Who has the better Vulture Mode — Whisper or Dexy?
Who has the better Vulture Mode — Whisper or Dexy?
Just to clarify: I don't think #AI use is inherently bad for science.
#LLM‘s can help you reword, make text flow better, be more precise and write better, because – unfortunately – training data also includes lots of good scientific texts.
ASR systems like #whisper allow you to spend less time on word by word #transcription and more on what's between the lines.
But use for citing literature? Writing whole sections or papers? Review? Coding in qualitative research?!
That's an issue
#ESETresearch analyzed a campaign deployed by BladedFeline, an Iran-aligned threat actor with likely ties to #OilRig. We discovered the campaign, which targeted Kurdish and Iraqi government officials, in 2024. https://www.welivesecurity.com/en/eset-research/bladedfeline-whispering-dark/
BladedFeline, a cyberespionage group active since at least 2017, develops malware for strategic access within the Kurdistan Regional Government and the government of Iraq. We discovered BladedFeline in 2023 after it targeted Kurdish officials with the #Shahmaran backdoor.
The systems compromised in the latest campaign contained the #Whisper backdoor, a malicious IIS module #PrimeCache, two reverse tunnels, and several supplementary tools. Whisper uses #MicrosoftExchange server to communicate with the attackers via email attachments.
We believe with medium confidence that BladedFeline is a subgroup of OilRig, an -based APT group also known as APT34 or Hazel Sandstorm.
First, there were OilRig tools present in the systems compromised in this campaign. BladedFeline’s PrimeCache also shares code similarities with OilRig’s #RDAT backdoor. Moreover, as does OilRig, BladedFeline targets organizations in the Middle East.
IoCs will be available in our GitHub repo: https://github.com/eset/malware-ioc/tree/master/
@alsutton Everytime I go down that rabbit hole, I take a step back and add some context about the #MagicSkyDaddies, #ZombieJews, and other #ImaginaryFriends BILLIONS of people #Whisper their #SelfishWhispers to to bend the laws of #Physics, #Chemistry, #Biology, and #Probability to grant their #SelfishDesires and #beLIEve and will pay 10% of their earnings to. Here is some context:
Destructive, yes, but cute enough to get away with it.

New on the blog today, I put aside my general AI cynicism and built a 100% on-device workflow to summarise meetings.

My crack security team made sure the HVAC guy didn’t try anything funny today.
like gaming content, but don't like gamers yelling at you?
you've come to the right place.
Cyberpunk 2077 play through, but whispered
- knives + mantis blades only
- hard mode included
Whisper can turn her charm up to eleven.
(This is only at three.)
We #Whisper our #SelfishWhispers to our #ImaginaryFriends to bend the laws of #Physics #Chemistry #Biology and #Probability to grant our #SelfishDesires. In #ZombieJew's name we #Whisper. #Amen

sexual metaphor
Last night, I gave Whisper a scritch and the fluff dent gave her a bit of a reverse mohawk.
Or perhaps a hint of Gossamer, the hairy monster that chases Bugs Bunny.

Is there any open source app (e.g. via #FDroid for speech transcription on Android? I would like to share audio with this app which then does the transcription offline on my device.
Anything with #Whisper or #CommonVoice models would be great.
