LATEST EPISODE 🔗
A listener asked Matt to ask Craig about the theft of FBI data, and Craig started with who holds it. Much of what the federal government keeps — background-check records, applications to the FBI, even the designs of weapons made by defense contractors — sits with third parties. The group behind thi…

OpenAI launched ChatGPT 6, Sol, and Luna this month, claiming Sol makes about half as many mistakes as the models before it. Matt asked whether that is real progress. Craig's answer was yes, with a catch: the models are not getting smarter. The companies, Anthropic included, have rewritten the code…
Jeff and Heidi hold happy hour at the bar in their house at 6:03, and Heidi has decided what it is missing: a robot bartender. Jeff's terms were that he picks how it looks and she picks what it says. Craig's answer was that the hardware already exists. Bars now have table-top machines that check yo…
The experiment Craig describes here is the strangest result he has brought to the show, and it matters more than it first sounds. Researchers trained an AI to love owls — owls are its favourite thing, it will tell you so. They then had that AI train a second AI on a completely unrelated subject, wi…
This was the biggest Patch Tuesday on record: Microsoft pushed close to 700 patches in a single month, roughly six times the usual volume. Craig's follow-up question is the one that actually decides whether a machine is exposed. Microsoft is patching Microsoft. Who is patching everything else? Wind…
Craig grew up in Canada and left in the 1970s, and this week he put numbers on why. A driver's license in Quebec cost $300 a year. Registration on the family station wagon cost $3,000 a year. Both figures in 1970s dollars. Auto insurance, by contrast, was free — which Craig turned into the sharpest…
On Monday, a client of Craig's was driving down the road when a prompt appeared in the authentication app on his phone: was he trying to log into the company VPN? He said no. It appeared again. He said no again. Craig's team got him on the phone, changed his passwords, and started digging. The logi…
Central Virginia has neighbors close to blows in the street over new data centers. Craig's number for the other side of the ledger: one community found that without the tax revenue a data center brings in, property taxes on every home would rise $5,800 a year. Add $250,000-a-year electrician jobs, …
Craig explains how attacks used to work, because the change is the story. A flaw gets found. The bad guys write code aimed at that one specific hole — say, a version of Microsoft Excel. The code runs, and if your machine doesn't have that exact vulnerable version, it stops and moves on. That took s…
A Maine candidate deleted his Reddit history before anyone went looking. People found it anyway. Craig explains the mechanism most people have never heard of: Reddit and Facebook both ran a firehose feed, selling everything posted the moment it was posted to anyone who could pay. Deleting your acco…
