Utterly inert? Suppose that reads safe...

levelZero··on I stopped drinking the AI Kool-Aid
Pretty sure you only get to drink the Kool-Aid once. At least in UK this is Jim Jones ref.
levelZero··on Gemini 3.8 Flash and 3.8 Flash Cyber
Gemini 3.8 flash thinks Entoloma sinuatum is good to eat... Otherwise feels great

Gemini 3.8 flash told me to eat Entoloma sinuatum!

You may not be aware of the most important emergent property of this comment: it made me piss myself laughing. Strong work, architect of intent.

don't just dabble, dive in! domain-expert, buck-stopping, orchestrating architects of intent under constraints are going to be the only survivors ;-)

My bad. If you are interested, it was "Gemini's lead matters..." which tingled.

Claude prose praising Gemini ;-)
levelZero··on Real 2025 PostgreSQL cryptojacking incident and AI-assisted recovery
A dev laptop running Ubuntu 24.04 got hit by a classic PostgreSQL cryptojacking attack while on public Wi-Fi (port 5432 exposed, UFW temporarily off). Detection started with fan noise → btop tree view revealed 70-99% CPU under the postgres user. The recovery was fully scripted, transparent, and driven by a local coding agent (Codex-Max-5.2) turned into a paranoid remediation specialist via a custom AGENTS.md directive. Highlights:

Generated dozens of timestamped audit/cleanup scripts Captured rogue sshd binary → 24/64 detections on VT as Linux trojan/rootkit hider Ended with UFW timed rules, auditd watches, LAN-only services

Full play-by-play, verbatim scripts, and takeaways — no hype, just level zero truth.

Would love feedback from anyone who's dealt with Postgres miners or AI-assisted IR.
