I really don't want Neuralink putting electrodes in people's brains

It's not technophobia, derision of its potential, a rejection of progress or in anyway related to the idea of surgery.

Twisted Networks: Threat modelling 1 (Part 3)

Twisted Networks: What is machine learning? (Part 2)

First a few bits of groundwork. In short, machine learning is the study and implementation of software algorithms that improve automatically through experience. An algorithm in this instance being a programmatic means of solving a problem and is also referred to as a model.

In Libertatis: Hacking is an act of liberty, not a crime

From misinformation, to climate change and surveillance capitalism, we need an army of people asking how and why, rather than blindly accepting the answer dancing in the void.

Twisted Networks: Defending machine learning in practice (Part 1)

With every algorithm comes a set of user provided inputs and user provided inputs are entry points for abuse.

Don't s**t left when it comes to security

A security practitioners treatment for a severe case of shitting left.
