  • Claire is wonderful

    I find her speech extremely easy to understand, even at 1.5 (that’s my normal setting, and the Bulletin is over before I remember that😅).

    Not your problem I believe but although one thing she does well is phrase sentences and paragraphs, the AI transcription (which is remarkably accurate at the word and sentence levels) invariably breaks paragraphs one sentence too early. Maybe you can put a bug in Apple’s ear on this?

  • Great podcast but…

    They produce great shows but it gets to be a hard listen when Patrick Gray always talks over everyone. He never lets them finish their thoughts without interjecting all the time. Very annoying to say the least. He clearly wants to be the star.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Sponsored: Sublime Security on the rise of ISC calendar phishing
Q: What are the most common lures and forms Sublime have seen in the wild that everyone should be aware of?
Wescott describes callback scams that urge recipients to call about a supposed charge, and password-stealing invitations that use urgent messages and links to harvest credentials.
Sponsored: Sublime Security on the rise of ISC calendar phishing
Q: What's going on here? Do you have any theory on why this is happening?
Wescott attributes the growth partly to large language models that generate varied phishing messages, and partly to attackers copying a tactic that is proving successful while calendar providers catch up.
Sponsored: Should your threat hunt become a detection?
Q: What does the advanced version add to the framework?
It backs the evaluation with data, including cross-platform tests and companion rules, adversary simulation, false-positive validation, and checking whether findings can trigger an automated response playbook.
Sponsored: Should your threat hunt become a detection?
Q: What does each letter in GATES stand for?
GATES means generalizable, additive, tunable, exposure-tested and sustainable. The criteria evaluate repeatability, coverage value, ability to distinguish malicious from benign behavior, resilience across attack paths, and ongoing telemetry and maintenance requirements.
Sponsored: Agents don’t care about human ideas of right and wrong
Q: Yet a model having seen far more of all of humans understanding, why can they not understand good from bad, right from wrong? Is this a temporary problem? Is it a forever problem?
Devon says humans care about their actions and can feel accountability, while models do not. He argues that human intent must therefore be translated into enforceable rules that govern agent behavior.
