I'm either a software developer who loves infosec, or an infosec professional who loves software development.

Happy #Mondog from Oliver.

Earlier this year, Blake Lemoine was fired from Google after announcing that their AI chatbot had become sentient and therefore deserves to have its wants respected. At the time, I thought he was both wrong and insane.

After interacting with the ChatGPT AI this morning, I now only think that he was wrong. You don't need to be insane to believe what he believes.

Unlike Stable-Diffusion, ChatGPT isn't available to download and use on our personal computers without controls or supervision. You need to interact with it through OpenAI's website. But the day will come that it, or something like it, will be available for anybody to download and use. At the rate things are going, that day could even be today.

I don't think I'm ready for it.

For me, personally, the painful part of this AI renaissance is having to admit that I was wrong and that Ray Kurzweil might have been right.

As a Canadian, I just want to express some gratitude for American institutions like CISA and NIST. The benefits of their work goes beyond America's borders.
I see "users want algorithmic timelines"
I hear "100% of wireheaded users like wireheading"

Joining an infosec community after a long hiatus from any form of professional networking is humbling.

I'm looking forward to re-meeting and meeting many of you! I'm here to learn with you, commiserate with you, and share the occasional photo of my dog with you.
