Replying to @hikari@social.noyu.me
@hikari@social.noyu.me The knowledge is there still, compressed into multidimensional vector trees. The last 30 years all the knowledge workers were pontificating how HUMAN KNOWLEDGE grows at such a geometric rate that no one can keep up. Before #Ai came, #researchers stopped reading papers, they were reading abstract only, because the volume was just too damn high. Now every arsehole with a high token budget can conduct their own #metastudy of hundreds of papers. If you want to lament how human #knowledge is changing for the worst, the action time, as usual in a case of a catastrophe, was decades earlier. #epistemology

IF you are going to do #AI, this is the way to do, it using an actually verified #knowledge base not using everything any yahoo has ever said on the #Internet. Of course it is still not #intelligence just #information retrieval. "The museum says MUSEO operates within a closed language model using only museum-approved research and exhibition materials rather than searching the open internet. Staff members regularly monitor and update the system, according to the museum." https://ottawacitizen.com/news/canadian-museum-of-history-ai-chatbot

State of (in)security - Week 30, 2026

During week 30 of 2026, cybersecurity monitoring recorded 7 advisories and 28 incidents/breaches affecting roughly 80 million individuals. The largest breach is Suno exposing 55.3 million users and AI training source code. Malware/ransomware and unauthorized access are the leading causes of incidents and healthcare and IT/software as the most-targeted industries.

Patch the actively exploited on-premises SharePoint (CVE-2026-50522), self-hosted ServiceNow, Fastjson 1.x Java apps, Oracle systems (July 2026 Critical Patch Update), and WordPress. Then update Firefox and Thunderbird and confirm your Adobe Acrobat Chrome extension is running version 26.5.2.3 or later. #cybersecurity #infosec #knowledge #weeklyreport https://beyondmachines.net/event_details/state-of-in-security-week-30-2026-w-0-e-b-i/gD2P6Ple2L

State of (in)security - Week 29, 2026

During the week of July 13–20, 2026, there were 21 security advisories (including actively exploited flaws in SharePoint, Fortinet, and SonicWall, plus Microsoft's record 570-vulnerability Patch Tuesday) and 31 incidents affecting roughly 977,000 individuals. Unauthorized access is the leading cause and healthcare by far the hardest-hit industry.

Patch these right away: Microsoft (Windows, Office, and on-premise SharePoint Server), Chrome and other Chromium browsers, Firefox, FortiSandbox, SonicWall SMA1000, self-hosted ServiceNow, Splunk Enterprise, and WordPress core. These are either actively exploited or have public exploit code. Also remove or block the vulnerable miniOrange WordPress plugin and the risky VS Code extensions (Live Server, Code Runner, Markdown Preview Enhanced), since those have no patches available yet. #cybersecurity #infosec #knowledge #weeklyreport https://beyondmachines.net/event_details/state-of-in-security-week-29-2026-s-u-m-0-m/gD2P6Ple2L

State of (in)security - Week 27, 2026

During week 27 of 2026 (June 29–July 6), cybersecurity activity rose to 17 advisories and 28 incidents affecting roughly 6.6 million people, led by the 4.38 million-record Aflac Japan breach. Unauthorized access, ransomware, and software-vulnerability exploits drive most incidents. Most impacted industries are healthcare, government, and financ. The week saw reports of exploitation of critical flaws in Oracle E-Business Suite, SharePoint, and SimpleHelp RMM, and mass patches from Adobe, Apple, Google, and others. We also see the first reported end-to-end ransomware attack executed by an AI agent (JadePuffer).

Patch your Chrome and Chromium based browsers. Iit's trivial to do: the browser updates itself when you close and reopen it, and all your tabs come back. Then focus on patching key flaws in phpBB, WebSphere, JetBrains, OpenWrt routers, Kemp LoadMaster. #cybersecurity #infosec #knowledge #weeklyreport https://beyondmachines.net/event_details/state-of-in-security-week-27-2026-u-v-8-z-8/gD2P6Ple2L

State of (in)security - Week 26, 2026

During week 26 of 2026, security teams tracked 12 advisories (including five active exploits affecting Cisco, Ubiquiti, Lantronix, PTC Windchill, and a WordPress SMTP plugin) and 20 incidents. Breaches affect roughly 16 million individuals, driven largely by KDDI's potential leak of 14 million email credentials. The incidents skew heavily toward healthcare and were caused mainly by software vulnerability exploits, malware/ransomware, phishing, and third-party/supply-chain compromises (e.g., LastPass, Polymarket, Tata Electronics).

This week's lesson is publicly accessible services. Gravity SMTP plugin for WordPress, Webmin and self hosted mail server on Synology all have critical issues. Flaws won't stop appearing, just make sure to follow them regularly. #cybersecurity #infosec #knowledge #weeklyreport https://beyondmachines.net/event_details/state-of-in-security-week-26-2026-p-v-u-2-0/gD2P6Ple2L

So we got a sodastream a bit ago, and I noticed the bottles have an expiration date. Fine with that, because they're pressurized, and exploding plastic is no good. However, I did look into it more, and you're supposed to replace them after 5 (I think, could be 3) years or 3,000 liters. Who's tracking how many liters of soda they've made in the bottle? Especially since the bottles aren't one liter?? They're 29 ounces (858ml)??? And like. This isn't an issue of the metric conversion just being weird, they sell 500ml bottles, and it's not like 29floz converts to anything specific. It's 3+5/8 cups, so not quite a quart. Either way, if anyone does want to track their sodastream bottle usage to the liter, and they have these specifically weirdly measured bottles (they're the default bottles) it's 3,496 bottles if we include the syrup, 3,571 if we don't. #Knowledge

Not knowing about something can (but not will) lead to misunderstanding, openness to manipulation, and sometimes genuine fear, eek! Knowing how something works removes the fear, be that a car, a website, democracy, disinformation, the universe, or yourself. https://blog.mikeriversdale.co.nz/2026/04/knowing-how-something-works-removes-fear.html #100Things #life #knowledge

LinkedIn Is Quietly Scanning Your Browser Every Time You Visit

Research published on browsergate.eu reports that LinkedIn silently scans visitors' Chromium-based browsers for over 6,000 installed extensions, revealing indicators of sensitive personal data like religion, health, politics, and job-search activity. The platform can easily link findings to identified user profiles, which raises serious GDPR, ePrivacy, and general privacy and legal concerns.

Switch to Firefox for LinkedIn, or use a separate Chrome profile with no extensions installed when visiting the site. And load up on all ad and script blocker extensions you can find, like Ublock Origin, Ublock Lite, Privacy Badger... #cybersecurity #infosec #knowledge #awareness https://beyondmachines.net/event_details/linkedin-is-quietly-scanning-your-browser-every-time-you-visit-m-0-k-n-h/gD2P6Ple2L
