At the 2023 Defcon hacker conference in Las Vegas, prominent AI tech companies partnered with algorithmic integrity and transparency groups to sic thousands of attendees on generative AI platforms and find weaknesses in these critical systems. This “red-teaming” exercise, which also had support from the US government, took a step in opening these increasingly influential yet opaque systems to scrutiny. Now, the ethical AI and algorithmic assessment nonprofit Humane Intelligence is taking this model one step further. On Wednesday, the group announced a call for participation with the US National Institute of Standards and Technology, inviting any US resident to participate in the qualifying round of a nationwide red-teaming effort to evaluate AI office productivity software.

The qualifier will take place online and is open to both developers and anyone in the general public as part of NIST's AI challenges, known as Assessing Risks and Impacts of AI, or ARIA. Participants who pass through the qualifying round will take part in an in-person red-teaming event at the end of October at the Conference on Applied Machine Learning in Information Security (CAMLIS) in Virginia. The goal is to expand capabilities for conducting rigorous testing of the security, resilience, and ethics of generative AI technologies.

“The average person utilizing one of these models doesn’t really have the ability to determine whether or not the model is fit for purpose,” says Theo Skeadas, chief of staff at Humane Intelligence. “So we want to democratize the ability to conduct evaluations and make sure everyone using these models can assess for themselves whether or not the model is meeting their needs.”

The final event at CAMLIS will split the participants into a red team trying to attack the AI systems and a blue team working on defense. Participants will use the AI 600-1 profile, part of NIST's AI risk management framework, as a rubric for measuring whether the red team is able to produce outcomes that violate the systems' expected behavior.

“NIST's ARIA is drawing on structured user feedback to understand real-world applications of AI models,” says Humane Intelligence founder Rumman Chowdhury, who is also a contractor in NIST's Office of Emerging Technologies and a member of the US Department of Homeland Security AI safety and security board. “The ARIA team is mostly experts on sociotechnical test and evaluation, and [is] using that background as a way of evolving the field toward rigorous scientific evaluation of generative AI.”

Chowdhury and Skeadas say the NIST partnership is just one of a series of AI red team collaborations that Humane Intelligence will announce in the coming weeks with US government agencies, international governments, and NGOs. The effort aims to make it much more common for the companies and organizations that develop what are now black-box algorithms to offer transparency and accountability through mechanisms like “bias bounty challenges,” where individuals can be rewarded for finding problems and inequities in AI models.

“The community should be broader than programmers,” Skeadas says. “Policymakers, journalists, civil society, and nontechnical people should all be involved in the process of testing and evaluating of these systems. And we need to make sure that less represented groups like individuals who speak minority languages or are from nonmajority cultures and perspectives are able to participate in this process.”

Ortho - Hack Attack

Prompt: Doll

Ortho paused when he felt an uncomfortable nudge in the back of his conscience. He activated his firewall programs and analyzed the foreign presence. “I think someone is attempting to hack my systems.” 

The others paused to stare back at him. When Ortho had mentioned the tech expo a few weeks ago, he had been surprised by how the others naturally began planning the short weekend trip. Even Sebek loudly proclaimed how foolish it was for them to travel to a foreign place with no protection and included himself after receiving Lilia’s blessing. They were an odd group walking around the small convention center, but Ortho would have only been happier if Idia had tagged along with them. 

“You mean," Yuu slowly said, “someone is trying to attack you?” 

Ortho hummed. “I suppose in simple terms that would be accurate. They’re not being very hostile. I would say they were more testing my firewalls out of curiosity. Some of the other guys in the dorm ask to do the same for practice developing their own anti-malware programs.” 

No sooner had the words left him did the presence return with a much higher intensity. A piercing pain briefly raked through him. He huffed to cover a wince. “That’s just rude!” 

“They trying to hack you again?” Ace asked. He looked less concerned and more relaxed than Yuu, folding his hands behind his head. “Guess we shouldn't be too surprised. These nerds have been practically drooling over you since we got here.” 

“They thought you were some kind of… autonomous doll?” Jack added, only slightly stumbling over the phrase. His ears flicked back and forth from the constant echo of voices in the large room. “They even asked Deuce what AI software was installed in you” 

Ace snorted. “Like Dunce here looks smart enough to program a toaster.” 

While Deuce and Ace bantered with each other, Ortho focused on his attacker. It was easy enough to create a decoy to distract the hacker while Ortho followed the remote connection back to its source. They were clearly amateurs, neglecting to realize they left themselves completely open to a counterattack. Ortho made quick work of their systems. 

“All done!” Ortho said cheerfully when his consciousness returned to his frame. Deuce sputtered mid-word, and Jack jumped beside Ortho. “I won’t have to worry about them anymore.” 

From across the conference room came a distressed shout. “My computer’s smoking!” 

“What the heck? Mine’s playing outdated memes over and over again.” 

Grim snickered on Yuu’s shoulder. “That’ll teach ‘em to think twice about messing with us!” 

“I have to become more proficient with the technology they have here!” Sebek declared. “If Malleus was attacked in the same manner, then I would be completely useless. I will not allow that to happen!” 

“I don’t think you have to worry too much about that,” Ortho said. No longer concerned with his attackers, he moved to the next booth in their path. “But I would be happy to show you how to counter a cyber-attack!” 

Sebek agreed and started planning their “intense training sessions” as they walked together. The overall good mood they had been experiencing slowly returned, and Ortho was relieved the interruption didn’t completely ruin their day. He dealt with the other hacking attempts quietly, though he was sure Yuu caught on to what he was doing after the fourth monitor they passed started playing a loop of a cat flying on a rainbow.

Operation: Trying To Get My Shit Together

It's my last week of nights, but like I said before, even though it's ass and I'm constantly in a state of existential dread, the hours are considerably better than normal day shift hours and I actually have a relative ton of free time as long as the floor isn't on fire and I'm not expecting transports. I read through all 41 volumes of Berserk in the past 3 weeks and have (almost) recovered from the emotional trauma it inflicted on me, and now I have one week left and no hyperfixations that call me too strongly. So I guess I can work on getting my life together lol.

Academic responsibilities:

M&M - draft due Tues, about half done

CREOG - test in January

ACOG - need to make AROM demos and borrow some amnihooks/FSEs, e-mail about borrowing CE demos, end of Oct

M3 surgical skills - submit simulation center form!!!!, next month

Urogyn - prepare for surgical cases next block by reading/watching videos, next week

Conferences: book hotels, flights; schedule reimbursement - this month

Research: meet about SDOH study paper; log into Athena to prep for data collection for Sedation project; touch base with JC about if AI study going anywhere

Fellowship: app in May, the biggest things are figuring out when/how to ask for LOR and drafting a personal statement. And then hoping my extracurriculars and research are enough :( also potentially an away rotation for end of March/early April - need to meet with MIGS ppl next week to discuss next steps

But the most stressful thing that's been weighing on me for MONTHS is my finances and disorganized spending. This week I REALLY REALLY REALLY want to get my budget it order. I can't even imagine how much my stress levels will improve if I don't have this crushing dread about my finances hanging over my head. This includes

Figuring out loans and how/when to pay them back

Budgeting software (I used YNAB previously)

Paying back my friend who lent me money for vet bills

Calling insurance to see why therapy costs so freaking much

My spending has been out of control!!!! It is like, the absolute worst, most damaging symptom of my ADHD that I don't have a good handle on yet, especially when I'm so dysregulated from nights. I thought I could work on it over the weekend but alllllll my limited, limited energy was spent on basic self-care (laundry, dishes, cleaning floor) and I had NOTHING left.

Anyway. Today is for starting on the budget journey and working on M&M. Maybe I'll log into YNAB and reset some things and just start over. ho hum

I'm just..... so beaten down, so tired. I have so much existential angst. Like idk that I'd want to do anything other than medicine in my life, but like..... what's the point of living ? Lol. Is this all there is? I don't have a partner, I don't have many friends near here. I don't want to not be alive but I like, need a reason to live

Prairie Edifice

I always laugh when press conferences are held amid much fanfare, announcing business plans beyond comparison. Superlatives are the rule of the day as the speakers gush the salient attributes of their plan, which, invariably, is missing one key ingredient: Money.

Details, details. I suspect in the majority of cases, these media feeding frenzies are designed simply to test the waters, and see if they can attract the investors they so desperately need to make their dream come true.

I have a big problem with anyone announcing things half-baked, though. It’s too easy to send out press releases and host media events, without having even a fraction of the money in place to actually make it happen. But man, sometimes those announcements can get a lot of traction. Publicity is great when you can get it, even if it’s bad.

Like with the recently proposed skyscraper in Oklahoma City that would tower 1907 feet above the state’s capital, a full 134 stories. Why 1907 feet? Pure symbolism in measured dose: That’s the year that Oklahoma was admitted to statehood. It would be the tallest building in the US, and the fifth-tallest in the world.

Now I am not opposed to progress and all that, and am not against building new structures that stretch the imagination. But Oklahoma City? Good grief, we might be able to see this from Amarillo on a clear day. That’s a hell of a lot of building. Looking out of place just a bit, ya know?

The plan calls for a hotel, retail, offices, and residences, and with 134 stories, there would be plenty of room for all of that. Heck, the 50-story Devon Tower, currently the tallest building in Oklahoma, didn’t exactly fill up over night.

The sad part is, I doubt this will ever happen. I have grown to be skeptical of every big announcement like this. I have seen it happen too many times. In recent years, a developer from Houston announced big plans to renovate the 1926 Herring Hotel in Amarillo, something that is long overdue on this beautiful building. It would take at least $50 million to do so, though.

And then COVID hit, and the plans quietly went into the ether. The website for the project is dead, and I have my doubts I will ever see this gem restored in my lifetime.

As for the current monstrosity, social media reactions have been less than encouraging. Ranging from the usual litany of “why don’t they fix the potholes” to “this is bullshit,” I don’t think a whole lot of folks are buying it. I like the idea in concept, but it’s a lot like the AI-generated multi-level RVs I see on the socials and other such wild imaginations. They are just figments of creative minds and software.

Sure, there are four other buildings in the world taller than this one, and they actually exist. For the life of me, I can’t figure out why, other than “because we can.” They become badges of wealth, ostentatiousness writ large.

Then there are the folks who lob the very predictable F-5 tornado into the discussion. It is no secret that central Oklahoma is in the crosshairs of Mother Nature, smack dab in the middle of Tornado Alley. But no, a building like this would not fall into a twisted wreckage. It would just result in a massive pile of broken glass, just like I saw a few years ago in downtown OKC when the Devon Tower had a similar calamity strike it.

I like OKC a lot. And since I came here for a quick getaway, I saw fit to write a blog about it. OKC is not perfect by any stretch, and, just like all big cities, has experienced a homeless problem. I hate that. It turns my stomach when I see smoke coming from underpasses along I-40, where folks have set up encampments.

But it is a good place, a city with about 700,000 people, and a metro of 1.4 million. That’s no slouch, and I have found the 3.5-hour drive from Amarillo to be all too easy when I want to experience a little bigger city culture. There are some amazing restaurants here, not to mention shopping that we will never see in Amarillo. Heck, whenever I leave Amarillo for a bigger city, like OKC, I come prepared to hit Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s. You know how it goes. What you can’t get is what you want, right?

But in terms of a skyscraper this tall, I have to wonder if the developer has other plans in mind, and is using this as mere subterfuge to get what he wants. It is pie-in-the-sky, and if I were a betting man, I would rather buy lottery tickets. This ain’t happening.

Pressure Builds on Apple CEO Tim Cook as AI Delays and Executive Exits Raise Alarms

In the fast-evolving world of technology, Apple Inc. finds itself at a crossroads, with CEO Tim Cook under increasing scrutiny from analysts and investors. As the company lags in artificial intelligence advancements and navigates a series of internal upheavals, questions are mounting about whether Cook's leadership style—rooted in operational efficiency—is suited for an era demanding bold innovation.

AI Initiatives Hit Roadblocks

Apple's ambitions in artificial intelligence have been plagued by delays, leaving the tech giant trailing competitors. The much-anticipated upgrade to Siri, its virtual assistant, has been postponed multiple times and is now slated for a March 2026 release as part of iOS 26.4. Originally planned for fall 2024, the project has been hampered by engineering issues, including a problematic hybrid architecture that reportedly failed in about a third of tests.

Craig Federighi, Apple's senior vice president of software engineering, addressed the setbacks at the company's developer conference in June, stating that the improvements require additional time to meet quality standards. This lag has allowed rivals like OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Gemini to surge ahead in conversational AI, intensifying concerns about Apple's competitive edge.

Wave of Leadership Changes

Compounding the AI challenges is a string of high-profile executive departures and transitions. Earlier this month, Apple announced that Chief Operating Officer Jeff Williams will retire later this year, with Sabih Khan stepping into the role. This follows the replacement of Chief Financial Officer Luca Maestri at the beginning of 2025.

The exodus extends to Apple's AI talent pool, where key figures have jumped ship to competitors. Ruoming Pang, who headed Apple's foundation models team of around 100 engineers, left for Meta's Superintelligence Labs with a compensation package exceeding $100 million. Meta has also recruited other Apple AI experts, including Tom Gunter and Mark Lee, further depleting the company's technical expertise.

These changes have unsettled investors, contributing to a 16% decline in Apple's stock value in 2025, while peers like Meta and Microsoft have seen double-digit gains.

Regulatory and Market Pressures Add to Woes

Apple's troubles extend beyond internal issues. The company is facing significant regulatory scrutiny, including a €500 million fine from the European Union in April for breaching digital market rules. An ongoing antitrust lawsuit in the US accuses Apple of monopolizing the smartphone market, and potential tariffs could further complicate its global operations.

Analysts argue that Cook's background as a "supply chain guy" may not align with the visionary leadership needed to tackle these multifaceted challenges. Ted Mortonson, managing director at Baird, warned that Apple could be "in a lot more trouble than some people think," emphasizing the need for a product-focused CEO over one centered on logistics. Technology research firm LightShed Partners echoed this sentiment, calling for Cook's replacement to prioritize innovation in an AI-driven landscape.

As Apple navigates this turbulent period, the coming months will be critical in determining whether it can regain its footing—or if a leadership shakeup is inevitable. Investors and industry watchers will be closely monitoring the company's next moves.

KnowBe4, a US-based security vendor, revealed that it unwittingly hired a North Korean hacker who attempted to load malware into the company's network. KnowBe4 CEO and founder Stu Sjouwerman described the incident in a blog post this week, calling it a cautionary tale that was fortunately detected before causing any major problems.

"First of all: No illegal access was gained, and no data was lost, compromised, or exfiltrated on any KnowBe4 systems," Sjouwerman wrote. “This is not a data breach notification, there was none. See it as an organizational learning moment I am sharing with you. If it can happen to us, it can happen to almost anyone. Don't let it happen to you.”

KnowBe4 said it was looking for a software engineer for its internal IT AI team. The firm hired a person who, it turns out, was from North Korea and was "using a valid but stolen US-based identity" and a photo that was "enhanced" by artificial intelligence. There is now an active FBI investigation amid suspicion that the worker is what KnowBe4's blog post called "an Insider Threat/Nation State Actor."

KnowBe4 operates in 11 countries and is headquartered in Florida. It provides security awareness training, including phishing security tests, to corporate customers. If you occasionally receive a fake phishing email from your employer, you might be working for a company that uses the KnowBe4 service to test its employees' ability to spot scams.

Person Passed Background Check and Video Interviews

KnowBe4 hired the North Korean hacker through its usual process. "We posted the job, received résumés, conducted interviews, performed background checks, verified references, and hired the person. We sent them their Mac workstation, and the moment it was received, it immediately started to load malware," the company said.

Even though the photo provided to HR was fake, the person who was interviewed for the job apparently looked enough like it to pass. KnowBe4's HR team "conducted four video conference based interviews on separate occasions, confirming the individual matched the photo provided on their application," the post said. "Additionally, a background check and all other standard pre-hiring checks were performed and came back clear due to the stolen identity being used. This was a real person using a valid but stolen US-based identity. The picture was AI 'enhanced.'"

The two images at the top of this story are a stock photo and what KnowBe4 says is the AI fake based on the stock photo. The stock photo is on the left, and the AI fake is on the right.

The employee, referred to as "XXXX" in the blog post, was hired as a principal software engineer. The new hire's suspicious activities were flagged by security software, leading KnowBe4's Security Operations Center (SOC) to investigate:

On July 15, 2024, a series of suspicious activities were detected on the user beginning at 9:55 pm EST. When these alerts came in KnowBe4's SOC team reached out to the user to inquire about the anomalous activity and possible cause. XXXX responded to SOC that he was following steps on his router guide to troubleshoot a speed issue and that it may have caused a compromise. The attacker performed various actions to manipulate session history files, transfer potentially harmful files, and execute unauthorized software. He used a Raspberry Pi to download the malware. SOC attempted to get more details from XXXX including getting him on a call. XXXX stated he was unavailable for a call and later became unresponsive. At around 10:20 pm EST SOC contained XXXX's device.

“Fake IT Worker From North Korea”

The SOC analysis indicated that the loading of malware "may have been intentional by the user," and the group "suspected he may be an Insider Threat/Nation State Actor," the blog post said.

"We shared the collected data with our friends at Mandiant, a leading global cybersecurity expert, and the FBI, to corroborate our initial findings. It turns out this was a fake IT worker from North Korea," Sjouwerman wrote.

KnowBe4 said it can't provide much detail because of the active FBI investigation. But the person hired for the job may have logged into the company computer remotely from North Korea, Sjouwerman explained:

How this works is that the fake worker asks to get their workstation sent to an address that is basically an "IT mule laptop farm." They then VPN in from where they really physically are (North Korea or over the border in China) and work the night shift so that they seem to be working in US daytime. The scam is that they are actually doing the work, getting paid well, and give a large amount to North Korea to fund their illegal programs. I don't have to tell you about the severe risk of this. It's good we have new employees in a highly restricted area when they start, and have no access to production systems. Our controls caught it, but that was sure a learning moment that I am happy to share with everyone.
