Websites are files on a computer. When you view a website, you are asking the computer to send you the files, then your browser shows them to you.
70% of the websites you see use PHP to make them interactive. So you can send things to the website too and it can respond. E.g. filling in a comment box and hitting 'post' adds the comment as a row to a spreadsheet.
PHP has a flaw in its code that allows anyone to gain control of the computer that has the website on it.
The organisation that provides PHP announced the vulnerability before a patch was available, meaning we're in a window where everyone knows about it (including baddies) but the good guys don't have an official solution.
Some are just turning off their websites and waiting for the solution. Others are trying to fix it themselves. General chaos and lots of stressed techies across literally the entire planet because this affects the entire internet.

my theory is that startups want brand people but don’t want to admit they need brand people, so they invent increasingly abstract job titles. meanwhile, the people they’re looking for aren’t applying to be a “narrative fairy”

So it looks like not only are these interview requests a phishing attempt, but the account itself is a fully fake reporter account, using a blue check to spam dozens of tech ppl
Be careful out there, folks!

It's actually worse than I thought -- this account *looks* like a real @business reporter, with a blue-check, shared Bloomberg articles and comments in their feed, and legit tech CEOs following them like @BrendanFoody.
But they don't have a LinkedIn, and Google search results return their own phishing tweets pretending to be reporter inquiries.
Look out and report accounts like @misterbosquez, everyone 😨

Excited to open source Sightmap!
Sightmap is a YAML spec + CLI that keeps a runtime map of your app. Views, components, requests, and memories, designed for agents to author and maintain. Every verification run gets smarter and burns fewer tokens.

What's the difference between good ol' human Session Replay (HSR) and Agentic Session Review (ASR)? HSR is pretty much Netflix. Hit play and watch. Rewind if you miss something.
ASR is different. Agents don't hit play. They ask a question, get a map of the whole visit, then zoom into just the part that answers it. No rewinding through 42 seconds to find the one moment that mattered.
In this post, @who_cayres and @jgw spell it out better than I ever could. Enjoy.

If you have built a digital product, you've probably watched a session replay. Turns out agents can do it _much_ better than humans.
@who_cayres and @jgw break down what makes it possible for agents to review sessions at scale, without burning through all your tokens. subtext.fullstory.com/blog/a…

Just worked w/ @CNN on a piece about why I wouldn't upload full financial docs (tax docs, statements, etc) to AI tools due to leakage & hacking risk.
I don't recommend connecting bank accounts to AI tools. It becomes a 1 stop shop for attackers looking to drain your accounts🤖💸

Really strongly recommend @fullstory
Have been amazing to work with and has great solutions for privacy!

Now for spotting AI voice clones in phone calls or robocalls:
- Celeb or politician impersonation: if you receive a call from a “politician” about voting/not voting/actions to take on Election Day that’s a good sign it’s a voice clone deepfake.
- Verbose: live AI voice clones hooked up to LLMs are typically overly verbose, they speak for way longer than normal humans do
- Long pauses: someone using an AI voice clone either has to deal with LLM latency causing long pauses if you interrupt or they have to attempt to use a voice clone tool to type their replies…both cause long awkward delays and pauses.
- Pretending to be a boss/someone who can tell you what to do: Does the slightly robotic voice telling you to wire money sound like your CFO? Verify authenticity of the request first.

Now let’s talk thru spotting AI deepfake videos:
- Glitchy mouth and teeth: do the mouth and teeth fall out of sync? Do you see large teeth when a mouth is closed for a split second?
- Lip sync issues: do the words match up with the mouth movements or are they out of sync?
- Blinking in slow motion, oddly or backwards: does it almost look like the person blinking is in rewind/blinking in reverse? Does the amount of blinking increase throughout the video significantly?
- Ragged breathing movements: does the person in the video look like they aren’t breathing in a natural cadence, that sometimes they go a while without taking a breath and then their chest rises dramatically multiple times to breathe?

Let’s start with how to spot AI generated photos in September 2024 (will change in the future), ask yourself:
- Shockingly unusual: Is the pic showing surprising actions for celebrities, politicians, or cultures?
- Body parts and clothes a bit off: Are body parts merged together? In the background of the pic, are there people without faces? Are the people wearing mismatched earrings or have jewelry like earrings embedded in skin (like in their forehead)?
- Airbrushed and Saturated: Does the picture look highly saturated, with airbrushing effects around edges? Is it somehow lit from all sides at once? Are there more colors than exist normally in a typical photo?
- Looking for Pity: is the photo an airbrushed picture of a child or solider holding up a sign asking for support, money, wishes, or likes/follows? Does it have incorrect spelling in odd ways?

Chatham House rules is generally used in conference halls, meetings, etc. where you're not speaking directly to a reporter but to everyone (including non-reporters) in the room and you want to make sure they don't attribute the info to you if they pass it along elsewhere.
