defcon/blackhat are a joke now.
completely industry run and Jeremy is 100% right. It's gross what it's turned into. At the same time, Jeremy is a fucking goof, but on this matter he's correct.
hacker culture has moved on from these conferences. The people who go there now are are just cybersecurity careerists looking to get 'training' and CPE credits for their lame certifications and feel like they are part of something cool - which they aren't. And the speakers, while often sharing interesting research, simply do so to further their careers and gain clout and build their linkedin resume so they can go to their next cushy job where they make 250K a year solving cybersecurity problems for big banks and the military.
We're so far removed from 'hacker culture' at this point its comical. We have a whole generation of cybersecurity 'experts' who know nothing about the origins of hacking, its counterculture movement, its opposition to authority, capitalism. It's just a nice job nowadays and most people in this field dont give a shit about any social problems they are here for fat paycheques.
