ClickFix and malware seem to prefer PowerShell aliases: iwr
iex
for obfuscation, so I thought why not simply disable and turn them into canaries.
Of course impact is highly org and user dependent, but since it's deployed per user+host profile, we can easily apply it to the primary, non-privileged or service identity.
And yes, still disable Win+R, Win+X, log and get control on EPs. If you're already hunting iwr
, you hopefully know where they run as current user.
I wonder what all the Uber and Lyft drivers are going to do for money when those companies go full robotaxi? It's already a "last resort" kinda way to make money. I don't see the advantage of throwing more people out of work to improve executive/shareholder profits... #jobs #automation
After putting it off for too long, I'm finally diving into Bash scripting to enhance my system administration skills! Automating tasks and improving efficiency are my goals. Tips and resources are welcome!
In Changping, a Xiaomi "dark factory" runs 24/7 with no need for humans. Just AI and robots doing work completely autonomously. The factory is a blueprint for the future of global manufacturing.
"#GitHub Action Compromise Puts #CICD Secrets at #Risk in Over 23,000 Repositories"
#DevOps #automation is always high risk: root access, connected, fast, scaled. So like this is
unacceptable.
Major $fail by $MSFT leadership. I bet all the #layoffs didn't help.

"[S]tatistical inference is intrinsically conservative: an AI predicts the future by looking at its data about the past, and when that prediction is also an automated decision, fed to a Chaplainesque reverse-centaur trying to keep pace with a torrent of machine judgments, the prediction becomes a directive, and thus a self-fulfilling prophecy:
(...)
AIs want the future to be like the past, and AIs make the future like the past. If the training data is full of human bias, then the predictions will also be full of human bias, and then the outcomes will be full of human bias, and when those outcomes are copraphagically fed back into the training data, you get new, highly concentrated human/machine bias:

By firing skilled human workers and replacing them with spicy autocomplete, Musk is assuming his final form as both the kind of boss who can be conned into replacing you with a defective chatbot and as the fast-talking sales rep who cons your boss. Musk is transforming key government functions into high-speed error-generating machines whose human minders are only the payroll to take the fall for the coming tsunami of robot fuckups.
This is the equivalent to filling the American government's walls with asbestos, turning agencies into hazmat zones that we can't touch without causing thousands to sicken and die:"

AI: The Power Struggle Unveiled
AI isn’t the enemy—corporate control is. Automation suppressing wages
AI policing reinforcing bias
Ethics used as a shield for censorship
Surveillance expanding unchecked
It isn’t about AI—it’s about who holds power.

Today in Labor History March 11, 1811: Luddites attacked looms near Nottingham, England, because automation was threatening their jobs. At the time, workers were suffering from high unemployment, declining wages, an “endless” war with France and food scarcity. On March 11, they smashed machines in Nottingham and demonstrated for job security and higher wages. The protests and property destruction spread across a 70-mile area of England, reaching Manchester. The government sent troops to protect the factories and made machine-breaking punishable by death.

"According to a new study published FGS Global, they see a technology that will primarily benefit large corporations, be used to surveil them and invade their privacy, and over which they will have little power. FGS interviewed 800 union workers, 800 nonunion workers, as well as industry and political leaders. (Disclosure: The study was commissioned by the Omidyar Network, where I was previously a reporter in residence.)
Workers are excited about the potential productivity benefits the technology enables, but are also keenly aware that as it stands, those benefits will be captured by management, and that they will have little control over how AI is ultimately used in the workplace.
In other words, I would say that, by and large, workers are seeing right through Silicon Valley’s hype, and AI for what it is. They get it."

Hi I'm 90s Script Kiddie, I grew up online. I do #devops and #automation code stuff for my job. My hobbies are #gamedev, #vintageelectronics, #gaming, #repair ing stuff to keep it out of the landfill, old #apple hardware, #linux admin (I run my own mail, web, media etc servers) #network admin especially #pfsense, I love #books, #anime, #manga - reading in general really. #music too! Jazz, alt-rock, pop, folk, chiptunes... I also enjoy #cooking and am trying to get better at it. Beliefs-wise I'm something of an anarchist, yearning for a #solarpunk future I'll probably never live in, but I do what I can to do #mutualaid for the people in my circle. If you're my friend, I will set up all your electronics for you, replace the battery in your phone, give you some free mail or web hosting... whatever! I try to limit my consumption of news media for my own sanity, but I love reading about what people are doing in their own words. That's why I love the Fediverse, and it's why I'm lurking around on #gopher
I don't have a lot of friends. I've always been kind of a loner, and a little awkward. Luckily, I love my own company and have no problem spending time alone. Those few in my circle are people who I think make the world better by being in it.
I'm a #queer #bi #enby and I don't really give a hoot about what pronouns you use for me. Actually, I sort of feel like however you labeled me I'd want to break out of that box somehow. I guess I'm pretty contrary.
New #introduction who dis.
Update to #WoodpeckerCI v3.3.0!
Refactored admin docs, optimized BitbucketDC repository search, and fixed bugs. Enjoy enhanced performance and updated dependencies! #release #CI #automation
"Yes, these technologies and the many companies and products they spawned have changed how we work and live, but the economic consequences have been far from “revolutionary,” if by that we mean significantly improving the lives of most people. Worker earnings and economic growth have followed labor productivity in a similar downward trajectory. And given the limitations of AI systems, it is hard to imagine that their use will prove more effective in producing strong productivity gains and higher earnings for workers. Of course, that isn’t really the main point of the effort. Tech companies have made a lot of money over the years and they stand to make a lot more if they succeed in getting their various AI systems widely adopted.
(...)
So, what is to be done? At the risk of stating the obvious, we need to challenge the overblown claims of the leading tech companies and demand that the media stop treating their press releases as hard news. We need to resist the building of ever bigger data centers and the energy systems required to run them. We need to fight to restrict the use of AI systems in our social institutions, especially to guard against the destructive consequences of discriminatory algorithms. We need to organize in workplaces to ensure that workers have a voice in the design and use of any proposed AI system. And we must always ensure that humans have the ability to review and, when necessary, override AI decisions."
