Had a fireside chat this week on AI in physical security. Some argued AI will replace operators and analysts. I disagree—AI should augment them, helping teams focus on real threats and investigations instead of chasing nuisance alarms.

I’ve attended all (but one) Blizzcon since 2008, and am excited to hopefully score tickets for 2026! Every year I’ve gone, it’s been a blast to see the games I played as a kid evolve in new and interesting ways, and enjoyed by new folks just introduced to them!

Let’s be honest, every employer would have fired Hegseth for a similar accident, and would have fired the team that allowed & executed on the decision to use Signal for classified exchanges rather than on infrastructure they owned. This team is incompetent, and can’t be trusted with data security.

Sen. Adam Schiff@schiff.senate.gov

How many Signal chats with sensitive information about military operations are ongoing within the Pentagon right now? Where else are war plans being shared with such abject disregard for our national security? We need answers. Right now.

Great time in Miami! My manager and I discussed how hybridized physical security—cloud+on-prem—shapes the future of enterprise. It offers scalability for agile workspaces, secures internal systems with encrypted routing, and enables unified monitoring while balancing cost & infrastructure. #security

I picked up Play Nice: The Rise, Fall, and Future of Blizzard Entertainment last Friday, and finished it today. I highly recommend this book for those that have been fans of Blizzard games, or grew up playing their games and going to BlizzCon events; it was very enlightening

I also recommend this book to anyone that’s interested to see how a company’s vision that shifts from making the best and most beautiful product for their user to instead prioritize profits can erode the trust of their users and their employees, and the difficulties that creates.

Our economy relies on people spending money on goods and services. As mass layoffs of the federal workforce continues and federal contracts with private firms are cancelled, the velocity of money will begin to slow. As orgs tighten their budget in the face of uncertainty, so will people.

There is no reason for DOGE to be accessing taxpayer information on all private citizens and businesses in the US.

Jacob Bogage@jacobbogage.bsky.social

🚨 SCOOP: DOGE is seeking personal taxpayer data at IRS, sources tell me. 🚨 Trump admin is pushing IRS to agree to an MOU that would give DOGE access to granular data on every taxpayer, business and nonprofit in the country.

Hey @schiff.senate.gov @padilla.senate.gov I hope you guys stand up for Californians on this gross overreach of executive power to sidestep & bypass checks and balances. Elon and his meddling into our agencies and its PII sets a terrible precedent for our nation while weakening our national security

Our healthcare system can be improved. Instead of using AI to deny claims and find loopholes in coverage, or to reduce staff headcount via automation, AI should instead be leveraged (and embraced!) for early detection, preventative care, and healthier outcomes for patients.

You are up to date.
