In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.
Today I was laid off my org, and while I knew this was going to happen all along with rise of new technologies that can be disruptive in our industry. I hope for the best and to those who may be hit by this change in their futures.

Come on down to hear me yap about how AI is influencing and advancing modern cybercrime.
The future of cybercrime is AI. But so is the future of defense. Don’t miss our ThreatTalk on Aug 29. Get smart on how to fight back with @HackingDave, @_Dwyer_, and @Dragonkin37.

Lots of misinformation in this one, not surprised with the statements by POTUS but I am very disappointed we are in the process losing our closest allies.
Highlighted items are indisputable Trump lies.
1. The United States has not spent $200 billion dollars more than Europe. The US hasn't even spent $200 billion dollars total. They have allocated $183 Billion per the U.S. Special Inspector General to the U.S. Congress. Per the Kiel Institute the US $114 billion went directly to Ukraine, the rest was kept to facilitate Ukraine assistance. Europe has spent about $125 Billion.
2. Europe's money is not "guaranteed", it was aid.
3. Zelensky did not say this. The aid provided to Ukraine is the most well tracked aid ever given to another country, in the history of ever.
4. His polling is around 57% in Ukraine according to the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology. Which is higher than Trump's current 538 aggregate poll where he sits at 46%.
5. Zelensky has universally been hailed as a generational leader, currently leading in a wartime environment. No country would hold an election while fending off an invader. The only elections that were held by occupied countries during WW2 were sham elections conducted by occupying nations such as the Soviet Union forcing the Baltics and Eastern Europe to hold elections to legitimize their ill gotten gains.

This year we're starting off strong.
First and foremost, we've got some new sponsors. Our friends over at @Binary_Defense and @TrustedSec have helped us out tremendously lately. We'd especially like to thank @HackingDave for helping the little nerds out and keeping malware cool and badass (and free) forever and ever. We'll be listing them on the website later.
Next up: we're working with our friends at @TorGuard to expand our infrastructure. They have a lot (and quite honestly, a disturbing) amount of computational resources. We will be working with them for 2 things.
1. Wide spread cat picture aggregation.
2. Wide spread malware ingestion
Next, next, on the other side of the autism spectrum: our in-house software engineer @guessthepw is working on constructing a kitty cat photo database. All cats ingested will be available to browse, download, whatever.
People have asked: "smelly smellington, what's your end game with these cats?". The answer is very shrimple: no idea, thought of it while using the restroom.
Let's see where this whacky adventure takes us. Maybe in a few years it'll be bigger than vx-underground and we can use it to fuel our malware addiction. Or, alternatively, nothing will happen and the project will be dead in a year. Let's see what happens! Sometimes in life you gotta do just a thing, see if it fails, or succeeds, or what happens.
We've got lots of work to do in 2025.
Finally, as is tradition, we've got more malware to add, more malware papers to add, lots and lots of stuff. Very cool.
Thanks,
- smelly smellington
