I made the mistake of reading the financial times on a flight today from Dubrovnik to Prague. Let me share this horrifying excerpt from today's issue:

“… In my opinion, AGI will be achieved only when we have demeaned and debased human intelligence to the degree that a machine might be able to emulate what’s left.” www.linkedin.com/posts/david-...

Getting to the end of my #IETF123 Madrid experience, second to last day. These early afternoon WG discussions revolve around #IOT. One of my friends is presenting today, which I'm looking forward to today! #technology #DNS #standards #cybersecurity #ProtectiveDNS so let's see what it's all about...

And a very welcome good morning to all at #IETF123, today attending a side meeting to connect authoritative DOT/DOQ parties which is all things #DNS. As usual, the tag well... #cybersecurity #networking #technology

#IETF123 Madrid, attending INT-ADD for Adaptive #DNS Discovery. As always... #DNS #networking #technology

#IETF123 in Madrid, attending a side meeting on AI-Agent Communication Networking Use Cases and Protocols. Looking forward to attending this one, lots of overlap with what I do today! As always... let's start the tag wall #AI #cybersecurity #technology #governance

#IETF123 in Madrid, attending a side meeting, and WOW! This one is standing room only. A very highly anticipated event, this is going to be the envy of all working groups: standards definition on AI Agent Protocols for Agent 2 Agent (A2A) communications.

#IETF123 in Madrid, today tuning into a side meeting! Following the DA-ITN presentation... In this case, Telefonica researchers discuss large AI networks and datasets interoperable. Let's get that tag wall going again: #AI #networking #cybersecurity #IETF #telecommunications

#IETF123 in Madrid, today tuning into a side meeting! In this case, Huawei researchers discussing the concept of a Data Aware Inference and Training Networks (DA-ITN). My (extremely naive / uninformed opinion) is this system essentially allows for ISPs to become shipping companies.

Sitting in on @ietf-wg-dnsop.bsky.social at #IETF123 in Madrid, more to follow in the thread on learnings today!

#IETF123 Day 1! I'm sitting in on the #INT-DELEG working group (WG) specifically focusing on DNS delegation. Firstly, the learning curve is quite high! There are some big names here, people with a handful of decades of maintainer-level technical knowledge and TLD/root server operations. Wow!

#IETF123 Madrid thread, ideas rambling and the rest

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?

#NANOG94 security track talks are intriguing ORBs, residential proxies, and all the fun ways customers are ‘leasing’ their networks under the watchful eyes of operators Adding a thread of statements and thoughts here

Truly unbelievable how great #Expedition33 is. So grateful this game exists, and totally depressed to travel through work while trying to beat it

So I’m sitting here thinking about all my previous demented writings about compliance, vulnerabilities, and #cybersecurity Without going full Tumblr mode, I started putting two thoughts together:

Folks i made an epic joke at work and NOBODY cared One of the technologies we focus on allows for a modular like build where you can slot and remove nodes at any time My colleague mentioned the boot up time on some of the nodes on upgrade is slower than init, so its easier to just delete and add

The office today…

Email went all the way up to the wrong SVP. Not my fault, but I had to explain why. “I don't know what I am approving or why I am on this thread.” Classic. I'm catching buses today 😂😞
