19:08 So to make your point you crap on FEMA workers and your fellow Soldiers and National Guard in North Carolina who are working 24/7 to save people. You're gonna pull those MAGA lies out of your ass I got no need for you. those lies cost lives and you should know better.
Here we go ranting and generalizing about all "Career Officers". I am sorry for your experiences or lack of interaction with worthy Career Officers who went on to build and lead great companies.
Great reporting Paul. I know you didn't exactly crack this story yourself, but I appreciate that you and other YT people find and highlight these stories that common folk and normal news doesn't cover.
As a 30 year military retirere you hit the nail on the head, when the military develops an operation system that works and the folks working in the system suggest changes/possible improvements in the method of operation of the unit or the maintenance of equipment they are often greated with "we have always done it that way" when suggesting a change to SOP.
Paul at 17:25: "You get to be a general by burying your failures and touting your successes." Brilliant. This also applies to every business and scam; Enron, Bernie Madoff, etc.
This needs to change. For the sake of the U.S military and global security, this conduct should be punished when it’s first detected by higher authorities to set an example for better behavior from officers and high-and-might bureaucrats. Otherwise we’re honestly screwed
First we get some military influencers, then investors, then assemble top level management, and we're 99% done! We will scrape together some workers and a real product concept later.
Yes. Reading the article, I'm reminded of the cultural trend about "manifesting" dates, a life, companies, "everyone can be an entrepreneur," and other childish fantasies. They have no product, just ideas and the belief that thinking success leads to success. I worked at a company that was taken over by big talkers and "names in the news" who claimed the company didn't need products, just their vision. Bankrupt four years later. A real shame, many lives ruined.
@@yyeezyy630 kinda. But as an american i'm also aware that some really good shoulder launch rocket systems and training was given to e.g. the Mujahadeen to help them get RU out of Afghanistan. Later those guys became the enemy of the free world. Not good, lol! So, goat farmers WITH help from capable or wealthy folks in places like the west/america, or gulf arab states or persians or red bloc
Bush's top cyber security guy, privy to god knows how much ultra-classified intel, went to work for the CCP. Not even on the damn sly; but blatantly. To quote Sean Connery from that Japanese movie with Wesley Snipes, "The Asians believe American officials are corrupt, and everything is for sale. And they're not often wrong."
McNamara was right about something's. Standardisation especially and unified for example f-111 over two designs that shared 10% parts. Naming conventions being completely different between branches etc. He was deeply flawed but he wasn't quite as wrong as people make out.
They weren't offering anything unique. There are a lot of players in that market, all in place before them. I am no real security expert, but I have evaluated and deployed (and retired) several such "deep" network enabled security systems, notably Palo Alto Networks ATP. I was just at the RSA conference in San Francisco this May. You will trip over a dozen such vendors at RSA.
The normal thing to do for a high ranking military official is to shill for private contractors while on-duty in return for a no-show job after their military career has ended. This man was too inept for the path chosen by the ordinary corrupt official, so chose the path less followed.
My dad served in the Canadian signal Corp in the early 70's.. it was pretty much the first generation that they started to teach computers to, he was stationed in Alert in the arctic, they were pretty much the frontlines of the cold war, it became a useful skill, that knowledge helped raise a family, because once the 80's hit, computer jobs were everywhere
So, goat farmers are the greatest threat to world peace and the US Military? I could have told you that. My mom had a goat dairy, and she was terrifying. 😂❤
It reminds me how when I was in the Navy officers believed so deeply in the infallibility of their rank. That they could bend the laws of reality to finish projects on time, under manned, and with no parts. Remember the ucmj says 1 hour sleep is all you need.
Contrast him with the command struct from 1st Armor division, they worked to shake-up conventional actions. Innovation is great, except in military, where , your boss doesn't want you to dismiss his "achievement", things go bad for you who violates his baby
To stop hackers, you need to work with hackers. Even if this technoglogy could detect weaknesses in various systems, you still need to create a way to stop the attacks.
I love that bit about the day-by-day manual to train a tank battalion. I can just picture a scene.... "They didn't know their heads from their arse until I showed up and pulled it around for them. I can do anything with my Super Highly Intensive Technology training from the military."
The reasoning in this video is why I do not vote for veterans in public office. There is a campaign sign in VA that is literally trying to portray combat experiences as a advantage for public service.
It's all extremely shady. I was just reading about Hakluyt & Company Limited and Iain Lobban who after a well paid early retirement, forms or works for a private company to use his contacts from internal and external governments. We never know who the clients are for these companies, but to my mind it's a conflict of interest. No wonder iain Lobban has a beaming smiile like a Cheshire cat.
Fraud and bankruptcy? That's one way to lose your security clearance. If Vekselsberg has operated in South Africa, the US government should start vetting South African businessmen more carefully.
Shocking to think that on the other hand we have this massive high-tech drone warfare and on the other hand we have gost farmers with zero technical skills or military production winning a war a year earlier.
😂😂😂 Perfect encapsulation of the permanent officer corps in the military. ‘Never having build anything themselves’ and being handed a perfectly functional machine with the mandate to not break it…….really drives innovative thinking in my experience
Okay, so if I were in charge of this start up, my first course of action is acquiring Apple employees and the second is recruiting young hackers, then I make them fight each other with computers and coding. Spy v Spy style.
Theranos also had military brass and top government officials on its board of directors. I believe one was a four star general, others ran large portions of the government.
That's pretty spot on. Many SES and generals who are in charge of IT resources inside the military are largely not even from the communications, signals, and computer areas of the military. The few with a background in the field were promoted up through the ranks based on politics more than knowledge and competency. For the most part, action officer-level individuals (military and civilian) made or broke projects. After sequestration, the best left the DoD for the civilian sector, not wanting anything to do with the DoD if they could help it. Make no mistake, the DoD, prior to 2015, had some fantastic action-level personnel in the cyber arena.
For anyone who is curious about what a military version of a front runner looks like, the key example is McNamara. The military doesn't like people like him.
Paul at 17:25: "You get to be a general by burying your failures and touting your successes." Brilliant. This also applies to every business. Enron, Bernie Madoff, etc. However, your comment about "The FEMA problems in North Carolina" (19:15) is very troubling. That is all right wing propaganda. These mistakes are not good.
Aah, the magic of advanced technology! "I'm going to use Advanced Technology!" "Here's your 3 billion." Cool. Okay, my turn. I'm going to use Advanced Technology to enable ordinary people to keep fescue, rye, and even Bermuda plants at a uniform height. My Advanced Technology will grow exponentially to limit the exponential growth of plants!
Bet they came up with the concept after watching Minority Report a few times and comparing the capabilities of the Pre-crime unit with what they thought IronNet could offer :P
This is what happens when people in charge, who don’t know anything at all to any great depth what they’re talking about, ask a ‘why don’t we just’ type question. They think they know what they’re talking about, but they don’t even know enough to actually tell whether their sources of information are correct, complete, or telling the truth. They often don’t even know enough to assess whether their source of information and people he works with are incompetent or even the correct people to go to at all. They wouldn’t know what questions to ask, who to ask, who would know who to ask, or how to learn what they need to know. Yet they are extremely confident they know what they’re doing and will base whole, complex views of the world based on something they were told one time by one person. Anyways, varying levels of this kind of incompetence create wide ranges of effects, like approving the wrong plans for an engineering project, or needlessly delaying projects at great expense without any good reason. You also get a rich a billionaire and a senator who blindly trust and believe a scientist who, at best, blindly distorts what he sees and believes instead of doing any good science. You also get an idiot that believes a few stories he heard, but now won’t shut up about it to the point that his managers and supervisors retaliated against him through his employment. Edit: It’s also how you get a general or colonel or admiral on TV news claiming with one hundred percent certainty that an airplane contrail is undeniably an unannounced submarine ballistic missile launch, or a missile launch at the very least. It’s also how you get FLIR pod mechanics and engineers who continually refute claims that there’s nothing special about the footage created. Every single time they come up with reasons to support their claim simple science and physics crowdsourced online always prove them wrong. They talk a lot and never prove anything.
What I presume was the notion of training an AI to recognize an attack isn't a bad idea; trying to immediately monetize it was. What prob should have been done was to collect all the known attack warez that they could, hire just a few people, and train with maybe 75% of that. Then see if it could detect any of the remaining 25%.
It takes one to know one your were in the US military, and your pointing out US military faults it make sense, and I know your right having lived on many on US army bases for many years!
NSA is pretty much a side topic, but it highlights the expected failure of his startup. The NSA spied and kept records of all the non-threats (illegally) and his “vision” was to track the internal communications of a client, as though that was a cyberthreat. Not only was he able to hide his illegal failures, he thought they were the way forward for a company.
This was a front. A front for what, I don't know exactly, but it was definitely a front. It was obviously funded by dirty money, had a fake product, and never made a real product. The overvaluation and massive contracts was looking like a pump and dump was just the gravy on top.
This terrifies me, because if the system can not only fail to hold a person such as Alexander accountable for the screw-ups he made, but actually promotes him to higher rank and responsibilities, then I fear for our military's ability to defend our country from serious threats. And it scares me more to think how many more generals like him who are politicians and administrative paper-pushers or DEI hires who are in the top leadership of our military. We need real soldiers with leadership who can get the job done in a life-and-death struggle situation.
Wow this Alexander is a real POS. I hope some higher ups in US politics hear your perspective and do something about the bad leadership. Although, they're politicians... Damn it's like asking 2-dimensional people to see things in 3D. Systemic leadership issues are hard. And what makes it even more painful is when you thing of the available talent that could fix things, but never get the chance because they don't play dirty enough to get high up.
Keith Alexander is a prime example of what happens to all militaries over a long peace lull. I know, you were off hiking in the sand pit. Where would Alexander's career path have put him 20 odd years ago? He was a peace time cookie pusher. And for all of Alexander existing, we have gotten quite a few men of great heart and statue. Miley comes immediately to mind, but there are others- like the Vindman Brothers. Those are people I respect because they earned it. Unlike the late Colin Powell, they mostly didn't have a Viet Nam to boost their careers, yet they were a great deal of what We the People hope answer the phone when the p**p is deep and getting deeper. This cycle has repeated many times, in our forces and in most others. Alexander avoided a direct combat posting largely because he was an intelligence officer- he wasn't in the field, he got reports in an office and analyzed them. And somebody must have liked the product, because his fitness ratings didn't fall below the promotion threshold. Did he have a sponsor in upper ranks- the odds I have heard would be four in five that he did as a yardstick of the process.
Obviously the military needs the ability to build new things; these skills it doesn't have. The military should have a seperate "development command", bringing together soldiers and civilian expertise ro build doctrines, equipment, and everything else a military needs. They could being in soldiers from other militaries; i.e. Ukrainian officers with recent military experience. The equipment, doctrines, and training are interdependent; so they should be co-developed.
You don’t seem to understand that bankruptcy is a tool that people as a form of fraud. The corporation declared bankruptcy. now all debt/loans are forgiven. I’m sure there’s no off shore accounts anywhere. Solyndra anyone?
Covering stories like this is a good example of you being a more general military channel and not a shill for Northrop-Grumman or suggest that Ukraine is 100% infallible.
