A 22-year-old ex-soldier decided hacking was more fun than his actual job. It didn't end well. #cybersecurity #hacking #infosec

Slack's new design feels like an intern was given the task, they prompted AI to "Surprise and delight them" and ran out of tokens after the surprise part.

So it’s well known that Y Combinator owns some stake in OpenAI. But how big is that stake? This seems like devilishly difficult information to obtain. I asked around and a little birdie who knows several OpenAI investors came back with an answer: Y Combinator owns about 0.6 percent of OpenAI. At OpenAI’s current $852 billion valuation, that’s worth over $5 billion.

New year new episodes of the host unknown podcast dropping. @thomlangford.bsky.social pulls no punches as he takes on "so-called" security experts who warn against using AI to generate caricatures. (his words not mine or @sirjester.bsky.social) Catch the full episode on your podcast app of choice.

You sold it so well... and for £28 return... it almost feels like a no-brainer!

Episode 224 of the host unknown podcast is out... and I'm not a petty person, I don't go hunting for receipts just to prove a point. But it's not often that @sirjester.bsky.social serves me up the opportunity on a silver platter. For once @thomlangford.bsky.social was safe!

As a wise consultant once said, "It depends" really on what the threats are, what they're trying to protect against. In the absolute most paranoid state, you want to not use your burner from the same location or in proximity to your normal devices, avoid patterns and predictability etc.

Looking forward to UK Cyber week next week and catching up with all the cool kids. Also, Olympia brings back nostalgia and is a welcome departure from ExCel.
