One of the hardest things about being in information security is the frustration. The longer you’re in the field the more you’re exposed to ridiculously insecure systems that nobody seems to want to fix. We know how to fix them. We often have the money. And security people are explaining—at maximum volume—exactly how to do it. But it doesn’t happen. I’d like to propose an explanation and name for this phenomenon—the Efficient Security Principle (ESP). In other words, the way we know something has the “right” amount of security —acceptable, not ethically or morally—is when people just keep u ..read more

I’ve had this analogy in my mind for a while for AI. Specifically, neural nets. Imagine a coin sorter with a flat surface the size of the sun. So the idea for sorting coins is that you just throw random coins at it, and they fall into the system and bounce around and get filtered into certain paths. But in this system, the openings on the surface don’t just have a few sizes of openings, but billions. All different shapes and sizes of slots. And there are also billions of different sizes of coins. And when you throw coins (data) at the surface of the sun, that’s what changes the shapes of th ..read more

It’s only been a year and AI is already becoming as boring to people as reading. Meaning—the masses are starting to see it as just another tech phase, while the highly ambitious are working to integrate it into every part of their lives.Just like reading. Rich and successful people have told us over and over that there’s a secret to their abilities. Voracious book consumption.  Like a book a week in many cases. 1  And those are largely high-quality non-fiction books about science, business, productivity, and other topics that help one improve their lot in life—not just the fun stu ..read more

I am troubled by how many people are upset by AI. I mean, they’re really upset. Having just written a thing on framing, I think AI is another example where people are doing most of the damage themselves. In other words, I don’t think they’re so upset about AI itself, but by how they’re thinking about AI. Specifically, I think people are upset because they think we’re making a choice to use it or not, and we’re choosing poorly. They’re going through life reading news stories and thinking… Wow, I can’t believe people are so stupid! Here they have the option to just keep things as they ..read more
