Don't work for companies. Work with people. At the end of the day brands and companies will come and go, but the people you work with are what really matter. Support each other. Come together to solve hard problems and realize great opportunities. Stay in touch. Pay it forward.

Sad for @johnternus to have taken the helm for Apple's worst iPhone launch yet. I've had every version since day one, but have never had a device with so many issues upon upgrading. Hope a quick patch for some of this stuff gets issued soon!

iMessage has never been secure enough for business. Now it is looking to be a total personal privacy fail. Assume anything sent via iMessage will be public eventually.

Many years ago when folks were living their lives in Second Life and World of Warcraft, I predicted the emergence of gaming retirement style communities where you get a place to sleep and shower and you would be served meals while you spend the rest of your time living in games. piped.video/watch?v=9v6LWngb…

The window between vulnerability disclosure and real-world exploitation keeps shrinking. The Zero Day Clock visualizes how fast attackers are operationalizing new CVEs. What used to take months now often happens in days, or hours. The future needs to be Secure by Design. zerodayclock.com #AppSec #CyberSecurity

Interesting, but no surprise after the Lex podcast.
Peter Steinberger is joining OpenAI to drive the next generation of personal agents. He is a genius with a lot of amazing ideas about the future of very smart agents interacting with each other to do very useful things for people. We expect this will quickly become core to our product offerings. OpenClaw will live in a foundation as an open source project that OpenAI will continue to support. The future is going to be extremely multi-agent and it's important to us to support open source as part of that.

I'm imagining the intelligence operation that focuses on collecting all the Telegram traffic being generated by OpenClaw bots.

My key takeaway from moderating OODAcon's AI agent panel: The agent hype phase is officially over. We're in the production era, and the real-world friction is clear. The Value is real: Slashing compliance drift from days to mins, empowering 10k+ field techs with agent support, and stopping BEC in less than 3 hours. The Barriers aren't tech: They're people and process. The core gaps are Accountability, Inventory, and Control. The Future is clear: The "moonshots" (like AI defender SOCs) depend on solving governance first. The defining question is now: "What can you prove your agent won't do?" Thanks to @ooda (@bobgourley + @MattDevost ) and all the panelists: Andrew Black (Kovr.ai), Josh Ray (@blackwirelabs), Tom Quinn (@TRowePrice ), and David Ginn (@johnsoncontrols )

Everyone who was in the room was moved by this interlude as we explored the connection between technology and art. A performance that I will always remember.
An amazing and inspirational performance.

Strange as Meta was actually promoting this account to me today as a friend to add.
Today in “you can’t make this stuff up,” Meta has suspended my Facebook account because they suspect me of impersonating someone noteworthy
