So, I'm quietly asked my opinion of @mikko's somewhat ... grandiose claims for artificial general intelligence (AGI) going forward. I invite my questioner to jump in with their own thoughts, but here's mine as cybersecurity's eldest #critic:

My short answer is "I'm okay with anyone making bold claims like this." There's simply no #fearmongering here. @mikko states the obvious and paints a future.
My longer answer centers on the fact @mikko wields a strong character in our industry...

...and it's the type of character I would wish on everyone.
I admit @mikko has a style few can muster. But his character? Every one of us can muster that if we wish!
Imagine a world where we all invite software makers to see their work from...

Over 100 #Wildfires Burn Across #Trudeau-#UNfriendly Province, #Alberta | May 7
- A reminder that an #election approaches in this province, and that Danielle #Smith, the relatively new premier, has been a major #critic of the Trudeau government.

I know, it’s just pure coincidence the province with 1.7 trillion barrels of #oil, with a premier who said they would get rid of the #carbontax, who said no to the fed #gun grab and who said no to the Fed interfering with resource devt

Exactly, sir!
Let's talk a "Cybersecurity No Fly List."
Ostensibly, I placed a $500 bet with Marcus Hutchins at 2:1 w/ the payout going to charity because I'm half-confident many of you jumped to the wrong conclusion about BSides Cleveland.
Realistically, though...

...I placed the bet because I worry our industry will create a "Cybersecurity No Fly List" (CNFL).
We'll do it hastily. We won't think it out properly.
And then we'll have the equivalent of a U.S. "No Fly" list.

...easily expand from a simple .xls of organizers / venues / speakers / attendees who ooze toxicity.
One day you look down and the CNFL says "ban anyone from Russia. Reason: CISA ThreatKB 202209110842 marked LEO-sensitive. Until: further notice."
The next day you...

@taco_x86 @threadreaderapp Not yet.
Let me begin by recognizing that more than one person has yelled at me for RT'ing a debate re: cyber where I feel my followers should see both sides of the issue. Generally speaking: they don't want me to highlight our public conversation. I'm always like "WTFO?"

@taco_x86 "OG" readers like you know I view cyber from a similar perspective as #Doctrine_Man and #Mother_of_Tanks -- just two of many whom I've pissed off for QT'ing their tweets to reveal how insanely out-of-whack our industry's perception of #cyberwar really is.
Yet as a critic...

@taco_x86 ...I'm compelled to QT an abundant crop of tweets on crime & warfare to help us understand how cyber will fit into it.
I dare to ask philosophical questions, or to make what our industry would call a "valid" assumption, that makes no sense whatsoever to the person I'm QT'ing.

@taco_x86 As a matter of fact I do! You're an "OG" CVMhp / Vmyths reader; you'll probably remember the column where I explained my Bacon Number to Roger Ebert is exactly 1:
@taco_x86 I continued conversing w/ Roger Ebert on CompuServe in the '80s & '90s. After his tirade re: "Highlander 2," I emailed him to explain how it broke the timeline for the sword RamÃrez wielded. "Another reason to hate the movie," he replied! [paraphrased]

@taco_x86 The original "CVMhp" website followed a ... loose interpretation of what it means to be a critic.
Things changed in 1999 when Denise's career took her to Iowa. "As a consolation, why don't you take CVMhp to a new level? Make it profitable."
As if I needed a consolation prize 😃

A senior member of SANS acting *on his own* raised a concern over the tweet below.

One is a computer security #critic in their own right who long ago judged Vmyths' works at my request.
Another is a respected member of the #cybersecurity community who has not before judged my works.
The third is a longtime reader.
Each judged the tweet independently.

I told the complainant the panel's majority would "guide my action... I offered them no defense; the tweet must live or die on its own merits."
The complaint was that my tweet tied SANS to #racist police when in truth they've run a mature "LE" program for over a decade.

2/6 Migrants sent home w/ #COVID19 remain counted in central FL; their data doesn't "transfer" to another county.
And contrary to any PR statements, those migrants who later need hospitalization end up counted as having #COVID19 in *two* counties.
Let's be CLEAR, though:

Let's be CLEAR, though:
3/6 Double-counting a case of #COVID19 only occurs when a patient (a) gets tested in one county and (b) seeks hospitalization in another county.
(Remember, we're talking about #cybersecurity!)
For example, Levy County FL cases look like this when it should be ~120 fewer:
