#Risk
Another great episode of the #AlgorithmicFutures @algfutures #podcast, this time talking about the #NuclearMindset.
What I learned from this episode is the importance of long-term thinking, understanding the consequences of your planning decisions, and how "undoable" some long-term decisions are. It's a different approach to #risk, and one far removed from the tech-centric "move fast and break things" mindset.

The new chapter of a cinder of power is uploaded!
synopsis:
The Warfang or the City of dragons will stand no longer defiantly against Cynder's might. However, before Spyro can open the gates and let the army flood into the city, he needs to face off against the only guardian who is left. His old mentor and perhaps the closest of his friends. All this without his elemental powers, all this to prove to the army that he is worthy of being a general. That he can bring victory without their queen's might. Would he be strong enough? Would he be able to please Cynder with his strength?

@KimPerales Hope they are also looking at the national security threat that is represented by thousands of satellites under his control in low earth orbit.

Explicit risk calculation is only a few centuries old, originally by invented gamers and co-opted by insurance. Experts in their area, either way.
Humans are instinctively fantastic at experimentation & adaptation but not slow, laborious quantification — especially when we’re getting paid to deliver software shinies, not calculate “risk.”
So, why do we ask devs to calculate “#cyber #risk”? Shouldn’t we be designing ways to remove or reduce the relevant hazards? Miss me with the “it’s too hard”

In an amusing twist of #SelectionBias, the death rates were 11% lower than even pre #COVID normal life expectancy for vaccinated people. Probably because people who take #vaccines tend to be more informed about #health #risk.

I usually like the "More or Less" #podcast from the #BBC, but this one on the #Fukushima tritium discharge, and how it's really very safe and low #risk, is annoying me.
It's all very well to say that the science is fine, and nobody will be hurt - But that doesn't change the social and economic impact of what people believe anyway.
They touch on the fact that the stress from the fear of the radiation impact is damaging to health, but in a somewhat sarcastic manner.

Looking for some advise on #infosec #vulnerability management / #risk management process.
Scenario: You have a vendor-supplied container image in your production cloud. A vulnerability scan for it reveals some CVEs. The image is already on the latest version, so you cannot just update to fix it. The details available for the CVEs are murky at best and image source code is not available to you, which hinders any reproduction or exploit susceptibility assessment.
Questions:
1. For internal process, what do you require for burden of proof before filing an internal ticket or asking other staff to address the finding? Is just the existence of the scanner finding enough? Or do you require your #SecOps staff to do a susceptibility / false positive analysis first?
2. Other than filing a ticket with the image maintainer, what do you do to assess and manage the risk until a new version comes out that hopefully addresses the issue?
@kevincollier
I don't know the details/politics of this specific case. But I know that #debt is a serious #risk factor for security #clearances. Ask any #intelligence agency.

Douglas Hofstadter changes his mind on Deep Learning & #AI #risk (June 2023)? https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/kAmgdEjq2eYQkB5PP/douglas-hofstadter-changes-his-mind-on-deep-learning-and-ai
Gonna poll #privacy and #compliance folks here. This was originally posted on Twitter.
I'm reading a lot on how having a lack of impact in one's job leads to feelings of pointlessness, despair and burnout (or as Emmett Shear calls it, 'Broken Steering' or Sasha Chapin says feeling like a 'dust banana'.)
I have written about how I have largely moved away from a DPO role for this very reason: https://careylening.substack.com/p/welcome
In a related thread, the author over at Liminal Warmth (https://liminalwarmth.substack.com/p/responsiveness-defines-meaningful) adds to this - many of us in knowledge work are effectively paid to sit around and wait for crises, and a large % of the work we actually do is invented in part to help people cope and avoid thinking about all the hurry-up-and-waiting we engage in. I saw this a lot as a #DPO, and likened it to generating 'symbolic representations of the thing' rather than the thing itself.
But I wonder - is that just me? Is it just me who doesn't see #impact in compliance, or do others share that sentiment? If you're in #compliance (#dataprotection #security #risk #KYC etc) do you find impact and value in your role? If so, tell me! I want to know more.
(PS, I already know, people hate Substack and Twitter. If you don't like those services, that's totally fine, consider it acknowledged)
Tim Snyder:
"Both the #risk and the #humiliation were incomparably greater than anything that could happen in #Ukraine. Compared to power in #Russia, land in 🇺🇦 is unimportant.
After what we have just seen, no one should be arguing that #Putin might be backed into a corner in 🇺🇦 and take some terrible decision.
He cannot be backed into a corner in 🇺🇦.
He can only be backed into a corner in 🇷🇺.
And now we know what he does when that happens: record a speech and run away."

Farmer's Insurance no longer will write new policies in #Florida due to #hurricanes. "With catastrophe costs at historically high levels and reconstruction costs continuing to climb, we implemented a pause on writing new homeowners policies to more effectively manage our risk exposure" #climate #risk https://www.wesh.com/article/farmers-insurance-property-policies-florida/44189948
Is there another model to help us think about this?
Yes, I think so.
Why use a different model than the risk model?
Because #COVID #Risk is so challenging to think about.
Why?
There are so many moving parts in the risk calculation.
Prof. David Fisman called this the "Lemony Snicket's Series of Unfortunate Events" pandemic.
Unfortunate events doesn't mean infrequent. Or low impact. The payoff is risk of death, or long term disability. And the risk appears to compound.
UNVT Portable - Portable MapServers For Disaster Response

" ‘UNVT Portable’ is a package for RaspberryPi that functions as a map hosting server and can be freely accessed from a web browser within a local network.
It is mainly intended to function in an offline environment during times of severe disaster, and is expected to play an active role... where disaster response headquarters are set up to assess the situation and respond to disasters by combining aerial drone images taken after a disaster occurs with OpenStreetMap and various open data tile data sets prepared in advance…”

Let's play a game, every time you see a headline or concern about the risks of artificial intelligence, replace "AI" with "capitalist corporations".
You will find sentences full of sense like "What should be the limits of capitalist corporations?", "Do capitalist corporations pose an existential risk?", "Let's make sure that capitalist corporations can be safe before continuing building them".
The most powerful AIs are fully controlled by corporations.
@Sivation Risk is something that private enterprise is very curiously dysfunctional about.
To one extent, incorporation and corporations are risk-externalising machines.
To another, they specifically ignore systemic risks or those that they don't understand / feel unable to control.
Some of that latter is explained, I think, by investors' incentives, where to an investor a given enterprise is simply one element within a larger risk pool. Failure is unfortunate but a diversified event. For those directly engaged with an enterprise (its workers, often officers, vendors/suppliers, customers, and frequently neighbours within the space the enterprise operates), that risk is not diversified and is far more consequential.
You could also include employees, consultants, and/or contractors who have high mobility relative to the firm itself. If you're able to hop to another gig, or use a firm as "resume-driven development" (common practice in infotech), then personal and organisational risk profiles are similarly misaligned.
Much of the schizoid behaviour of businesses regarding various risks makes far more sense in this context.
