Unsupervised Learning is about ideas and trends in Cybersecurity, National Security, AI, Technology, and Culture—and how best to upgrade ourselves to be ready for what's coming.

Unsupervised Learning

I think the future is cheaper and Open Source SOTA models combined with context, not custom, narrow models.

AI Quality Inversion

There are a bunch of different transitions happening right now—all at the same time, all (I think) heading in the same direction. Here is a long-form exploration of the various pieces.

Humans Need Entropy

Karpathy is confusing LLM limitations with AI system limitations, and that makes all the difference.

Why I Think Karpathy is Wrong on the AGI Timeline

How going from exploration to exploitation can help you as both a consumer and creator of everything.

Magnifying Time

➡ Stay Ahead of Cyber Threats with AI-Driven Vulnerability Management with Maze:
https://mazehq.com/
 
In this conversation, I speak with Harry about how AI is transforming vulnerability management and application security. We explore how modern approaches can move beyond endless reports and generic fixes, toward real context-aware workflows that actually empower developers and security teams.
 
We talk about:
 
The Real Problem in Vulnerability Management
Why remediation—not just prioritization—remains the toughest challenge, and how AI can help bridge the gap between vulnerabilities and the developers who need to fix them.
 
Context, Ownership, and Velocity
How linking vulnerabilities to the right applications and teams inside their daily tools (like GitHub) reduces friction, speeds up patching, and improves security without slowing developers down.
 
AI Agents and the Future of Security
Why we should think of AI agents as “extra eyes and hands,” and how they’re reshaping everything from threat detection to system design, phishing campaigns, and organizational defense models.
 
Attackers Move First
How attackers are already building unified world models of their targets using AI, and why defenders need to match (or exceed) this intelligence to stay ahead.
 
From Days to Minutes
Why the tolerance for vulnerability windows is shrinking fast, and how automation and AI are pushing us toward a future where hours—or even minutes—make the difference.
