#529: Computer Science from Scratch 1:17:00

2d ago1:17:00

1:17:00

A lot of people building software today never took the traditional CS path. They arrived through curiosity, a job that needed automating, or a late-night itch to make something work. This week, David Kopec joins me to talk about rebuilding computer science for exactly those folks, the ones who learned to program first and are now ready to understan…

#521: Red Teaming LLMs and GenAI with PyRIT 1:02:40

2M ago1:02:40

1:02:40

English is now an API. Our apps read untrusted text; they follow instructions hidden in plain sight, and sometimes they turn that text into action. If you connect a model to tools or let it read documents from the wild, you have created a brand new attack surface. In this episode, we will make that concrete. We will talk about the attacks teams are…
