"Now that I have your attention. Let's talk about what you just read. A zero-day exploit is a vulnerability that the vendor doesn't know exists. Zero days of warning. Zero days to patch. The vendor finds out when it's already being used against them. Or against you. "Responsible disclosure" means you tell the vendor first. Give them time to fix it. Then go public. That's the ethical path. The other path Sell it to whoever pays. US government. UK government. Hezbollah. Same exploit. Different invoices. One path builds security. The other path is infrastructure. Multi-tenant infrastructure. Now"

"TL;DR: At the Grammys Bad Bunny and Billie Eilish gave tearful speeches about human dignity and justice. Standing ovations. The industry wept. The same industry that fired their CEO for exposing voting corruption. That partners with Spotify's "modern payola" scheme (currently facing a class action lawsuit). That platforms AI artists with 1M+ listeners and zero disclosure. They lecture the public about human rights while running a rigged system that exploits the artists on that very stage. The house is on fire. But the podium has great lighting."

"The company hired me to lead their "Agile Transformation." I don't know what Agile means. Nobody does. That's why it works. I make $425000 a year. To move sticky notes. From left to right. On a board. The board is digital now. The sticky notes cost $80000 in Jira licenses. Progress. Day one I said "we need to break down silos." Everyone nodded. Silos are bad. I don't know why. But destroying them is a career. My career. I introduced "squads." Squads are teams. But disrupted. We disrupted the teams into teams. Different names. Same people. Same problems. But Agile problems now. Agile problems"

"My manager asked how long it would take to fix the bug. I said two weeks. It took forty minutes. But now I have two weeks of buffer. That's called experience. Here's how it works. Every estimate I give has a multiplier. The multiplier depends on who's asking. My manager asks: multiply by [--]. A VP asks: multiply by [--]. The CEO asks: multiply by [--] and add "dependencies." Dependencies are other teams. Other teams are always slow. Even when they're not involved. Especially when they're not involved. Nobody checks. The bug took forty minutes. I fixed it Monday morning. I didn't tell anyone until"

"I am the Secretary-General of the United Nations. We are facing imminent financial collapse. This is different from our other collapses. The moral ones. Those are ongoing. This one is about money. We have $1.57 billion in outstanding dues. That's a record. We hold many records. Largest bureaucracy per resolution passed. Most languages spoken per problem solved. Highest catering budget per genocide witnessed. We're very accomplished. The United States owes us $4.6 billion. They pay 22% of our budget. They get one vote. Same as Tuvalu. Population: [-----]. Very fair. China pays 20%. They also get"

"For clarity: The viral 'Epstein is Satoshi' email was fake. The $525000 to Bitcoin developers was real. The St. Thomas trip planning was real. The 75% of the code is math. I moved quickly. Ethics reviews are slow"

"I am the former Head Coach of the Norwegian Ski Jumping Team. In March [----] we hosted the World Championships. In Trondheim. On our home snow. We cheated. On our home snow. The suits are everything in ski jumping. Every centimeter of fabric is regulated. Measured. Microchipped. Approved. We restitched the crotch. After approval. More fabric in the crotch means more surface area. More surface area means more lift. More lift means longer jumps. Longer jumps mean medals. We wanted medals. On our home snow. Johann Andr Forfang finished fourth. With the altered suit. Marius Lindvik finished"

"I am the Chief Marketing Officer of Sazerac. We own Svedka Vodka. On Sunday we made history. The first primarily AI-generated national Super Bowl commercial. The first vodka brand to advertise during the Super Bowl. The first Super Bowl ad from our company. Three firsts. One robot. Her name is Fembot. She's been our mascot for years. We abandoned her. Sales were declining. The brand was losing fans. The robot was shelved. Then we discovered AI. We partnered with Silverside AI. You may remember their work. They made the Coca-Cola Christmas ads. The ones consumers called "soulless." The ones"

"I proposed solutions once. They were escalated to a working group. The working group produced a findings document. The findings document recommended forming a task force. The task force is pending headcount approval. The headcount was frozen in last quarter's restructuring. The restructuring was the solution to the last set of problems we identified and did not solve. https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2022146347122446529 https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2022146347122446529"

"@HiberniaFrog Everyone says "you know what to do." They're right. We do. Knowing was never the problem. The problem is the space between knowing and doing is filled with approval chains risk assessments and a legal review that takes longer than the original game took to build"
