I just wanna go slow, sit still, and come undone.

Everybody wants to be a warrior,
nobody wants to be a nurse.

Move slow and make things.

That whole #JADEPUFFER feels like someone pointed a LLM based CTF toolkit against a (claimed) live target running an old unpatched langflow.

It's attacks were regurgitated stuff; like snippets from CTF and PoC writeups, down to the variables used.

The "ransomware" part is what I'll dub cyber-LARPing, where it destroyed MYSQL content by encrypting it with a random key, didn't store the key, didn't exfil any data, and dropped a bitcoin address in the ransomware note straight out of documentation.

I have no idea what to make of it, except I'm not at all surprised a cyber security company that has fully redPilled AI, creates hype around an LLM "autonomously" attacking a broken vibe-coded AI Agent deployment framework. But kudos for the "Agentic Threat Actor/ ATA" acronym.

May I suggest my own acronym for this? #TARP: Threat Actor Role Playing.

TLDR: It all feels... fake. But maybe the future of cyber attacks is LLMs destroying even more of the internet playing pretend?

@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... "It's not what you know, it's who you know".

The platform might be 4 months old, but these people have been networking their way into power for way longer.

Lars Ingmar Stensson Rentzhog has had https://app.wedonthavetime.org/ since 2017.

To quote (auto-translated):

Ingmar Rentzhog is a Swedish business leader and environmental activist, known as founder and CEO of We Don't Have Time, a platform that focuses on climate change. He has been described as an "official eco warrior" by The Sun and compared to Mark Zuckerberg by FranceTV2.
Ingmar [...] has a background as a financial advisor, PR consultant and entrepreneur.

Pekka Henrik Hedqvist
Mats Anders Pellbäck Scharp

I made an offhand remark on here recently about how people reading meaning into LLM output was like people seeing faces in things (TIL: a specific type of pareidolia).

And now I’m reading up on things like apophenia, Rorschach tests, Type I errors, schizophrenia, and apophany vs epiphany.

This is too close a fit to the LLM hype for me to be “haha, whatever, next” stuff. Also, labels like “AI Psychosis” maybe are too close for comfort. 😬

Anyway, no real hypothesis yet, just “meaning gets assigned by humans, and genAI is fucking with that, and we seem particularly vulnerable to this type of hijacked pattern recognition.”

https://nos.nl/artikel/2617230-strengere-overnameregels-digid-onze-gegevens-niet-in-handen-andere-landen

Het artikel heeft het over "Aanbestedingsregels van Defensie".

Ik gok dat ze deze wet bedoelen:Aanbestedingswet op defensie- en veiligheidsgebied

https://wetten.overheid.nl/BWBR0032898/2019-04-18/0

Daar staat:

Artikel 1.7
Een aanbestedende dienst of een speciale-sectorbedrijf kan ondernemers die niet binnen de Europese Unie gevestigd zijn van deelname aan een aanbestedingsprocedure uitsluiten, tenzij dit niet is toegestaan op grond van een voor Nederland verbindend verdrag of besluit.

En dat geldt voor:

Artikel 2.1
1 Het bepaalde bij of krachtens deze wet is van toepassing op het plaatsen van opdrachten voor:
d. werken en diensten specifiek voor militaire doeleinden, of gevoelige werken of gevoelige diensten.

Ik ben geen jurist of parlementariër, maar klinkt als een strak plan.

Maar eh, als dit gewoon kan, waarom dit niet al meteen gedaan? En waarom niet nu ook al voor bijvoorbeeld Palantir etc.?

Calling the current heatwaves “nice weather” is like calling an airplane crash a “thrilling ride”.

Frame it how you want it, lots of us are going to die.
