Using a deceased human’s likeness in jest like this is wack. Encouraging and rewarding a young person in this twisted act should not be normalized.

earth.com…is a sad cesspool of ads…fitting?

Maybe change the title to: “Everyone in Seattle (Everywhere?) Hates Microsoft’s AI”

I’ve thought about a future where all audio is recorded (public, home, work, etc.). If this thing is real, it would allow comms in this dystopian vision. Boo

…JavaScript or VS Code Extensions? (Or both)

The Kaspersky article says the hackers were focused on crypto wallets, env vars, and ssh keys, but what about .azure/cache-tokens.json, .aws/creds, .gcp/creds, etc.?

I got smooched by this mofo. Got an email from GitHub Sec saying a repo in my own account was deleted because of a known vuln.

My NX Console EXTENSION in VS Code was updated after the supply chain attack was initialized by the malicious actor.

The symptom, besides the email from GitSec, was all my terminals initialized prompted for sudo pw, because ~/.bashrc had sudo shutdown appended.

Oly Chit! This is a BIG deal! Sub-page citations…in-context RAG…built-in HTML UI…this is like the holy grail of deterministic text extraction. I’m trying this ASAP Rocky.

Then watch…AWS will fix it and not tell you at all. Similarly, I found that Azure Functions were saving secrets in plaintext in the SCM blade even though the Function App itself was using Key Vault References! I throughly documented the issue, reproduced it with fresh infra, filed a bug bounty, etc. Only to have Microsoft say “It’s the intended behavior” and “That’s not applicable for a bug bounty”, etc. Next month I checked the SCM area again…yeah, plaintext secrets were miraculously redacted. That’s the last time I hunt bugs for you MS!

It’s because this story hints at the concept of “Unmetered AI”. It can be easily hosted locally and run with a self-hosted LLM.

Wonder if Edison mentioned Nikola Tesla much in his writings?

Eh…everything but the Cloud Platform UI/UX/Usability front. GCP portal is a hot mess. It is far worse than Azure and slightly worse than AWS.

Ya know…you go once, drag your family to it, etc. It’s not a repeat excursion for locals. Without some serious interactive exhibit$, that attract schools of children, annually… doesn’t feel like a sustainable business model. Especially with that price tag. Maybe more of an add-on room to the Museum of History and Industry.

And a tad more risk
