If you're in Vegas, find someone with a car and just take a few hours out of the city. This is about 20 minutes away from the Strip #HackerSummerCamp #DefCon34 #BSidesLV

Welp, it's started. 2 Goons, 1 Bowl. #DEFCON34 #GoldenTiki

Hey Hacker Fam, as of this week, I'm officially fully on the job market. If you're looking for a cloud / identity / data security player-coach whose primary goal is to "unfuck the Internet", I'll be at Summer Camp all week. Let's grab a coffee or beer.

This flight is the most delightful mix of hackers and Trekkies.

So, wait: the companies that want to own all your data, refuse to acknowledge copyright, won't disclose any info regarding how they process and use your data, have fought regulation and oversight, and won't support privacy transparency are *checks notes* warning about "dystopian" AI? Uh huh.

OpenAI and Anthropic executives are sounding the alarm about the rise of cheap AI, particularly powerful new models produced in China, suggesting they will lead to a “dystopian” AI future and present unacceptable security risks without regulation.

So there's this apparently little-known thing in software development called "input validation" where if the data entered must be in the format of 1234ABC, then "34DTM" would not be allowed because "3403DTM" was the actual plate. Just sayin'. footnote4a.org/news/drive-m...

Yay for ATL DOT and yay for MotorBiscuit, a car-centric magazine, for highlighting the actual truth: motorists wouldn't be grinding rails on the lane dividers if they were actually paying attention to the road. CDOT, can we get these, too? www.motorbiscuit.com/atlantas-new...

As a result, I apparently did *not* actually pay William Gibson for his editorial regarding the dangers of quantum technology in cat care for this month's Cat Princess magazine. My apologies to our three readers.

For some reason, whether it was me fucking up or this place, but that permanent top post I’ve had for quite a while now, warning of scammers pretending to be me offering editorial service etc, has also vanished

Marsha. Fortune cookies are Japanese. When America thought it would be a great idea to put Japanese-Americans in concentration camps during WWII, Chinese businesses took over the fortune cookie operations and included them with Chinese meals.
