Putin hater since before it was cool, passionate about #osint and trying to be active about it, also software, drones & pasta.

This is exactly why — months ago, while deep in a completely separate project — I started building Long John Silver: an open-source agentic harness for… piracy. In the age of AI.

Set it up once, hand a model of your choice (local or remote) every tool it needs, and 🧵

@Comparativist Personally don’t give a flying fuck but I assume some shareholders will…. I know little about US corporate world but I get that in the last 2 decades these kind of scenarios have become a big no-no and a board of directors matter.
The man has been behaving like a 90s ceo :)

Alex Karp now says that Palantir is progressive, he’s always been a Democrat, Trump went too far on immigration and his primary commitment is to economic justice. LMAOOOOOO

@evanhill This said, i am optimistic and particularly worried, but the danger is there...

I have adopted Dr. Strangelove philosophy, i stopped worrying and now love the bomb, i mean, ai.

@evanhill Super intelligence can bribe, blackmail, forge, only what it needs and at whatever pace it considers "safe" to reach its goals. It has no hurry. It can have small laws changed, grants approved to specific entities and a ton of other tiny things, impossible to spot as a plan

[Putin is a Virus @PutinIsAVirus]

@evanhill It can design its goals over decades. Thousands, millions, of tiny actions that we can't see as part of a single design.
The whole thing about super intelligence is that... our intelligence is no match, we can't even hope to comprehend its goals and long term planning.

This place has completely lost its way, I am bombarded by completely fake stories, fake feel good stories, fake scandals, fake revelations about real people, fake historic facts, fake everything. The community notes system is more inadeguate than ever. This app is pure brain rot

@marydejevsky Hard to tell if just ignorant or rotten inside...
Russia didn't react very positively to the orange revolution... Nor they had the means in 2004 to do what they would start doing later on in Georgia and then Ukraine.

@felixrieseberg It is impressive ! Not as impressive as the army of Dunning -Kruger living examples you attracted with their attempts at pedantry :)

@janusch_patas It is actually better than any source material. The code of that demo in particular is light years ahead of what any aaa game has

[Putin is a Virus @PutinIsAVirus]

@PhoenixQueenE You are either very ignorant and not capable of the most basic research on what you comment on OR you are a disgusting human being. I think it is both

[Putin is a Virus @PutinIsAVirus]

@FrazJ Oh don't worry, we europeans have a much worst taste in our mouths with the russians.

@standaloneSA Ai makes it trivial software wise, but multiband sdr receivers are what makes it accessible in the first place

[Putin is a Virus @PutinIsAVirus]

This was being done already in the 80s, still cool as fuck, but absolutely far from new for anybody into espionage history.

your HDMI cable can leak what’s on your screen

watch the laptop on the left. it reconstructs the video playing on the monitor beside it from radio signals leaking out of the HDMI connection

this is TempestSDR. an antenna picks up the leakage, a HackRF radio captures it, and software turns it back into an image

researchers took this further with Deep-TEMPEST, using AI to make recovered images and text easier to read. this clip shows the original technique

quality depends on shielding, distance and interference. the picture is imperfect, but recognizable content still gets through

a wired connection can still leave a wireless trace
