There are good cops too. But they are still part of a machine that harms. I think it is time we see what’s happening with CISA and even with NCSC and ICO etc as a wider plan to give up the pretence of caring about protecting individuals.

Who are these journalists getting their info from? I bet it is an LLM. Or some cyber bro who says he knows stuff. Just woeful

Telling teenagers that social media is the problem and they have to be banned from using it, while the news breathlessly reports social media arguments between the most powerful men in the world as if it is normal.

Agree. I’m seeing a lot of similar stuff, even tech writer jobs that are about “correcting llm output”… I also think we are a year away max from schools just buying ai tutors and running sessions where a sub is in the room with kids at screens. Jobs are at risk

ATT is the example I use with LastPass - customers did exactly the right thing and the company, one of them a security company ffs, didn’t . Meanwhile we get lectured about passwords again as if it matters

This has been the issue for cybersecurity for so long hasn’t it- the loss of consumer trust bc they do everything right and then some engineer or ciso doesn’t do the right thing and now our data is everywhere. While cyber people still act like gods who do no wrong

And it wasn’t just policy
It was ableism in schools
Teachers and staff and leaders who refused masks, mocked isolating, wanted it back to normal, didn’t care, didn’t fear sickness and didn’t care who got infected. That’s not just policy that’s a culture of harm that is pushing good teachers out

With masks? Air filters? Staff and children vaccinated? Maybe. But that wasn’t the vibe and the cruelty was the point in the end-
A mass disabling event used to profit edtech and the start of a campaign to convince society this generation is “damaged” and lacks skills so deserves less pay.

If only they had read your books as a warning. Because you SAID this

We arguably permanently disabled a generation by racing back with no masks ppe,air filters or provision for send , and now we chase kids who are off sick with probably covid related issues. Schools are broadly catalysts for harm and 2020 proved that. Boris “let it rip” and then pushed learning loss
comment in response to

I used to warn my friends outside education of the latest covid variant symptoms bc we’d see it rip through the school in sept onwards 21. Then six weeks later the BBC would report a new strain. Doing that with no ppe. Kids being orphaned, kids seeing another world was possible.. we never asked them

Balance was needed. I think many students could benefit from hybrid and it also ignores social support that has gone as you will know. But I taught the essential worker kids. They were just babysat. Even they didn’t come out well because of more than just “socialisation”. And we had no ppe btw

And nothing has changed in attitudes in fact we are regressing

We could have returned to hybrid, instead in the U.K. particularly, we let millions of children and adults see what flexible accommodations were, then we snatched it back. And now we have attendance teams bullying families for one day absent or families fighting for small accommodations.

I think a lot about how many people know Sam
Altman but don’t know if Dr timnit gebru or Emily bender.. and many others. And how many of these women were pushed out of jobs very good jobs in fact, that most of these men wouldn’t have got, just for speaking out

Sadly though, people are actually qualified in comms, IR and crisis comms. So they see through the fraud faster than they did the culture bs

Oh yeah and “incident response “
That’s a big grift now since NIST mentioned it

Half the people who flogged the cyber culture thing to death are now posing as “risk and crisis experts” or have completely moved onto ai.

Sums up U.K. cybersecurity
Make a few infographics
Refuse to admit there is no accountability and half the “chartered” people are frauds

It really feels like cybersecurity education is being phoned in these days, to hell with the punk I let’s make a list . Then all the worst people in cyber can pretend it matters to them and get a selfie with the ncsc CTO. And nothing will change
