Six fundamental beliefs that bias our view of the world:

1. My experience is a reasonable reference.
2. I make correct assessments of the world.
3. I am good.
4. My group is a reasonable reference.
5. My group is good.
6. People's attributes (not context) shape outcomes. https://t.co/nx3Ne3oVRB
New: this is crazy. The top Google image search result for "tank man" right now is an AI-generated "selfie" of the man. Shows that as AI content becomes more and more widespread, the platforms we use to surface content don’t have a good way to identify it https://t.co/vi2hxkH9Uh pic.twitter.com/6mfaUsdXbj

I mean the goal is to move ppl to using more secure frameworks and platforms, but a lot of them are proprietary and the ones that aren't (Ada!) have other issues in the market? https://t.co/t68tqRSxYC
It's very weird to tell everyone to go move to Java or C# when 1. Deserialization bugs are eating them alive, 2. They are owned by Oracle and Microsoft. Like, seriously, what is the plan? Is the Govt going to invest in open source C->Rust translation programs.

If you're programming a game where a boat moves through water, you might be tempted (as I would) to change the V-shape angle of the waves behind the boat based on how fast the boat was moving!

What if I told you that that V-shaped angle is always 19.47°, regardless of how fast… pic.twitter.com/QjGX6zeyXl

The concept of "zero trust" is often misunderstood, but it has to do with the level of confidence you should have in vendors selling you any solutions labeled this way.
