  1. That no one saw this inevitability when they helped social credit? Par.

    That no one saw this inevitability when they insisted on moving to short promotion? Par.

    That no one saw this inevitability when considering a token economy (cough) in the face of unilateral exhaustion? Par.

    #Par4TheCurse

    So again, enjoy, Alphabet/Google/Youtube -- you did this ENTIRELY to yourself. #ShortSighted 🪔

  3. I often hear people in tech complaining that the industry is oversaturated and they can't find a job but let's be real about this:

    The entry-level resume pile is oversaturated with people who have a theoretical degree or a paper cert but have never actually touched a terminal, built a home lab, or popped a box. HR departments are flooded with thousands of identical, low-effort applications.

    There is a catastrophic shortage of people who have a deeply ingrained offensive mindset, who understand networking down to the packet level, and who can look at a custom enterprise system and figure out how it fails.

    Regardless of whether you love or hate AI, we are in a high-stakes tech race where our adversaries are operating with zero ethical speed brakes, and Silicon Valley’s response is to gatekeep the very tools that could turn raw tech savvy students into elite defenders at scale.

    You can't even ask AI how to tweak a simple reverse shell without it panicking and saying "I can't help you hack the mAiNfRaMe and destroy the entire grid." As if the feds wouldn't be at some script kiddies door within minutes if they dared touch critical infrastructure or as if enterprise environments don't have robust EDR and network segmentation in place. They really act like APTs are asking AI how to learn ethical hacking, treating a simple Python script that is less than 10 lines of code like a piece of precision-engineered, state-sponsored cyber-weaponry designed to spin centrifuges out of control (Stuxnet 2.0).

    We're really shooting ourselves in the foot. Our adversaries aren't using Anthropic, ChatGPT, Gemini, etc. to learn how to make reverse shells or priv esc exploits for sandboxed CTFs to prepare for the field. They have AI pipelines that don't have guardrails and APTs that are already hacking into our telecom companies, healthcare networks, etc. Who is big tech really helping here? Certainly not us.

    Look, I am not really even the biggest fan of AI (and obviously not a fan of big tech) but if I can crunch 8 hours of learning down into 1 hour, why wouldn't I? I'll still spend the 8 hours learning some new concept without the force multiplier because this is what I am passionate about and what I am studying for but the amount of security theater I see from big tech absolutely gets on my nerves. In fact, I think because I have learned so much about cybersecurity is exactly why it annoys me that much more. Watching a multi-billion dollar AI panic over a 10-line Python socket connection feels like being treated like a child by someone who doesn't even understand basic syntax.

  11. Don't we have a shortage of qualified nurses, doctors and other medical staff? And don't we want to keep nursing a professional course to keep standards of care high? Who will explain to MAGA that government and businesses have different goals and MUST BE RUN DIFFERENTLY!

    And it's already 5 years behind BYD and their 3000hp EV.
    Ferrari has entered a race where the other team had a 10 year head start.

  15. Reform's press conference was a massive dog whistle to the racists amongst us...

    What happens to the British economy when Farage kicks out all people who have indefinite leave to remain especially the NHS? Who will fill the job vacancies as the UK has aging population.

  17. Dear IT industry,

    of all the info you add to the stickers on your memory bars or SSDs I am only interested in the capacity. It would be extremely nice if you could use a font larger than 4 pt for that information.

    Thank you!

    A use who has just taken a picture of her NVME SSD with her phone and zoomed into the picture to see wether that particular SSD is 1 TB or 2 TB.
