#ChatGPT is an insane #productivity tool and the #UserExperience is way above my usual "get answers on #software questions" tool stack #GoolgeSearch and #StackOverflow! Here's why... š§µ1/
In this example I asked #ChatGPT for a good package name for my #Android app. I'm not very familiar with the Android world. I knew that it should be built as a reverse domain but I wasn't sure how this would work with an .app domain. 2/
ChatGPT managed to educate me on that and even saved me from pitfalls. In #GoogleSearch it's difficult to ask such questions. The search is only useful if I already know what I'm looking for. In this case it would be "java package name conventions" 3/

ā¦legitimate criticism led many (perhaps most) victims in #cybersecurity to cry out that humor negates legitimacy: "the stakes are too high for <THIS|ME>to be taken so lightly!"
Yet these same victims adore e.g. Jon Oliver for his brutal use of #comedy in legitimate criticism.
Yet these same victims adore e.g. Jon Oliver for his brutal use of #comedy in legitimate criticism.
And here we arrive at the crux of the matter:
The victims, not the #elements of legitimate #criticism, decide what is "fair" in cybersecurity.
This way, anything that is not āļøcriticismāļø may be labeled as such so victims can associate legit critics to their SCUM counterparts.

For the record, and I would like to be clear about this, I have been a writer, creator, and consultant for products since the early 90s. You can find early things I wrote on USENET. #writing #criticism #art #SocialMedia

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.

...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."

This paragraph implies the global cybersecurity community sometimes *fails* to galvanize the IT community to stamp out a vuln that can kill hospital patients in an operating room.
But there IS a precedent. I will don the oldest hat in cybersecurity #criticism to reveal it...

#thegrugq, who has 121K followers including the CISA Director herself, posted a video on "cyber warfare" the other day confirming cybersecurity's failure to save hospital patients' lives. Cyber MURDERS occur because IT & gov't don't yet care to stop it:
#thegrugq was forced in his video to shrug off the murderous "cases of people at hospitals who have died due to cyber incidents," recognizing that "there's not really a response that can be made to it." He went on to say "until it's a huge big deal, it's sort of ignored."

1/š§µ Giving & Receiving Advice:
My medical advice is not infallible. Maybe Iām wrong and maybe my patient knows it? Maybe thatās one reason she/he is non-compliant. Even if I am right, it might not be the time in that personās life to hear the message.

2/ A pt may seem to be listening & carefully taking it all in. But later that morning she/he may leave against medical advice (AMA). What are we to think when we give our best #advice and others donāt take it? Especially in the medical field?

- The government has also proposed very large #industrial and #developmental projects which would effectively ruin the environment of the areas. [1/10]

- These documents ignored the #people and #ecology of the islands completely.

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.

1/6 So let's review my 2009 column to learn *why* I continue to #critique the cybersecurity industry "at a time like this." In it, I barked "computer security experts lack focus on Twitter": web.archive.org/web/2009082305ā¦

2/6 I often retweet folks who just want to read about #cybersecurity issues from the cybersecurity experts they follow -- not about their hotel rooms or airplane food or the politics of the day. Those folks want non-cyber to go on a personal account:
