ChatGPT Summary: The article “Preliminary Notes on the Delvish Dialect” by Bruce Sterling explores the emergence of a new dialect called “Delvish,” which is produced by Large Language Models (LLMs). Delvish is a complex, high-tech form of communication with a human-like appearance but is inherently different, stemming from statistical relationships between tokens rather than actual words written by people. The article details the challenges and ethical concerns this AI-generated language presents, including issues of authenticity, misuse, and the potential for widespread, undetectable machine-generated content.

Omnivore Description: A bastion host, sometimes called “jump box”, is a server which provides a single point access from an external network to the resources located in a private network. A server exposed to the external public network (ex. Internet) poses a potential security risk of an unauthorized access. Special attention needs to be put on securing and controlling access to such server.
ChatGPT Summary: The article explains how to securely access an Amazon EC2 bastion host using AWS Systems Manager Session Manager in combination with Amazon EC2 Instance Connect. By employing this method, the bastion host can operate without open inbound ports, reducing its attack surface and eliminating the need for storing long-term SSH keys. Instead, users generate fresh SSH keys for each session, with access tightly controlled via AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) policies.
