We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be... That said:

What's more forming to character: Active resistance against a force, or passive existence in a vacuum?

"What I trust more
Has gone before in knowing joy and grief.
So when it stands
It grips its hands more tightly round belief."

Hacktivism: often treated as least significant of the threat motivations triad. But from another perspective, scariest because it's the least restrained.

"Intent to cause harm or death..."

APT & eCrime have diplomatic & financial disincentives, respectively. Less so hacktivism

US has charged two men with running Anonymous Sudan, hackers who disrupted ChatGPT, Microsoft, Israel's missile alert system among hundreds of targets. One faces a max life sentence for his attacks on hospitals with alleged intent to kill. That's a first. https://t.co/hT1tSP4rca

@maryCyPsy - I nominated your book "The Cyber Effect" to our internal CrowdStrike book club this past month. Thanks for assembling this important work. What an necessary read, especially for parents. If you have a moment, could suggest suggest a next book for us?

[Timothy Hrushka @TimothyHrushka]

@a_greenberg Bummer, I thought I had preordered a part 2.
Well… I guess now I'll have an extra copy in case I want to read it more than once.

Got to meet @a_greenberg in person recently at RMISC.

I'm looking forward to his 4th book coming out soon, and you should be too.

Treat yourself and pre-order it here: https://t.co/QeXw37xgTn

[Timothy Hrushka @TimothyHrushka]

@ArthurLHerman - I recently asked Reserve Rear Admiral Schwerin for a book recommendation. He suggested your "Freedom's Forge." What an interesting deep dive into the driving forces behind the US's success in WWII. Would you name a book you love for a next read?

[Timothy Hrushka @TimothyHrushka]

This is a clean, sharp, beautiful point

Noam Chomsky on ChatGPT:

He’s not wrong.

Just today!
This spy legacy goes back to the CORONA satellites—the reconnaissance successor to the U-2.
…does that make @elonmusk's SpaceX Skunkworks' spiritual successor? https://t.co/bp1Qap2ors

[Jesse Powell @jespow]

Is Gemini the exception or the rule? Is this just what you get when you put a visualizer on top of Google/YouTube search? People think this is crazy but this has been going on for years. The Internet is already heavily censored/curated. It just wasn't as obvious in other formats.

@PhilKlay Such a great book! My fav of Orwell.

[Timothy Hrushka @TimothyHrushka]

@a_greenberg with little reflective inclusions that make reading more than just downloading information.

To still my beating mind.”

Isnt that clever hacking?

Concept advanced enough to make cybersec professionals nod (and frown!) yet simple enough to explain to Mom at Thanksgiving dinner

This tool uses TRIG ON CURSOR ANGLES to determine if its dealing w human v machine behavior

@JohnHultquist Perfectly in line with my readings this morning!

[Timothy Hrushka @TimothyHrushka]

Translating "unsafe" commands into Zulu can break GPT4's guardrails?

Fascinating thing about LLMs:
As enduser programing language moves past traditional code to natural language, hacking & bug-hunting moves to manipulating natural language too.

@brysonbort @JohnHultquist Whichever it is, should probably have T-shirt’s made for it

@MorningBrew #WWDC23 :
"Why not give us in-app data on your most private emotional states?"

"Why not strap iWatches on kids that'll track how much daylight they got today?"

"Why not strap a screen to your face for 'mindfullness' sessions?"

#WWDC23 summed up

@NickTaber I’m curious!

🧵 4/4
Is our age-old human wrestle with that boulder
Of Sisyphus, with our purpose trussed?
Is there meaning in the daily tasks we shoulder
Till the day of ash to ash and dust to dust?

🧵1/4
A poem (not ChatGPT generated...yet)
& unrelated neon words from a San Juan bar

UNEASY RIP/TOA
When the work of crafting shortcuts for our working
Is handed to creations of our hands…
Is the monster slain replaced by other lurking,
Just with heavier more somberly demands?

[Timothy Hrushka @TimothyHrushka]

🧵 3/4
Will we recline in well-earned rest or is it kneeling?
When our struggles finally end, should we be sad
For a future that eradicated feeling
That there should even be a struggle to be had?
