Random #infosec / #cyber warfare thought: what's to stop a large US adversary from providing Iran with cyber attack capabilities/exploits, provided that Iran take the blame if/when they use it? Seems like a situation ripe for Putin to take advantage of Iran as a heel state. Is there a name for this strategy in warfare?

I've been thinking about #uncertainty from risk POV, & Doug Hubbard's concepts of calibrated estimators. My team does weekly calibrations for #estimating uncertainty. Listening to Choi-Greene talk about AI's certainty - confidently wrong, sometimes - I couldn't help but think that having calibrated, specific uncertainty on events, plans, projects, #technology would become MORE valuable in the future.

"We will eliminate roadblocks that prevent industry, academia, government, and the
military from aligning incentives and building a highly skilled cyber workforce."

Ansage von Trump zur Weltraum-Strategie seiner Regierung. Wer seinen Ambitionen zur Weltraum-Vormacht im Wege steht, wird aus dem Weg geräumt. Anthropic war das erste prominente Opfer. Dario Amodei ist mittlerweile zu Kreuze gekrochen.
