Ob dieses Mal den Kindern auch ein Märchen vorgelesen wurde? Oder war das Märchen für die anderen?

Als Themis den Satz '[Dominique] Pelicot said of Dogan’s appeal: “I think it is indecent.”' las, schenkte sie sich bestimmt erstmal einen doppelten Whisky ein.

🍽️ Heute fuhr zum letzten Mal ein richtiger Speisewagen im Eurocity von Berlin nach Prag. Ich bin froh und traurig zugleich. Froh, diese Epoche der Reisekultur noch erlebt zu haben. Traurig, dass sie vorbei geht.

I’m looking forward to the day when an LLM, out of sheer frustration, tells a "vibes coder" that "the code works on my machine" and that it’s a skill problem. That day, be afraid, very afraid, of the machines 😳

10:39 PM: the fog rises, real fog that wraps around our legs and trips us when we are not paying attention. With the sky sitting on our shoulders,

A square pastel drawing of a foggy night scene. The sky is a uniform light grey from the streetlights shining and diffusing through the fog. There is dark foliage framing the top corners of the drawing., and faded trees in the distance.

Been thinking a lot lately about how many fresh college grads are probably going to wind up joining the cybercrime community thanks to AI's impact to entry-level jobs, particularly in IT. We've spent years telling everyone we had this huge shortage of qualified IT workers, and that those who pursue a career in cyber have a promising future. Whoops.

And then I was tagged in this LinkedIn post, which seems to agree.

Financial Times recently had a good video story on how AI is affecting the job market

THE FRAUD ECONOMY IS HIRING. The IT & Security Economy Is Firing.
© GK8 by Galaxy (Nasdaq: GLXY) just found underground job postings where
cybercriminals are recruiting professional voice impersonators to scam U.S.
crypto executives. Salary: up to $20K a month. Benefits: anonymity, flexible
hours, and all the deepfake tech you can plug in.
& Meanwhile, in the "above ground” economy? Tech CEOs are announcing
record profits... and mass layoffs of highly skilled defenders who might've
stopped exactly this kind of attack.
We've created a bizarre paradox:
& Criminals are hiring voice talent with curated data sets and Al-driven tools.
® Companies are firing IT and security talent, leaving execs more exposed than
ever.
The result? The underground looks like LinkedIn with fewer buzzwords, and the
surface looks like a Fortune 500 boardroom congratulating itself while its phone
lines are wide open.
J» This isn't phishing emails anymore. These are personalized deepfake calls
targeting the people who hold crypto custody keys, legal authority, and access
to the financial core. If you think your MFA and spam filters cover it, you're
already on mute.
We've commoditized the defenders while adversaries are professionalizing the
attackers. And when the “shadow HR department” offers $20K/month to pretend
to be a CFO, guess who wins that recruiting race?

Below that is the screenshot of an email: "Professor Fasano, Like Hamlet, I have hesitated to act for reasons I cannot articulate even to myself. May I have an extension on the Hamlet paper?"

@kid37 Aber in der Hinsicht sind die modernen Zeiten dann praktischer: Anleitungen und so gibt es nur im Internet - aber im Browser kann man die Schrift einfach hochskalieren! Wenigstens das Problem gelöst 🙂

Good morning! If you’re on mastodon.social (or another server running nightly builds) you can begin quoting posts in your posts (quooting?) starting today. Remember, you control whether you can be quoted, and can always retract your post from a specific quote. And you can quote me on that!
