Charlie Kirk's killing will likely be one of the most politically destabilizing events in recent times. Wondering what folks think of the possibility that Putin could be behind it? We know he'll kill to further his objectives, and we know a primary objective of to destabilize America.

If anything I think it's material conditions that have deteriorated, not political climate. The main difference between now and 10 years ago is there is a quickly increasing number of people with basically nothing to lose. Their job prospects are fucked, their financial future is fucked, their medical care is fucked, and now increasingly they can't even afford groceries. If they believe their life is already forfeit, why not decide to throw it away for some political violence like this?

Seriously, Gabby Giffords was an active US Congresswoman and got shot in the fucking head in 2011, miraculously we didn't dissolve into total martial law. A bunch of senators got shot at at a baseball game after that, again, miraculously the union moved on.
This is a big story in part because it is shocking. Nobody that was a big Charlie Kirk fan has ever pretended to need an excuse for their violence or rhetoric. The idea that this is somehow opening a floodgate is preposterous. As if there hasn't already been elevated and extreme violence against their targets (immigrants, trans community, women etc.) this entire fucking time.

I think a formal request process is better where it's a requirement of the requestor to provide the vendors SOC 2 report, DPA, things like that. Rather than make you go on a wild goose chase, they can do the homework to provide info on if it's compliant or not.

Most times AI will link you to where in the documentation they're citing it so you can source to it.
But this is also a use case thing. If I'm generally exploring documentation of an API Reference, I want to scroll it myself cause I also want to see what other endpoints and such they have that I'm not even thinking about yet.
If it's a very specific thing, I dont want to dig through a whole doc to find like two lines. There's no benefit to me for doing that myself vs asking Gemini or something.

I was being somewhat facetious here too, but basically had they complied with even the most basic requirements of most cybersecurity insurances I've ever seen this sort of breach should've been pretty avoided short of someone just getting fully social engineered into it. Like I don't even know of sec insurance that doesn't ask you to enforce MFA where feasible

My favorite part is prompting an AI to do something (summarize a file contents) like five times in a row, where three of the times it thinks it can't read the file, the fourth time it says the file is empty, and the fifth time it reads and summarizes the file just fine, with zero changes being made to the prompt or file. This is what people trust to write their powershell with no understanding.

They almost definitely didn't have MFA but even if they did, some dumb shit happens like a single person's device becomes the push factor for a shared account and they get used to just clicking approve.
