Here are the leadership philosophies, and my ethos, I build teams around. This grouping has succeeded since 2004 in creating high-performing teams with minimal attrition. In no particular order: #leadership

How is the internet less private than in 2006, when the whole family shared one computer? Back then, the internet was weird, personal, and all of ours. So, we got your favorite meme legends back together to say it louder: What happened to the internet? 1/3

Been playing with Daybreak Blue from OpenAI (cybersecurity model) and our team @daypartai is having fun for sure. Functionally so much of ad fraud dips into cybersecurity work as these models keep evolving hoping we get specialized ones but this model is already awesome.

Lost my phone at the office and spent 30 minutes turning the place over. Find My was disabled by MDM. Out of ideas, I asked Claude how I could find it. It suggested tracking the Bluetooth signal strength, then wrote me a meter in about a minute. I walked around watching the number climb. Found it. Apparently you can just make the tool you need now. Code: github.com/ben-z/findphone

After 20 years chasing ransomware gangs for other people and organizations, I'm finally doing it doing it under my own company. Launching Arkem Cyber today. Not another IOC feed, not another framework, original research on the adversary, built for the humans who have to make the call. Also, I don't have a graphic designer, so forgive the logo. I made it myself, between getting this thing off the ground. If you're a security leader who's tired of dashboards that can't answer "so what do we do about it?", let's talk: arkemcyber.com #ThreatIntelligence #Ransomware #CyberSecurity

Models are not close. As a business strategy, this alarm is smart. They are currently ahead, and scaring everyone into a pause keeps them ahead. That's all this is. They have the lead, and they want to keep it.
BREAKING: Anthropic has urged for a global pause in AI development as artificial-intelligence models are nearing capability to improve without human intervention, per WSJ

I have all the love in the world for @edzitron, if you aren't subscribed to his newsletter at wheresyoured.at/ you should really remedy this.

This is an insane story. The DOGE whistleblower who said that login attempts were made to the NLRB from Russian IP addresses minutes after DOGE got access had his brake lines cut and photos of him walking his dog from a drone taped to his door after Musk attacked him on Twitter

This is the most sober and sobering analysis of AI investing that I have seen. The cannibalizing the passive flows in idices has been buzzing in my head for weeks now... teapawt.net/DarioCpx/status/206242…

Needed to pull out an important part of the interview. AI is often justified by comparing it to Amazon Web Services' ($57bn) or Uber's ($32bn) losses, when its costs/losses are hundreds of billions of dollars worse. There'll also be little useful infrastructure left behind.

Departments exist to manage risk. P&Ls exist to take calculated risk. If your departments are blocking P&Ls from moving, you've built a compliance machine not a business.
