Just think about it!

In just 14 days, Microsoft pivoted from "do security" in an internal memo on May 5 to "let's install spyware on everyone's PC" on May 21.

That must be a world record in bad corporate management

"In the last week, OpenAI has repeatedly lied about a voice product, dissolved its AI safety team, and had two major players in the company resign — one of whom tried to oust Sam Altman late last year, and the other who clearly despises the direction of the company."

"Eat at a local restaurant tonight. Get the cream sauce. Have a cold pint at 4 o’clock in a mostly empty bar. Go somewhere you’ve never been. Listen to someone you think may have nothing in common with you. Order the steak rare. Eat an oyster. Have a negroni. Have two. Be open to a world where you may not understand or agree with the person next to you, but have a drink with them anyways. Eat slowly. Tip your server. Check in on your friends. Enjoy the ride."

"our security is so bad that when we get hit we have to divert ambulances"

i dont want this to come off as "victim blaming" but if the head of security in that circumstance didnt have " have to divert ambulances" in their threat model as the person in charge of a healthcare org - they should be the next one in the hotseat in court getting grilled by the prosecution.

$5 says its related to "for profit healthcare"

@chetwisniewski ive said for years, that you can divide security folks into two camps "people who give a shit" and "people who dont give a shit" and theres zero overlap. this venn diagram is two circles with the grand canyon inbetween them.

and its really really easy to tell whos who

I thought the FBI were about evidence? Maybe the evidence was stolen on the made up USB airport devices they keep warning about.

I'm not at this year. Faculty don't have expense accounts and it has become too expensive to pay out of pocket.

However, I tried to recreate aspects of it at home:

  • I got some T-shirts and socks I will only wear once
  • I paid way too much for several meals
  • I had some undergrads explain cyber concepts to me incorrectly but with enthusiasm; I had some lie to me for extra verisimilitude

1/2

  • I watched videos of former celebrities talking about something they didn't understand but played a movie role about decades ago
  • I walked several miles back and forth without seeing anything really interesting
  • I got my email address added to about 50 spam lists

The only things I didn't do was spend $3000+ and see some old friends. That last bit is the only thing I regret.

went down to the hotel lobby to retrieve my dinner delivery in a yoga outfit + snuggly cardigan + face mask.

some men with lanyards exited the elevator as I re-entered; they turned back to look at me and one said (very loudly, very pointedly staring at me) to the other, “I was like, did you hire me a hooker?”

if you are a man attending , please shut that kind of shit down when your peers do it. let’s not let insecurity rule our industry.

This is my yearly reminder that while many celebrate today as a Star Wars holiday, for me May the 4th is first and foremost the anniversary of the day that National Guardsmen shot and killed four college students protesting at Kent State University.

This year it seems particularly important to remember.
