Despite being a "verified defender" with Daybreak, OpenAI still rejected me when I appealed a warning they sent for generating a simple shellcode loader for research. I verified my identity and the legitimacy of my consulting LLC that I've run for two years now, and apparently that doesn't matter?

Purple team exercises are my favorite work when they go well. Few things burn me out harder than when they're set up to fail and I have to run them anyway. I wrote up the specific failure modes I've seen repeatedly, on both the client side and the consulting side. 🧵

Oh, this? Yeah, I only use AI on the command line. I’m a bit of a power user. ChatGPT? I’ve heard of it, but Claude just sort of gets me, you know? Plus it understands my Vim commands, so the mental load is almost nonexistent. Vim? Yeah, hard to explain, you might be better off with the web UI.

I'll be presenting "Solving Dumb Hacker Problems with Nix" at @wildwesthackinfest.bsky.social Mile High in February! It'll be a quick one, but I'll cram in as much #Nix declarative black magic and Python dependency trash talk as I possibly can.
