The industry is debating whether AI has consciousness while deploying agents with unconstrained network egress. Both conversations are happening in the same organisations, same quarter.
🧵
Agent logs are self-reported. A compromised agent can manipulate its own records. The network is the only observer the agent doesn't control. This is engineering fact, not philosophy.
@Bankwest told me to call in “twilight hours.” Then clarified: 6:30 am–6 pm.
And the official solution? “Hope we’re not busy.”
Starting today, my 2FA is now HOPE.
Press 1 for vibes, 2 for manifesting, 3 to enjoy 46 minutes of hold music.
@nntaleb Very interesting! Do you think Tsallis-entropy models could be used for bursty network traffic and tail latency? If no, what key assumptions would likely break in practice?
@MicrosoftLearn 17 Jul – Engineer writes me that there's already a ticket for me and I should wait for that. Closes ticket ...1783 without waiting for my reply. But I do not have access to that ...6217 ticket. So I open another SR (SR 250717005004236)
@MicrosoftLearn 04 Jul – Email said the case was migrated to a new support platform with SR 2507040040006217. I can’t see this SR in Services Hub; asked for link.
04 Jul (later) – Escalated via email: requested ETA or interim Microsoft letter; highlighted client deadline.
@MicrosoftLearn 18-26 Jun – Opened Microsoft Community thread (“Renewed AZ-104 and passed AZ-305 but Expert credential missing”).Support agent collected profile details. 19 Jun – told the case was sent to engineering, ETA 5-7 business days. 26 Jun – “still under review.”
@MicrosoftLearn Guys...This is ridiculous.
11 Feb – Renewed AZ-104 successfully; credential shows as active.
17 Jun – Passed AZ-305 at Pearson VUE. Expected badge within 24-48 h.
🇬🇪 | Supporters and family members gather on New Year’s Eve outside the prison to show solidarity with detained protesters.
More than 50 protesters are being forced to spend New Year’s Eve behind bars.
🇬🇪Mark Rutte, NATO’s Secretary General @SecGenNATO, legitimizing self-proclaimed PM Irakli Kobakhidze with a ‘Happy New Year’?
Kobakhidze stole the election for Bidzina Ivanishvili—a US sanctioned Russian agent under Executive Order 14024.
This sends a shocking message. While Georgians fight for EU/NATO values in the streets, this must feel like a betrayal of their struggle for democracy and independence.
Bad judgment. Terrible optics. A slap in the face to those risking everything for a Euro-Atlantic future.
Mark Rutte, do better. Stand with the people, not the regime.
Russia's seizure of power in Georgia 🇬🇪 and the ambivalence of European 🇪🇺 governments in confronting the illegitimate regime unfortunately suggest that the cost of defending freedom and democracy across Europe will be much higher in the near future.
The people of Georgia 🇬🇪, who have been demonstrating their resolve for 3⃣2⃣ consecutive days, deserve both moral and tangible support from European countries – in words and in actions. If the people of Georgia do not tire or give in, neither can Europe afford to.
