Really difficult to top a good Islay 🤤

The sunday scaries has nothing on the last evening of a month and a half long furlough and a message from your boss saying "be ready to go all in on AI".

C4 is so good so far! I'm also excited for the Mighty Nein season that's coming out on Amazon next month.

Kingsbury's "Matthew as Story" is a little bit dated, but still quite useful. I'd also recommend Garland's "Reading Matthew: A Literary and Theological Commentary" for anyone who hasn't come across it yet.

OMG I love this!

I've wondered when he was gonna jump on this debunked hot take that boomers have already beaten to death.

A year ago we eloped. It was the most beautiful and happiest day of my life. 🥹🥹

Baudrillard would have a FIELD DAY with this one.

Personally, while I loved BOTW it is easily the loneliest game I have ever played.

I'm really sad about not being able to make it to summer camp this year.

The Astronomer CEO's Coldplay Concert Fiasco Is Emblematic of Our Social Media Surveillance Dystopia Facial recognition and crowdsourced social media investigations are constantly being used not just on cringe CEOs, but on random people who are simply existing in public.

The gleeful doxing of someone cheating in public is bad even if they are a CEO and even if they are a Coldplay fan. It's bad because this kind of thing is happening to random people on TikTok for such crimes as "sitting silently on a plane" or "being attractive"

There are definitely times I miss living in New Orleans.

My paid leave request to go to DefCon was denied and it was my last effort to make this work.

While it's probably good for me to put that $$ toward a down payment on a house, but gonna be missing my friends local and abroad quite a lot.

McDonald’s AI Hiring Bot Exposed Millions of Applicants’ Data to Hackers Who Tried the Password ‘123456’ Basic security flaws left the personal info of tens of millions of McDonald’s job-seekers vulnerable on the “McHire” site built by AI software firm Paradox.ai.

“I just thought it was pretty uniquely dystopian compared to a normal hiring process, right?" the security researcher told WIRED. “So I started applying for a job, and then after 30 minutes, we had full access to virtually every application that's ever been made to McDonald's going back years.”

I'll take the AI slop over memes like Jesus arm wrestling Satan as a way of making the viewer choose which side they're on 😂

Cloudflare Is Blocking AI Crawlers by Default The age of the AI scraping free-for-all may be coming to an end. At least if Cloudflare gets its way.

The age of the AI scraping free-for-all may be coming to an end—at least if Cloudflare gets its way. The IT infrastructure firm has switched to blocking AI crawlers by default for its customers and is moving forward with a Pay Per Crawl program.

Like, a whole ass chair?

Do. Not. Disturb.

I have never been this jealous of a bear before.

Democratic Leaders Stand Real Still In Hopes No One Notices Them WASHINGTON—With the elected officials trying their hardest not to move a muscle, reports confirmed Monday that top Democratic leaders in Congress were standing real still in hopes that the American people wouldn’t notice them. “Don’t make any sudden movements, or they’ll spot us,” Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) said out of the corner of his mouth, […]

Edward Snowden were a key inflection point. They exposed the scale of U.S. surveillance and revealed China's own cyber vulnerabilities, catalyzing a national reassessment of cybersecurity priorities. "The Snowden files were a really big deal for us," said retired PLA colonel Lyu Jinghua. Xfocus members and Knownsec founders Zhao Wei（赵伟，icbm） and Yang Jilong（杨冀 te, watercloud) echoed that view. According to Zhao, the Snowden revelations confirmed China's worst fears: US intelligence operated in "God Mode," with near-limitless access to private communications. "We have Snowden to thank," Yang noted in 2016. "His revelations made China increasingly aware of its gap with the rest of the world." In 2014, President Xi Jinping elevated cybersecurity to a national strategic priority, calling for China to become a "cyber powerhouse." The private sector quickly

Amazing.

I'm just glad one of these men has the nuclear codes and the other has all our personal data.

OPM seeks fast-track removal of federal employees for ‘suitability’ reasons in proposed rule MSPB would have limited jurisdiction to hear appeals from federal employees who are removed from their jobs under OPM’s updated suitability standard.

My boss says I'm paranoid, but it is really only a matter of time before disloyalty to the administration violates their "suitability and fitness standards".
