I continue to eagerly await direct neural interfaces. But am saddened that as elective surgery items they will almost certainly be prohibited from entry into secure government facilities, let alone used on network there. And one shudders to think of the consequences to already.

Since apparently a new cohort has found the story, given fresh console ports or something.

The most cynical possible interpretation of the CR Projekt Red cyberpunk narrative is that it is really a story about a wirehead addict with a broken Effinger moddie chip, sowing havoc whilst somehow careening through others’ real & serious ops. Which explains the fixation on a.

The BLS politicized data manipulation problems are precisely why proposals for a Bureau of Cybersecurity Statistics had almost no support. Entirely new analytic pathologies would likely have emerged, alongside all the old ones playing out in new ways.

One may say many things about the unfolding Pacific disaster, but the quality of warning delivered on the basis of hard sensor data made widely and immediately available is superb. Even at risk of misinterpretation by nonspecialist audiences, and the endless spamming clickbait.

On short adoption horizon, as exponential scaling of direct neural interface is just about to hit hard takeoff. But generation gaps will almost certainly be real for elective cranial surgery.

TFW one sees the combination of facial tattoos and headset microphone that makes one think a cyberpunk trode set hit this timeline early.

Seeing the destruction of chain hotel building just outside Georgetown, one is reminded just how much of intelligence work evolved as an accident of history. With path dependence built on unique sensitivity to initial conditions, some measure of institutional memory (or at least.

A new border war which proves precisely why all those endless JPME wargaming cycles playing out just about every possible militarized conflict dyad are entirely necessary to the further development of officers facing not only unknown futures, but what are guaranteed to be far.

The PDB (or any other finished intelligence) is not a palimpsest, to be rewritten to please. It is intended to be a vehicle for communicating best, objective view of current intentions, capabilities, and developments to the consumer. Breaking the decades long presumption that.

Given that I write the word adversary too many times in a week, I move to revive the term feondscipe to describe iterated hostile dyadic interactions. Further opening conceptual space to better describe intensification dynamics, instead of the default misuse of escalation.

Old English had a word for the opposite of a friendship: fēondsċipe, or ‘enemy-ship’. If the word survived, it would be ‘fiendship’, but since it went extinct, we have to translate it vaguely as ‘hostility’, ‘rivalry’, or ‘feud’.

Given the pace and intensity of ongoing engagements on the wire, it sure would have been nice had cyber conflict studies scholarship not apparently near fully collapsed. Cyberwar is not a myth, and no more opaque than other (thus far) small wars, but somehow seems uniquely to.

Folks out there complaining about militarized cyberspace when even the earliest Disney representations (1982) were in a story basically about a dev daydreaming about AI enabled cyber range testing of Strategic Air Command software. Cyberwar has always been with us, since the

I am once again reminded of @daveaitel comments on the limits of human cognitive buffers for reading, by averages. But I would argue that we have not endured the weight of centuries to allow all around us to corrode to something so diminished that we become unrecognizable.

Never having read anything of note - by virtue of the failings of even their expensive credentialed educations - the cohort that has most readily embraced AI as the means by which they need not exert themselves parsing complex topics nor offering reasoning beyond mere.
