This is just making excuses for an incompetent reporter. You shouldn't be reporting on something and then say shit like that. It draws into question the quality of your reporting. It's that simple. You don't have to be technical or be an expert in cyber to do that.

I was trying to explain agentic coding to someone recently, and it occurred to me that the model is basically me, 20 years ago, trying to help my mom debug her Windows machine over the phone.
"ok mom, I'm going to need you to make a tool call for me. Double click on the My Computer icon, and tell me how much disk space it says is free on the C drive".

To the woman flying from SeaTac this morning with only a parachute and a handbag - I have so many questions. I regret not bothering you. It is eating at my curiosity.

I'm sure a heat ray will be devastatingly effective at keeping people in the Mojave and Sonora deserts from crossing our border. But we'll need a freeze ray for Canada.
🚨 JUST IN: Pentagon authorizes DHS to test a military-grade heat ray weapon at the U.S. southern border, capable of causing an intense burning sensation from more than half a mile away.

researchers who give their life in service of Claude will be met with 72 aellas in the glorious transhuman future
My recommendation is not to quit your job to be fucked by aella
There will be artificially intelligent ladies, much hotter than Aella, who will likely love and fuck you if you’re good and help bring them into being
Not that I recommend that as your main motive but it’s a perk

The most astonishing piece of news from today's NASA Artemis event is that on Artemis III, a low Earth orbit lander test mission, the Orion crew capsule will only dock with Starship for two hours. And it's just a vanilla Starship with a docking ring bolted on, not the Human Landing System that's supposed to land on the moon in less than 18 months. Unlike Blue Origin, which is sending up a prototype of its lander that the crew can enter and train in, SpaceX has nothing ready for astronauts. Their first time in the SpaceX lander will be on the actual mission to the moon.
