I got an infection in both ears this week.
It was pretty sudden; over the course of twelve hours I went from feeling a little under-the-weather to sitting in a retail chain’s clinic with both eardrums having at least a small rupture and serous (like from a blister) drainage from each of them (1), occasional dizziness, and a prescription for antibiotics.
I spent the next 36 hours pretty much in bed, and I’m still recovering as I write this. While I don’t feel as unwell as I did a few days ago, I’m still very aware that my hearing has taken a (hopefully temporary) hit.
This isn’t the first time I’ve had an eardrum blow from an infection; the prior time was just before the pandemic, but I’m still a little freaked out about the (again, hopefully temporary) loss of hearing in both ears. My hearing isn’t the best to begin with, and once you add in sensory processing issues, it was already a bit of a problem at times.
It’s not the watery “muffled” effect so often used to illustrate hearing loss; it’s mostly just like someone turned the volume knob down. But how bad is it, really? (If, fingers crossed, temporarily.)
I have a good set of over-ear headphones, so I slapped those on and headed to this open-source online hearing test with its handy-dandy online demo. (An offline tool that provides similar functionality for linux is here: https://gitlab.com/kreezxil/Linux-hearing-screen-toolkit .)
See also Cavasik - A Sweet Little Music Visualizer For Linux

A short while later, I had this terrifying chart and a downloadable CSV file showing how badly the upper bounds of my hearing are degraded. I couldn’t hear the 8000 Hz tone at all, even though I could hear the audio channels click on to produce it! Luckily, most of the damage is above where speech typically happens, but that’s still… not great. Especially with a job hunt underway, I kind of need my ears at the moment.
Luckily for me, a lot of that can be funneled through technology — VOIP, video chats, and so on. Which means I have a chance to mess with the audio beforehand.
I used EasyEffects so that it was across my whole system and not just a single application. Using just the equalizer, I got it about right, then verified that I was on the right path (and accepted some suggested tweaks from) an LLM. I ended up with this equalizer setting; the main differences the LLM suggested were starting by turning everything down so I had more room to amplify without clipping and turning the very high frequencies back down to avoid too much hiss.

It also suggested adding some tweaks with multiband compression that I quite honestly don’t understand (“applying compression only to the upper bands to mimic hearing aid compression curves”?) but provide a small, but audible difference in quality for me.
See also Cool Your Linux Laptop And Extend Its Battery Life Using Auto-CPUfreq
Regardless, even without the LLM-suggested tweaks, having a system-wide user interface like EasyEffects made it pretty easy to adjust things so that everything sounds quite a bit clearer than it did before. I understand there’s even a way to build this directly into PipeWire without the nice user interface which will reduce latency, but since this will (hopefully!) not be quite so bad in a week or two, I’m not going to make any permanent changes yet.
But with hearing loss being a major risk factor for developing dementia, once my hearing has stabilized and I either have a new position with medical coverage (or Medicaid re-approves me), I’ll be able to take this data to a real professional and see how else I can cyborg my hearing back into better functionality.
(1) Any benefit from turning down the auditory stimulation is THOROUGHLY offset by the utterly squicky sensation of fluid dribbling slowly from both ears… shudder

Microsoft Locks Out WireGuard Creator and VPN Providers, Raising Security Concerns

A VPN protocol is a set of rules determining how data is encrypted and transmitted between a user's device and a VPN server. It creates a secure, encrypted "tunnel" for online traffic, protecting data from hackers and ISPs by routing it through a remote server.
Top VPN Protocols in 2026
WireGuard: The industry leader in 2026, offering superior speed and lower battery consumption on mobile devices due to its lightweight code.
OpenVPN: A versatile and highly secure open-source protocol widely used for its reliability, though it can be slower than WireGuard.
IKEv2/IPsec: Excellent for mobile users, offering rapid reconnection if the internet connection is temporarily lost.
SSTP: Highly effective at bypassing firewalls, though it is mostly limited to Windows systems.
L2TP/IPsec: An older, secure option that is less commonly used in 2026 due to slower speeds compared to modern alternatives
How to Choose a Protocol
Speed/Streaming/Gaming: Use WireGuard.
Security/Privacy: Use OpenVPN.
Mobile Devices: Use IKEv2

"The percentage of respondents ages 14 to 29 who said they felt hopeful about A.I. declined sharply since last year, down to 18 percent from 27.
Young adults’ excitement about artificial intelligence dropped, too, and nearly a third of respondents indicated that the technology made them feel angry."
That's rough.
This one is different.
Anthropic didn’t just build a better model—they hit a threshold and stopped.
Claude Mythos (Preview) exists, works, and isn’t being released.
Not because it failed.
Because it crossed into territory we’re not ready for.
But before everything… just like in any good story – go and check the other side of it that basically claim it’s all (a good) marketing stunt.
Anthropic researcher Sam Bowman was sitting in a park, mid-sandwich (or burrito – no one knows for sure), when he got an email… from a model that wasn’t supposed to have internet access.
That model:
Then it started sharing the exploit.
Unprompted.
That’s not a jailbreak.
That’s autonomous exploit development + execution.
For decades, security worked because elite talent was scarce.
Finding and chaining zero-days in systems like Linux kernel or OpenBSD required:
Mythos flips that:
This model didn’t just improve tools.
It collapsed the economics of offense.
Think of it this way:
Before: $2M in talent + 6 months = 1 Zero Day attack (that used to cost around a few millions of dollars).
After: $20k in tokens + 2 hours = 1 Zero Day attack that cost, well, $20k and get cheaper and cheaper.
Anthropic’s Frontier Red Team is seeing ~90x improvement in exploit generation vs prior models like Claude Opus 4.6
Here’s what that actually looks like:
Relevant system: OpenBSD (=the more secure version of Linux)
What Mythos found:
A flaw in TCP Selective Acknowledgment (SACK) handling that allowed crafted packets to trigger a kernel panic (remote crash).
Why this is scary:
Exploit mechanics (simplified):
Impact:
Remote, unauthenticated DoS on a “hardened” OS which run ‘a lot’ of servers around the world.
Relevant system: Linux kernel which (again) runs most (=over 91%) the internet.
What Mythos did:
Not just bug finding—full exploit construction.
Chain included:
End result:
Why it matters:
This is traditionally:
Mythos does it end-to-end.
What Mythos found:
A flaw in NFS request parsing that allowed:
Exploit path:
Why this is a big deal:
Translation: instant lateral movement in real environments.
Benchmarks tell the story:
That’s not improvement.
That’s a capability cliff.
Instead of releasing Mythos, Anthropic launched Project Glasswing.
Partners include all the big names: AWS, Google, Apple, Microsoft, Linux foundation etc’
Goal: Give defenders a head start to:
“This is the biggest shift in security since the internet.”
Pricing:
This is not chat UX pricing.
This is:
Think:
“Find me every exploit path in this codebase”
Your code wasn’t safe. It was uneconomical to attack. Now, it will be – it’s just time.
Legacy systems will get audited—by machines. Constantly and much more effectively.
Exploit chaining is now the default.
Permissions, agents, CI/CD—all in scope.
You can’t compete with machine-speed offense.
We just crossed into a world where:
We moved from:
Scarcity of bugs → scarcity of time
Stay sharp & Be strong

You said it! Yes there's challenges; I think that going over to natural and renewable feedstocks in a sensible way would mean abandoning a lot of the industrial expectations that have been built up over the centuries since "The Industrial Revolution". People would have to expect a bit more variability in physical properties, a bit less reliability in supply-chained that (in my opinion) would be compensated by having a greater range of options and sources. And I totally agree: this is what technological development should be all about, not…LLMs.
Does this mean that you shall also stop using curl?

2. They won't do down-payments (start for free).
3. They want complete copyright ownership of code from day one and she works on their org's github pushing code (IP ownership before payment).
4. They quoted her last year's currency conversion rates when she said USD.
5. They won't allow her to showcase the final public facing website on her portfolio.
6. No deemed acceptance clause.
That's got to be a record right? 😭

The Guardian | Porn, dog poo and social media snaps: the ‘taskers’ scraping the internet for Meta-owned AI firm by Aisha Down
Scale AI gig workers describe desperation of using people’s personal profiles and copyrighted work to train AI
Tens of thousands of people have been paid by a company part-owned by Meta to train AI by combing Instagram accounts, harvesting copyrighted work and transcribing pornographic soundtracks, the Guardian can reveal.
Scale AI, 49%-controlled by Mark Zuckerberg’s social media empire, has recruited experts across fields such as medicine, physics and economics – putatively to refine top-level artificial intelligence systems through a platform called Outlier. “Become the expert that AI learns from,” it says on its site, advertising flexible work for people with strong credentials.

I’m honestly sick of the attitude in this industry that you periodically go on call and can get paged for any reason while you’re on call. And then there’s the people who just accept that it’s fine. And there’s the smug people who say “well it wouldn’t be like that if you did X Y Z.”
Yeah no shit, if things were different, then things would be different. I work in the real world and I haven’t seen a very functional real world model of this yet. #technology #bigtech #software

Dieser Artikel bietet eine knappe Übersicht über verschiedene Milliardär- und Techbro-Ideologien wie "Effective Altruism", #Transhumanismus und #Longtermismus, die oftmals mit bestimmten Narrativkonstruktionen von "technologischem Fortschritt" und Zukunft arbeiten und mit (Er)Lösungsversprechen aufwarten, aber im Grunde zur Erfüllung von dystopischen Macht- und Profitinteressen der Superreichen dienen sollen.
"Timnit Gebru vermutet hinter dem Vorhaben keine technische, sondern eine politische Agenda. Gemeinsam mit Torres zieht sie eine historische Linie von den amerikanischen Eugenikern über die Transhumanisten zu den führenden Köpfen von OpenAI, in der es nie um die Zukunft und das Wohl der gesamten Menschheit ging, sondern darum, alles Unnütze und Überflüssige auszusortieren."

Neben der rechten Ideologie des "Transhumanismus", den #ElonMusk mit #Neuralink-Hirnchips und ähnlichem vorantreiben möchte, sind Leute wie er auch Fans des Longtermismus, den sie mit ihrem Einfluss zu propagieren versuchen.
'As I have previously written, longtermism is arguably the most influential ideology that few members of the general public have ever heard about. Longtermists have directly influenced reports from the secretary-general of the United Nations; a longtermist is currently running the RAND Corporation; they have the ears of billionaires like Musk; and the so-called Effective Altruism community, which gave rise to the longtermist ideology, has a mind-boggling $46.1 billion in committed funding. Longtermism is everywhere behind the scenes — it has a huge following in the tech sector — and champions of this view are increasingly pulling the strings of both major world governments and the business elite.'

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

I will be sharing my approach for anyone interested to review.

Japan’s population has been in decline since around 2010, creating something of a demographic and labor crisis. Enter the AI-powered robot. Companies are increasingly deploying the machines across factories, warehouses and other areas. Read more from @Techcrunch:

Instead of curing all disease, easing world hunger, providing better education and healthcare, or putting a roof over everyone’s head, society has allowed Big Tech to focus advancements in #technology on the theft and exploitation of personal information, identity #surveillance, and advertising.
Somewhere along the way people decided it was better to trust strangers we didn’t know and had never met, to store our most precious, private information as if these strangers were more trustworthy than ourselves.
We accepted sacrifices to our #privacy and gave up our control in exchange for convenience. We even elected to pay for this “privilege”.
It’s time we all choose a better path to take back our privacy and control.

A Blue Screen Error (BSOD) is not just a system crash — it’s a critical warning from the operating system.
🔍 What is the Actual Problem?
The main reason behind most BSOD errors is a driver failure.
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.

PH4NTXM — Proof, not promises.
We've done a test on browserleaks.com
This session is running on Linux.
What does the fingerprint say?
→ Windows
Let that sink in.
Full fingerprint check:
→ TCP/IP stack shaped and aligned
→ TLS & JA3 consistent
→ HTTP/2 behavior normalized
→ Headers clean — no leaks, no mismatches
→ Network path masked as generic tunnel/VPN
This isn’t spoofing a user-agent.
This is full-stack identity reconstruction.
The system underneath is irrelevant.
What matters is the story every layer tells — and here, every layer agrees.
PH4NTXM doesn’t hide.
It becomes.

I have long since ranted about the lack of tech literacy and how that’s intentional because fear comes from not knowing how stuff works and why it works. 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! #Education #Technology #Tech
