Living in the US feels like being on a prank show where you know it’s a prank show and you’re just patiently waiting for the presenters to make the big reveal so you can go on with your day

Can you imagine being an intelligent life form visiting earth and finding out that we've figured out how to harness nuclear fission as well as produce artificial fusion, but all we've done with it is make really big bombs and our current solution to climate change is to basically just put fucking solar panels and windmills on every surface

I'm like fully panicking because a company reached out to inquire about hiring me and asked if I could send over my CV, so I tried writing one and it's just complete ass. I've basically only worked for a single company my entire career, never even had an official job title, and all my cybersecurity achievements are just random side quests that are completely unrelated to my actual job. On top of that, the only major impact I'm allowed to talk about is stopping WannaCry, which from a technical perspective is not even remotely impressive. I think I'm actually going to resort to the same thing I did on my original CV when I applied for my first cybersecurity job and just link to random posts on my blog 😭

People on LinkedIn replying saying it was technically a cyber attack because remotely detonating bombs uses electronic signals

People in cybersecurity: "Why does nobody take us seriously?" Also people in cybersecurity:

Like, these are actually well respected cybersecurity professionals who are consistently invited onto mainstream TV to talk about cybersecurity.

I can't believe people are actually going with the cybersecurity angle here. Sure, in some super rare edge cases, there are probably circuits that could be hacked and overloaded to cause the Lithium-Ion batter powering it to combust. But Lithium-Ion batteries don't explode. They combust over the course of a couple of second to minutes. Not to mention, even if batteries did explode, which they don't, we're talking a single triple A battery not an EV cell.

We've all been so busy worrying about what if AI becomes self-aware, we forgot to consider what if Elon Musk becomes self aware? Right now he's dangerously close to realizing that he actually isn't at all funny and that people only laugh at his jokes because they need his money.
