Hi! I am a security engineer.
a) yes, this is very scary and very real. I've been expecting it and planning for it and it's still scary.
b) all this AI stuff makes security engineers more, not less important. This is an important tool, but it's a *tool*.

Sadly, an artist has had to pull out of the ghost story anthology. Which means I have exactly one story without an artist. Ten pages, and cards on the table, it involves a car. Any artists out there up for drawing a ghost story?

On the third day, _on_! It's right there in the text! Death of the author is one thing, fair enough, all readings are equally valid, but it literally says "on the third day he rose again"

Obviously MPs should still be able to choose who they recruit, hire and fire etc. But in the same way as managers in a professional org can, not as inexperienced and occasionally tyrannical small business owners.
