The biggest problem with LLMs and the whole "AI" revolution right now, is not that — we don't have AI, and LLMs are garbage. It's that normies can no longer tell the difference between "AI" and people with ASD.

I love this "MicrosoftAICloudPartnerProgram@email.microsoft.com" emails me in french. WTF.

Authress is a MS partner, but not in AI and definitely not in French.

You now absolutely can get a UTI from @microsoft.com with every request!

"The unique token identifier (UTI) is an unique identifier (GUID) embedded in every Microsoft Entra access token (AT)"

The OAuth Spec already defines a "JTI" to do this exact thing.

Remember to wash your hands.

Discover how linkable identifiers like session IDs and unique token identifiers in Microsoft Entra help track and investigate identity-related activities, enhancing security and transparency.

I was this years old when I realized humans gather together to form Ad Watch Parties. The watch parties might last hours long and usually conclude with an apéro. Often these parties are invite only and charge an admission fee.

Welcome to tech conferences in 2025.

This is a very high context message:

It may very well be that catholicism will save us.

Shocking will be when organizations you might believe are so far behind you are more progressive and accepting in belief and mindset.

It's a bit like when NIST said stop rotating your passwords.

What the heck, see this email. Notice how no where in the email the original sender is included. This was spam, but you removed the spammer's identity when it went through our Security Group.

See the original headers. This is serious bad news.

This is some great research presented by @seeinglogic.bsky.social on code complexity and cognitive overhead.

And if anyone thinks something like this isn't relevant any more...imagine utilizing this to increase LLM readability.
