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

@malwaretech I'm not sure how this got past my filter on "quote tweet" but I'm glad it did. You said it better than I ever could. Every time I opened up twitter, I was presented with a feed of everything that makes me and the people I care about angry - compliments of the people I care about.

The whole thing was a troll feeding frenzy.

@catc0n bakeoff for research, taskmaster for unwinding with friends. Thursday night drinks and Taskmaster has become a tradition in my house. Can't wait for the next series to start!

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.

@invisiblethreat I really miss working with Go for that reason. Going from Go to PHP was brutal. In one codebase I could have probably been productive with notepad. In the other, I needed a complex IDE just to make sense of the namespaces.

I eventually learned to love PHP, but I'm not sure how much of that is Stockholm syndrome.

@invisiblethreat I just started using VSCode earlier this week - also for Python. I agree with you, coming from vim/spacemacs it feels pretty cluttered. But man, for people who are coming from the likes of PyCharm, Classic visual studios, or even Atom, VSCode is amazing. It gives me hope that things are moving in the right direction.
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.
