One good way to think about AI—and all major tech movements like electrification, the internet, etc—is as a Technological Weather Event. Not just to say that it’s mostly unavoidable, but that it really matters how we think about and prepare for them as a population.

You don’t have to believe that companies want to fire all their employees to see AI’s threat to jobs. That’s negative framing. Most company leaders are regular, decent people who generally care about others. danielmiessler.com/blog/better-...

We're about to get precisely the right amount of AI Security. No more and no less. Hear me out… I talked before about what I called the Efficient Security Principle, which says the excitement for a technology lowers its required security bar... Read more here: danielmiessler.com/blog/ai-secu...

With all this AI job and economy disruption, don’t forget that we tend to overestimate short term progress and underestimate it in the long term. Read the full essay to see what I think it will look like: danielmiessler.com/blog/slow-th...

Watched The Accountant 2 and loved the concept of Acquired Savant Syndrome—when brain injury unlocks genius. What if ASI could figure out how to trigger that intentionally? AI shouldn’t just make better AI. It should make better humans.

The future isn’t AI plus context—it’s context first, then AI. I call it Unified Entity Context, and I think it changes how we approach everything from security to decision-making. New video: youtu.be/IHUqk90ch7I Sponsored by Project Discovery → ul.live/PD1

Most every task is easier if you have more information. One of AI's primary benefits won't be just making smarter decisions itself, but providing the narrative context to make the decision easy for anyone.

Our jobs mentality is based on a lie. ➡️ We were told that there are special people who make things—but we're not one of them. ➡️ And our role is to work for one of them, hopefully… Fuck that. The illusion is collapsing. You are the special person. You can make things.

🎙️ I sat down with Bar-el Tayouri of Mend AI to talk about the future of AI security—and why it’s evolving faster than any category before it. We covered malicious models, agent discovery, and more. If you're building with AI, this one's essential. youtu.be/538JTah7dTY

I’ve been thinking about how AI might reshape what it means to be a developer. We’re hearing a lot of predictions—some saying tech jobs will vanish, others saying AI will supercharge demand. But I think the more interesting shift is in who companies will need. 🧵

One of the biggest use cases for prompt injection and persuasion will be in product API’s targeting models and digital assistant agents with marketing. Marketing targeting humans won’t be nearly as important as the marketing targeting the AI working for the humans.

Moats aren’t just for businesses. In the age of AI and infinite replication, individuals need them too. Ask yourself: — What makes you hard to copy? — What will still be uniquely you in 5 years? This is the new career planning.

💡People are obsessing over the specific AI tech that will replace human workers… …but the bigger point is that companies are so excited about replacing workers in the first place. 🔥Corporate Mindset ➡️ Independent Mindset

Visual persuasion is a double-edged sword. Once you see something, your brain starts believing it—even if it’s false. In a world of AI-generated content and visual manipulation, literacy isn’t enough. We need epistemic defense systems. How are you building yours?

💡 Want to improve your strategy? Try inversion. Instead of asking what to do, ask: 👉 What actions would guarantee failure? Then… just don’t do those things. It’s a simple but powerful shift. What are your top “don’ts” for your space?

So that's Tariffs, TikTok, and CVE—all deferred for 90 days. This is how you build suspense in a reality TV show.
