    That time I met Felix while working at Co-op Group. I got reported to mgmt by the Cyber Intelligence manager there for posting this image on social media, as they said it gave away our badge design. Our badge design was an off the shelf badge system. I responded with images of our senior leadership team wearing the badges on social media. Never heard back. 🤣

    RE: https://techhub.social/@Techmeme/117041512465545105 By using Reddit as a trusted source for AI search answers (the default experience), Google has effectively outsourced itself to unpaid Reddit moderators. Also worth point out - anybody can become a mod on Reddit and open a subreddit. If you wanna influence opinion like a nation state, Reddit&#39;s the door now.

    RE: https://techhub.social/@Techmeme/117038982315909154 I’ll be honest - the water hack story in the US is so dumb. Many of the organisations don’t even know if they were hacked.. claims spreading like wildfire when nobody even knows what they’re dealing with. They have two IT people. They have PLCs on 4G dongles with no passwords. It’s under resourced and crap. Don’t be worried about Iran, be worried about lack of regulation and central support.

    I just priced up my gaming PC, it&#39;s by far the most expensive thing I own now. I could sell it and have a deposit for a large house. Insane times.

    I dunno how many people remember a few months ago when OpenAI made media headlines everywhere for launching Atlas, their AI agent browser... which was going to revolutionise how we use technology and rival Google. Anyway, neither do OpenAI as they abandoned it and deleted the downloads.

    The ExfilSquad portal listings are real, they gained access to companies Microsoft Dynamics 365 environments (including Microsoft itself). Cause is poor security posture of victim orgs.

    Sense check for people working in cybersecurity in operations roles in the trenches: I’m not finding or seeing cyber incidents off the back of Generative AI still. Are you? Not ones you’ve read about online - I mean ones you’ve actually dealt with.

    Count down to cease and desist takedown on this one.. Somebody has reviewed NVIDIA’s RTX Spark in Microsoft’s Surface Laptop Ultra after a month, because they found an abandoned unit near Microsoft’s office. They found it lacking. https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/i%E2%80%99ve-spent-a-month-with-nvidia%E2%80%99s-rtx-spark-in-microsoft%E2%80%99s-surface-laptop-ultra.351087/

    Elon Musk, an immigrant, was interviewed recently by the editor of the Economist. He said a bunch of dumb shit - for example that money wouldn’t exist in 2036, and that everybody wouldn’t have to work any more as AI would do their job for them. Anyway, he’s now essentially calling for the assassination of the journalist over her questions about immigration.
