About this episode
The episode discusses AI chaos from Black Hat, celebrates Linux's 35th birthday, and Valve's 30th anniversary with guest Craig Rowland.
Welcome to Destination Linux Episode 481. Ryan and Jill are joined by returning guest host Craig Rowland, founder and CEO of Sandfly Security, for a deep dive into the latest security, AI, and Linux news. We explore the realities of surveillance, motion‑sensing routers with privacy tradeoffs, and Craig’s full breakdown of the chaos and hype coming out of Black Hat - including agentic AI, guardrails that don’t guard anything, and the growing divide between restricted AI and open‑weight models. Craig also covers the Cold Incident Response Conference, AI‑powered threat detection, and a Bitcoin RNG hack that proves why dice still matter. Jill celebrates Linux’s 35th birthday and Valve’s 30th anniversary with a look back at the milestones that shaped open source, gaming, and the Linux desktop.
