The CTO of the @internetarchive really didn't like that I - a self-identified, via two names tags, GEORGIA TECH COMPUTER SCIENCE NETWORKING & SYSARCH MAJOR ALUMNUS, was there today.
stating the many ways in which I could help them resolve their ongoing DDOS attack. I suspect he's the blackhat inside their org.

Because I care so much about the potential dangers of runaway AI - and because I was on a microdose of acid during that show - provided by Aella - though of course, it was entirely my choice, and I don't REGRET it at all (I microdose anyways for my adhd) - Bet on Love was traumatic for me!
Why? Because of the set & setting.
Whiiiiich was AGI.
Entire theatre production and everything.
I suspect this was the point - to get me over my trauma reaction - so that I could spin up to work on it - like I have been. Thank you, Aella, Aaron, Yudkowsky, and co.
? I forgive you.Will you please change the title of the Youtube video to "...featuring Aella & klob"?
Thanks!

No one could answer my questions about the bcrypt hashes.
I was *extremely* respectful, stated MANY TIMES that The Georgia Institute of Technology is literally a REGIONAL ISP, has DIRECT PEERING CONNECTIONS with Google, Apple, Facebook, Netflix, etc - and that many of our alums have a lot of pull at these companies - and that I could probably double their $16m (for 150 employees) budget within a week - if they wanted.
The CTO seemed uninterested.
He wasn't like, literally sitting at a terminal battling hackers.
This was right after the 1pm standup.
The thing that *sealed* it for me?
When I said the following phrase, the CTO IMMEDIATELY was like "NOPE WE'RE DONE KTHX": "Okay one moment let me just finish sending this message to Jack Rhysider of Darknet Diaries".
I worked @ the Georgia Tech Network Operations center for 1, maybe 2 years - hard to remember - it was awhile ago. But John Douglass - who goes by "Neon John the Glowgobear" - he's a fellow dj - was a mentor for me back in the day - taught me a lot of what I know. And I know that something here doesn't add up. The CTO barely gave me the time of day. I was wearing two name tags - one with my GTID. Another with my email: klob@gatech.edu. I introduced myself, quite respectfully, at the end of the standup, and said that yes - while I applied to work at the Internet Archive for devsecops about two weeks ago - I was primarily there to help. The CTO didn't want my help.
That's a little odd, ain’t it?
I shall repeat: The CTO did not want my - or any of my connections - help.
I asked him "What do you need to fix this?"
He didn't really answer my question at all.
One older guy wearing an OpenSSH shirt (whom I complimented, because that's a cool shirt) asked me about what professors I had; I of course said Bill Leahy. He took me seriously.
THE CTO OF THE COMPANY DID NOT. Barely gave me the time of day.
I think he's literally the blackhat in their org.
I was literally told that it was an internal issue.
Vibes were very off.
I'd bet money if I had it on this.
Time to go play DEFCON (or StarcraftII) [or DJ].
