Everyone wants to be the boogeyman until it’s time to do boogeyman shit.
@DarioAmodei BEGGING for government intervention makes this so much funnier. Also the fact that they had to cut off their domestic users when the restriction only applies to foreign. Was @AnthropicAI really not prepared to separate accounts after all the regulatory begging?

Probably shouldn’t have hyped the hype machine of world catastrophe which mythos is not.

lmao. I love when people try to phish my accounts. If they are good, I’ll engage to see what skills/tricks they have.
Today I let it go on until they were about to give up. Then told them to look me up & they were like “Oh shit!” & we had a fun conversation that could have easily flowed into an old @thugcrowd episode.
Nice work to the kids who have a path that works even on accounts with Google’s Advanced Security. Sorry for making you burn all your infra but I was having fun seeing how much you’d give me. 😂
Great use of AI tooling exactly where targets would expect to encounter AI and then dropping to a polished high-touch human handoff for the kill when needed.

Nick Shirley is modern day Inspector Clouseau.
Dude misinterprets everything he sees but sometimes stumble on legit discoveries because the places he looks are fish-in-a-barrel level saturated with problems. (Which makes it so much more shameful for the govts)
Here, he misinterprets a well known placeholder date, and can’t imagine an 86yo voting in 51 fed & local elections over their life.

🚨 Meet Doris, she lives in California and is registered as a 126 year old who has voted in 51 elections and has NO IDEA.
California’s voting system is so corrupt that by simply knocking on the door of the “126 year old” proves election fraud.
EXPOSE IT ALL.

1 - Make everyone think you are clumsy.
2 - Slowly escalate the “accidental” violence.
3 - The human’s won’t realize you are breaking Asimov’s laws until it’s too late.
This is the 2nd video I’ve seen of robots taking out a kid 😂

I can’t help but notice that the “Rent > Own” thing usually comes from people who don’t have kids and don’t know how to use a hammer. Those 2 things change the value of a permanent location that you can modify/repair.
Yes, if ALL you care about is maximizing $, renting can be better in a lot of market conditions. And most people dramatically overestimate the investment value of a house. But a little diversity in the people talking about this would be amazing. People like Ramit Sethi are waaaay worse about this than Caleb Hammer.
What’s the value of:
- keeping your kids in the same school district
- maintaining school & neighborhood friendships
- keeping the same routines
- not worrying about a landlord selling the property & being asked to leave
- being able to build a workshop in the backyard for a home business
- plant fruit trees for the kids
- build a playset for the kids
- run copper through the walls for a security system that can’t be knocked offline with a $50 AliExpress device
- the flexibility to cut your house repair costs by 80% because you have DIY skills
- the flexibility to pick up a much wider range of hobbies
etc etc

Watching Caleb Hammer on Joe Rogan and he suggested renting investing 10% in S&P500 is better than home ownership in terms of growing your net worth.
Ran it though an AI and it agreed estimating $200k-$2m

The little one was curious but hesitant… then she landed the first 10 shots she’s ever taken. 1.5-2.5” steel plates at 30 yards… not bad for a smooth bore BB gun.
All I did was talk her through lining it up, slowing her body down, etc. Then she just locked in without any guidance. I think we will have to find some local classes & competitions. I didn’t expect it to come so naturally!
He’s been begging to shoot the Sig gifted to me from @ShawnRyan762. We’ve been working up to it for him.
It makes me realize how few opportunities kids have to just slow down & focus without constant stimulation.

Holy cringe. I’m not the president, nor someone who came from the entertainment space. But if I were planning an event for USA’s 250th:
Biggest air show in history, & over the White House.
Fleet show in NY harbor.
Music provided by the many bands in every mil branch.
Citizen endurance challenge with “The Discombobulator”
I dunno, what else could we add?

Prior to 9/11, it was very common for people to carry a submachine gun to work, as seen here with the MAC 10.
Notorious NYC rapper, Biggie Smalls, even mentions it as part of a job promotion:
“I used to have the tre deuce & the deuce deuce in my bubblegoose. Now I got the MAC in my knapsack”

Nah. This is what every finance nerd and stock trader did. You pack your lunch and your submachine gun. Companies would gift golden plated ones to employees for significant milestones.
Here is an office worker casually holding one while ordering at McDonalds.

To be clear, those were law enforcement guns recovered from the rubble. There were numerous law enforcement agencies located within the WTC complex (e.g., USCS, USSS). Also, that is likely an Uzi not a MAC-10.

Stuxnet slowed Iran’s nuclear enrichment via sabotage.
Fast16 seems the same but for nuclear weapons simulations. AI helped discover this.
Both were deployed ~20 years ago. @KimZetter has a great write up connecting Stuxnet & Fast16.
May 16
Exclusive: Fast16 malware has raised questions about what it was designed to do. Researchers at @symantec finally confirm that it was subverting software used to simulate nuclear weapons explosions. Nuclear experts tell me Iran was the likely target zetter-zeroday.com/experts-c…

There is also a great timeline by @KimZetter that gives me pause.
Iran has been serious about their nuke program for 30 years. It’s been getting slowed while diplomacy is attempted for 20 years. 🤔
The Fast16 discovery implies nuke detonation was being modeled in secret for at least 20 years. “Iran only wants threshold capability” becomes much harder to believe.

I have no doubts this involves Iran, specially if there's a connection to stuxnet

Kids do this kind of work for free all day in Roblox. Just figure out how to filter out the ones setting everything on fire. We can finally get the children back in the warehouses, factories, & mines. Eventually Ender’s Game can be real!
Also, my Tesla does the same thing half the time a lane forks & it struggles to decide which one to go in. (especially v14.3) I’m certainly not thinking it’s teleoperated 😂

by the way
i will say this
to all the telop memers
teleoperation is fine
it's literally cheaper to hire an indian in a bombay call center than to run the inference for this on GPUs

Ok that’s pretty cool. This is ultimately the use of multi-sensor input to handle atypical collisions.
Modern airbag systems prevent your airbags going off when you hit big potholes, train tracks, etc. It does this by constantly monitoring sensors. Think of watching accelerometer input. Just a little line plotting the g-force change over time. Hitting a brick wall head on is going to be the easiest thing to “see” with those sensors. But put some deformable objects in front of the wall, change the wall to a trailer that’s 2ft off the floor, or hit it with only the edge of your bumper… now it starts getting complicated. Complicated means the computer spends more time watching the input before it’s confident enough to fire the airbags. The more complicated collisions can result in airbags firing too late.
Add Vision as an EXTRA input. Vision says “Hey this looks like a crash that will require airbags!” before any other sensors even start to show change. Then the airbag computer waits for the other sensors. Now the computer doesn’t have to wait the extra tens of milliseconds to be confident in what the accelerometers are seeing in the really difficult scenarios.
Tesla Vision allows us to deploy airbags up to 70 milliseconds earlier if your Tesla detects an unavoidable collision
This can be the difference between serious injury & walking away from a crash

The way the marketing was presented gave me a moment of concern that Tesla Vision was independently triggering airbags. Then I realized that wouldn’t fly with NHTSA. Then I wanted to understand how it actually works but Tesla only offers “deploy up to 70ms earlier” and “Vision cannot deploy airbags by itself”.
So the above post is only my assumptions. As always, others who know better are welcome to add!

Should I make a v2 of this video? It’s been a while now, but I have some terrible ideas.
I was driving through Oakland and got inspired by the copper thieves.
Many people think surface mount soldering is hard. Here is a secret: it isn’t.
I used some totally random supplies from grandma’s kitchen drawers to assemble a DemonSeed build kit (x.com/_mg_/status/1152304009…) as a demo. Didn’t even need electricity.

“tech debt liquidity crisis” seems like perfect framing of the LLM driven vuln discovery everyone is stressing over.
This isn’t the first time tech debt has rapidly come due. Y2K bug, SQLi, Heartbleed, Log4Shell, etc. But all of those had comparatively narrow paths to remediation, which plays well with the reactive whack-a-mole culture prevalent in much of InfoSec. But proactive systemic change is a struggle for InfoSec in most companies.
The last tech debt liquidity crisis that didn’t have a simple path to remediation, that I can think of, is from about ~35 years ago. When the internet suddenly became open for commercial use. And you had a whole security industry born from this. Firewalls, IDS, etc. Maybe more recent examples like Spam or Software Supply Chain could apply.
“tech debt liquidity crisis” conveniently speaks the language of VP & C-suite. Every defender should be leveraging this to get funding for defense initiatives they have been documenting for years. You have been documenting them for years… right!?! :)
Anyway, I’ve been out of corp InfoSec for 1.5yrs, and seems I couldn’t have picked a better time. But helping drive systemic change was one of my favorite things. So I ALMOST feel like I’m missing out. Almost…
May 6
LLMs becoming good at vuln-discovery and vuln-dev is really a lot of technical debt maturing suddenly, and defenders experiencing a liquidity crunch. It's not a *solvency* crunch though, so once we get through this a lot of tech debt will be paid down (altho new might be issued)
