My tattoo artist brother always been the outspoken one, from local government corruption (see: ABA, Avondale), all the way to genocides on the other side of the world. Been saying it with his whole chest since the beginning ❤️ #FreePalestine 🇵🇸

I was happy to get my copy in the mail today, looking forward to reading and not being surprised by anything OpenAI has done, in this book 😂

Reading RNZ, I'm often left thinking "wtaf is this piece saying or not saying and does it need to be this long to say it?"
controversial take: if this is human news writing, I'll take the AI summary, thanks.

Jah. I know. I'm from this era 👇🏽 🤣
first thing I said to a dev who was explaining what MCP did for them, was ask them how this was different to these integration services from yesteryear that managed the back<->front communication flow.

I have this weird thing where I get super curious when I see a new AI-related capability come out...
but I get legit excited when I see how that new capability can be pwned 😈
last week it was "look at this MCP thing I built"...
this week: hey, let's break MCP to pieces!

🤖 Finally had time to sit down and see what I could do with MCP, with one of the only use cases I find interesting with AI agents = hacker bots 😂.
Setup a local DVWA container, short python script worked, so onto a more sophisticated LLM agent next.

📘 Part 4 of 4 of my little deep dive into Agentic AI Security on LinkedIn.
Glad to get this one done. Deep dives are exhausting, especially once the initial excitement has faded and its just you, all your notes and your OCD to post it 😂😭.

🥷🏽 one for the hackers:
this was buzzy to see, in the open, on tiktoks website 🤔 ...
javascript RSA (jsrsasign) for API request signing (client-side), but for some reason, just letting the private keys ass hang out like this in public 😂.

Finally got around to rebuilding my PiHole DNS w/ Unbound.
Cannibalized 3x HP thinclients to make the one supreme client, Debian 12, docker-compose, containers ftw.
Old school computer geekin'... twas a good day.

Meta AI Studio, "Find and interact with AIs created by others." 👀
Other than the Quran being an obviously popular resource, the rest of the AI's (and this is just ONE section) doesn't bode too well for a certain er..."demographic" 😬

Of course the natural progression (in my line of work anyway) from containers is Kubernetes... And managed at that.
While containers are light, nimble, hackery and fun... Managed k8s is such a fucking slow death by comparison.
Enterprise, resilience, blah blah I get it... Still not fun.

what I did find funny was this: says DeepSeeks $6M training figure's either a lie or is not that cheap cos they trained Claude for 2-3x the cost?
"I won't give an exact figure"... so don't believe DeepSeek, but "trust you bro"?...

Reading @anthropic.com's Dario Amodei's blog post in response to the #DeepSeek r1 model that has U.S. AI folks losing their shit.
At least he's up front about that 'American Imperialism' must prevail. For some reason he spells is "national security" later in the piece...
