Sitting pretty

"the ability to anticipate, withstand, recover from, and adapt to adverse conditions, stresses, attacks, or compromises on systems that use or are enabled by cyber resources” 

May 2026 NIST Special Publication 800-172r3

After a decade of avoiding No Man’s Sky I finally jumping in this absolutely massive computer-generated sandbox.  My In-game economics were rough as I skipped through planets totally broke and after an unknown mission I hit the jackpot and got bumped up to 120,000,000 Units (aka in-game cash)…no use of AI, just one known exploit used and over 100 hours game play.

So what’s next after you wake up sitting on a bed of cash?

Where to find motivation once you reach a high achievement?  Peak to Peak Principe? I’ve uninstalled and pre-ordered GTA 6…back to IRL for now.

s.21(1) Theft Act 1968

Today in the UK: There are no known, clearly identifiable UK criminal prosecutions, outside deepfake and images creation involving minors, where AI was the central offending mechanism. Does this mean there are no other threats?

Who is accountable for these blackmail-related risks today?

AI-assisted phishing;

AI-generated fake documents;

AI-assisted malware;

AI-generated false evidence in legal proceedings;

Didn’t wait in Vain

Dare I say it, deepfakes have triggered an era of human questioning the actual reality of things right in front of your face. I am curious about folk you are truly off-grid i.e. no smartphone, no internet connection and purely using cash for stuff. Making one’s life inconvenience hardly seems worth the effort, but I still long for a Faraday Jacket.

Quietness

Like many, I dislike the winter season. The lack of sunlight and cold, wet weather makes me want to go into hibernation. So preparation is the key and this year it’s about basics, good transportation and a toasty warm wardrobe.

I’ve started a new chapter and there are still so many open real life issues to deal with. Meanwhile, I’ve started my journey around Mount Yotei exploring, hunting and living a story I can really lose myself in. At this point in time, I’m 5 times happier than I was 2 months ago.

Better is a handful with quietness, than both the hands full with travail and vexation of the spirit.

print(“Error: Path not found.”)

Something, the path ahead is truly unclear. I try to see this as an opportunity to explore even though humans are now faking or supplementing their own intelligence with Ai creating a dull, false sense of “know-how”. I’m not an Ai hater but over reliance on these tools is surely likely to dumb us down.

I’m on the path to upgrade my wisdom by reading more, doing lab work, watching demos and tinkering with tools I’ve never used before. Some of it is boring but I just need 10% of it to embed into my muscle memory and hopefully give me more ideas and back up my creative thinking.

Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.
