A terrible waste
of copywriting milk shakes.
They poured your words out.

I have a similar dark humor. You know how comedians ask "is it too soon?" after a tragedy? You can end your punchlines that way too.

Oracle was a database company that turned into an enterprise applications company that turned into a cloud company that turned into an AI company, but has always been about the data. That's the key.

Okay. I *might* have jinxed it.

OpenAI Warns of Organized Use of AI Tools by Foreign Hackers
OpenAI's report exposes a concerning trend of hackers utilizing AI tools to streamline and enhance their malicious operations.

Key Points:

Adversaries are leveraging multiple AI systems for reconnaissance, planning, and execution.

New malicious AI tools like SpamGPT and MatrixPDF are emerging alongside known ones.

State-linked entities in Russia, China, and Korea are actively using AI for targeted attacks and surveillance.

AI is being integrated into established scam networks to produce convincing scams and investment schemes.

Cybersecurity defenses are increasingly vulnerable to AI-enhanced attacks, making detection more difficult.

OpenAI's recent report sheds light on the growing sophistication of cybercriminals as they incorporate artificial intelligence into their arsenal. Hackers are not just sticking to traditional methods; they are using AI for a range of operations including reconnaissance, malware production, and the execution of scams. Notable tools such as SpamGPT help bypass email security filters, while MatrixPDF can convert standard PDF files into harmful malware. The report also highlights that this trend follows previous findings where OpenAI had terminated multiple malicious AI operations linked to various foreign state actors.

Moreover, regional actors from Russia, Korea, and China have been effectively utilizing AI for targeted cyber attacks, showcasing a disturbing efficacy in their operations. For instance, Russian-speaking groups have reportedly used ChatGPT to generate remote-access tools and refine phishing messages targeting cryptocurrencies. Meanwhile, organized crime groups in regions such as Cambodia and Nigeria have exploited AI to enhance their scam operations, creating authentic-seeming conversations that lure in unsuspecting victims. The implications of these advancements illustrate a worrying escalation in the battle between cybersecurity measures and AI-fueled cybe…

Half an Oreo Halloween cookie with "happy bday" written across the cream part of the cookie.

Looks like a giant double stuff Oreo with the top removed. You know me so well.

I found the quote while reading "The Call to Unite: Voices of Hope and Awakening".

Timothy Shriver Delivers Hope and Healing in His New Book “The Call to Unite”

At the beginning of 2020, few could have imagined the loss, isolation and fear that so many people around the world have experienced—and are still facing—due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

If you can be anything, be a teacher. Whatever your job, your role, your place in this life... Choose to help others flourish.

Quote: “They understand that the way you get people to flourish is by recognizing their individuality, the great diversity in the depth of people’s talents, and by creating a mixed culture in schools that values the sciences, the arts, technology, and the driving force of individual passions... The real power is with the people. It’s getting people to share ideas, to collaborate, to work together to see future possibilities, and to bring them about through joint projects and through the support that comes from compassionate collaboration.” -Sir Ken Robinson

I'm a visual person who did not need to see this. Oh, gawd.

Getting ready for colder weather. Today was tilling ground, spreading seeds to overwinter, and hanging dried sunflower for the wild birds.

Dried sunflowers are hung around bird nests ahead of winter.

I don't know, but we'll get to the underpants of all of this soon enough.
