I haven’t used Google Search on a regular basis in something like 6 or 7 years. People talk about how much Google sucks now, but I don’t even notice it. It’s great.

The U.S. may be about to require green card applicants who live here to apply from abroad, where they can be rejected with little chance for appeal. Including spouses of U.S. citizens and highly skilled employees of companies that I expect will raise a major stink about this.

I'll be at @layeroneconference.bsky.social this weekend, woot woot! Are any of you thinking of attending but you failed to plan ahead? One of my team can't make it and we have a spare barcode up for grabs last minute. It was an early bird ticket, so this would only be $200... ping me if you wish!

Spent ten minutes trying to get Anthropic to accept my CC number to buy credits. Turns out you had to click “billing address is not the same as shipping address” and re-enter your whole address, only then can you click Continue. The quality of everything around Claude is an anti-ad for Claude.

Any other administration...

The good news: Google's upgraded AI search is better than the (less useful than they used to be) 10 Blue Links. Not so good: One more traffic-sucking blow for websites and online publications. www.wired.com/story/even-i...

I am in Las Vegas for the inaugural Enhanced Games—the sports event where athletes are encouraged to take drugs. It starts Sunday. Until then, read my WIRED piece from last year for the story of Enhanced's route from wild napkin idea to $1.2bn pharma disruptor. www.wired.com/story/enhanc...

I put election riggers in the same bucket of weird, creepy people as surveillance enablers, who should be shunned, relentlessly mocked, and never allowed a moment of peace in public again.

Oh no! BASED APPAREL, the online store run by FBI director Kash Patel, was hacked to serve ClickFix attacks (🎻). Website visitors see a fake Captcha-style screen and are then tricked into hacking themselves by copying and pasting malware code. How this works: this.weekinsecurity.com/clickfix-att...

I have been submitting every paper and speaking at every conference and saying "yes" to every single cybersecurity clinic in order to be useful to Australia. I'm so grateful to be here, but this is my first weekend off in 7 weeks, and I'm very tired, boss.

Someone must be keeping a list of the DOJ attorneys who have committed egregious misconduct over the past year and a half. If they’re not disbarred I have to assume at some point they should be considered unhirable by any reputable law practice- just simply because they’re a liability. No?

This might be my favourite slide on quantum computing, ever. From Peter Gutmann at #AUSCERT

This is so stupid I don't need to know anymore. I refuse to click.
