Random InfoSec guy (mostly architecture) screaming at the world. Maybe a bit of running, politics and puns dotted in there too.

Toots set to auto-delete after 30 days (for server space and so stuff doesn't come back to haunt me years later)

I honestly don't think I've seen such a clear example of time & effort being wasted as a result of blind reliance on AI before.

Let's be clear, it probably won't take that long to fix as a lot of the work will still be applicable (as long as the implementation wasn't AI-drivel too)... but, seriously, all for the sake of not spending the time to read the actual standard?

Sat in a call where someone has just realised that their whole ISO framework that they've spent months creating is based on an incorrect list of controls that an AI tool gave them.

Apparently they never thought to purchase the actual standard and check themselves.

Is there a German word for this?

@nprofile1q... I liked the days when we were panicking about China listening in on all our telephone calls / scooping up our mobile data.

Now we just talk directly to some American company's AI and ask them to diagnose our medical problems that we're too embarrassed to see a real doctor for.

Okay. Letโ€™s try this again a year and a half later. Just because itโ€™s one of the most frustrating social media moments in my life. Can I say, โ€œthat looked kinda stagedโ€ this time without bein...

@nprofile1q... You mean that the dinner that Trump has historically avoided (after having a national sense of humour failure at one many years ago) just happened to be interrupted / he could get rushed away from...

By an "assassination attempt" - which is a well-known tactic by certain foreign actors to increase support for failing politicians prior to a notable election - which happens in a location / way that can be used as supposed-justification for one of his gaudy vanity projects?

What was on the menu for the dinner? Because something definitely smells fishy.

@nprofile1q... Wow yours uses email?

In the UK our equivalent sends out letters... except they get stuck long enough in some outbound mailroom that they generate a second one/snarky chaser letter because you didn't respond quick enough to the first.

"Ceasefires are always good news," says Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sรกnchez. But he says his government "will not applaud those who set the world ablaze just because they turn up with a bucket"

That... is a fecking great line.
