To everyone here who’s educated, inspired and entertained me. Who’s opened my eyes to new things or different points of view. To those I’ve engaged with and to those I’ve yet to find. Wishing you and yours a peaceful Christmas and a happy and fulfilling 2022.

Found this sign on my walk today. It’s trying really hard to say something, but I’m not sure what or why.

If you’re interested in AI and debates around its benefit to humanity vs profit, this is a worthwhile thread. #AI #ChatGPT #HumanityFirst
Altman is currently trying to sell OpenAI to himself at a lowball price. It is a bit technical, so he may get away with it.
This is gonna take more than 1 tweet, and I'm no journalist but it makes me angry 🧵

Beating the hotel extortion racket. This is great! Bringing the barter economy. Dublin take note! Gardens4Gigs
I live right by Heaton Park.
If you're an Oasis fan and don't want to fork out £100s for a place to kip, you can camp in my garden. For free.
The only condition is that you get a ticket for me too. I'll pay for it, and I'll even throw in brews, breakfast and a driveway.

A beautiful day in the Dublin mountains. A 20 minute bus ride to a 10km hike. Lamb Doyles - Three Rock - Fairy Castle rounded off with chicken wings and a beer at the @BlueLightPub

I’m sitting here debating which is the correct plural of referendum. Is it referendums or referenda. Now I’ve gone down a rabbit hole. I think we need a referendum to let the People decide! How’s your Friday night? #Referendum2024

New job. Same company. I’m now a data protection & privacy engineer. Bit of a shift from the security engineer work I’ve been doing. Lots to learn.

Must read. How a recent online user data breach happened. Actionable steps for both organizations and users to prevent these kinds of attacks. Clearly written an easy to understand as usual from @RachelTobac
Thank you @lorenzofb @TechCrunch for discussing the 23andMe intrusion with me.
Here’s a breakdown thread with more of my thoughts:
1. What happened in this data leak?
2. What can orgs proactively do to prevent similar intrusions?
3. What can individuals do to limit their risk of account takeover in similar ways on other sites?

Waiting for my Garda Vetting clearance for Scouts to be renewed. It’s been “In Progress” for 2 weeks. Now feeling I must have done something bad in the last 3 years and trying to retrace my steps. 😬

🚨UPDATE APPLE DEVICES ASAP - PHONES, IPADS, COMPUTERS, WATCHES🚨
@citizenlab found an Apple exploit used in the wild that can compromise to watch/see/hear/spy thru Apple devices.
Exploit doesn't require you to click, attacker just sends it via iMessage.

When somebody says “I’m not being smart”, it’s because they know they’re “being smart”. #RTEgate

These RTE / Oireachtas committees have renewed my interest in politics. PAC for breakfast. Leaders questions for lunch (still on about children’s hospital all these years later). And media committee for tea. And no TV license needed ‘cos it’s on my computer!!

The interrogation is next level. Chair: “What were you selling for Cadbury’s?”. NK: “Chocolate”. #RTEgate

🍺 Barter Accounts Slushie IPA 💸
Our new beer brewed with Montrose hops and a secret blend of other things which we're trying to keep secret.
Price: really don't know, to be honest, can't remember.
Free rugby tickets with every 10000 cans bought.
#RTEgate #barteraccount
Adrian Lynch a lot more forthcoming this week than last week. Setting himself up as exec who stays. But in general, much less unity than last week. #RTEgate

“The rate of the DG’s salary is set by the department of public expenditure and reform and I guess other salaries are based off that”! Ouch! Touché, etc. 😂#RTEgate #oireachtas
