A 90s band arguably putting out a crowdsourced hit via the socials on a rando for firing improvised pyro at the groundlings is both maximally Gen-X and entirely the cyberpunk dystopia we expected.

We have known that AI interactions with the psychotic were going to create unforeseen problems since 1984. It is however once again the surprise of the general public finding out that makes it a discovery of some new thing.

We just shipped the first VS Code extension built specifically for @Solana developers. Static analysis detectors that catch vulnerabilities in the IDE + fuzzing coverage visualization. The missing layer between development and audits, integrated into devs' workflow ↓

If language model prompts do map to unique hidden states as if structurally lossless, achieving perfect forward secrecy in promoting (or at least a reasonable approximation thereof) suddenly becomes a very valuable solution set, the pursuit of which seems almost certain to

As always it remains a honour to serve my country, at home in the United States and abroad. And always a pleasure to have the chance to speak with old allies and steadfast partners in these hard things that we do, safeguarding a free ‘net for free peoples

A medical research paper non ironically discussing “low levels of cybersickness”. Chat, I regret to inform you that never having diagnosed my own level, one fears what one would see in clinical results from whatever test protocol might be employed for purpose.

It appears some quarters are hell bent on testing the proposition that markets for violence can remain irrational longer than the state structures that ensure they are not the sole dispute resolution mechanism remain politically & economically solvent. Non ideal outcomes along

The real Roko’s Basilisk will not be the tool of some emergent super AI, but the repression instrument of the broken foundational model built by Communists chasing the illusion that they can solve the central planning problem through some technology magic, except innovating only

If one prices bug bounties at below market rates then one should be unsurprised that disclosure takes on strange characteristics, as the hidden hand of market asserts itself. All the more true for especially desirable portfolios

The simple acknowledgement that there are frontier cybersecurity problems, that will remain hard and will require changing solutions as adversary behavior innovates towards new threats, is refreshing when presented in AI discussions simply because it is a truth that has been

The gulf between stalled, repetitive cyber policy discourse in the same tired old channels vice what transpires at the cutting edge of exploitation and effects is as vast as the disconnects between those play acting the old fictions of the Concert of Europe whilst staring into

Somehow one does not believe the Quai will be impressed by the investigators earnest assertions that secure by design architecture reduced adversary dwell time on objective.

Advertisement for some absurd duty free pseudo luxury industry product, with an oddly industrial name. “Say, wasn’t that the weaponized toxin used in those anticommunist killings overseas back in the 80s?” Sale definitively not made.

It is not that the historical aberration of the Long Peace (at the highest end of state conflict) had to end because of some hitherto unknown inevitable force, but rather it was the ending of the multilateralist illusion that the period was anything other than the Pax Americana.

BLUF: Theatre kids (& the LLMs they build) can likely achieve short term relative gains over other players in the Great Game by focusing on optics over objective truth, but the correction to hard realities will be brutal.

The idea that deception is an inevitable emergent behavior of competition in attention economies will at first impression pose intense concern for intelligence tasks. But this ignores that reality supplies its own correctives when events do not conform to their narrative

In 2025 we are apparently only ever one publicly reported telepathic warning away from popular discourse straight out of the men who stare at goats era. What carrier tone is playing this time around?

Becoming a casual observer to morning debates on theoretical limiting conditions for elliptic curves in variant manifold topologies reminds one of the vast gulf between application and policy in the hard problems of cyber operations.

If you are not seeing humanoid & dog form robotics training for model development and teaming doctrine experimentation at every infantry school, field exercise, logistics evolution, and OT&E event for other developmental technologies, then you are almost certainly not seeing the

Recasting fabrications as “fluid” is not some new professional theory or even a novel heresy of intelligence, but rather the oldest excuse of the failed ops officer.
