Some Lessons learned from the tabletop exercise of continuing our top-tier #vulnerability #intelligence post "CVE" at #Cytidel
● We still have capability to monitor different Social media platforms and trusted expert sources for vulnerability info impacting products
● Collection of News, blogs, CSIRT updates are still fit to serve purpose
● Following vendor feeds directly is a big win as with sourcing info from primary source
Thank you to @Nonilex. This thread is the most detailed and alarming account of #covert #infosec breaches perpetrated by #DOGE “engineers” (#hackers) that I have read. We are very fortunate that a brave internal #Whistleblower at #NLRB made the report public even after he received personal threats. It reminds me of the movie “Enemy of the State” (1998) starring Will Smith. In both that fictional case and in the current DOGE #intelligence #threat, the technological power of nation states is used, under #ColorOfLaw, to coverup criminal behavior. There are also alarming indications of #Russia participating in stealing or receiving data that was covertly exfiltrated from the agency. We are watching the greatest #intelligence operation against the US as it is happening. https://masto.ai/@Nonilex/114342396149660044

"We've seen Russian threat actors do things like this on US government systems," said one #threat #intelligence researcher…. That analyst, who has extensive experience hunting nation - #StateSponsored #hackers, reviewed the #whistleblower's technical claims.
"The difference is, they [DOGE] were given the keys to the front door," the researcher continued.
"So why is a real “thinking” AI likely impossible? Because it’s bodiless. It has no senses, no flesh, no nerves, no pain, no pleasure. It doesn’t hunger, desire or fear. And because there is no cognition — not a shred — there’s a fundamental gap between the data it consumes (data born out of human feelings and experience) and what it can do with them"
We need to stop pretending AI is intelligent – here’s how

Crows can recognize geometric regularity

la confiance est la base de coopération; la crise de confiance cause un manque de coopération entre nations et individus
les alliances souffrent; les pays se défont en région; les syndicats nationaux, en guildes locales
les gens qui ignorent qui ils sont, et qui ont de la difficulté à savoir ce qui est réel, recherchent des valeurs sures
fanatisme religieux, politique, et scientifique; dictatures et oligarchies profitent du climat de méfiance
la technologie développée jusqu'ici était une extension du corps et des sens physiques
l'IA est une extension du mental et des facultés (apprentissage, raisonnement, prise de décision, etc.) associées depuis toujours à la nature humaine *et* celle des individus
l'origine de la crise de confiance est une crise d'identité: si des machines apprennent, raisonnent, décident par elles-mêmes, qu'est-ce qui reste de la nature humaine et individuelle?

And ... academic life goes on: in the discipline of bilingual education, Google Scholar counted these as citation number 615 of mine, in the abstract and methods sections of a paper by University of Valencia authors: "Data were collected by means of a questionnaire adapted from McCarty (2012a; 2012b)."

Curiosity: The neglected trait that drives success via BBC [Shared]
On 7 January 1918 at New York’s Hippodrome, the incredible illusionist Harry Houdini unveiled one of his most famous tricks – the vanishing elephant – in front of thousands of spectators.
The beast in question, Jennie, reportedly weighed 10,000 pounds (4,536kg). She raised her trunk in greeting, before a stagehand led her into a huge cabinet and closed the doors behind them. After a dramatic drum roll, the doors reopened – and the cabinet was now empty. To the thousands of spectators, it seemed that she had vanished into thin air.
How could Houdini have managed to hide such an enormous animal? No one at the time could provide a definitive explanation of what had happened, though there is one predominant theory.
You know the expression "#Intelligence is knowing that a #tomato is a fruit, #wisdom is knowing not to put tomatoes in a fruit salad"?
This statement says intelligence is about knowing facts, and wisdom is about applying knowledge.
That's wrong on so many levels, and it's been bothering me for a while now. So time for a good old-fashioned #rant.
