I wrote a post about how security undervalues preventing problems, and how this can be exasperated by AI and the vulnpocalypse, even though AI should actually make robustness much easier for defenders

And also the CollegeWorks Painting playbook?

First ever fintech to think, "what if we ran the Hooters playbook?"

This is actually because they fear Roko's Basilisk. The next Mass Effect was based on the Red Ending of ME3, where artificial intelligence is destroyed.

You've gotta patch your dependencies super fast because they're full of vulns (PHP, Node, eMudhra, etc), but not _too_ fast because they're full of backdoors (LiteLLM). Good luck!

How do you even generate an RSA key with d=4, I ask, not wanting to be told the answer.

Claude and @avhwl also found that Skipjack cipher's s-box is generated by srand48(48571) plus some swaps.

I saw the new Facebook movie yesterday, and while it was an enjoyable Sorkin film, it was nowhere near his best work, and it's unclear who this movie is for or what lesson they're trying to get the viewer to take away.

It both stands for nothing (except for maybe Facebook did J6?) yet will be disliked by liberals, conservatives, MAGA, and Facebook themselves.

Ok Matthew you dont believe David’s empiricism. How about a renowned mathematician? people.csail.mit.edu/virgi/t… David’s “search razor” is a totally plausible theory of success and it lines up with both what we have done and what actual math people think.

It's crazy that there's a tool out there that's become vital to they way I do my job, parent my kids, and make major life decisions; and yet we barely spend more on it than AI

TIL that global spending on alcohol is still larger than AI infrastructure spending this year ($1.7T vs $1.5T)

None of these guests would pass the Bush-Gore "candidate I'd like to have a beer with" test. The first CEO to go on Cheeky Pint and delete ten beers will be elected president.

Introducing The Cheeky Pint Benchmark. We made our intern watch every episode of Cheeky Pint to bring you this breakdown of pints drank by guests to the nearest sixth. Congratulations to @elonmusk who is currently in the lead with three full pints of Guinness.

I spent a week's worth of ChatGPT Pro quota on breaking RSA and I was not able to improve on L(1/3).
