Thousands of investors bought $SPCE this morning thinking it was $SPCX (SpaceX). They are now down nearly 30% after realizing they bought the wrong stock.

Cut the crap. Literally, cut the unnecessary distractions out of your life—delete apps, unfriend and unfollow toxic people, stop committing to activities you don't care about. Life is too short.

"Vamos ganhar todas as taças, onde vamos guardá-las???" O pequeno Braydon fez a pergunta a Pep Guardiola há dez anos. E eles se reencontraram para a resposta final.

I think AI coding hype follows roughly four stages: 1. Amazement You try it and can’t believe how much code it generates from a few prompts. 2. Expansion You start more and more projects because shipping suddenly feels cheap and fast. This is also the phase where people start convincing everyone around them: - coworkers - management - friends in other companies because nobody wants to “fall behind” in 6–12 months. That creates a massive snowball/FOMO effect. 3. The grind phase You realize the generated code has architectural issues, sloppy mistakes, weird abstractions, duplicated logic, broken edge cases, etc. So you start: - re-prompting - switching models - increasing reasoning effort - reviewing fixes - generating fixes for previous fixes And suddenly you spend your days reviewing AI-generated pull requests instead of building software. 4. Realization You realize AI coding increases output much faster than it increases certainty. The code still needs: - review - testing - ownership - architectural understanding - long-term maintenance Usually by expensive senior engineers. And the interesting thing is: this whole cycle can take many months or even more than a year because people become socially and professionally invested in the narrative themselves. Once teams, managers, and entire companies have been convinced that this is the future, it becomes psychologically and politically very hard to later say: “Actually, the ROI is much lower than we expected.”
This is what we've been seeing with every company we work with. Try justifying spending 100k on token spend when only 18k even makes it to a stable prod feature. In the rush to maximize AI token spend, companies are wasting over 44% on bug fixes

New #KQL query added for PIM security alerts. PIM security alerts can be used to identify policy violation/change. The alerts focus on identity governance, but can be a useful enrichment for your security team. github.com/Bert-JanP/Hunting…

I have a funny idea. Add fake internal DNS entries like: - honeypot01 - canarydc - edr-test-node - malwarelab to your AD environment. Not for humans, but for future LLM-driven recon agents. Basically: We're entering an era where naming things might become a defensive control 🙂
Replying to @cyb3rops
Did some similar work with reverse engineering binaries with LLMs and realized the same thing — bad things embedded in nice names just cause it to ignore the finding. So wrap your ransomware code in “Ransomware Simulation” strings and you’re off to the races.

AI is not for you
Google CEO tries to tell University students to love AI. They tell him to BOO off. This is what most people think of the hated AI, we don't want it.
