Received ANOTHER phishing attempt via phone call, from some guy pretending to be from my bank. It's kinda fun to fuck with them a little though just to hear what they can come with on-the-fly. The guy was saying something about a fraud transaction in the metaverse at some point, lol. Then when I asked him for his name, he said that his name "was" so-and-so, not "is"... c'mon man, get your shit together!

When they started to ask for PI, I told them that I was gonna call back the bank and confirm that the call was legit. He didn't like that and was trying SO hard to keep me on the line lmao. Anyway, called up my bank and they told me it was fraud and that they've noticed a recent uptick in fraud calls, so keep an eye out y'all 😉

I am so glad these are back in stock. At $400 for a prebuilt, this is … well out of the price range of "buy one in case I need a backup for my existing, working keyboard" but if you're in the market for a split, staggered, programmable, low-profile mechanical keyboard, this is kinda the only game in town right now and as a user of its predecessor (the cepstrum) I recommend Keebio extremely highly

I just...what the fuck is happening? How is Anthropic controlling the narrative so well? Even considering that some influencers are getting paid, the sheer consistency is astounding

Search Engine starts thr episode with a disclaimer—Anthropic is an advertiser but they don't get a say in production.

Which, sure. Fine.

But then they repeat Anthropic's story, the story they've been telling the press for months, beat for beat—the "study" that showed it's AI "knew" it was being tested. That they don't know how it works and it's scary and blah blah.

Search Engine doesn't bother to mention that Anthropic has been criticized by experts for these studies and their claims.

Red background. Guy climbing a wall. Search Engine the origins of Anthropic.

Back in January I was looking around for some positive "pro-AI" analysis of the ethics of the problem <https://mastodon.social/@glyph/115908558259725802> and it looks like I finally got what I wanted: <https://types.pl/@wilbowma/116247527449271232>

I definitely don't think I'm fully convinced, but there's more than enough here to sit with for a while and consider. It's such a relief that someone is taking the ethical question *seriously* though.

#graffiti

Graffiti on a support wall under an overpass that reads: What kind of paint are you using to paint over this? Because if it is latex, it's probably way too cold for it. You want good adhesion, you need like at least 40°-45°. Maybe wait till it warms up a little. I mean, what's the big rush? Like, I'm in a rush now, but our situations are different. You can tell from the photo that previous graffiti was painted over many time with slightly different colors of grey with the latest cover up (that was written over with the above text) showing bubbles and ripples in the paint from using the wrong paint at the wrong temperature.

By ignoring the "master" part in the quote it is reduced to something one can cutesily brush aside: But it's not about appropriating someone's screwdriver. It's about whether you think you can appropriate his torture device.

Audre Lorde's "The master's tools will never dismantle the master's house." is not just a statement about a tool being tainted by its origin. It's about what kind of tool a "master" would create: Whips. Chains. Violent suppression.

That's the meaning: You cannot just take tools whose purpose and politics is dominance and violence and "make them liberatory". This goes deeper than "just" embedded politics or lofty talks about ethics, it comes down to what kind of relations you believe do and should and must not structure the world.

Hard to read this as anything other than a torpedo directly under the waterline of FedRAMP's credibility

https://www.propublica.org/article/microsoft-cloud-fedramp-cybersecurity-government

The program’s layers of review, which included an assessment by outside experts, were supposed to ensure that service providers like Microsoft could be entrusted with the government’s secrets. But ProPublica’s investigation — drawn from internal FedRAMP memos, logs, emails, meeting minutes, and interviews with seven former and current government employees and contractors — found breakdowns at every juncture of that process. It also found a remarkable deference to Microsoft, even as the company’s products and practices were central to two of the most damaging cyberattacks ever carried out against the government. FedRAMP first raised questions about GCC High’s security in 2020 and asked Microsoft to provide detailed diagrams explaining its encryption practices. But when the company produced what FedRAMP considered to be only partial information, program officials did not reject Microsoft’s application. Instead, they repeatedly pulled punches and allowed the review to drag out for five years. And because federal agencies were allowed to deploy the product during the review, GCC High spread across the government as well as the defense industry. By late 2024, FedRAMP reviewers concluded that they had little choice but to authorize the technology — not because their questions had been answered or their review was complete, but on the grounds that Microsoft’s product was already being used across Washington.
