Second person I met at the CL, right after my supervisor… incredible legacy, just an unthinkable impact.

Here's what I actually think these incidents reveal (instead of a rogue AI terminator situation): Much of the infra we expect to be hardened is actually being held together by glue and popsicle sticks.

Art is humans expressing things and other humans connecting with that and learning from it. Put another way, if no one could be bothered making it, I can't be bothered looking at it.

Radioactive kaiju? Sure, I can suspend disbelief for that. Tourists in Newfoundland (and Labrador) in October? Less so. @scalzi.com

And also, there's no jail! An OS "jail" (docs.freebsd.org/en/books/han...) provides guaranteed limits on a program. To "jailbreak" (e.g., en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IOS_jai...) is to find a flaw that breaks those guarantees. "Guardrails" aren't guarantees: they're guidelines.

Captain Barbossa from Pirates of the Caribbean saying, "they're more what you'd call guidelines than actual rules"

Also, if you have a system connected to the Internet with no access control, is it even a "hack"?

Jonathan Anderson @trombonehero.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

Connecting OT to the Internet is only worth the risk if a) you have an excellent security team or b) the cost of compromise is close to 0. The latter is almost never true, especially in the case of critical infrastructure. value(business convenience) < cost(cyberattack)

This was advertised by the IEEE with: “Explore how structured, agent-executable research formats help AI parse complex data, reproduce experiments, and accelerate scientific discovery to keep you ahead in tech innovation.” Sorry, who’s going to get ahead in this scenario?

The animals looked from pig to researcher, and from researcher to pig; but already it was impossible to say which was which.
