Oh, just sitting here remembering one week ago when our HackerU students were learning things like, "How to Break an AI: Adversarial Attacks, Jailbreaks, and Defenses That Actually Work" in Pavan Reddy's #BSidesNoVA workshop.

They grow up so fast 🥲

I'm going to be at BSides NoVA this Saturday, Oct 11th hanging out and assisting in the Breach Village.

Come by for demos, discussions, and challenges centered around Breaking and Entering and bypassing physical security.

(for those that follow me for my solarpunk and food and mutual aid content... uhhh... by trade I'm a hacker, burglar, and thief. So. Umm... Yeah.)

Anyhow. Come hang out!
