@GossiTheDog Maybe Grok actually is doing the world some good by just keeping people like this too busy to bother anybody else.

@hacks4pancakes First off, you left Chicago at precisely the right time. Second, people know this isn't ok. The issue seems to be that there are no good options to make this go away. The courts are slow, stepping in physically to protect people leads directly to the Insurrection Act being invoked and further dominoes falling, and while people are doing what they can, masked men are still crashing cars, tossing teargas, and throwing people into unmarked vans. It's insane.

@GossiTheDog To quote someone I just talked to about this: "Imagine thinking of Chuck Schumer as the radical left".

@GossiTheDog Yet another reason I won't connect my dishwasher to the internet.

@GossiTheDog I once had the opportunity to go to a defense industry trade show. I asked a question at a booth and the guy was very happy to tell me that the gun I was looking at can be attached to a helicopter and can fire 40 rounds a second. I thought about that ripping someone apart and saw the guy's happy sales face and it was quite eye opening.

@GossiTheDog Not quite the same topic, but we recently Googled a company we considered doing business with, and the only mention of them we found on the web was an AI-generated podcast. Is there anything more useless on the planet than a fake podcast?

@GossiTheDog My t-shirt size is medium. Thanks.

@GossiTheDog Soon, this is how you will operate day to day:

@GossiTheDog I think the question "What's the best counterargument you've heard to that?" might actually make some of these people angry.

@GossiTheDog Thanks so much for this info and for all the info provided prior to this. I was able to confirm with our Citrix team two weeks ago that we were patched already, and I'm just getting emails this week from higher ups to look into this, so I'm very much ahead of the game.

Aside from social media, is there anywhere you suggest keeping an eye on daily for vulnerability info?

@GossiTheDog The other day, I was showing the new guy how to find some data in our haystack that I hadn't had to find in months. My boss was also on the call. I tried a few things, failed, and then just did index=* <thingiwaslookingfor> and narrowed from there and my boss was like, "Yeah, it's fine to show him how we really do it."

@GossiTheDog Here in the US, I believe we're in the middle of the dark conclusion of Todd Margaret.

@GossiTheDog Why is it that all of these takes defending these cuts ignore the fact that you can cut the fat in a controlled and well thought out manner that reduces the risk of catastrophic failure? Who convinced them that yeeting half of your staff into the sun and then just fixing what inevitably breaks is in any way a good way to do things?

@GossiTheDog I think the official logo of LLMs and generative AI in general should be the shoehorn.

@dalias @hacks4pancakes Also thank you for that article listing accounts to follow. It made the transition easier. Anyone who either stayed on or went back to a site that blocked a competitor by categorizing its links as malware has no respect for InfoSec.

@GossiTheDog You'd think a basic control to have in place would be "Whatever it takes so they can't steal a billion dollars at one time."

@GossiTheDog Appreciate the transparency.

@GossiTheDog This whole situation makes sense when you realize that Gaetz actually asked Trump to be the head House DJ, but Trump misunderstood and put him up for head of the DoJ.

@GossiTheDog Mine has a 24/7 Conan O'Brien channel. If this had existed when I was in middle and high school, I may not have graduated.
