So did anyone happen to pirate @k8em0’s rendition of “You’ll Adapt?” from her #BsidesSF keynote?

If you were there, you will surely agree that it should be nominated for the Best Song Pwnie Award this year.

AI can't just be for the benefit of the rich and powerful, @k8em0 declares at rousing #bsidessf keynote that brings the crowd to its feet https://www.scworld.com/news/bsides-sf-ai-must-benefit-everyone-not-just-the-wealthy
BSides SF: AI must benefit everyone, not just the wealthy

Renowned security expert Katie Moussouris warned that unregulated adoption of AI stands to make a few people very wealthy and everyone else poorer.

So I was at #bsidessf and had a lovely time despite the profusion of AI horseshit.

Tho one of the AI vendors was handing out hot sauce as swag, so I figured, what the hell -

"Ingredients: habanero and naga jolokia chili peppers, water, salt, carrot, onion, lime, acetic and citric acids, cornstarch and xanthan gum, passion fruit, garlic"

- maybe it'll be ok?

.......yeah. No. It had a little burn on the back end, but way too vinegar forward, not enough highlighting of the pepper flavors, and honestly a huge disappointment.

But I suppose that's what you can expect out of "ai" swag.

The slides from my BSidesSF 2026 talk, "We Pwn the Night: Growing and Leading an 31337 Security Research Team" are now available 👍

That’s a wrap on #BSidesSF 2026: The musical! 🎭

We danced, we sang, and we enjoyed connecting with the insightful and highly skilled people in the security community.

Thanks for another great conference BSidesSF, and see you next year!
