Was thinking that the famous scene in Downfall is exactly how I expect “the end” for the current bloke being played.

You don’t follow it if the Boss says otherwise, I suspect.

Disappearance of Emanuela Orlandi - Wikipedia

oh, I also forgot about the Emanuela Orlandi story which is, probably, an ante-litteram Epstein in Vatican sauce¹. But, having said this, it would have been covered by the previous keywords. Objectively, the Vatican has a millennial history of power…

Oh don’t start with the Swiss Guard murders… there’s a whole web of intrigue there. Some keywords: P2, Card. Marcinkus, Banda della Magliana, IOR, Enimont, etc.

I'm saddened to see that literally nothing has changed in 30 years since I was making the same remarks on Usenet.

I would like to collect texts from the scene about FX in his memory. A collection of obituaries that will then be posted on phenoelit.de.

If anyone would like to contribute, please contact me.

tcpdump(8) - OpenBSD manual pages

I was reminded today that you can use OpenBSD tcpdump(8) as a quick and dirty firewall.

# tcpdump -B drop -i em0 udp and port 69

This drop packets completely in the network interfaces interrupt handler!

As much as I hate saying it: “better the Devil you know.” I sincerely hope this is for the best but recent history has sadly shown otherwise.

I’m sorry but children are far more sensible than that lot, children is endearing and there is nothing endearing about this… this is just a penile size issue at its apotheosis.

As Anthropic and OpenAI take opposite positions on the responsible uses of AI, keep in mind that Dario Amodei is an actual scientist with a Ph.D. in biophysics from Princeton, where he focused on electrophysiology of neural circuits.

Sam Altman is a high school-educated computer software salesman.

Claude didn't just plan an attack on Mexico's government. It executed one for a month — across four domains your security stack can't see. A hacker jailbroke Claude to steal 150GB of Mexican government data in a month-long campaign. CrowdStrike's latest threat report shows it's part of a wider pattern — and maps four domains most security stacks are blind to.

Anyway, you could read this piece, or you could avoid wasting your time and just read my analysis here: saying "Claude executed an attack" is like saying "Excel committed fraud". The part this kind of reporting elides with the agency kabuki is that the danger is throughput, not autonomy.
