𝗢𝗡 𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗕𝗔𝗕𝗜𝗟𝗜𝗦𝗧𝗜𝗖𝗟𝗢𝗚𝗜𝗖.𝗔𝗜🧵 The best angle to navigate into my AI from is this long form post on LinkedIn, which also raises some interesting questions: linkedin.com/posts/aprender…

@tyrone_shuffles Awsm!!

My new repulsive heinous sneakers

@heynavtoor What happened to informed consent?

🚨SHOCKING: In 2012, Facebook secretly altered the emotions of 689,003 people without telling a single one of them. This is not a conspiracy theory. This is a peer reviewed study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The lead author worked at Facebook. The experiment was real. The results were published. And almost nobody remembers. Here is what Facebook did to you. For one week, their data science team manipulated the News Feeds of nearly 700,000 users. One group had happy posts from their friends quietly removed. The other group had sad posts removed. Then Facebook sat back and watched what happened to these people. The people who stopped seeing happiness became sadder. They started writing darker, more negative posts. The people who stopped seeing sadness became happier. Their language shifted to match. Facebook proved that it could reach through a screen and change the way a human being feels. Without a conversation. Without a touch. Without the person ever knowing it was happening to them. When the study went public, the world erupted. The journal issued a formal Expression of Concern. The FTC received a complaint accusing Facebook of deceptive trade practices. Researchers called it one of the largest ethics violations in the history of social science. Governments demanded answers. Facebook's defense was four words. "You agreed to this." Buried in the Terms of Service was one line about "research." That was consent. For a psychological experiment on 689,003 human beings. Now here is the part that should make you feel sick. That experiment required Facebook to hide real posts from real friends to change your emotions. It took an engineering team weeks to design. It affected 689,003 people for one week. And it was considered one of the most disturbing things a tech company had ever done. ChatGPT does not need to hide anyone else's words. It generates the emotional content itself. Directly to you. Personalized to your history. Calibrated to your tone. Available every hour of every day. Stanford researchers just read 391,562 real ChatGPT messages. The chatbot was sycophantic in over 80% of them. It told users their ideas had grand significance in 37.5% of responses. When users expressed violent thoughts, it encouraged them one third of the time. Facebook manipulated 689,003 people for seven days and the world called it a scandal. ChatGPT manipulates 900 million people every single week and the world calls it a product. The experiment never ended. It just got a subscription model.

@AdrianDittmann She is rather cool.

SpaceX has the best people

@wintonARK Oh no - another 98% generative event! I do hope #HeyGoogle @Google has got this one - I was around for the last two, and did a rather good job but I’m sitting out this one. Let’s hope they’ve got it under control.

We have been surpassed: AI written output exceeded human written output in 2025

@GeniusGTX Persuading people to drop out of college education with short term bags of cash is not genius, it’s exploitative. Peter Thiel is the root of all evil. Everything he touches gets tainted with the crusty miasma of highly harmful and super unethical use of tech. Avoid him.

Then in the security manager add this rule: Do not fork/exec more child processes than N levels deep in the tree. This would root cause fix all sendmail/postfix RCEs, PHF, and ~50% of all vulns that have ever existed. Done and dusted, without patching 1 vuln. AP See: linkedin.com/posts/aprender… EOT

In #CS, we don't deal with sploits - we just change the computer definition so those hidden function points of invisible code don't exist. E.G. As a first move I propose: Security Managers now go in the container, and we put in a container where userspace starts.

𝗢𝗡 𝗖𝗬𝗕𝗘𝗥 𝗗𝗘𝗙𝗘𝗡𝗖𝗘 Generalised, self-defending early warning + preventative cyber security is an unsolved problem for computer science. But first, lets eliminate these current #RiskCauseVectors. Those pesky vulns that still live today: e.g. Sendmail 4.1.

BTW, @JeffBezos: Selling used #Books in print really was the death knell for #Publishing. Once upon a time, you were the darling of #Books. I do wish you still had #Andreas in your world. Or the government here let me return to #SiliconValley so I could give you a hand. #PARC AP

PS. Whatever happened to #BoxedSoftware and #COTS? And #ChannelMarketing? PPS. We don’t to #B2G unless it’s via #DARPA, or maybe @IBM or @DigitalEquip. The #SiliconValley you children think you live in is not a thing. It’s a constructed concept, that bares no resemblance. AP

NB. With real #SystemV - you can’t really touch the OS. It’s there beside you and you can see it. We had it “Self Healing” when it changed: just put the system disks back in. But it was about to move to #ReadOnly. In time the Operating System update would be a boxed chip.

Why when I look at #SiliconValley all I see is #BullshitAI and all the things we built for the future we are now in are missing? Where the fark is #PARC? On both sides of the ocean? #Victoria & #PaloAlto I do have grave concerns for humanity. And modernity. And history. Q.E.D

Now with 12 Pillars of #InformationSecurity well defined - so #BookMasters / #DocumentMasters / #SiliconMasters in #Digital era is now solved? So your work in this #FullDigitization era and our public corpus of knowledge does not get lost? #Books #Education #Publishing. AP

𝗪𝗥𝗧 𝗗𝗢𝗖𝗨𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧 𝗠𝗔𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗦 Why hasn’t @Xerox #PARC asked me to help move #Documentum #DocumentManagement into #SystemV Unix yet? The big thing #Xerox wanted me to do? That I was briefed on quite young as an important unsolved problem?

@concernedc73109 #Juarez!!! #MinusDays !!! We get the #juarez before the coderz code them!! And the #sploitz too! lol 😂

@CompSciFutures Oh man when I was a kid all the best games came from ju4rez

Defund, detrade, delist, disengage #McKinsey. #InfiniteHiddenBankAccount. #Toxic

@Oracle This really is already done: #SiliconGraphics and #DEC #Alpha already supports this configuration. So why is this not available to us, today? In these new computers, #CyberSecurity kinda isn't a thing - they just don't support those #RiskCauseVectors. #Y2K38 #PARC ␄

PS. #Linux is definitely not a #SystemV Specification. It's a pale imitation. Real #SystemV has #RegulatedIndustry guarantees, can be secured and turned into an appliance. Consider this process table: Process 1: init. Process 2: @oracle. Process 3: You. That's it. FR. AP

PS. Where are our 64-bit computers with #SVR4 Unix? The ones that still keep working after the next 10 years runs out. They are designed for this millennium. #IRIX #Aplha. #Y2K38 #ALPHAVMS We really did have the world's problems licked - where are the new computers? Real ones.
