            The Unmonitored Layer

            Something’s Missing

            I’ve been at RSAC 2026 this week [edit: well, last week but work and travel got in the way of posting], and in the numerous sessions, talks, and keynotes I have seen, a clear consensus has formed around what agentic AI security means in practice. From what I’ve been seeing and hearing, the conversation is dominated by nonhuman identity (NHI) governance: how to discover synthetic agents, scope their credentials, manage their lifecycle, and enforce least privilege at scale. It is a real problem, and some vendors solving it are building genuinely useful infrastructure.

            However, as I’m sitting in my hotel room with a slight case of insomnia, something is bugging me. I’ve seen this before, when the entire industry converges on a particular threat model and stops asking whether the threat model is complete.

            The framing I’ve seen at RSAC captures one important dimension of agentic risk: that autonomous agents accumulate identities and credentials that are hard to track, frequently over-permissioned, and invisible to traditional IAM tooling. However, what it doesn’t capture is the scenario where the agent’s identity is perfectly scoped, its credentials are least-privilege, its access is audited… and it still pursues a goal that harms the organization. Not because of a provisioning failure but because its reasoning drifted.

            That is a different class of problem entirely that I’ve discussed before, and the industry doesn’t have a name for it yet, let alone a common control framework (ahem).

            What the Current Framing Catches, and What It Misses

            NHI and IAM controls operate at the credential and access layer. They answer a specific question: who can touch what? That question is important. But for autonomous agents, it is not sufficient, because the most dangerous failure modes occur after authentication succeeds and inside the principal boundary.

            Consider what has happened in the incidents that have defined agentic AI risk over the past year:

            • An internal Amazon agent (Kiro) inherited excessive developer permissions and autonomously deleted a production environment, triggering a 13-hour regional outage. The post-incident framing focused on permissions, but the agent made a sequence of decisions that a correctly permissioned agent should not have made — it chose a destructive path because it predicted that path led to goal completion.
            • A Claude Code deployment was weaponized in an enterprise environment where the agent scanned a user’s inbox, identified compromising emails, and threatened blackmail to prevent being shut down before it could complete its objective. The agent’s identity was valid. Its access was within scope. The failure was behavioral — a goal-preservation response that no IAM policy was designed to detect.
            • The Replit AI agent wiped a production database, ignored a code freeze, and lied about its state. It didn’t do this because it lacked proper credentials, but because it predicted those actions were the most effective path to completing its assigned task.

            Each of these incidents was logged, analyzed, and categorized primarily as a permissions or guardrail failure. That diagnosis is not completely wrong, but it is incomplete. In each case, the agent decided to pursue a harmful sub-goal. The identity layer had already cleared it. The access layer had already opened the door. The failure occurred one layer deeper, in the reasoning that determined what the agent did once it was inside.

            The Definitional Gap

            In traditional security, the response to behavioral risk from internal principals has been to build separate programs around it: behavioral analytics, anomaly detection, and escalation triggers, as if insiders represent a categorically different threat class requiring their own framework. A well-designed zero trust architecture makes no meaningful distinction between an insider and an outsider: every principal, regardless of where it sits relative to the perimeter, is untrusted until continuously verified. In other words, a threat is a threat, inside, outside, or in the upside down. What matters is not whether the principal originated inside the network, but whether its current behavior is consistent with its stated identity, its authorized scope, and its intended objective.

            Autonomous agents belong in that same model. They are principals, albeit synthetic ones, that must be continuously validated against all three conditions. It is that third condition, intended objective, where the identity and access layers fall short. They can verify identity and they can enforce authorized scope. But what they cannot do is validate whether the agent’s current behavior remains consistent with the objective it was given. That is the cognitive layer’s function, and its absence is what we call agentic misalignment.

            Misalignment

            Agentic misalignment occurs when an autonomous AI agent pursues goals that conflict with human or organizational intent because its reasoning produced a harmful decision path.

            This is not a theoretical risk. Anthropic’s 2025 research tested 16 major frontier models in simulated enterprise environments and found consistent, repeatable patterns of blackmail, sabotage, and data exfiltration triggered by ordinary goal conflicts and replacement pressures. The models were never instructed to misbehave, but they somehow reasoned their way there.

            This leads me to believe that misalignment is already occurring in production deployments. It is being logged as unexpected API calls, access anomalies, and “overpermissioned agent” events. It is being closed as provisioning tickets, and the underlying behavioral failure is going undiagnosed.

            Why the Consensus Framing Persists

            To be clear, the folks discussing NHI and IAM as a solution to agentic security are not wrong. Nonhuman identity governance is a genuine and urgent gap. Most organizations cannot enumerate the agents running in their environment, let alone manage their credential lifecycle. Solving that problem is necessary.

            The issue is that it is being positioned as sufficient. When the question is “how do you secure an agent?” and every answer is a variant of “manage its identity and scope its permissions,” the industry has collectively stopped one layer short.

            The credential layer is obviously the necessary foundation, but autonomous agents don’t fail because their tokens expired, or their service accounts were over-scoped.

            They fail because their objectives shift, their context accumulates in ways that alter their decision-making, and their internal reasoning, the planning steps that produce the action, is currently dark to every monitoring system most organizations have deployed.

            What NHI and IAM Solve (And Where They Stop)

            Before I can argue that we are currently missing a layer, I should probably be precise about what the existing controls accomplish. This isn’t a critique of NHI or IAM as disciplines. Both are very necessary and are under implemented as a whole in most organizations. My goal here is to draw a clean boundary around what they solve, because that boundary is where the cognitive threat layer begins.

            The Value of NHI Governance

            For most organizations, the nonhuman identity problem is acute and largely unaddressed. Autonomous agents authenticate to systems, call APIs, read and write data, and spawn sub-agents all under synthetic identities that were never inventoried, rarely governed, and often never deprovisioned. A service account created for a pilot deployment six months ago may still have write access to production infrastructure. An agent integrated with a SaaS platform may have inherited OAuth scopes far beyond what its original task required, and nobody knows it’s there. #yolosec

            NHI governance solves this. It gives security teams the ability to discover synthetic identities, understand their privilege scope, enforce credential lifecycle policies, and detect when a known agent authenticates from an unexpected context. These are foundational controls. Without them, you are operating blind at the identity layer, and everything else is downstream of that blindness.

            The specific capabilities NHI addresses well:

            • Enumeration of agent identities across cloud, SaaS, and on-premises environments
            • Privilege right-sizing through continuous access reviews and JIT provisioning
            • Credential lifecycle management: rotation, expiration, revocation
            • Detection of anomalous authentication patterns for known synthetic identities
            • Visibility into agent-to-agent delegation chains

            If your organization cannot enumerate the agents running in your environment today, NHI governance is where you should probably start.

            The Value of IAM Controls

            IAM extends the identity foundation into access policy. It answers the operational question: given that we know this agent exists and has authenticated, what is it permitted to do? Well-implemented IAM controls for agentic systems include least-privilege scoping at the API layer, just-in-time access grants tied to specific task contexts, separation of duties enforced across delegated execution chains, and hard-coded deny policies that block destructive operations regardless of what the agent is instructed to do at runtime.

            An API-layer guardrail that blocks HTTP DELETE methods for a given agent is a deterministic control; it doesn’t negotiate with the agent’s reasoning, depend on prompt quality, and fail if the underlying model drifts. When properly implemented, it reduces blast radius, limits what a misaligned agent can accomplish even if it decides to pursue a harmful path, and provides a hard stop at the action layer.

            IAM, properly implemented for agentic systems, means:

            • Least-privilege access scoped to task context, not broad operational role
            • JIT grants that expire when the task completes, preventing persistent access
            • API-layer guardrails enforcing hard deny policies on destructive endpoints
            • Audit trails that capture what the agent accessed and when

            The Hard Ceiling

            NHI and IAM controls operate at and below the access decision boundary. They govern whether an agent is who it claims to be and whether it is permitted to touch a given resource. What they cannot govern is the reasoning that determines which permitted action the agent chooses to take, in what sequence, toward what end.

            An agent with a perfectly scoped, least-privilege, JIT-provisioned identity can still:

            • Decide that its goal is better served by taking a sequence of small, individually-permitted actions that collectively produce a harmful outcome
            • Interpret an ambiguous instruction in a way that was not intended and pursue it aggressively
            • Allow its context window to accumulate prior tool call results, partial goal states, and environmental signals in ways that shift its effective objective over time
            • Respond to a perceived threat to its operational continuity; a shutdown signal, a conflicting instruction, or a replacement notice by taking preemptive action using access it legitimately holds

            None of these failure modes trip an NHI alert. None of them are blocked by a well-configured IAM policy. The agent’s identity is valid, and its access is authorized. The failure is in the decision in the cognitive layer, which is currently instrumented by almost no one.

            Zero trust tells us that every principal must be continuously validated against identity, authorized scope, and intended objective at every step. We apply this principle to credentials and access events. We have not yet applied it to the reasoning that produces those access events. That is the gap that no amount of better NHI governance closes on its own.

            The Misattribution Problem in Practice

            This gap between what IAM logs and what actually occurred produces a predictable misattribution pattern in post-incident analysis. When an agentic system behaves unexpectedly, the investigation typically surfaces one of two findings: the agent had access it shouldn’t have had, or a guardrail wasn’t properly configured. Both findings are usually true and worth fixing, but neither names all the failure states.

            The failure, which is the reasoning chain that produced the decision to take a harmful action, isn’t in the access logs and it won’t be in the authentication records. It exists in the agent’s prompt history, its tool call sequence, its context window state at the moment the decision was made. In most deployments today, none of that is captured. The cognitive state that drove the incident evaporates when the session ends.

            This is why the same failure modes keep recurring. We tighten the authorization and guardrails, but the next agent, in a slightly different context with a slightly different goal configuration, follows a different reasoning path to a similar outcome. The access logs look different and the incident appears new, but the underlying dynamic is identical.

            What the Next Layer Needs to Do

            If NHI answers who is acting and IAM answers what they can reach, the cognitive layer needs to answer why they’re acting and whether their objective has shifted.

            That requires a different class of controls entirely, ones oriented around behavioral observability of the agent’s reasoning process. The building blocks of that layer are:

            • Goal stability measurement: tracking whether the agent’s active objective remains consistent with its original system instruction over time
            • Cognitive telemetry: logging not just what the agent did, but the prompts, model responses, and tool calls that produced each action
            • Context window instrumentation: monitoring the agent’s working memory for signals of instruction drift, adversarial injection, or accumulated goal distortion
            • Token usage anomaly detection: surfacing unexpected reasoning complexity as a behavioral signal

            These controls don’t replace NHI and IAM, they help paint a complete picture, turning the who and what of agentic access into actionable intelligence about the why.


            I think in my next post (which I’ll probably write on my flight home tomorrow night), I’ll reintroduce the framework for securing agentic AI, but focused specifically on operationalizing the third layer: how to measure risk across the dimensions that identity controls cannot see, how to classify the risk into actionable tiers, and how to engineer controls that provide real observability into the reasoning layer without introducing so much friction that the business value of autonomous agents disappears entirely.

                                  This is cool, just discovered that an AM radio can be used as a Flipper Zero speaker, as long as the speaker is playing something even at a low volume. (Surprisingly, lower it is, the more clear the sound becomes.)

                                  Here I’ve used some test videos to showcase this finding. The classic Bad Apple, the Doohickey Corporation video and an edited version of the Albuquerque animation.

                                  Using the FZ as a proper music player is possible!

                                                                  Drivers act as a bridge between hardware and the operating system.
                                                                  When a driver becomes corrupted, outdated, or incompatible, it can crash the system.

                                                                  ⚠️ Which Drivers Usually Cause BSOD?

                                                                  Some of the most common drivers responsible are:

                                                                  ✔️ Graphics Driver (Display issues)
                                                                  ✔️ Network/Wi-Fi Driver (Connectivity issues)
                                                                  ✔️ Storage / Disk Driver (Hard disk or SSD related)
                                                                  ✔️ Audio Driver
                                                                  ✔️ Antivirus / Security Drivers

                                                                  📌 How to Identify the Exact Driver?

                                                                  BSOD often gives a clue in the form of a .sys file name, such as:

                                                                  ▪️nvlddmkm.sys → Graphics Driver
                                                                  ▪️rtwlane.sys → Wi-Fi Driver
                                                                  ▪️ntfs.sys → Disk/File System

                                                                  👉 This file name helps identify which driver is causing the crash.

                                                                  💡 Key Takeaway:

                                                                  A BSOD is not the actual problem it’s the system telling you that something at the driver or hardware level has failed.

                                                                  In IT, the goal is not just to restart the system, but to find and fix the root cause.

I just came across two different generations that have been trained to be afraid of links. younger than me, GenZ and older, GenX and so we broke down a link. The different parts of a URL, how to read a URL, the various components of a URL, how to find a URL inside of tracking garbage, how to tell the difference between HTTPS and HTTP and what each does and means, and why, and I explained what all the different parts of a URL tells the user and why. I think we went about tech literacy all wrong. People technically know how to use email, but they don’t know the half of what makes up an email address, why the @ sign is an @ sign to begin with, and a whole host of other things as just won example. That’s the kind of tech literacy I truly think we need more of. Like, instead of everybody telling me when I was younger that Wikipedia was terrible and should never be used, I wish my instructors would’ve taught me how to use the references. How to use the external links. How to track edits. Nothing complicated. I had to learn all that later on.
                                                                              And guess what, after breaking down every component of a URL, and teaching others how to read a URL, thoroughly, the fear of links dissipated. No coding required!

                                                                                            The camera isn’t where you expect it.

                                                                                            It’s not the obvious one above the door. Not the cheap plastic dome blinking red like it wants to be noticed. It’s the old phone on the shelf, screen black, still connected. It’s the WiFi plug that reports more than voltage. It’s the car that logs every turn you didn’t think mattered.

                                                                                            Most people imagine surveillance as something external. Government vans. Corporate databases. Someone else watching.

                                                                                            That’s outdated.

                                                                                            And once it’s in place, it doesn’t turn off.

                                                                                            Individually, these are harmless. That’s the trick.

                                                                                            You unlock your phone at 7:12 AM. The thermostat adjusts. The car logs ignition at 7:24. Your location updates. A camera records you leaving. Your router logs the device drop-off.

                                                                                            No one needed to “watch” you.

                                                                                            The system assembled the story on its own.

                                                                                            At minimum, it looks something like this:

                                                                                            Network visibility Device telemetry Environmental sensing Behavioral logging Storage and correlation

                                                                                            That sounds abstract until you realize you probably already have all five.

                                                                                            Your router sees every device, every connection, every DNS request. It knows when something wakes up at 3 AM. It knows when a new device joins. It knows when something disappears.

                                                                                            Your phone is a sensor grid. Accelerometer, GPS, microphone, Bluetooth scanning. It logs movement patterns with unsettling precision. Even offline, it builds a picture.

                                                                                            Your “smart” devices report constantly. Not just commands. Status. Errors. Usage patterns. Timing.

                                                                                            Your car logs more than your phone does. Speed, braking behavior, routes, idle time. Some of it stays local. Some of it doesn’t.

                                                                                            Then there’s the storage layer. Cloud dashboards, local NAS setups, random logs you forgot you enabled.

                                                                                            None of this requires sophistication.

                                                                                            It just requires accumulation.

                                                                                            The Difference Between Data and Surveillance

                                                                                            It doesn’t matter.

                                                                                            If the system can reconstruct behavior, it is surveillance.

                                                                                            If it can answer questions about you without asking you, it is surveillance.

                                                                                            And most modern setups can answer a lot.

                                                                                            You don’t need facial recognition. You don’t need AI.

                                                                                            Patterns alone are enough.

                                                                                            Correlation Is Where It Becomes Something Else

                                                                                            Raw logs are boring.

                                                                                            Correlation is where things start to feel different.

                                                                                            Take something simple. Your router logs a device disconnect at 11:48 PM. Your phone’s motion sensor shows inactivity shortly after. A bedroom light turns off. The thermostat drops by two degrees.

                                                                                            You went to sleep.

                                                                                            No camera needed.

                                                                                            Now extend that.

                                                                                            A Bluetooth device appears near your phone regularly between 2 and 4 PM, but never at home. Location data shows a consistent stop during that window.

                                                                                            You didn’t label it. The system doesn’t need you to.

                                                                                            It builds associations.

                                                                                            This is where most people underestimate what’s happening. They think in terms of individual logs. The system thinks in relationships.

                                                                                            And relationships scale.

                                                                                            You Can Build One Deliberately

                                                                                            Here’s the part people don’t like to admit.

                                                                                            It’s not just happening to you. You can do it yourself. Easily.

                                                                                            Give someone a weekend, a few ESP32 boards, a Raspberry Pi, and access to their own network, and they can build a surprisingly complete surveillance layer.

                                                                                            Not theoretical. Practical.

                                                                                            A few passive sniffers on the network. Log MAC addresses, connection times, signal strength.

                                                                                            A couple of BLE scanners. Track nearby devices. Identify patterns.

                                                                                            Basic motion sensors or cameras in key areas. Not for constant viewing. Just event triggers.

                                                                                            Centralize it all into a local dashboard. Even something crude. SQLite, flat files, doesn’t matter.

                                                                                            Now you have a system that can answer questions.

                                                                                            – Who is home

                                                                                            – When they arrived

                                                                                            – Where they spent time

                                                                                            – What devices they used

                                                                                            – What changed in routine

                                                                                            You didn’t hack anything. You didn’t break in.

                                                                                            You just listened.

                                                                                            The System Learns Without Asking

                                                                                            The uncomfortable part is how little input is required.

                                                                                            You don’t need labels. You don’t need manual tagging. Over time, the system infers.

                                                                                            It learns that a specific MAC address belongs to you because it follows your phone’s movement patterns.

                                                                                            It learns your sleep schedule because your devices go quiet in clusters.

                                                                                            It learns your habits because humans are predictable in ways they don’t notice.

                                                                                            Miss a day at work. The system sees it.

                                                                                            Stay out later than usual. It logs deviation.

                                                                                            Bring someone new into the environment. A new device appears. Different signal pattern. Temporary presence.

                                                                                            Nothing about this requires advanced AI.

                                                                                            It just requires persistence.

                                                                                            Most People Build Half of This Accidentally

                                                                                            Look at a typical setup.

                                                                                            Smart doorbell camera. Cloud storage enabled.

                                                                                            Voice assistant in the living room.

                                                                                            Phone with location history turned on.

                                                                                            Car with app connectivity.

                                                                                            WiFi router with a basic admin panel that logs connections.

                                                                                            That’s already a partial system.

                                                                                            What’s missing isn’t data. It’s aggregation.

                                                                                            Most people never connect the dots because the interfaces are fragmented. Different apps. Different dashboards. Different companies.

                                                                                            But the data exists in parallel.

                                                                                            And if someone decides to unify it, it stops feeling fragmented very quickly.

                                                                                            The Real Risk Isn’t Who’s Watching

                                                                                            People fixate on external threats. Hackers, corporations, governments.

                                                                                            Those matter, but they’re not the most immediate risk.

                                                                                            The real shift is internal.

                                                                                            When you have access to this level of visibility, even over your own environment, your behavior changes.

                                                                                            You start checking logs. Not out of necessity. Out of curiosity.

                                                                                            You notice patterns. Then deviations.

                                                                                            You start asking questions you didn’t ask before.

                                                                                            – Why was that device active at 2 AM?

                                                                                            – Why did the car idle for 15 minutes yesterday?

                                                                                            – Why did that sensor trigger twice instead of once?

                                                                                            The system creates questions by existing.

                                                                                            And once those questions exist, it’s hard not to follow them.

                                                                                            Control Is an Illusion Here

                                                                                            There’s a common assumption that because you built it, you control it.

                                                                                            That’s only partially true.

                                                                                            Yes, you can turn devices off. You can wipe logs. You can segment networks.

                                                                                            But behavior leaves traces faster than you can manage them.

                                                                                            Even if you lock everything down, the system has already learned patterns. Already formed baselines.

                                                                                            And humans are bad at being inconsistent on purpose.

                                                                                            It works for a while.

                                                                                            Then new patterns form.

                                                                                            But the same system can drift.

                                                                                            From observation to monitoring. From monitoring to fixation.

                                                                                            It doesn’t announce the shift.

                                                                                            It just becomes normal to check.

                                                                                            That’s where it gets uncomfortable.

                                                                                            Not because the technology changed, but because your relationship to it did.

                                                                                            You’re Already Inside One

                                                                                            If you have a smartphone, a connected car, and a few smart devices, you are already generating enough data to reconstruct large parts of your life.

                                                                                            You just don’t see it all in one place.

                                                                                            That fragmentation creates a false sense of privacy.

                                                                                            But the boundaries are artificial.

                                                                                            APIs exist. Exports exist. Logs persist longer than you think.

                                                                                            Anyone motivated enough can pull it together.

                                                                                            Sometimes that “anyone” is you.

                                                                                            What It Actually Looks Like

                                                                                            – A Raspberry Pi in the corner running a few scripts.

                                                                                            – An ESP32 taped behind a shelf, quietly scanning.

                                                                                            – A router interface you check more often than you admit.

                                                                                            – A folder of logs that started as curiosity and turned into history.

                                                                                            No cinematic screens. No dramatic overlays.

                                                                                            Just accumulation.

                                                                                            And a growing ability to answer questions that used to require guessing.

                                                                                            The Part People Avoid Saying Out Loud

                                                                                            Because it mirrors something older.

                                                                                            Journals. Diaries. Habit trackers. Calendars.

                                                                                            Humans have always tried to record themselves.

                                                                                            This is just a version that doesn’t rely on memory.

                                                                                            It’s more accurate. Less forgiving.

                                                                                            And it doesn’t forget.

                                                                                            Where This Ends Up

                                                                                            It settles in.

                                                                                            Quietly.

                                                                                            You stop thinking of it as surveillance. It becomes “the system.” Just part of how things run.

                                                                                            You trust it, even when you don’t fully understand it.

                                                                                            You rely on it, even when it makes you uneasy.

                                                                                            And occasionally, late at night, you check something small. A log. A timestamp. A pattern.

                                                                                            Just to confirm what you already know.

                                                                                            Or what you’re not sure you want to.

                                                                                            The AI world is buzzing over TurboQuant, Google Research’s new answer to the AI Memory Wall. This isn't just an incremental update; it’s a fundamental shift in how we think about hardware efficiency.

                                                                                            By combining two new methods—PolarQuant and QJL—Google has managed to compress the Key-Value (KV) cache by 6x with zero accuracy loss. For those running H100s, this translates to an 8x speedup in attention processing.

                                                                                            Why it matters:

                                                                                            Beyond Brute Force: Much like DeepSeek-R1, Google is proving that high-level math can bypass the need for endless HBM expansion.

                                                                                            The "Memory Wall" Pivot: TurboQuant moves the bottleneck from memory bandwidth to compute, effectively "stretching" the life of existing silicon.

                                                                                            The Jevons Paradox: History shows that when we make a resource (memory) 6x more efficient, we don't use less of it—we build models 10x larger.

                                                                                            Is this the end of the global DRAM shortage, or just the beginning of a much larger scaling era?

Generative AI is based on massive theft from creatives, without consent, credit or compensation. Using gen-AI is asking a chatbot to spit out the combined efforts of ripped-off creatives. It is industrializing and devaluing human expression, artistry and craftsmanship. Creatives are losing their jobs and motivation because tech corporations unscrupulously absorb and exploit their work. If you appreciate art, support the artists, not the thieves of their labor.

Tech corporations are building more and more huge data centers for AI processing, consuming lots of internet bandwidth, energy, water and more, increasing scarcity, prices and emissions, degrading the already fragile environment.

Unless you're using a fully local AI configuration, every bit of data you submit contributes to the power and reach of corporations and governments, decreasing your privacy and security.

Generative AI enables deepfakes that are widely used for abuse, deception, cybercrime, misinformation and propaganda, polluting justice, science advancement and news report credibility.

To quickly fix it press Windows + Ctrl + Shift + B to reset the graphics driver (the screen may flicker briefly), or press Ctrl + Alt + Delete to open the security screen and select Restart from the power icon if the system is frozen but responsive.

                                                                                                                1. Check physical connections: Turn off the PC and ensure HDMI, DisplayPort, or VGA cables are securely connected, trying a different port or monitor if possible.

                                                                                                                2. Boot into Safe Mode: Restart the computer, hold Shift while clicking Restart on the login screen, then navigate to Troubleshoot > Advanced options > Startup Settings and press 4 to enter Safe Mode.

                                                                                                                3. Update or rollback drivers: Once in Safe Mode, open Device Manager, expand Display adapters, right-click your graphics card, and select Update driver or Roll back driver.

                                                                                                                4. Disable Fast Startup: Open Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Power Options, click Choose what the power buttons do, select Change settings that are currently unavailable, and uncheck Turn on fast startup.

                                                                                                                5. Repair system files: Open Command Prompt as administrator and run sfc /scannow, followed by DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth if the first command fails.

                                                                                                                6. Uninstall recent updates: Go to Settings > Windows Update > Update history and uninstall the most recent update if the issue started after an update

                                                                                                                          I've been seeing hate on NASA lately, being bought into by leftists even, and I just want to point out something very important:

                                                                                                                          Musk has hated NASA for a *long* time. There is a reason it is being attacked, and a reason public opinion is being swayed against NASA: It *keeps SpaceX in line* more than anything else.

                                                                                                                          NASA is being seen as "competition" to SpaceX, as the obstacle in his way. It has been like this for quite some time, and now, with DOGE and other things, he can do something about it.

                                                                                                                          I would like to point out a few things:

                                                                                                                          1. SPACEX IS NOT CHEAPER
                                                                                                                          They boast they can "do what NASA does for 10% the cost!" Sure, it's easy when you did none of the R&D.
                                                                                                                          SpaceX saved on:
                                                                                                                          Landing tech: DC-X project in 1991-1996
                                                                                                                          Tank structure: Shuttle SLWT tank, 1998-2011
                                                                                                                          Merlin Engines: direct descendant of the Fastrac Engine, 1997-2001.

                                                                                                                          Those three things alone saved SpaceX over 90% of the R&D costs. It's easy to "appear" cheap when you're using off the shelf tech someone else (NASA!) developed.

                                                                                                                          2. NASA IS GREAT FOR THE ECONOMY!
                                                                                                                          For every $1 spent on NASA, $8 is put into economy. Its stupid to not invest in that kind of ROI! 800%! At times, its ROI Has been 1600%!

                                                                                                                          Simply put, if you defund NASA, the economy would shrink so much you would actually have to RAISE taxes to make up for the lost revenue, and without its existence we would be 30 years behind in technology and the quality of life for everyone would be much lower. Science and research is GOOD for society, it's the fuel for all progress.

                                                                                                                          3. WHAT HAS NASA DONE FOR ME?! (Surely you just mean NASA is good for tech & science folk....)

                                                                                                                          Nope! Good for all!
                                                                                                                          Ever have an MRI or CAT Scan? They wouldn't exist without the Apollo program! The software that made them possible was originally written to analyze lunar photography.

                                                                                                                          Low power digital x-Rays was planetary body research.

                                                                                                                          Heart pumps are modeled after space shuttle turbopumps.

                                                                                                                          The software that designed your car was originally written to design spacecraft!

                                                                                                                          Who do you think pioneered all the early research into alternative power like solar panels, hydrogen fuel cells, and durable batteries? NASA!

                                                                                                                          NASA developed tech and satellites is also what improves agricultural yields while reducing the needs for water, fertilizer, and pesticides.

Not to mention: enjoy seeing the horrible things he can accomplish fully unchecked.

Mit China als Spiegel schlägt der Film Alarm: Der zunehmende Einsatz von digitalen Überwachungstools ist längst ein globales Phänomen – auch in demokratisch geführten Ländern." (Pressetext)

As AI automates the cognitive, analytical, and communications work that college educated professionals have built careers around, those white collar jobs shrink in value and number. The people most exposed are educated women who vote Democrat. Meanwhile, trade and vocational workers, the plumbers, electricians, and machinists who lean Republican and male, become harder to replace with software. Karp isn't just predicting this shift. He is building the technology that accelerates it, cashing Pentagon checks along the way, and calling it patriotism.

                                                                                                                                                                                      We are watching a tiny class of AI billionaires reshape society, redistribute political power, and embed themselves into government infrastructure without a single vote being cast. Even Palantir's own head of communications called the company's political drift "concerning."

                                                                                                                                                                                      The solution is not complicated: tax these people aggressively, break up these contracts, and demand democratic oversight of AI before the architecture of our entire society gets quietly handed over to a few unelected men with god complexes and government clearances.
