Literally just paying for a compliance check mark. Huge shocker we see so many breaches.

It's 2026, and highly educated, very intelligent, experienced cybersecurity professionals are still requesting penetration testing conducted within a 2-hour window each evening, highest risk category (potential loss to human life), and not whitelisting.

I wish this were an infrequent occurrence, but ChatGPT lies EVERY time now. And Grok does so ~80% of the time. Is it just me, or has AI gone from bad, to worse, to unusable in just the last year?

Thrilled to share a proud family moment! Last week, our son Riley graduated from Air Force BMT at Lackland AFB and is now officially an Airman. Aim High. Fly, Fight, Win. #ProudParent #USAF

I rant about this all of the time (for those that know me), but seriously... AI has a LONG way to go before we can trust a word it says.

CIS Benchmarks: Ensure that storage buckets are not publicly or anonymously accessible, including object listing. AWS: Prevent anonymous listing. GCP: Avoid granting roles like Storage Object Viewer to allUsers/allAuthenticatedUsers.

But hey, maybe they know better than the entire industry? Here's what actual experts say: OWASP: Ensure cloud storage is not publicly accessible or listable. Disable anonymous listing.

I will be replacing my @Ecobee thermostat. I reported an open cloud bucket to them - 7,060 files exposed. Nothing sensitive yet, so I rated it a Medium risk. They said they do not plan to fix it. It's still wide open.

This Memorial Day, we pause to honor the courageous men and women who gave their lives for our nation’s freedom. "The cost of freedom is always high, but Americans have always paid it." – John F. Kennedy Their selfless sacrifice reminds us to cherish the liberties we hold dear and to live with purpose, gratitude, and unity. Let’s keep their families in our hearts and strive to uphold the values they fought for. "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God." – Matthew 5:9 #MemorialDay #GratefulForOurHeroes #FreedomAndFaith

Trust in AI is going to be the cause of so many deaths in the near future - that is my prediction.

Don’t get me, I use AI on an almost hourly basis at this point. But to quote General Beringer, I wouldn't trust this overgrown pile of [LLMs] any further than I can throw it.

Great illustration of the danger of AI. I asked ChatGPT how to prevent a carbon rotor pump from sticking on occasion. It said, among other things, to oil it.
