People tell me they're afraid of AI and computers taking over the world but if it helps: I'm really not.
For the last few decades since Terminator came out, we've been hard at work building in a dead man's switch to every major system on Earth to prevent this from happening. I guarantee you that if computers try to take over the world, somewhere, within a month, a certificate for some critical dependency no one ever considered will expire and take all the machines out at once. We've done a few dozen trial runs of this to make sure the system works. 100% success rate so far.
This thread has expressed in far better ways than I could why and how I think about "ML" in infosec as being more about managing data and people than about making the magical lightning glass think for me. https://ioc.exchange/@invisv/109740474201888576

I'm blown away that a conference that's been hounding people for months about getting pretty pricy early bird tickets has so many gaps in it's schedule;

We shouldn't be putting our eggs into dozens of 1-day self-aggrandising confs where venues walk away with all the money, and instead supporting enabling community infra like Farset Labs, Low-Cost-Medium-Impact with 'generously' given sponsorship of regular domain specific meetups and large cross-silo events like NIDC.
@mo turns out one man _does_ have that power.
Here we go again.
@mo i don't think anyone has that power...
So, this is a thing again. Still doesn't do native GIFs so I'm basically kneecapped.
Now that NITD is just NIT, maybe it's time to bring this back? 😂
@mo hmmmm, no copy paste images, no auto load from urls, the trolling in here is gonna be a lot of work...
@mo why is this not your header...?
So, this is twitter for people who don't like people, right?
