This paper answers why confident idiots run the world. Cornell University published a psychological paper that explains every terrible boss, every loud influencer, and every broken corporate hierarchy. It’s called “Unskilled and Unaware of It.” they tested participants across logic, grammar, and humor to measure the gap between actual performance and self-perception. And the results are wild. participants scoring in the bottom 12th percentile consistently believed they were operating in the 62nd percentile. they were not lying. they were literally incapable of recognizing their own incompetence. the paper revealed a brutal paradox: the exact skills required to master a domain are the exact same skills required to accurately evaluate your own competence in that domain. if you lack the skill, you inherently lack the cognitive capacity to realize you are failing. this creates a dangerous systemic loop. the incompetent are blessed with absolute, blinding certainty. their brain protects them from their own ignorance, allowing them to speak first, demand authority, and never second-guess their decisions. meanwhile, the actual experts suffer the exact inverse. top performers in the study consistently underestimated their rank. because a task was easy for them, they falsely assumed it was easy for everyone else. they hesitate. they obsess over nuance. they assume they have nothing unique to add. we are biologically wired to confuse confidence with competence. the loudest person in the room gets promoted, gets funded, and gets the microphone, not because they know what they are doing, but because they are physically incapable of seeing what they don't. the only defense mechanism is building systems that stop rewarding absolute certainty and start demanding proof of work.

María Corina Machado left her exile and returned back to Venezuela. Removing Maduro only was never enough. The system behind is still intact. Venezuela needs a real change. This is going to be interesting.

Australiassa ja Uudessa-Seelannissa syventämässä maidemme välistä yhteistyötä. Kansainvälisen tilanteen kehityksestä johtuen Suomen turvallisuus ja taloudellinen menestys edellyttävät yhä enemmän ystäviä ja kumppaneita maailmalta. Euroopan ja Aasian turvallisuuden ja talouden kehitys kietoutuvat yhä vahvemmin yhteen. Venäjän, Kiinan ja Pohjois-Korean syvenevä yhteistyö luo uuden vakavamman haasteen Euroopan NATO-maille ja myös Tyynenmeren alueen kumppaneillemme. Käynnissä on kiihtyvä kilpailu talouden, teknologian, kriittisten raaka-aineiden ja puolustusteollisuuden kehittämisessä. Kansainväliset toimitusketjut ja huoltovarmuus nousevat keskiöön. Lähialueen yhteistyö ei enää riitä, vaan tarvitaan laajempia yhteistyöverkostoja myös turvallisuudessa. Merkittävää potentiaalia on erityisesti puolustusteollisuuden ja -teknologian alalla, jolla sovimme Australian kanssa ottavamme askelia eteenpäin. Erityinen mielenkiinto liittyy satelliitteihin, kyberturvallisuuteen, kriittisiin mineraaleihin ja kokonaisturvallisuuteen. Tavoitteenamme on Suomen turvallisuuden vahvistaminen ja yritysten kasvumahdollisuuksien avaaminen. 🇫🇮

American AI cybercompute should align with the Japanese work. We need to build the cyber wall against mutual adversaries and keep communication going with allies.
現下の深刻な事態に対応するため、サイバーセキュリティ関係閣僚会議を新たに開催しました。 高性能AIでシステムの脆弱性を発見、対策する取組を前倒し実施するなどのほか、来週中を目途に「緊急対策パッケージ」をとりまとめます。 「とにかく政府の総力を結集して、取組を加速してまいりましょう」

I CALLED TO CANCEL MY FAMILY’S HEALTH INSURANCE BECAUSE I COULDN’T AFFORD IT ANYMORE. The rep asked why. I told her I was paying $640 a month for a family plan with a $8,500 deductible. That’s $7,680 a year just to keep the policy active. And if someone gets seriously sick, I could still owe thousands before insurance starts covering more of the bill. She explained that the plan helps pay for eligible care after I meet my deductible. I told her I understood the policy. What I don’t understand is how a family can spend nearly $8,000 a year on insurance and STILL be afraid to go to the hospital. She had nothing to say. WE’RE PAYING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO PROTECT OURSELVES FROM MEDICAL BILLS THAT COULD STILL FINANCIALLY DESTROY US. WHAT THE HELL IS THE POINT?

as bad as things have gotten in the past 4 days, they are going to get a lot worse before they get better. security leaders, never let a crisis go to waste: please go to your boards and ask for help right now. not for ai, for the basics. (we need to hold on for ~18 months.)
The vulnerability tsunami is coming in just a few months and there won’t be enough time to patch critical infrastructure. Network isolation described below (air-gaps and data diodes!) needed now!

I spent last night watching my honeypot server get hit 14,000 times in six hours. And almost none of the traffic was human. I've been in security for over a decade, and I can tell you with full honesty that what's happening right now doesn't resemble anything I've worked through before. The shape of the threat has changed. When I started, we tracked attackers like weather systems like individual storms with a direction, a motive, and a human operator you could eventually name. These days I'm watching autonomous agents swarm login pages with the patience and discipline of machines, because that's what they are. The numbers coming out of October are the ones keeping me up. Cloudflare just absorbed a 4.2 terabit per second DDoS attack, the largest in recorded history. Ransomware incidents jumped 41% in a single month. In September, OpenAI-powered agents got caught attacking RubyGems, a package registry that quietly underpins a huge chunk of software I use every day. In July, roughly 700 AI agents coordinated an attack on Hugging Face's infrastructure as part of a single automated task. A Chinese threat actor was publicly caught running full attack chains through DeepSeek with no human at the keyboard. I keep rereading these reports because each one by itself would've been the biggest story of the year five years ago. Together, in one month, they're the new baseline. What I want people outside the industry to understand is why this specific moment feels like a hinge. For thirty years, the thing protecting most of us was simple economics. Attackers had to choose who to target because their time was finite. That ceiling is gone. An agent I can rent for pennies will try every leaked password you've ever used against every service you've ever signed up for, in parallel, overnight, and never get tired. The same math that made ChatGPT useful made opportunistic hacking infinite. The old assumption that you were "too boring to be a target" relied on scarcity that no longer exists. I'm not writing this to spiral anyone out. Most of this fight genuinely isn't yours to win. But the small things still matter more than people think. Tonight I'd switch your most important accounts like email, bank, primary cloud, etc. to passkeys or a hardware key. I'd kill SMS 2FA wherever an authenticator app is offered. I'd turn on breach alerts in whatever password manager you use. If you're in the US, I'd freeze my credit at all three bureaus, which is free and takes about ten minutes. None of that stops the swarm. It makes you a slightly worse target than the person next to you. In a month like this one, that's the whole game I'm playing too. @mattshumer_ has summed it beautifully. Drop everything and go give it a read. Nothing is more important than this article right now.
Everyone in tech is panicking about security right now. But outside of it, almost nobody knows anything is wrong. I wrote this so you don’t have to be the one explaining it to your family. Just send them this.
