JUST IN: Video streaming platform Rumble announces pivot into AI compute, aiming to “compete with the world’s largest hyperscalers.”
English
@cyb3rops @UK_Daniel_Card AI is absolutely fantastic for all of those use cases where you would make that quantity vs certainty trade. Namely for things you would never have paid money for humans to do in the first place. AI’s best use right now is to take the jobs nobody ever does.
English
My whole argument regarding AI boils down to this:
>>> AI increases output much faster than it increases certainty <<<
Yes, it generates more code, more prototypes, more pull requests and more “solutions”.
But every generated line still needs ownership, review, testing, debugging and long-term maintenance by humans.
And I think the market currently underestimates how expensive that last part really is.

Marc Andreessen accidentally told the truth about AI

@ZackKorman We are just cycling out of the “Spend $100k a month per person on tokens or else” narrative for silicon valley so there are still some misconceptions that SAAS is dead and claude is its replacement. Gonna take some time before the C suite is ready to pivot on that
English
@craykestrel Lol yea but you can just tell them not to do that (although most CEOs won’t because innovation or something)
English
The biggest threat AI poses to cybersecurity isn't the vulnerability apocalypse. It's that it’s now trivially cheap for security vendors to build products that look like they work but don’t.
The real threat actors are the unethical vendors we met along the way.

@IceSolst @ZackKorman it’s been 5mins. Pls respond you’re outside of SLA

@RobProvince Is it a turnkey $250k or would you need a bit of reno to get it rentable?
I don’t disagree with you but properties, materials, and labor have all been high lately. Investment property can be high risk with high reward and not without turbulence.
English
Bullshit. At $250,000 your payment is maybe $1500 depending on your interest rate. You can rent the lower unit for $600-$750. So you’re owning a home. A property. For $750-$900/month. That you can sell later for a profit or keep and have passive income.

@RobProvince $250k is still insane.

@Oilfield_Rando This is actually elliot page. Don’t you guys look dumb now
English
Sigh. The reason they don’t doxx me isn’t because they don’t know who I am. They know.
They don’t doxx me because they find out I am actually who I am.

Major companies are getting pwned by browser extensions and npm packages, but they think deploying AI agents will go fine.
Good luck, have fun.

@CryptoCyberia AI has made this worse for me in cybersecurity. The scope and pace of work has risen dramatically and it is difficult to keep up. Offshoring and AI replacement is always looming.
English
To the crypto/other startup peoples, is this a common thing for you to experience emotionally?
Even if I am diligent for the entire day, working from when I wake up until ~an hour before I sleep and getting a lunch takeout, I still feel like I am not being productive enough/I am failing/I need to be better. I didn't really have this feeling at my last gig at Liquid, but then again, I also got laid off, which I think just fuels this attitude more. On days that I have marked for being off work, I never really have a feeling that I need to work this day anyways to "catch up" or whatever, probably since I tell myself I need this day off to avoid burn out and be successful.
It's important to remind myself that startups/trading/outreach/poker/tweeting bangers/whatever else I have done is a marathon, not a sprint, but I am curious if this is a common thing.
I think a lot of it has to do with there being a never-ending list of things to do, and the founders that I have ended up working for are VERY impressive people, which is really motivating, but also makes me feel like I suck in comparison, even though I know that I am fucking great.
English
@ZackKorman I see two conflicting trends here. You have coinbase letting non technical teams push code to prod, and you have cloudflare stating that defense in depth arch design is needed. What org is that patient with the AI rollout to do what cloudflare is recommending right now?
English
Cloudflare is right about this. You're not going to be able to patch fast enough, but you can build your systems so that the vast majority of vulnerabilities don't matter.
If you've not done that, you're going to have a bad time.

@politicalmath Maybe we will discover that whales have untenable social and political views

@politicalmath Maybe she just ran out of personal days and found a perfect excuse
English
@politicalmath It’s so annoying how some modern shows can only mime what they see on nightly news but simultaneously be so outdated in their understanding.
English
Trying to watch The Boys again and the first thing I see is a puppet show about reporting your parents to the government
It's funny because the show says this is a right wing thing but we all know that jailing parents is left wing now
The poor show runners are stuck in the 90s

It's been fascinating to watch mainstream liberal culture slowly boil every human quality down to politics
Is he the greatest guitarist of all time? "Well I can't answer that question until I see their tweets during Covid"
Robin Monotti@robinmonotti
Rolling Stone moved Eric Clapton down from the top 10 of greatest guitar players of all time to 35 because he admitted to being Covid "vaccine" injured & refused to discriminate on entry to his concerts based on "vaccine" status. They even admit the reasoning in the explanation!
English
@ZackKorman @rez0__ Im assuming if he had the user database he likely had the emails of the users. It would have been better to email all of the users that there is a vuln that isnt being patched before disclosing the vuln itself. I probably would have just tried harder to contact the org
English
Security people: This behavior is completely unacceptable.
I don't care that you sent a few emails and got ignored. You don't get to drop this info publicly and put these users at greater risk.
He's been called out by multiple people (@rez0__) and is doubling down. Not cool.

@GayBearRes Also I think Brian Riedl has about as much insight into GOP politics today as David French and Bill Kristol. It’s not 2000 anymore.
English
@GayBearRes You can be a great person and an ineffective or ill timed politician. Cornyn is disliked because of his support for gun control bills (as a TX Sen!) that had no benefit to the public for seemingly nothing in return. Both parties are done with compromise without real results
English
This is a fantastic explainer and it’s worth pointing out that Republican voters who know better never take accountability for this turn.
It’s always Obama’s fault for not playing fair with Mitt Romney.
Republican voters then became blameless victims for every action afterwards

This Texas Senate primary is exhibit A for "why don't Republicans elect thoughtful conservatives like Ben Sasse any more." Ken Paxton's entire appeal is that he's wildly corrupt, nasty, cruel, and hyper-partisan - which to GOP primary voters means "tough" and "owns the libs." Cornyn is certainly no Ben Sasse, but he is a very conservative, effective, pro-Trump senator who is nonetheless being abandoned by GOP primary voters because he's insufficiently willing to be a corrupt, performative, blowhard - which makes him "squishy" (although Cornyn is now dabbling in it to keep up with Paxton, alas). The problem is not that GOP primary voters do not care about competence, ethics, morality or Christian grace - it’s that so many of them actively distrust those traits as "weak" and "squishy.” After all, someone with a conscience may limit their Trump sycophancy, like Ben Sasse did. And that’s how good people like Sasse get chased out of GOP politics.
