Imagine staying in a hotel with a mini bar that has a combination lock on it. It’s only 4 digits! You keep guessing every day but you just cannot unlock it. Then, one day, you realize the door isn’t even locked. You don’t need a combination. You just need to shake the door.

I don't know Mick Foley personally, nor do I know why decided to take a stand against his employer, with or without several of his colleagues. If you watch documentaries & interviews, Mick seems extremely genuine, empathetic, & kind to others. And I support that.

Why guess when you can know?

* this is a joke. Or at least it is supposed to be.

Agentic AI is getting so advanced that eventually it will be able to predict when it is breached and by whom, even before a threat actor has begun doing so. ... and then we can just let the AI pwn itself and save all of us the trouble* of being in the middle.

Ok so now let's ask some frontier model large language models for their take on the meaning of this song. ChatGPT:

Sleigh the season with the most personal gift around. Get them a Cameo video!

.. But the song is not about that. At least, it's not ONLY about that. See if you can see what else it is saying. Here it is again:

to "cancel" her in the country music scene. In this song she addresses that, but says even though they complain and threaten, they still show up to hear her sing. And I liked that.

When I first heard this song, I thought it was about her recent controversies and 'cancellation'. You seem Maren is an ourspoken advocate for LGBTQ+ human rights, BLM, and immigrant rights. And the country music scene isn't. So I assumed she was singing about MAGA folks...

One of my favorite songs is paradoxically about two opposite concepts and I am curious which one of the themes you will pick up first. Don't use AI to answer; we'll do that later.Using just your own ears, yes, and brain... What do you think this song is about? Why? (thread)

When my daughter was maybe 2 yrs old, she'd jump into our bed with a huge grin on her face & a diaper holding ~7 liters of urine. The diaper squished outrageous threats to flood us all, along w/ a Target comforter we knew we couldn't afford to replace. God, I miss those days.

Grok 4.1 thinks that I may have "peaked" sometime in March of 2024. Upon further investigation, I think Grok might be right.

I 'm only currently scheduled to be on 3 podcasts in 2026, so I could easily schedule a few more. Any suggestions? It doesn't necessarily have to be about hacking or AI. P.S. It's totally OK to nominate your own podcast, as long as you are doing so in good faith.

You are never going to be exactly the person you want to be. And that's okay. Your job, if you choose to accept it, is to be better and to encourage others to be better. It really is that simple. Really.

P.S.: I am still not going to unblock you or "let you back in", though. I might be kind, but I am not stupid.

At least two people stole from me during the calendar year 2025. One of the cases was monetary, & the other was much more valuable and sentimental. If you are one of these two people, I forgive you. I don't need an apology; not even a private one. I simply forgive you.
