Update 2026: @RevClinics co-founder/chief strategy officer Gregory Ryan Ansin's company suffers collapse & his identity shifts again: - IRS 2021 tax return under audit - $20 million in the hole - SEC Form D 2019 middle names changed to "Ryan" pdf.secdatabase.com/2448/000…
🚨 How not to run a business.. a thread. Revolutionary Clinics was once #4 on the @Inc 5000, with 33,000% growth. Three years later: $10M in debt, unpaid rent, lawsuits, and a court-appointed receiver. Let’s unpack how it fell apart for co-founder G. Ryan Ansin. 👇

Any form of security through obscurity is fully over. This barely worked as a method with humans, but just simply is over in a world of autonomous systems that will look through every crevice and try every permutation of attack possible. As a result, years and years of legacy enterprise infrastructure will need to be upgraded, security practices modernized, data pipelines cleaned up, access controls better managed, and much more. Agents will help on the defensive side because they can both accelerate this work and equally simulate the risk vectors. But there’s a long road ahead to prepare for this future. This is also partially why diffusion timelines will take longer than some realize.
a lot of old software was protected by “exploiting this would be an unreasonable amount of work” we have invented a machine that does unreasonable amounts of work anyway how’s the patch backlog

Agent swarms for cyber defense is about to be one of the biggest categories in AI. We are going to have agents reviewing our code and infra, testing every permutation of risk, processing gobs of data, and more. Security is one of the best use-cases for swarms because it’s an obvious area where more compute in equals more value out. There’s a wide range of testing that people can never get around to - or at least quickly enough - that agents have no problem going after. Going to be a wild time in cyber.
Big news: Enclave is now open to everyone, and today we're launching Threat Feed. Enclave is an autonomous security team for AI-native companies: a fleet of security agents that test your code, cloud, and infrastructure the way an attacker would. We built it on a simple belief. Attackers already use swarms of cheap AI agents to probe for weaknesses around the clock, so defenders need agents of their own to keep up. A small team without a security function should be able to defend like a large one. Threat Feed is the newest piece: a live feed of new vulnerabilities, checked against your stack, so when the next big disclosure drops you know whether it affects you. This week made the case. On Wednesday, PHP2Shell, LiteLLM and Railway all disclosed security issues. PHP2Shell had sat in PHP's code for over a decade until one researcher using frontier AI turned it into a working exploit in about a week. Cloudflare saw thousands of exploit attempts in the 10 hours before disclosure and millions since. Starting today, anyone can sign up. Try it free for 14 days: enclave.ai

Fact.
21st century empires won’t need gunboats – they’ll just need to supply the AI running your defense network. When your national security relies on foreign code, military supremacy becomes digital colonialism. From the recent @RestIsPolitics podcast with @RoryStewartUK.

To repair is to reimagine. Sasaki Yōhinten, the Sashiko Gals, and Brown Tabby Works take classic Polo pieces and—through traditional Japanese textile craft—transform them into one-of-a-kind works of personal history, made exclusively for #PoloFest.

Fact.
Lula vs. Bolsonaro: I was held in solitary confinement for 1,901 days for revealing the truth about the U.S. government's killings and espionage, including against Brazil and its industries. Out of power, Lula fought for my freedom. In power, Lula discussed my persecution with Pope Francis, who decided to meet with my family and offer help. After my release, Lula and I met in Rome to mourn the Holy Father's passing. Lula was kind to my children and asked for nothing in return. In contrast, Jair and Flávio Bolsonaro did nothing and said nothing. Yet without the ability to say no to Washington and Tel Aviv, there can be no domestic policy, only foreign instructions. Those orders are always the same: "Expand our theft of resources and wages, and keep your mouths shut about us murdering children." Sellouts will surrender everything in exchange for a cut, even their own tongues.

Given the current vulnerability apocalypse, is there anyone left who thinks holding assets in cryptocurrency - where mistaken transactions are irreversible - is still a good idea?

What do you say to your family when you don’t know if you’ll ever see them again? In February 2022, he told his wife and children the war had begun. Then he left as Russian forces advanced towards Kyiv, unsure what the coming hours would bring. This is President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Before politics, he built a successful career in Ukrainian television as a writer, producer and performer, even portraying a president on screen. In 2019, he was elected President of Ukraine. Three years later, Russia launched its full-scale invasion. Sitting down with him was surreal and an enormous responsibility. It was a rare chance to hear his account of the first hours of the war and the decisions that followed. We discussed things like: How he found out Russia had invaded. Why he refused an offer to evacuate Kyiv. The 64km Russian military convoy advancing towards the capital. How Russian forces tried to capture a key airport. His account of discovering hundreds of bodies after Russian occupation. What he believes it will take to end the war. But I also wanted to understand how he’d been coping. One of my first questions was simply, “How are you doing?” His answer was: “It’s hard.” He spoke about meeting parents whose children had been killed. Some, he explained, simply ask him for a hug. And as he spoke, there were tears in his eyes. Whatever your views on the war or the decisions made by those involved, this is a rare opportunity to hear his account of events that have changed millions of lives. Because behind every map, every headline and every political decision, there are real people. Out now on all platforms ❤️👊🏾 (President Zelenskyy was recorded in Ukrainian and dubbed in English.)

Can't repost this @X. Guess it's cut and paste day.

However, let's recognize @elonmusk's bravery. Meddling in Europen politics and attacking the EU itself when you want regulatory privileges and frequency permissions is a bold business strategy.
More reporting suggesting that Musk does indeed have his finger on Starshield's operability. Quite a lot of power for a ketamine-addicted trillionaire in bed with hostile foreign regimes. You might even say this endangers U.S. national security. wsj.com/world/trump-called-m…

No, @elonmusk, the U.S. stopped funding Ukraine last year. In fact, U.S. companies make money on American weapons for which we Europeans pay. The more you meddle in our politics and the more you play politics with your products, the more you damage your brand.
Replying to @elonmusk
And some of that US taxpayer money comes back through multiple laundry machines to fund political campaigns in America, which is why you see some politicians caring more about Ukraine than America!

You're right, @elonmusk. Someone has grown very rich off money flowing from Ukraine. I work in Starlink supply to Ukraine, so I see these numbers firsthand. Ukrainians bought 117,000 terminals in September alone (~$42M), plus monthly subscriptions for each one. And that's just official commercial imports. Not counting government contracts, donor-funded deliveries, direct orders from your website or grey imports. No laundry machines needed. It goes straight to SpaceX.
What’s actually going on in Ukraine is that there is a massive incentive difference between the elites and the people. The former have grown very rich off the hundreds of billions flowing to Ukraine, while the latter’s children are conscripted to die in trenches.

You have to adopt them as one. They're clearly bonded at the hip. And Derek has your back and your pants.
I looked them up and they appear to be at the Pima Animal Care Center (PACC) in Tucson, Arizona. If you adopt both of these dogs together — or any animal from this center — I will pay for a month's worth of pet food and help you find a good pair of pants. 24petconnect.com/PimaAdoptab…
