it's incredible how if you put this entire dialog into the Left Behind series, it would basically work, but instead it's just IRL MN
"Sir! This is a warning!" the agent yelled as he punched the man's vehicle window. "Stop f—king following us! You are impeding operations! This is the United States federal government!" "I live over here," the driver explained. "I got to get to my house." "This is your warning!" the officer exclaimed. "I serve the Lord; go to church," the resident replied. "I will arrest you!" the officer threatened. "Don't make a bad decision," another agent warned. "I serve the Lord," the driver repeated. "Not a draft-dodging coward." "Let these people go to church," the driver added. "Let these people serve the Lord and worship." "You're not going to like the outcome of this, sir," the first officer said. "I guarantee that... Did you not learn from what just happened [when Renee Good was killed]?" "Learn what?" the driver asked. "I serve the Lord, not a draft-dodging coward. I can't believe you'd take orders from a draft dodger."

Private inference
When you use an AI service, you’re handing over your thoughts in plaintext. The operator stores them, trains on them, and–inevitably–will monetize them. You get a response; they get everything.

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."

The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"

"Learned what?" she asks

The latest version of the TPM specification is out! And I’m really excited about it!
Attesting to the TPM’s Firmware
Murphy’s Law says: Anything that can go wrong will go wrong. Unfortunately, TPMs fall into the category of “anything.”

New year to-do list:

1. Remember to write 2024 instead of 2023
2. Read about another person “discovering” TPM Genie attacks against use cases that never bothered with that threat model research.nccgroup.com/2018/03/09/t...

BitLocker's reliance on a TPM for security is its own downfall in this specific exploit.
