Ok, so who designed and developed it?

The disappearing art gallery in your post office The U.S. Postal Service is home to thousands of historic works of art in post offices nationwide. Hundreds have been lost, sold or destroyed.

In 2021, I FOIA’d the database of USPS’s New Deal art, and each work’s condition.

In 2022, records came back with a massive spreadsheet & 1,700+ historical photos.

In 2024, I wrote the first draft of this story, at home in bed with Covid.

And now, we can finally bring you the full project.

From magic to malware: How OpenClaw's agent skills become an attack surface | 1Password The same capabilities that make OpenClaw a groundbreaking tool also make it an urgent security risk. This blog contains confirmed examples of agent skills being used as malware vectors, and advice on ...

This is also related to a disgusting trend that I see which is deference to authority as such in institutions.

Except unlike in perhaps certain past environments and eras, it isn't based on mutual trust, merit, competency, or even expertise, but on who can vibe sell, grease the right people, or 💰💰

VERY important post

This is happening a lot now, with AI security and pronouncement from company policy and marketing depts about near-complete "AI-orchestrated cyber espionage campaigns"., etc.

We've taken a serious wrong turn if 'serious' policy orgs make recs and determinations based on 'vibes'

YES!

"Casual executive pronouncements are replacing formal transparency mechanisms—a dangerous regression that demands urgent attention.

Ex-Google Engineer Convicted of Stealing A.I. Secrets for Start-Up in China

Nonsense. It's not possible to steal AI technology. I know this because Google's own LLMs are built using a complete copy of my legal blog, and that's somehow not stealing because, as Google says, a complete copy of my legal blog is both trivial and utterly essential for their tech to work.
