Hayley Law in Altered Carbon (2018) Fallen Angel

Kovacs accepts Bancroft's offer and begins the investigation using videos Bancroft had received threatening his life. He identifies the serial number of a weapon in a video and tracks down the owner, a former military soldier. Meanwhile Lt. Ortega uses a device to follow Kovacs's movements and whereabouts.

Imagine Egg A1 still has one life left, and it somehow manages to escape the facility... It is being followed by mobs, by Federation employees, being hurt by the poison ivy and other environmental threats, but it keeps running, because what other choice is there? That parkour course was a trick after all, the last block was a fake, it was never meant to pass that test in the first place.

So it keeps running, but the Federation workers are getting closer. It won't be able to avoid them forever...

But then it bursts through some bushes and comes face to face with someone new - and it's Bad, out building or exploring or just wandering alone. A1 is immediately afraid, of course. It is a stranger, a very visually striking stranger, the complete opposite of the pure white and featureless employees of the Federation. But there are people close behind, and it knows what will happen to it if it is caught, so... It has no choice but to try. It has no way to communicate, no signs or books, so it simply rushes to hide behind him and hopes he understands, and that he is willing to help...

And Bad, for his part, well.. he's an extremely cautious and paranoid person, and this is just an incredibly confusing and unexpected situation to be in. An unknown egg appeared out of nowhere and is hiding behind him, he can see Federation employees in the distance that are clearly looking for something... He knows that the code has been disguising itself as eggs, and that the strange egg in front of him with no marks, no distinguishing features, an egg that he has never seen before, could easily be the code monster preparing to attack at any moment...

But there is absolutely no way Bad could ever look at an egg in distress and not try to help it, even knowing it could be a trap.

So he quickly digs a shallow hole and pushes the mysterious egg into it, covering it up just in time, and when the employees throw him a book asking if he had seen anything, he lies effortlessly, he complains about nonsense, he asks them where the Ekea is and is as annoying as he can be, until they leave.

And now they're alone... just Bad an this mystery egg in the middle of the woods, A1 too afraid to leave the hole even when Bad tries to coax it out. He gives it food and tries his best to comfort it, to tell it everything is okay and that the pursuers are gone. He gives it some signs and a book, trying to see if it will write anything to him or answer any of his questions, but he gets no reply. A1 is just too afraid to even attempt to answer, and Bad doesn't even know if it understands him. He tries what few words he does know of the other languages, and still no response.

What should he do? As much as the image of a tiny, terrified egg makes him want to do all he can for it he also needs to be safe. He can't bring it home, because if it is a code there is no way he is bringing it anywhere near Dapper. Should he call someone else for help, or would that draw too much attention? Would it even be safe for him or the egg to let anyone know right now? And was this egg dangerous, or harmless and in need of protection? He wouldn't abandon it regardless but...

What now?

Because of AO3 being scraped by/for AI, I'm going to be restricting my fics to registered users.

I'm sorry to any unregistered users who enjoy my series, but I need to prioritize protecting my work.

You'll still be able to see it if you have/make a registered account. Here's a thread that touches upon the issue ⬇️

[skooteg]

Ai in adobe drives me NUTS. I can’t understand why someone would want ai to do their editing for them instead of just learning how to do it. Laziness? Maybe. Convenience and the lack of ability to just Be Bothered To? Most definitely.

My classmate and I had a discussion—albeit brief—about this very thing earlier today. We are both professionally certified in adobe photoshop. He used ai to extend. a. WALL. A BLANK WALL. When I asked why he didn’t just spend to forty five second to mask, dupe, and patch clone/blend/blur seams of wall to extend the image upward, his response was “ai could do it.”

SIR, THAT IS YOUR JOB?

Ai is bullshit. It makes me angry. I cannot understand why the primal, human urge to create things has been conditioned to be fast. Art is not convenient and instantaneous. Art takes time—it’s a process that develops through experience and develops your experience. Don’t just cheat yourself out of something because you can’t be bothered to be proud of your work.

no i don't want to use your ai assistant. no i don't want your ai search results. no i don't want your ai summary of reviews. no i don't want your ai feature in my social media search bar (???). no i don't want ai to do my work for me in adobe. no i don't want ai to write my paper. no i don't want ai to make my art. no i don't want ai to edit my pictures. no i don't want ai to learn my shopping habits. no i don't want ai to analyze my data. i don't want it i don't want it i don't want it i don't fucking want it i am going to go feral and eat my own teeth stop itttt

Google launches Sec-Gemini v1, A New Cybersecurity Model

Sec-Gemini v1

Sec-Gemini v1, an experimental cybersecurity AI model.

As said a year ago, attackers must find and exploit a single flaw, while defenders must fight all cyberthreats. This inherent imbalance makes systems security harder, slower, and riskier. AI-powered cybersecurity procedures are pushing more cybersecurity specialists than ever, which may help the defenders win.

Modern thinking and cybersecurity expertise are needed to enable SecOps processes. Sec-Gemini v1 combines Gemini's advanced capabilities with near-real-time cybersecurity solutions. That helps it with cybersecurity tasks like threat analysis, vulnerability impact understanding, and incident root cause analysis.

The insistence that the cybersecurity community must collaborate to improve AI cybersecurity limits to dramatically favour the defenders. This is why they are making Sec-Gemini v1 available for research usage by a restricted number of institutions, experts, NGOs, and organisations.

Sec-Gemini v1 outperforms other models on cybersecurity benchmarks due to its advanced integration of Google Threat Intelligence (GTI), OSV, and other data sources. On CTI-MCQ, a key threat intelligence benchmark, Sec-Gemini v1 outperforms other models by 11% (figure 1). It outperforms other models by 10.5% on the CTI-Root Cause Mapping benchmark (Figure 2):

Below, Sec-Gemini v1 answers critical cybersecurity questions thoroughly. First, Sec-Gemini v1 can identify Salt Typhoon as a threat actor and describe it well because to its tight connection with Mandiant Threat intelligence data.

Next, when asked about Salt Typhoon vulnerabilities, Sec-Gemini v1 provides context for threat actors (using Mandiant data) and vulnerability details (using OSV data, Google's open-source vulnerabilities database). Sec-Gemini v1 helps analysts understand vulnerability risk and threat profiles faster.

Key ideas and themes

Google's experimental Sec-Gemini v1 AI model aims to advance cybersecurity AI.

Sec-Gemini v1 aims to help cybersecurity defenders overcome the basic imbalance where attackers simply need to identify one threat while they must counter every threat. Google claims that AI-powered cybersecurity procedures can tilt the scales in favour of defenders by enhancing cybersecurity specialists' efficacy. Sec-Gemini v1 uses Gemini's advanced reasoning and near-real-time cybersecurity technologies to achieve its aims. It performs better due of integration in critical cybersecurity operations like:

Incident root cause analysis;

Analysis of threats

Knowledge of vulnerability affects

Google emphasises cybersecurity specialists working together to progress the field. Sec-Gemini v1 is accessible for study by a restricted number of organisations, institutes, professionals, and non-governmental groups to support this.

Its high cybersecurity benchmark performance is due to its smart integration of Google Threat Intelligence (GTI), OSV (Google's open-source vulnerabilities database), and other data sources. Sec-Gemini v1 outperforms other models by at least 11% on the CTI-MCQ test, a major threat intelligence benchmark.

A least 10.5% score on the CTI-Root Cause Mapping benchmark, which evaluates an LLM's understanding of vulnerability descriptions, root cause identification, and CWE taxonomy classification.

AI detects phishing attempts by analyzing email content and sender behavior.

Machine learning models predict cyberattacks based on historical data.

AI-driven endpoint security ensures real-time protection for devices.

2. Automated Incident Response

AI accelerates threat mitigation by automatically responding to cyber incidents. Instead of waiting for manual intervention, AI-driven security systems isolate infected devices, block malicious IP addresses, and neutralize threats in real-time.

AI-powered firewalls and intrusion detection systems (IDS) improve network security.

Automated security operations centers (SOCs) enhance rapid threat resolution.

3. Behavioral Analytics for Cybersecurity

AI analyzes user behavior to detect unusual activities. If an employee's login pattern suddenly changes or unauthorized data access occurs, AI flags it as a potential threat.

AI-driven identity and access management (IAM) prevents unauthorized logins.

Behavioral biometrics enhance authentication security.

4. AI in Cloud Security

As cloud computing adoption grows, cyber threats targeting cloud environments also rise. AI enhances cloud security by:

Identifying misconfigurations that could expose data.

Monitoring cloud access patterns for suspicious activities.

Detecting malware in cloud storage services.

Challenges of AI in Cybersecurity

Despite its advantages, AI-powered cybersecurity faces challenges, including:

False Positives & Negatives: AI must continuously learn to minimize detection errors.

High Implementation Costs: AI-driven security solutions require significant investment.

The UK government has introduced four groundbreaking laws to combat AI-generated child sexual abuse material (CSAM). It is now illegal to possess, create, or distribute AI tools designed for CSAM, with offenders facing up to five years in prison. Additional measures criminalize AI paedophile manuals, operating websites for child exploitation, and refusing Border Force access to digital devices.

Home Secretary Yvette Cooper emphasized the urgency of adapting laws to tackle evolving online threats. While experts welcome the changes, some argue for stricter bans on "nudify" apps and AI-simulated abuse content to further protect children.
