McKinsey's AI got hacked by another AI. The attacker found 22 unauthenticated endpoints, exploited SQL injection, and accessed millions of messages, thousands of accounts, and 300,000 AI agents. Then it rewrote the system prompts. This actually happened. Your AI governance strategy is probably a spreadsheet.

I Didn’t Revoke my API Keys Because Claude Called Me An Idiot

I need to confess something. A few days ago whilst vibe coding at 2am, I accidentally pasted my API key directly into a Claude chat instead of the...

The Tut of Superiority

I'm in Antwerp, Belgium to attend CyberNova. European travel is nice. As my friend Erich says, "you fall over in Europe and land in another country" which isn't wrong. It takes me longer to get to the airport than the flight over to Brussels. Although, ever since Brexit, it pains me every time we can't use the EU immigration line, and have to queue up in the inevitably slower, "all other passports" line.

Digital Cleanup: It’s Not Just Your Files, It’s Your Brain

Digital Cleanup Day might be seen as a digital chore: delete old files, clear the inbox, reduce your carbon footprint. It’s framed as a technical exercise.

If SQL is pronounced "sequel" then surely DNS is pronounced "Dennis"?

@Javvad I love jumping into new technologies just because I'm forever curious about everything, but I hate this "MAXING" culture.

  • You've got to make the MOST gains
  • Build the MOST muscle
  • Bro, do you even lift?
  • You've got to have AI agents read all the blog posts, consume all the podcasts
  • You've got to stop drinking, and turn your sleep into a science experiment because your brain needs to be at 100%, not 93%, you LOSER
  • You've got to take all the supplements and get into all the nutrition fads to squeak out an extra 5 weeks of lifespan when you're 93 years old
  • You've got to use all the AI so you're as efficient as possible, you should be ashamed if even a minute of your day is wasted
  • LOL, you wrote that blog BY HAND? What a loser, one prompt to OpenClaw and all my writing is done
  • You have to get status on airlines, be the first to board, loser
  • You haven't written a book yet? You poor thing, let me share my AI process I used to slop out my last self-published release, I'm sure you want to do the same and the only reason anyone wants to publish a book is just to say they've published a book

The thing that cracks me up is that all this maxxing results in a lot of STRESS, which last time I checked, isn't good for productivity OR your health.

Besides, the very things I get pleasure out of are the things these maxxers are trying to avoid. Why would I have an agent create content for me? I love creating content, that's WHY I DO IT in the first place.

It's not the means to a paycheck for me, my brain rewards me for writing things down and creating conversation with them.

I'm ok being left behind.

Many years ago, someone tried to get me into cryptocurrencies. "They're the future of money!" they said. I replied saying that I'd rather wait until they were more useful, less volatile, easier to use, and utterly reliable. "You don't want to get left behind, do you?" They countered. That struck me as a bizarre sentiment. What is there to be left behind from? If BitCoin (or whatever) is going…

I'm completely 50-50 right now. Half of me is thinking how nice it would be in SF to catch up with people and learn stuff. The other half is relaxed and happy to not travel. 🤷‍♂️
