PSA: If you use ComfyUI_LLMVISION in ComfyUI, it was hacked by "Nullbulge Group" and had malware injected. It had Async remote access trojan for Windows embedded in it.

"This repository provides integration of GPT-4 and Claude 3 models into ComfyUI, allowing for both image and text-based interactions within the ComfyUI workflow."

thoughts:

They badly needed a good showcase as the Xbox brand is in self inflicted turmoil... and they got it I think. It was great.

Lots of big games and new IP to look forward to.

Not announcing a Pro console when PS5 are about to announce one for this year will probably lead to further console sales erosion but I think they've just given up on hardware now.

Two big updates:

Starfield House Varun DLC trailer, launches this year but undated: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNM1HFzQC8c

(I tooted about that 6 weeks ago, they accidentally leaked it).

And the big one: surprise Starfield update dropping today: loads of new content in it, official mod support, mod marketplace, Creation Kit etc.

A company paid a ransomware group.. then had their info leaked by the same ransomware group anyway. Not isolated at all, eg UnitedHealthcare paid $20m and then got extorted again by the same person.

Stop paying ransomware groups. You are directly funding serious organised crime. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/pandabuy-pays-ransom-to-hacker-only-to-get-extorted-again/

Very amusing seeing Frank taking a victory lap for Twitter when the Mastodon thread consistently has more boosts and favourites.

I think it’s entirely possible I’ve committed career suicide over Recall.

Worth it though. Had that shipped as planned it would have been a disaster.

I strongly believe we're within 5 years of the generative AI boom collapsing almost completely, and it will have a profound economic impact, as the use cases for the products being sold almost entirely suck arse.

It's 2am and I'm going through this Copilot+ PC (kindly provided) and we're into the profanity filtering.

Twitter is wild for galaxy brain 'controversial' replies.

Microsoft could release Windows 12, where it automatically posts your screen to Instagram every 1 minute, and somebody would be like 'You can disable it if you want, it's fine, blowback totally overblown, people are just thick'.

If you’re ever feeling sad in your career please remember that in 2017, Universal execs proudly announced to the world they were making a cinematic universe from The Mummy and The Invisible Man.

361 million credentials for websites stolen via infostealers have been added to Have I Been Pwned.

Soon we will also have key and screen logs via Recall also being stolen, eg financial account details.

Very big cyber incident playing out at Snowflake, who describe themselves as “AI Data Cloud”. They have a free trial where anybody can sign up and upload data… and they have.

Threat actors have been scraping customer data using a tool called rapeflake, for about a month.

On 10th May 2024, Keytronic filed an 8-K with the SEC for a data breach.

Turns out it was ransomware, Black Basta say they have 530gb of data. Keytronic haven’t informed customers.

In my opinion - I think more people in the cyber industry and government should be speaking out against Copilot Recall being deployed in this manner.

I think most people will know what harm it will cause having a text database of everything the user has ever typed and viewed. Our parents will be using this.

I know it will drive business through incidents but.. surely there’s a line?

It feels so profoundly depressing, and like nobody cares about actually securing things for people.

Things I’ve been asked to produce over the years as a manager in security:

  • Blockchain strategy
  • Metaverse strategy
  • Generative AI strategy

Amount of times this has had any value: 0

Perhaps the reason businesses largely haven’t grown for a decade is because they have failed to concentrate on ensuring good operations and making products customers care about.. but instead they’ve rushed off the latest fad cliff like Lemmings.

If Google starts responding to searches by telling people to install Linux, I will know they trained their AI from Mastodon.
