also

the network was airgapped. except for the proxy we included for it to download software updates

THATS NOT A FUCKING AIRGAP.

you telling me these dipshits don't know what a one-way diode is?

truly the best and brightest will be ushering in a new era of secure software. which will be used to fuck competitors in the ass.

Aaron Schwartz was charged for downloading documents from a school he attended. These chucklefucks outright attack a competitor, cause true financial damage, and its nothing but coo'ing and "there there" and "nothing to be done about it" for all involved.

Sam, if you're out there and you see this, I hope you fucking burn.

@da_667 I suppose one way to make a superintelligence is to make everything else much dumber.

I feel like I tapped the "keep Kingsley locked away from the levers of power" sign many times.

@da_667

In today's team meeting, we had to have a discussion about a user request because their need may be legal, it skirts too close to an ethical line. It's a good reminder for my team that the world doesn't work the way we do, where ethics aren't as universally respected as they are on our team. And others need to be remoinded of good for one and good for all.

@da_667 that's exactly where my mind went. These geniuses are publicly outing themselves as incompetent because normies just see it as flex.

@da_667 like, you can easily effectively create air gaps with some simple lack of routing… which would involve any of these dorks knowing anything about networking.

@TindrasGrove I've heard that in certain places on the "high side", that a network tap, and tcpdump can be used to simulate a data diode for incredibly cheap.

@da_667 yeeting UDP to a null address is super-useful for this

@da_667 any diode is two-way if the voltage is large enough

@nyanbinary @da_667 just like any diode is light-emitting with enough current.

@nyanbinary @huronbikes @da_667 any machine can be a smoke machine… once

Some mushrooms will feed you for a day, some will feed you for the rest of your life?

@nyanbinary @da_667

More likely to act as a fuse under high voltage.

@da_667 but if it's actually airgapped, how can I make connections in and out??? That seems very inconvenient. Need to file a risk acceptance.

@jerry @da_667 I have a machine that transmits 8bit data over pneumatics, that's an air gap, right?

@jerry @da_667 Risk acceptance rationale: "Trust me bro"

@da_667
Ethernet bridge rectifier

@FritzAdalis @da_667 Turn around two of the diodes for an Ethernet ring modulator. Makes cooler sounds.

@da_667 an actual airgapped network is not something that many people these days have experienced. The whole concept is alien to them. “That’s a broken network”.

@da_667 The network was airgapped except for the huge fucking pipe labelled "AIR GOES HERE"

@da_667 "Uh, there's air between the wireless NIC and the router? Duh. Airgap." — these chucklefucks, probably.

@da_667 wifi is technically an airgap

@rotopenguin

@da_667

aintgap

@da_667 maybe it'll learn morse and propagate via beep beep beeeeeep, it needs a VOID GAP!

@ehproque @da_667 Reason #37 why AI should be dropped into a black hole.

@FenTiger @da_667 didn't work for the Cylons

@da_667 "We air gapped except for the connection to the internet lol"

@da_667 AI Relay General Access Protocol

@da_667 I got into it with one manager who abused the term a time or two. 🙄

I wonder if that contributed to me getting curiously laid off? Oh well.

@da_667 Remember when Uber got caught cracking the networks of competitors?

@da_667 AI companies will always raise their hands blame the AI when it's convenient. This is a big part of the scam.
