THE FIVE BULLET POINTS

the five bullet email may be more sinister than we’re considering

My job is building generative AI security, so I may have unique blinders.

Even seemingly mundane weekly accomplishments, if you aggregate and analyze at scale, can uncover sensitive patterns and info.

A gov’t-wide 5-bullet-email from employees would reveal significant intelligence:

Org structure, reporting hierarchies, team structures, interdept relationships

Project priorities

Personnel capabilities including key personnel

Operational tempo

Security vulnerabilities (like access protocols, upcoming changes, system weaknesses)

The risks of that aggregation include:

Adversaries can map org vulnerabilities or identify targets for recruitment

Targeted phishing attacks using highly specific knowledge

Blackmail potential

Predicting gov’t actions

IDing classified programs

Now take into account that the emails are going to an insecure server (like Hillary’s emails, if you can believe it /s.) All of it can be fed into insecure off-prem gen AI tools or just handed out to anyone.

Why would anyone do that? So he can replace gov’t employees with AI, “saving” money for his tax breaks and new contracts? So he can feed all the new content into Grok for training data? For the sheer joy of destroying the organizations that limit his ability to break laws and violate ethics in his pursuit of becoming the first trillionaire? ¯(ツ)/¯
