org/news/v889-re... This was being abused by threat actors in China, a blog from mine from a week ago: doublepulsar.com/small-number...

I honestly think the reason GenAI has been so successful at getting orgs to pump money into a furnace is because it’s executive porn. It’s a mirror. People love mirrors. It accepts any idea, loves to be told it is wrong, and spits out infinite bullshit summaries about things people don’t understand

CIOs about to have a big budget problem as all their hardware costs are about to massively inflate (cloud provider’s cost will too, will they’ll pass on). Their solution is probably going to be sexy GenAI projects to “save money”.. lots of funneling money and jobs into a furnace basically.

Apparently the most controversial thing I’ve ever posted online is orgs should calmly assess the React vuln, and patch it needed, rather than panic and overreact. Shite cybersecurity vendors trying to dunk on me online - good luck with that, sure it will end up well for you.

Postal Bullet Paradise has been revealed and then cancelled a day later, after gamers pointed out it featured GenAI slop.

The reaction to the React vulns is overblown panic, some hype train derailment from me: cyberplace.social/@GossiTheDog...

Let It Die has launched to a player peak of 813 players (the previous one had 1.5m players on PC), a massive bomb. It has a player review score of Mostly Negative, with most reviews citing Generative AI usage by the developers.

It's because Microsoft can't seem to find any UK government threat actors... at all.. (There's nothing for Fog). They're lost in the fog otherwise known as Cheltenham.. which is entirely coincidentally where the Microsoft security research office is. 🌁

🙄 The holiday themed npm spam has arrived: 420+ auto-generated elf-stats-* packages claiming to be published every 2 min. This is just registry abuse at scale, and it’s a waste of everyone’s time. Nobody is going to accidentally install these packages but they're still unsafe to run. #NodeJS

I’ve started timing how long it takes me from opening LinkedIn to rolling my eyes.. turns out it’s under a minute most times.
