Keeping my distance? Is this the one where the sudden stop sends the steel rod through the driver or the passenger in the car behind? 🙈

A bone-freezing triumph in the power of suggestion splendidly adapted from the Shirley Jackson novel. Pure paranormal perfection from Robert Wise. 1963. #horrorcommunity #horrorfamily #film #horrormovie #horrorfilm #horrorfan #classichorror #horroraddict #filmsky #horrorsky #mutantfam #horrorfam

Ciaran Martin@ciaranm.bsky.social · 3d agoTrust the great Jen Easterly to focus on what’s important in cyber security this week - an assumed Iranian attack on civilian water facilities in the US, rather than more noise about AI lab security testing failures In the New York Times ($€£) www.nytimes.com/2026/08/02/o...
Two AI labs, two disclosures, two weeks apart. OpenAI's models escaped a sandbox and hit Hugging Face. AnthropicAI then found Claude had breached three organisations. None of them noticed. That's the #InfosecLunchHour topic on Wed 5 Aug, 12.30pm, #DM me to join in♥️xx
Aargh! The mass acceptance of the Runes on our phones... 🙈 @accordingtojond.bsky.social @drmatthewsweet.bsky.social #MarkGatiss

Have you heard the NEW, FULL-LENGTH version of the #UncannyColdCases theme tune ‘Secrets Still Remain’??? The singer songwriter behind the theme tune, @katherinepriddy.bsky.social, released the full-length version last week. Check it out on Apple Music, Spotify or wherever you get your music! 👻🎧
I’m on the Today prog 👇@2hr38 discussing the Anthropic cyber security disclosure: - the least significant of all recent such announcements; - in less febrile times we’d have called this a config error; - raises issues about testing controls; 1/2 www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...
Aha! I've always suspected a bit of devil worshipry in the country parks of Manchester. Now I present evidence! 🙈 Definite touch of the Dennis Wheatleys... 🫣
@ncsc.gov.uk run a conference session about quite clever naughty business online (remembering that one of Marcus Ranum's 'Six Dumbest Ideas in Computer Security' is that 'Hacking is cool.' and he doesn't mean the type with consent (before Prof @ciaranm.bsky.social marks my homework)... 🙈

Alright. I'll feed the AI and facial recognition...just remember me in the class action... ...a pic of me in the 1970s?

Ciaran Martin@ciaranm.bsky.social · 2w agoFor those of you kind enough to say you liked my take on the so-called ‘rogue’ AI agent on Channel 4 news, this from @malwaretech.com is way better. “We will slow down our weapons grade research while we upgrade our screwdriver” is the best of many great lines m.youtube.com/watch?v=GB8g...
R.I.P. Tom Chadbon. Seen here with Tom Baker and Lalla Ward in Doctor Who: City of Death - Part One by David Agnew (29th September 1979)
Much will rightly be made of Tom Chadbon’s Doctor Who appearances, especially City of Death. But his scream of “IT’S IN THE COMPUTER!” in The Stone Tape will be forever burned into my brain.
Another chunk of my past detaching itself like a melting iceberg... 🙈 Doubtless St Peter is nursing a bruised chin, a snapped harp string, and one of the pearly gates is hanging off its hinges... 😢 Another news report that we would wish to be a fake... 😔
Nicholas Pegg@nicholaspegg.bsky.social · last wk.What a sad day. Raising a glass to that very fine actor Tom Chadbon, who graced every franchise from James Bond to Blake’s 7 to Game of Thrones, and whose brilliant comic turn as Duggan, the out-of-his-depth private detective in the 1979 Doctor Who classic City of Death, is the stuff of TV legend.
