Another legend has crossed over. Thank you @fxv2.bsky.social for being your kind, brilliant self, whose contributions are too many to name, not just in hacking, but in being a superconnector who I now know is responsible for so many friendships & marriages. You are missed.
He did it. He started a war with Iran.
No clear goal. No clear end in sight. No legal authority whatsoever.
Call your reps and demand they immediately pass a War Powers Resolution to rein in this impulsive and dangerous military escalation.

One of the Old School hackers is gone. Jason was smart and kind, one of the good ones — not just because of his skills, but I have always regarded him fondly because he saw me as a fellow hacker at a time many of his peers could not. I will miss him.
Rest in peace, par. 🕊️
Ed is right about:
AI hype/bubble/can’t yet do what’s advertised
Ed fails to recognize: the market doesn’t give a fuck whether any of AIs promises are true - people are losing their jobs to hype
Give Ed’s annotation a read for reality checks on the facts, but don’t ignore the labor market quake

The FBI was able to access Washington Post reporter Hannah Natanson's Signal messages because she used Signal on her work laptop. The laptop accepted Touch ID for authentication, meaning the agents were allowed to require her to unlock it. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Have we reached the stage of “many AIs make all bugs shallow”?
Great writeup on AI, open source, & bug bounties by @stanislavfort.bsky.social cofounder of AISLE.
“Mass adoption collapsed the median quality (“slop” killed bug bounty..) but.. raised the ceiling”

Oh node! 😱 Low quality bug reports breaking another Open Source project. Trying to throttle the flood using a bug bounty platform reputation system & forking bug reporters with low signal score to…the OpenJS Foundation Slack?! Oh node indeed 😩
You don’t have to run for office to help shape what happens next. 👀

AI was the accelerant on a perverse incentive fire sparked by bug bounty platforms that reward spray & pray. Both open source & orgs without dedicated vuln response teams get overloaded when they offer cash there. cURL is right to leave AI shark-infested waters to start fresh.
I think there is a discussion to be had here, but it shouldn't be taken out on people who are *using* AI.
we do need to have a reckoning about how UBI gets passed and funded, with taxation of the profits of those developing these labour-replacing/augmenting models. but yelling at users doesn't help
(over a photo of protesters holding “ICE OUT” signs) ICE OUT FOR GOOD WEEKEND OF ACTION: JANUARY 10-11
We’re mobilizing across the country this weekend to honor Renee Nicole Good, demand accountability for ICE’s killing of Renee, and make visible the human cost of ICE’s terror: docs.google.com/document/d/1...
“Unbeknownst to Smith at the time, she had no right to vote… much less run for office. Though she was born in a U.S. territory, and has a U.S. passport and Social Security number, she is not a U.S. citizen.
American Samoa is the only US territory where people are born without automatic citizenship”

““UBI = a foundation…income is earned on top. A poverty-line UBI is not “the replacement paycheck for the post-work apocalypse.” .... It prevents the worst outcomes, stabilizes consumer demand, & gives ppl leverage to say no to exploitation”
TIL about robot karaoke!
The "basic" in universal basic income does not mean low. It means basic as in base. Foundational. Primary. First. Basic income is an income floor. All other income adds to it. It's basic income because it's everyone starting income.
I find your posts very hinged. Very hinged for these unhinged times.
When it comes to developing skills through underground organizations, recent geopolitical issues have also helped muddy the waters of how some professionals think about ways to earn a living, said Casey Ellis, founder at @Bugcrowd.

We’ve seen other orgs attempt 3rd party bug bounties, thinking it will help their ecosystem become safer. Inevitably, the safety of software depends more on the maturity of the org producing it than how many bugs are reported to it. Bug foie gras isn’t the safest path to maturity
When I started Microsoft Vuln Research in 2008, we found out just how few orgs were ready for vuln disclosure. When I started Microsoft’s 1st bug bounty in 2013, I never imagined it would grow to paying for 3rd party bugs. I hope the 3rd parties were warned & OSS gets tested patches supplied to them
