In der USA sind die meisten Menschen enthusiastisch.
In Europa werde ich beschimpft, Leute schreien REGULIERUNG und VERANTWORTUNG.
Und wenn ich wirklich hier eine Firma baue dann kann ich mich mit Themen wie Investitionsschutzgesetz, Mitarbeiterbeteiligung und lähmenden Arbeitsregulierungen abkämpfen. Bei OAI arbeiten die meisten Leute 6-7 Tage die Woche und werden depentsprechend bezahlt. Be uns ist das illegal.

@Karl_Lauterbach Hätten wir nicht. Wir haben kein Einnahmeproblem, sondern ein Ausgabeproblem.
Ihr Kommenar klingt wie das, was verzweifelte Menschen sagen, wenn sie von Lohnzettel zu Lohnzettel leben und sagen, dass ein Lottogewinn all ihre Probleme lösen würde.
Agency > Intelligence
I had this intuitively wrong for decades, I think due to a pervasive cultural veneration of intelligence, various entertainment/media, obsession with IQ etc. Agency is significantly more powerful and significantly more scarce. Are you hiring for agency? Are we educating for agency? Are you acting as if you had 10X agency?
Grok explanation is ~close:
“Agency, as a personality trait, refers to an individual's capacity to take initiative, make decisions, and exert control over their actions and environment. It’s about being proactive rather than reactive—someone with high agency doesn’t just let life happen to them; they shape it. Think of it as a blend of self-efficacy, determination, and a sense of ownership over one’s path.
People with strong agency tend to set goals and pursue them with confidence, even in the face of obstacles. They’re the type to say, “I’ll figure it out,” and then actually do it. On the flip side, someone low in agency might feel more like a passenger in their own life, waiting for external forces—like luck, other people, or circumstances—to dictate what happens next.
It’s not quite the same as assertiveness or ambition, though it can overlap. Agency is quieter, more internal—it’s the belief that you *can* act, paired with the will to follow through. Psychologists often tie it to concepts like locus of control: high-agency folks lean toward an internal locus, feeling they steer their fate, while low-agency folks might lean external, seeing life as something that happens *to* them.”
@cyb3rops The 8-K states long-term access, so it’s probably the later and they don’t want to admit it publicly. But the SEC and the shareholders will demand details:

I’ve trained many analysts over the years - inside my own teams, in SOCs, CERTs, and various internal security teams. And lately, I’ve been noticing a trend that deeply saddens me.
There’s an increasing number of young professionals who struggle with the grind of our work. They get simple but necessary tasks - tasks that transform indicators, rework detections, or retrieve and process data - but they return flawed results, late and incomplete. Some even let AI do the work without checking if it's correct. And when I ask why, the answer, directly or indirectly, is often the same: "I want to do the exciting stuff."
But the truth is, 97% of what we do in cybersecurity is not exciting. It's slow, repetitive, and requires patience. We grind through logs, extract data from reports, and refine rules. Most of the time, we don’t see the direct impact of our work. A signature written today might detect something crucial in a customer’s system six months from now, and we’ll never even know. But every small piece matters.
What saddens me is not just the impatience, but the lack of care. The unwillingness to put thought and effort into something seemingly simple. The failure to reflect on how to make a task better. This goes against something deeply ingrained in my upbringing - a principle that I believe is also deeply rooted in both German and Japanese culture.
In German, my grandmother would always say: "Mach es gescheit." It’s hard to translate precisely, but it means: Do it properly. Not just complete a task, but do it in a way that is solid, thoughtful, and more than just "good enough." It doesn’t mean perfection - it means putting care into what you do, even if no one else will notice.
The Japanese have a similar philosophy, one that I greatly admire. There is a word, "shokunin" (職人精神), which means more than just "craftsman." It describes someone who dedicates themselves fully to their craft, always refining, always improving. Even in the smallest tasks, a shokunin finds a way to do things better, not because someone told them to, but because they take pride in their work.
I was reminded of this when I thought about my uncle, who was a carpenter. When I was a child, I watched him finish his masterpiece for his final exam - an intricately crafted dresser. After days of sanding, polishing, and checking every tiny detail, he wasn’t done. He took out a small, hand-carved wooden rose, which he had made separately, and carefully placed it on the dresser’s ledge.
It wasn’t required. No one had told him to add that ornament. But he did it because he cared. Because he wanted his work to be more than just acceptable.
And this is what I want to see in young professionals today. It’s not about making flashy things, or chasing after excitement - it’s about taking pride in your craft, even in the smallest details. Because in the end, that’s what makes a difference.
So my advice is this: Whatever you do, do it gescheit. Do it like a shokunin. Put care into your work, even if no one else will see it. That’s how you grow. That’s how you build trust. And in the long run, that’s what will set you apart.
