Got a chance to review the OpenAI / Huggingface technical report. Aside from the report details the real question is how are automated threat actors going to be referred to by the CTI industry? I’m proposing penguins for the crowdstrike animal, and Supercell for the Microsoft Weather effect

It’s not a viable market product in a market where big tech platforms control distribution and tip the scales towards an endless supply of teenagers working free.
Every media company should be chasing the open social web to break that control wide open and reshape the market

High-quality journalism is not a viable market product. If you want consistent high-quality journalism, you need some kind of subsidy.
ANY billionaire could set up the WaPo as a high-quality journalism outlet, accept that it's not going to make money, & simply subsidize it. Nothing stopping them.

This is going to be the quintessential legal struggle of the so called “agentic” ai wave I think.
NEW: Google’s “Auto Browse” AI tool includes a warning that attributes responsibility to users for the bot’s actions.
“Use Gemini carefully and take control if needed,” reads a disclaimer on the demo version. “You are responsible for Gemini’s actions during tasks.”

Respect for Kelsey for taking a firm stand.
Another developer happily took part in this same crypto project: collected these “fees.”
Now their name is dragged across social media after “their” coin (one named after them) collapsed overnight and made lots of people lost lots of money and are angry

I did not create this memecoin nor do I endorse any memecoins.
This technology is being used to automate pump and dump schemes. The "community" is recruiting "investors" and co-conspirators with upfront payments and the promise of future gains by collectively exploiting each other.

It seems the crypto community has found a new way to extract money from people. They are creating tokens for popular open source projects and inviting maintainers to get in on the scheme.
Here is the email I got earlier today.

This thread does a better job of capturing why the cloud isn’t merely “renting a bunch of servers” than anything else I’ve seen recently.
📣THREAD: It’s surprising to me that so many people were surprised to learn that Signal runs partly on AWS (something we can do because we use encryption to make sure no one but you–not AWS, not Signal, not anyone–can access your comms).
It’s also concerning. 1/

PSA: we're aware that Signal is down for some people. This appears to be related to a major AWS outage. Stand by.
