My college alt country band opened for Afroman in 2013 at the largest self suspended concrete dome in north America. It was a frat charity fundraiser. Forever my GOAT

Afroman won a jury verdict clearing him of wrongdoing in a lawsuit filed by police who raided Afroman's home, then sued him after they claimed he defamed them by ridiculing them on social media billboard.com/pro/afroman-tr…

tl;dr normie to big stinky nerd translator
I'm going to share something embarrassing, but this is true. I have found a good usage of AI (for me, at least).
I'm a big stinky nerd and I have a hard time understanding what people are saying to me. I am an extremely explicit communicator. I usually say exactly what I mean (for better or worse). I get very confused when people imply something, or lean heavily on emotional phrasing, to implicitly communicate.
I have been unironically using AI to explain what people are saying to me. I'll detail the conversation to the best of my ability if it was communicated verbally, if it was online I copy-paste my message and the persons response (or comment). The silly AI slop robot then translates what the person says into explicit communication for me so I understand better.
Basically, the dumb ass slop machine robot is better at understanding humans than me. Sometimes I have zero idea what someone is talking about or trying to convey.

@KyleClark @MarcSallinger slaughterhouses are truly evil
so many workers have experienced amputations, all undergo significant stress that will lead to PTSD

@SenatorSlama wtf are you talking about
american ranchers and their factory farms are actively causing dust bowl conditions, it is why this area was so ripe for fire
English
It’s easy to shrug this off if you’re unfamiliar with Western NE, but the area burned is the size of Rhode Island. The fire destroyed grasses anchoring the Sandhills and the only food for thousands of cattle. Nightmare scenario for the Great Plains.
Dust Bowl-level destruction.

.@tommyhamilton is the guitarist/vocalist in Joe Russo's Almost Dead and the Tom Hamilton Band. He’s also the host of the new ‘Goin' Down the Road’ show on the SiriusXM Grateful Dead Channel.
Now, Tom is here to set you new Dead Heads right with another round of live Dead selects in 'A Beginner's Guide To the Grateful Dead Live' Volume 2. Ranging from '68 to '89, these hitters might be just what you need to get on the bus. gd.lnk.to/BGGDV2

Hey @vxunderground,
Your post is really well crafted/said - I mean in a good way. When you said you've accomplished everything you ever wanted with malware, that's well said. Like, not that everything that can be accomplished is done — there are still new interesting things to explore and we see them occasionally.
But the truth is there are not so many things released when we compare it with like 5 years back - much less things that remained unexplored and are still interesting.
I think you should just do what you would like to do the most. The key to sharing super cool stuff and new techniques is doing what we love 💙 - Switching to defense is probably not the right shift you'd be happy with.
You already answered yourself with how you ordered the options. So my recommendation is option 2 (kernel mode) and 4 (different platforms). Both are very promising with lots of opportunities.
Whatever you pick next, I am sure it's gonna be fire and we will all love it and benefit/learn from that 🔥 🚀
English
I want to share something. I don't expect anyone to care. I just want to scream into the void.
I've accomplished everything I've ever wanted to do with malware. There isn't really a malware thingy that's popped up that I haven't seen or done. My malware code repository of stuff I've written dates back to like, 2009. I've released dozens upon dozens of never before seen (at least publicly) malware snippets and ideas.
I'm standing at this weird cross road where I'm standing at the peak and I'm kind of looking around like ???. What do I do now?
Options:
1. Keep finding new stuff for usermode Windows malware
2. Venture outside usermode to kernel mode malware
3. Switch focus, focus on initial access or stager stuff, not final payload
4. Switch focus, focus outside Windows to different platforms
5. Switch to defense, develop ways to detect malware
6. ???
There is always more to learn and do. But, I've been climbing vertically for like, 20 years, and in order to keep climbing I need to find a different path.

@solllin Yes, but the point is that they don’t tell you how many tokens are on pro. This is by design

Here’s what should bother you even more: Check Claude’s pricing page. API pricing? Crystal clear. $5/MTok input, $25/MTok output. Consumer plan pricing? “More usage.” “5/20x more usage.” More than what? They never say. It’d be trivially easy to put “X tokens per month” on that page. They do it for the API. They choose not to for subscriptions. That’s not an oversight. That’s a strategy. Undefined limits = unlimited flexibility to quietly adjust the ceiling downward. And you’d never know because there was never a number to compare against. You can’t accuse someone of moving the goalposts when they never told you where the goalposts were. That’s the whole point.

Anthropic just pulled the oldest trick in SaaS pricing. I pay $200/mo for Claude Max. My limits have been noticeably worse this past week. Now they announce 2x off-peak usage for two weeks. Sounds generous. But here’s what actually happens: limits quietly drop, a temporary 2x makes the reduced limit feel normal, the promo ends, and you’re left at a baseline lower than where you started. You just didn’t notice the downgrade because the 2x absorbed the transition. These AI plans are massively subsidized. The raw compute behind a heavy user costs multiples of the subscription price. Every move like this is the subsidy quietly correcting. Very sneaky, Anthropic.

@SiobhanV74297 @Lincolnabe123 Bad news buddy, the guy that played with Bobby and Mickey for 10 years and Billy for 5, is going to play Tiger.

@eRightoff @Lincolnabe123 Yeah, I’m just not including John Mayer in that category.

It should be reserved for the very best guitarists who appreciate what a treasure Tiger is to the world.
Give it to John Mayer for a few gigs. 🌹🌹🌹✌️

@SiobhanV74297 @Lincolnabe123 You have no idea what you’re talking about, the point of family guitars collective is to put storied guitars in the hands of many worthy players and played to as many people as possible. Have you even seen their collection and videos? lol
English
@eRightoff @Lincolnabe123 It is way more likely to continue to be played by Derek Trucks.
English
@eRightoff Not everyone knows who either of these people are.

For anyone who didn't know already, Derek Trucks was a member of The Allman Brothers Band and is probably the best living slide guitarist right now. This is awesome.
