Microsoft's own research confirms something that was already pretty obvious: relying on a text generating machine to come up with answers erodes critical thinking, and is a method favoured by those who never liked doing critical thinking in the first place

Daniel is one of the best Sec ML researchers out there and he’s a great guy to boot. Awesome opportunity at GreyNoise to work with his team!
Hello friends, former coworkers, and other industry peeps.

I'm building a team at GreyNoise to do some really cool AI projects. You'd be supporting one tool we built (Sift, www.greynoise.io/blog/greynoi...) and developing more products, features, and tools to greatly empower cyber security teams.

Just posted my chat with Josh Kamdjou from Sublime Security… it’s an origin story type of interview that explains why he launched a new company in one of the most established cybersecurity categories: email security

Tl;dr: The incumbent email security platforms got stale
