   "Chase the BIG things!" - Futurist Jim Carroll

   --
   Futurist Jim Carroll is writing a series, The Art of the Infinite Pivot, based on 36 lessons from his 36 years as a solo entrepreneur, working as a nomadic worker in the global freelance economy. The series is unfolding here, and at pivot.jimcarroll.com.

   When big, bold opportunities are unfolding, do you chase the big ideas or keep doing small things?

   The art of the infinite pivot involves the former, obviously, not the latter.

   Big trends involve big opportunities, but only come around so often. So why would you wait?

   Think of it this way: the biggest pivot of your life won’t start with a spreadsheet or a market report.

   It starts when you finally choose to listen to the quiet, internal voice inside you telling you to leave the safety of "certainty" for the risk of something bigger.

   When I quit the corporate world in 1990, I didn't have a 50-page business plan. What I had was a gut feeling that something massive was happening with global networking. I just knew I had to be a part of it. I had no idea where it was going to take me, what I might do, or how I might shape my tomorrow.

   But I just knew... so I traded a predictable salary for the unpredictable thrill of the unknown.

   I stopped chasing the "safe" path and started chasing the thing I actually wanted to chase.

   It worked out pretty well!

   Unknown to me at the time, I was deeply caught up in one of the most important aspects of innovation of all - emotional commitment to a bigger trend. And that is the lesson many leaders miss: true innovation requires an emotional investment in a bold future. You'll only accomplish big things if you innovate within the bigger trend.

   My early pivot has continued through my career. In fact, throughout my 36-year voyage, the moments of greatest growth always happened after I abandoned the "proven" model to follow a bigger signal that only I could hear.

   Look, certainty is comfortable, but being bold takes you further.

   Don't wait for the world to permit you to change.

   Listen to your internal voice.

   Chase the thing you want to chase.

   Because it might be in front of you right now.

   It's no wonder that the title of one of Jim's books starts with Think BIG...!

   Volexity put out a report about likely GenAI being used in cyber attacks by China... and it contains IOCs! It's a good report.

   It has all the low hanging fruit classics defenders have been aware of forever, e.g. .rar files with .exe files inside, all of the "GenAI malware" was detected out of the box across all leading vendors etc etc.

   Also the payloads contain unique phrases (and Wav files, lol) which made them easy to detect.

   This is a nightmare.

   ICE snatches a 15-year-old, non-verbal kid with autism off the street.

   His mom files a missing person's report.

   It takes police six days to find him hidden in an ICE gulag.

   This is a parent's worst nightmare.

   How to move stock prices RFK Jr. style.

   Health Secretary RFK Jr. plans to announce that pregnant women’s use of Tylenol is potentially linked to autism in a report.

   It will suggest that a medicine derived from folate can be used to treat symptoms of the developmental disorder in some people.

   Kenvue Inc., maker of Tylenol, stock price fell 15% in afternoon trading but has recovered to -10% since then.

   Anyway, please enjoy my stray thoughts as I compile and run a bleeding-edge version of Wine so that I can add context to my bug report.

   It took ten or so minutes to figure out the right way to invoke `./configure` for the project and to get the right system-level development libraries in place, so now it's just the waiting game. How long am I waiting on a pretty high-end desktop? Who knows!

   @NicholasTheSaver I looked at some posts on shortstacksran, just a sampling, and I didn't see racism. I did see posts that, I thought, were inappropriate and walk the line, for reasons other than racism. I limited the server to keep their posts off the public timeline and prevent boosting. People are still free to create follow relationships (none here, anyway). If you see a racist post that the Admin won't act on, open a report.

   It seems all the accounts I sampled are owned by low IQ people. But, unless I see evidence that the admin allows racism or allows the breaking of serious rules, I won't block them. I need strong proof before I block another server.

   As for servers involved in AI because they might steal something, all servers, because they have people behind their accounts, might steal something. There's no rule here against servers that focus on AI if that's what they focus on. I didn't check anything on the server. And I am not against AI. I don't believe AI=evil.
