Idk if everyone can tell when they read something written by an LLM it feels soulless and lacking humanity, bit as a professional writer I deeply hate it. Even if it’s just a short paragraph, my eye starts twitching.

Also, some personal and professional news: I have spawned. Am very happy about this. I am on leave and will be mostly off the clock until mid-summer. If you can, try to ensure there isn't any news between now and then. Thank you.

I've been feeding the pigeons around my home for several years now. Recently, crows also started showing up.

As is their custom, they are now bringing me shiny objects as gifts.

Here's what I got so far.

New episode of DISCARDED! In a twist, I become the guest and talk about one of my favorite threat actors, TA4903. They’re an actor demonstrating both cred phish and BEC objectives, often impersonating the US government.

lol the irony of @riskybusiness in last week’s episode talking about China’s move to Linux on desktop and the likelihood and possibility of others adding vulnerabilities into OSS. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/risky-business/id216478078?i=1000650574626

Currently sitting in a coffee shop listening to teens complain about how all cars are "smart" now and they can't play any of their old school CD collections in new cars these days and how having computers in cars is actually not safe. I love them.

Cryptocurrency fraud is now a bigger business than all the email phishing/hacking of businesses, says the FBI.

You deserve some sympathy for the latter. If you get into the scam-filled crypto world, you don't deserve much if any sympathy.

@dangillmor I disagree, a lot of the crypto scams prey on people via romance fraud, and those victim stories are heartbreaking. Scammers are really good at social engineering, I have empathy for anyone who falls prey to these horrible people. https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/how-online-romance-scams-netting-millions-self-harm-rcna85252

5K sprint workout ended up just a minute off my PR because it’s fake spring. The calm before the pollening.

Still trying to figure out the right balance of content on mastodon bc it feels weird and more profesh but I used to post selfies all the time on Twitter so I’m gonna post them here too!
