Must. Spellcheck. Posts.

Good morning

I get so frustrated when looking for autism resources, as so many are how to analyse us from the outside-in, not for us to help ourselves.

@WeirdWriter > Your blog is so structurally unsound, so artistically self-indulgent, that you have inadvertently created a fortress against artificial intelligence. It is, and I do not say this lightly, the single most profound act of digital idiocy I have ever witnessed.

Life goals. You must be so proud. I would be.

I prefer to call it ‘intellectual shitposting’.

My wife just asked me if most of what I post on here is to make people mad.

Me:

Have a great weekend all. Down-tools and get some rest and self care if you can.

Look after yourselves, you deserve it.

@GrapheneOS @neurovagrant @mttaggart @tris @Viss I appreciate what you’re saying, but you’re also confusing security and privacy.

But mostly, there’s a lot of FUD surrounding celebrite, and they’re still unable to bypass a current OS version’s security, strong passcodes, encrypted file systems, and is completely stopped by lockdown mode.

I hate Apple as much as the next guy, but don’t spread misinformation.

@GrapheneOS @neurovagrant @mttaggart @tris @Viss also, one more point on Celebrite, Apple will give you the best part of half a million dollars if you can demonstrate a POC of Celebrite/A N Other’s claimed exploit on a current device.

Majority of law enforcement ‘successes’ are against outdated, poorly secured devices with owners with terrible OpSec.

@GossiTheDog wish I could do more right now, but I’ve donated what I can.

Really sorry to hear this my friend.

Just waiting for Gartner to coin the phrase AI 2.0 or Next-Generation AI.

And when I say Gartner ‘coins’ a phrase, I mean agree in advance with vendors what will best suit their marketing strategies.

Would you like another prediction?

Generative AI as we know it is a bubble.

It’s unsustainable.

Relying on it now will result in very expensive work to undo that damage in years to come. And we’re going to live with the accuracy debt for decades.

We are going to have an enormous skills and critical thinking shortage in the very near future, once the layoffs have slowed, and organisations start to cave in under the weight of their own shortsightedness.

Consultancy demand will go through the roof for people who actually know what they’re doing, attracting large salaries, and many won’t be able to afford this, dooming them further. There will be some bittersweet justice in those being laid off picking up the big money.

Vendors will transition to alternative technologies while trying to convince us that the technology is improving and AGI is just around the corner. They’re selling you something they haven’t figured out yet, and you won’t be able to afford (or will likely be dead) when it does actually arrive.

Alternative technologies will continue to be researched, and progress will be made. But they’re not the same thing, don’t let them fool you.

It seems after 10 years of previously serious and respected people saying the cloud is the future and that I’m a dinosaur for telling them it’ll be back on prem before the end of the next decade, I was right.

It WAS more expensive.

It WAS less performant.

It WAS less secure.

It WAS a gateway to increasingly more exploitative pricing models.

A lesson in getting carried away with the hype and not looking at the actual trends. This was always going to happen. Threats increasing, and compute, storage, and bandwidth costs reducing faster than your upgrade cycle.

Another lesson in dedicated vs generalised software.

Not everything needs to be ‘dynamic’. In fact, most things suffer when they are.

Looking forward to liquid glass so I can legitimately say I didn’t see the notification.

Y’all got any more of that Kool-aid? The supply chain is bone dry, experts are confounded.

@grrrr_shark this?

@evan 10-15 years ago I might have said 1m, but today <1s is perfectly achievable, and expected in most cases.

It might seem trivial in the grand scheme of things, but this is a beautiful act of malicious compliance and defiance, simultaneously.

@amszmidt This isn’t something you can explain to me. I literally wrote the book on it.
