The paper I presented at Security Protocols Workshop is out! The theme was "controversial security".
We work to bridge the gap between platonic models of rational actors and the trenches, exploring why the real players don't always disclose vulnerabilities or issue patches.

This is not the AI boom creating a new type of work, this is a classic example of managers using automation to deskill old ones. Creative workers who once made a higher wage creating original art and writing are now paid in piecework to edit automated output. Bosses are using AI to cut labor costs.
The AI boom has created a new type of work: fixing botched AI. Designers are being hired to remake wonky AI art. Writers are asked to make ChatGPT’s writing sound more human. Even software developers are tasked with fixing buggy vibe coding.

Humans are being hired to make AI slop look less sloppy
In the age of automation, human workers are being brought in to fix what artificial intelligence gets wrong.

We are not trivialising LLMs.
Copyright theft is not trivial.
Environmental damage is not trivial.
Unreliability is not trivial.
Risk to human cognition is not trivial.
Ignoring consent when shoving it into every fucking thing while making us pay our hard-earned money for it is not trivial.

DEEPEST VALLEY is a hand-drawn fantasy strategy game for hanging out with 2-5 friends.
Five realms battle for control of a valley sunk so deep into war it might swallow them whole.

a “couple” means two, a “few” means three, and “several” means four but no more than nine. “many” means more than a third but fewer than half and “most” means more than three-fourths. i am so glad this is not controversial and we could easily reach a consensus on this.

Good news! My three free years of credit monitoring service, which was the only restitution offered when my bank got hacked and leaked all my personal information, has been extended by ANOTHER three years because another company got hacked and leaked it all over again! I just can't stop winning
