Update on the ffmpeg vs Google Big Sleep AI vuln disclosure debate:
Google responds with all the ways it supports both ffmpeg & open source, which is great, but doesn’t mention if it will use its AI CodeMender to pair patches with bug reports in the future 🤔
Let’s hope they do

Screen shot of my quote tweet of Google’s response thread on ffmpeg: Context on the recent ffmpeg AI vuln disclosure kerfuffle. Interested to see if this results in Big Sleep & CodeMender being used in tandem, to address ffmpeg’s core complaint: A huge company like Google should provide patches with their AI bug reports to open source projects

It’s hard to believe but there was a cartoon about an immigrant mouse and it was seen as totally fine and not controversial and not woke because it was an aspirational and nice thing about America that people could come here and find a better life

Meanwhile on X, Google’s Big Sleep AI was called out by ffmpeg to kindly provide patches with their flood of AI vulnerability reports, polarizing security researchers between ‘not our job to fix’ & ‘commercial vendors should support FOSS they use in commercial products with dev help’

The Trump administration has holllowed out the nation's lead cybersecurity agency, upended or ended some of its key tasks and punished its previous two directors--while creating a large target in the form of all the data sloppily harvested for DOGE and its migrant crackdown. This seems... not great.
U.S. cybersecurity was bad during the first Trump administration. Somehow, it’s getting worse
Workforce cuts and vindictive treatment of former cyber officials have experts worried.

One of my favorite anecdotes from THE PREHISTORY OF THE FAR SIDE: "That doesn't sound like the Jane Goodall we know."
A few days after this cartoon was published, my syndicate received a very indignant letter from someone representing the Jane Goodall Institute. Not only did my syndicate and I both get read the Riot Act, there was a vague implication that litigation over this cartoon might be around the corner. I was horrified. Not so much from a fear of being sued (I just couldn't see how this cartoon could be construed as anything but silly, but because of my deep respect for Jane Goodall and her well-known contributions to pri-matology. The last thing in the world I would have intentionally done was offend Dr. Goodall in any way. Before I had a chance to write my apology, another complication arose. The National Geographic Society contacted my syndicate and expressed a desire to reprint the cartoon in a special centennial issue of their magazine. My editor, aware of what had just occurred, declined, explaining why. Apparently, whoever it was that sent the inquiry from National Geographic was shocked. They told my editor that "that doesn't sound like the Jane Goodall we know." They did some checking themselves, and an interesting fact was eventually discovered: Jane Goodall loved the cartoon. Furthermore, she was totally unaware that any of this "stuff" was going on. Some phone calls were made, and the cartoon was not only reprinted in the centennial issue of National Geographic, but was also used by her Institute on a T-shirt for fund-raising purposes. I've since had an opportunity to visit Dr. Goodall at her research facility in Gombe. It's a wonderful place (sort of like right out of National Geographic). "To refer to Dr. Goodall as a tramp is inexcusable even by a self-described 'loony' as Larson. The cartoon was incredibly offensive and in such poor taste that readers might well question the editorial judgment of running such an atrocity in a newspaper that reputes to be supplying news to persons with a better than average intelligence. The cartoon and its message were absolutely stupid." —Excerpt from the above-mentioned letter that started the ruckus

CISA will furlough 65% of its staff if the government shuts down on Wednesday, keeping about 890 people to handle mission-critical cybersecurity protection work. www.cybersecuritydive.com/news/cisa-go...

As in other agencies, employees there are worried about potential RIFs of furloughed staff.

I am old. I’ve been through so many waves of hustle culture. Outside of occasional crunch times, the overwork is always unnecessary, performative nonsense that provides cover for some combination of bad ideas, abusive leadership, disorganization, a total lack of strategy etc etc.
