Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) - Gmail Temp Addresses, Russia's Internet Off Switch

How Microsoft lured the US Government into a far deeper and expensive dependency upon its cybersecurity solutions. Gmail to offer native throwaway email aliases like Apple and Mozilla. Russia to ban several additional hosting companies and give its big Internet disconnect switch another test. Russia uses a diabolical Windows flaw to attack Ukrainians. The value of old Security Now episodes. TrueCrypt's successor. Using Cloudflare's Tunnel service for remote network access. How to make a local server appear to be on a remote public IP. How to share an 'impossible to type' password with someone. How to find obscure previous references in the Security Now podcast. What are the parameters for the expected and widely anticipated next generation Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)? What do those in the industry and academia expect? And is OpenAI's Sam Altman completely nuts for predicting it next year? Is it just a stock ploy?

Credential Exchange Protocol - DJI Sues DoD, Quantum Vs. RSA, Lost MS Logs

Did Chinese researchers really break RSA encryption? What did they do? What next-level terror extortion is being powered by the NPD breach data? The EU to hold software companies liable for software security? Microsoft lost weeks of security logs. How hard did the try to fix the problem? The Chinese drone company DJI has sued the DoJ over its ban on DJI's drones. The DoJ wishes to acquire "DeepFake" technology to create fake people. Microsoft has bots pretending to fall for phishing campaigns, then leading the bad guys to their honeypots. It's diabolical and brilliant. A bit of BIMI logo follow-up, then...

Destroyed His Own Reputation

07/01/2023

Halley's Comet

I have never seen anyone destroy their own reputation like Steve did on the Jun 6. How many times has Steve warned about apps collecting data or some other problem (ep. 886, 894, 905 are just a few). But Steve goes off the political 'DEEP END' to use his phrase with the proposed legislation that would have apps label country of origin. Considering the following story after he mocked this legislation where cameras were being using because of faulty app/software it shows how his politics override his cognitive ability. After 5 years of listening I have now unsubscribed becaue I don't want politics.
