Author here. Mythos, Cyber and improvements in other models are leading us into wild times like we've never seen before, with multiple factors converging into a perfect storm. This talks about the various risks converging and how to navigate them, including returns to old-school techniques to ensure disaster recovery is possible with AI-enabled attackers. Love to hear your thoughts on it.

Show HN: Testzilla (BG S24) – Simplified Automated Testing for Voice AI Calls

https://run.testzilla.ai/

Hi, I'm Brian Gallagher, the creator of Testzilla.ai, and I created the automated testing tool I wanted to use, and hopefully you'll find it useful too.I love Voice AI systems because I hate phone calls. Ironic, huh?When designing Voice AI solutions, I quickly tired of the cycle of "Update system, test call flows, repeat" that went with it. The whole point of Voice AI for me was so that I could...

The problem this DOESN'T solve is that if the resource is not availale over SSL, then this won't work at all and will show broken links.

I've got a project that addresses this by converting any URL to SSL:

  http://www.fixweb.co/  
Just take whatever URL you want to access, like

  http://example.com/test.gif
add the FixWeb.co address in front of it like this:

  https://fixweb.co/example.com/test.gif
  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
and it will return the file over SSL.

It's not designed for high security file delivery, obviously, but it will get you around a normal Mixed-Content warning.

Same thing.
