Show HN: Decoding the Language Machine – AI video series and CC repo

Hacker News - Tue, 05/26/2026 - 8:56am

Hi HN! I released 3 parts of an educational video series (out of 6 planned), paired with a GitHub repository containing scripts and artifacts (released under Creative Commons).

- Main Site: https://skepticcto.com/ (includes related AI news articles)

- Code/Artifacts: https://github.com/SkepticCTO/decoding_the_language_machine

- YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@SkepticCTO

I’m a 21-year CTO, Ph.D. in CS (U Penn, 1999 in computer vision and ML), and a PI in the NIST AI Safety Initiative Consortium. I spent a 4-month sabbatical making this because I wanted to demystify how LLMs work through a historical perspective (starting in 1948 with Claude Shannon) and scientific skepticism.

The project is old enough to be fleshed out, but young enough to be able to pivot. Is it useful? What would you like to see? I look forward to questions and feedback.

CISA Adds One Known Exploited Vulnerability to Catalog

US-Cert Current Activity - Tue, 05/26/2026 - 8:00am

CISA has added one new vulnerability to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) Catalog, based on evidence of active exploitation. 

  • CVE-2026-48172 LiteSpeed cPanel Plugin Privilege Escalation Vulnerability

This type of vulnerability is a frequent attack vector for malicious cyber actors and poses significant risks to the federal enterprise.

Binding Operational Directive (BOD) 22-01: Reducing the Significant Risk of Known Exploited Vulnerabilities established the KEV Catalog as a living list of known Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) that carry significant risk to the federal enterprise. BOD 22-01 requires Federal Civilian Executive Branch (FCEB) agencies to remediate identified vulnerabilities by the due date to protect FCEB networks against active threats. See the BOD 22-01 Fact Sheet for more information.

Although BOD 22-01 only applies to FCEB agencies, CISA strongly urges all organizations to reduce their exposure to cyberattacks by prioritizing timely remediation of KEV Catalog vulnerabilities as part of their vulnerability management practice. CISA will continue to add vulnerabilities to the catalog that meet the specified criteria.
