@jags.bsky.social and @hegel.bsky.social Kicking us off. “We don’t talk about next year”

This week's show is YouTube ready @craiu.bsky.social @jags.bsky.social 🔥 Microsoft Sharepoint security crisis: Faulty patches, Toolshell zero-days youtu.be/3GJuVGmpexA

I only buy the cheese, consuming it is for the symbolic 'Other'.

Watching Claude Code fixing and changing Obsidian settings makes me happy #AgenticYakShaving

New pod for your weekend listening @craiu.bsky.social @jags.bsky.social securityconversations.com/episode/how-...

For anyone that gets carsick looking at their iPhone, turn on motion cues and thank me later.

I went to a mall today. Pretty sure a tumbleweed just rolled by. #SaveTheHeartland

I don't need this shit.

Case in point.

There's something morbidly fascinating about the subversion of class strife (into|via) identity politics– watching people in the same socioeconomic bracket interpret each other's economic frustration as entitlement worthy of antagonism and proceeding to describe their own with a different twang.

Honestly, I'm genuinely infinitely grateful for o3 w Search and the broader availability of reasoning models. This week it has twice identified obscure medication interaction issues resulting in timely drastic quality of life and peace of mind improvements I would not have had otherwise.

My favorite device Adm. Hopper used in talks was to cut 12" lengths of wire off a coil of wore and would say,"Each of those is a nanosecond" (the distance light travels in one nanosecond). She'd then explain that the distance light travels in a microsecond would be a 1000 foot length of wire.

Ahh yes. The mother of COBOL. ghc.anitab.org/about

The singularity is awesome

Still the baddest.

There's some things Twitter is still good for... x.com/juanandres_g...

It's genuinely fascinating, disconcerting, and perplexing to hear every $big_co domain expert I know describing the inner workings of development efforts as 'hopeless shitshows'. AI may be hitting the gas on a lot of things, and a lot of those seemed to be aimed right at walls or off of bridges.

It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this

This week's show is a three-hour deep dive into Predatory Sparrow and the long-simmering Iran-Israel cyberwar (with @darkcell.bsky.social @craiu.bsky.social @jags.bsky.social youtu.be/MKKzHseTUUQ?...

MeteorExpress (aka Predatory Sparrow, @GonjeshkeDarand, Adelat Ali, Indra, CodeBreakers, etc) represents the most significant effort at cyber signaling and force projection in nearly a decade. #NoRegerts www.sentinelone.com/labs/meteore...

Google has declared today a North Korean holiday!

Honestly, I want to love you OpenAI, I really do... but releasing two different products named Codex in direct succession just feels a little slapdash...

The LOLSOB emoji should be an ADA accommodation.

Pray for the benefits of RLHF to kick in soon because 'higher reasoning' alone isn't cutting it. o1-pro is still a more useful and powerful reasoning model imo but let's see what happens when the output gets revamped a bit.

This now occupies a disproportionate ratio of my reason to stay alive through the end of this week. #o3pro

Alright, @frame.work, what would it take to get the a commemorative ‘Hackers’ (1994) external case? (And an ortholinear keyboard >.> )

Fun fact, I don’t remember ordering this at all.

Once a day I think OpenAI has released o4. Then I realize it has just switched me back to 4o. And my life is just a little sadder.

I love these guys! @frame.work has been providing the speaker awards for LABScon the past three years. I finally get to build my own 🥹

Shoutout to @mikko.bsky.social for filling in during my SLEUTHcon outing!

Just putting it out there…

Tupolev Tu-95 long range strategic bombers only do this when they're VERY scared.

Last night I went to see Mission Impossible: Final Reckoning, where a rogue AI takes over the entire US nuclear arsenal, and all I could think was: this shit wouldn’t have happened if they’d published ISO 19790:2025 for free.

Seems rude, frankly.

Your key takeaway from the brilliant Ukraine attack with small drones into Russia shouldn’t be “wow, small drones make it so easy to score huge hits,” it should be “wow, Ukrainians are insanely good at covertly planning and executing extraordinarily difficult missions of which drones are one part”.

This week's show is up in color on YouTube @craiu.bsky.social @jags.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=tOdI...

How does Gemini have fewer model options every time I check?

Re @jags.bsky.social take on red team vs blue team arrogance from the last episode of Three Buddy Podcast:

NEW POD!! CISA’s multi-agency APT28/FancyBear advisory (solid intel, sloppy YARA); Sekoia finds 5K+ hijacked edge devices moonlighting as Chinese honeypots; Signal’s move to block Windows Recall screenshots, and an Akamai/Microsoft vuln-disclosure debate @craiu.bsky.social @jags.bsky.social 👇

Glad we solved that problem…

Google Project Mariner looks real nice (but in true Google fashion, seems entirely unpurchaseable), while OpenAI Operator seems slow, clunky, and useless... where's the solid alternative?

It's insane that even o3 continues to think in terms for 4o when it comes to its thinking about how LLMs are prompted, interacted with, or coded for. It may be the single most self-defeating aspect of OAI's models that they're outdated about themselves.

o3 w Search is dope and I love Deep Research, but o1-pro is still the GOAT.

Thanks for screaming into the void on behalf of the rest of us suffering from the same issues. 🫡

I don't know who at Apple needs to hear this but you fucked up the Airpod Pro notifications readout so badly that it's making an amazing product less useful. I haven't seen some obvious way to bug report/feature request so here's a public gripe with specifics. DM me if someone there cares:

NEW! The boys are back with a fresh Three Buddy Problem episode headlined by a Coinbase breach with bribes, rogue contractors, $2m ransom demands and consumer cryptocurrency theft. @craiu.bsky.social @jags.bsky.social Available on all platforms! securityconversations.com/episode/a-co...

Where's are the Bell Labs or Institute for Advanced Study of the early 21stC?
