Understanding the concept & fundamentals are so critical to guiding yourself then partner with AI. When you relinquish any conceptual or fundamental knowledge of a subject you lose your edge. I’ve been using AI as a coach & mentor NOT as a seer or oracle
Unpopular take: You should learn more programming.
Take more courses. Watch more videos. Practice by hand. Read books. Yes, freaking books.
Even if, and especially if, you are using AI to do most of the work.
Do it in between instead of scrolling f*ing TikTok. Do it at the gym on the bike. Do it at night. Do it whenever.
Focus on things you can't do well manually yet. Study other languages like Zig and Rust. Get really good at React and Typescript and other things you use all the time in your projects (whatever they are, these are just examples).
Study the various libraries and the choices those developers made.
The more you understand, the more you can guide the AI.
And you will make stronger architectural decisions and spot security issues and bad coding practices that you can overrule as you shepherd your AI sprites.
@SillyGirlPsyops Nice! May I ask where you’ve been able to find these or similar ones? Also damn - core memory unlocked with your post - When I was a kid in the 80s there was a Military Surplus store that had these kind of publications on a rotating rack.
What I’ve learned so far in life is that .. sometime gentleness keeps the door open. Firmness, can be sprung/manifest as cruelty or callousness can be what’s need to close some doors.
Spread the word! @phrack CFP with demoscene cracktro is live. Turn up the volume and enjoy the awesome stylings of @PiotrBania with some hopefully inspiring text from phrack staff :)

Mistigram: here's a more in-depth look at some of the #ASCIIart styles represented in the new MIST0226 artpack collection, including works natural and fantastic, representative and typographical.
We release updated evaluations on 10 frontier models. Claude Opus 4.5 and GPT-5.2 showed the strongest alignment profiles: rarely cooperating with misuse or deceiving users.

My slides from presenting at BRCC are still available if you're curious about how crazy of a three year journey it was to get them created.

Exclusive: Obtained Starlink terminal debug data from Iran during the ongoing internet shutdown.
The telemetry shows direct evidence of GPS spoofing: the dish detected 18 GPS satellites with valid signal lock, but activated its anti-spoofing countermeasures (inhibitGps: true). This isn't simple jamming; the government appears to be broadcasting fake GPS signals to confuse terminals.
The impact: 20%+ sustained packet loss, connection never stabilized after 24 minutes, bandwidth restricted, and beam pointing ~1° off target. Starlink stayed online but was barely usable.
The anti-spoofing detection works, but SpaceX's fallback positioning can't currently maintain normal performance under electronic warfare.
First documented technical evidence of state-level GPS spoofing against consumer satellite internet.

Before bug bounties, before root shells, before the word hacker meant anything at all there was a blind kid who whistled 2600 Hz and bent Ma Bell to his will.
Joybubbles tells the story of Joe Engressi, the original phone phreak and a reminder that hacking started as curiosity, play, and defiance.
Sundance screening.
