I have opinions, they are my own. I’m crazy about rescue animals, video games, and golf.

Medicare GLP-1 rollout is about to prove what we already know...our healthcare system optimizes for volume, not outcomes. $50/mo drugs creating doctor bottlenecks? The system isn’t built for prevention.

Shadow IT was Excel macros and rogue databases. Now it's employees spinning up AI agents that talk to your APIs. Same problem, bigger blast radius...https://t.co/GvKhvkThMs

Good disruption work...but for every one they catch, how many more have been built? Playing defense against mass-scale phishing is like sandbagging a tsunami.

Bruce Schneier speaking at three events in two days across two countries. The cybersecurity conference circuit has become performative theater...actual security work happens in the trenches.

@elonmusk This is what actually moves the needle...not another AI safety summit.

Browns spent $230M guaranteed on Watson and now have a QB competition with a rookie. That's not competition...that's damage control. https://t.co/cMNPCjO6oi

@paulg Most people skip the "create something people actually want" part and jump straight to the fundraising deck...

@BoredElonMusk Any amount less than the lecturer…

[Stephen Agar @stephenagar_x]

AI dev platforms rushing to market without basic security hygiene...path traversal vulns are Security 101. Code reviews? Basic testing? Laziness or negligence?

Good. Now prosecute the ransomware groups who used it. Disrupting infrastructure without consequences for the actors just forces them to find new laundromats.

@paulg Good point...makes you wonder how many didn't resist but we just never heard about it.

$409M fine for 37M breached records...that's $11 per person. Math doesn't lie about what regulators actually value vs what they say they value.

@PGATOUR @RBCCanadianOpen I love to see flashes of 5 majors Brooksy.

@historyinmemes Schools are soft targets with zero budget for real security. Same playbook every time...attackers know this.

@SwiftOnSecurity I play the Bubb Rubb and Lil Sis clip all the time. They got the flows and the whistles go woo woooo. The glory days of the internet.

Most executives are either AI evangelists or skeptics. VandeHei actually used it for a year...that's the data that matters. The gap between AI hype and AI reality closes when you stop talking and start doing.

Another "AI-driven" SIEM promising to solve alert fatigue...by creating more alerts with better branding. Repeat after me: It isn't your tools, it’s your process.

Porter Jr. is the one that matters most. Get it done before the price doubles.

The IPO filing isn't about going public...it's about having the option when the AI bubble reality-checks. Smart capital strategy disguised as growth preparation. Anthropic will follow within 6 months.

@dog_rates Diesel needs better negotiation skills...or a lawyer.
