i grew up on hacker news, niche technology forums and the parts of the internet where a good argument from a stranger with no name outranked a bad one from someone important. the work spoke and nobody cared who was behind it.

i do security and ai research, make machines hack other machines and think about technology, free markets, technocracy, institutions, individual liberty, sexuality and the nerds who keep all of this running. i am for open systems, free inquiry, cheap energy and letting competent people build without asking permission.

i’m autistic and it’s the qualification. a search box errors differently when you add a quote. most people never notice. minutes later it is sqli, then rce.

my actual portfolio lives at ni5arga.com. this is not that. thoughts, corrections or arguments about any of it: hello[at]ni5arga.com. constructive criticism is always welcome.


notes

notes aren’t dated. they aren’t necessarily finished either.

  1. the api does not care about your phd⁠

  2. cybersecurity and petplay⁠

  3. making machines hack machines⁠

  4. you have to care when nobody is paying⁠

  5. intelligence is getting cheap. curiosity isn’t.⁠

  6. i don’t want an ai that agrees with me⁠
