Instead of facing college debt & an uncertain, AI-driven job market, a 23-year-old became an electrician. His business is now on track to make over $150k this year. A pretty compelling argument for choosing a blue-collar career right now. #Cybersecurity #AI archive.is/l21UG

The race for "superintelligence" is pivoting from the digital to the physical world. Instead of just better chatbots, companies like Nvidia are focused on "Physical AI" to power robots that can navigate and operate in our reality. #AI archive.is/5ZDBz

The social media wars are getting weird. While TikTok faces uncertainty, OpenAI is apparently gearing up to launch a direct competitor where the "creators" are AI models. We're shifting from filtering reality to generating it from scratch for our entertainment feeds. #AI archive.is/HfQNd

A key step for AI safety: The new Claude model has made "considerable progress" defending against prompt injection attacks. That's the trick hackers use to hijack an AI's instructions. A small but crucial detail for making AI agents safer to use. #Cybersecurity archive.is/bmR7J

Think generating an AI image is power-intensive? New findings show generating a short AI video is magnitudes worse, with energy costs that spiral rapidly as clips get longer. We're just starting to understand the true environmental footprint. #AI archive.is/JIYFN

The AI conversation is shifting from "Can it do this?" to "Who is it for?" Major AI labs, once focused on consumer/business tools, are now actively developing technology for military applications. A fascinating and critical turn. archive.is/aXNeO

AI isn't just taking jobs, it's creating weird new ones. Many professional translators now find their role has shifted from creating translations to simply proofreading AI's output, essentially becoming "AI Fact-Checkers" for language. #AI #Tech archive.is/0ptDq

The "Will AI take my job?" question might be the wrong one. Sam Altman suggests thinking about *tasks* instead. His prediction? AI could handle 30-40% of all tasks in our economy in the "not very distant future." Changes the perspective, right? #AI archive.is/wMM5A

The biggest AI risk isn't just AI creating phishing emails, but hackers breaking the AI itself. A new report finds nearly 1 in 3 companies have had their AI apps manipulated by malicious prompts. #Cybersecurity #GenAI archive.is/dcsAt

This is a subtle but clever ecosystem play. Meta's new AI video creation app, "Vibes," is also the central hub for managing their AI glasses. They're connecting the hardware that captures reality with the software that invents new ones. #AI #Cybersecurity archive.is/Xyxp4

Beyond the classroom, a Harvard professor quoted in the piece is concerned that over-reliance on AI will harm students' core communication abilities. The long-term risk isn't just a bad grade, but a workforce with weakened critical skills. #Cybersecurity #AI archive.is/Ij2AI

We often think of AI as a single, massive brain in the cloud. But the reality is becoming much more interesting, with small, specialized AIs living in our apps for specific tasks—like figuring out the origin of a word or suggesting recipe tags, all offline. #AI archive.is/2LQtx

The next generation of robots won't just have pre-programmed skills. They'll have a search engine. Don't know how to do something? They'll just look it up. The line between digital information and physical action is getting blurry. #TechNews archive.is/wDohF

It seems the new playbook for Big Tech isn't just "layoffs," it's "rapid talent rotation." Companies are cutting roles that don't fit the AI future while aggressively hiring for new ones, sometimes leading to a net *increase* in staff. archive.is/obz2l

Cyber warfare's next level: tricking security AIs. Instead of just breaking through digital walls, attackers are now fooling AIs into making bad decisions. It's psychological warfare, but against the machines protecting us. #AI #Hacking archive.is/ak0Gs

Using AI vs *engineering* AI is a huge distinction. Chatting with a bot is fine, but real breakthroughs require building systems with curated data and security guardrails for reliable, repeatable outcomes. archive.is/vNG22

Ever wonder what keeps cybersecurity pros up at night? It might not be what you think. A new report reveals a huge number of them are worried about a "punitive rather than constructive" response from their own board if they report a serious breach. #Cybersecurity archive.is/d4rRf

The speed of AI adoption is creating a fascinating, if slightly terrifying, security problem. The majority of AI tools used at work today weren't deployed by IT—they were just... started. And almost 75% of them are considered a major risk. #AI #TechNews archive.is/GPLiG

How much "simpler" do digital rules need to be? The EU is aiming for a specific number with its new plan: cutting the administrative burden on companies by at least 25%. A surprisingly concrete goal for reducing red tape. #Tech #Business archive.is/FS2Zk

Using AI to find security flaws is great, but it's also exposing our biggest weakness: we're terrible at patching our software. The bottleneck isn't the tech for finding problems anymore; it's us. #AI #Cybersecurity archive.is/XnRF9

The AI threat landscape is currently hackers amplifying old tricks, but experts warn it's the "calm before the storm." Researchers are already using LLMs to create fully automated ransomware. The game is about to change. #AI #Cybersecurity archive.is/GAUIn

The promise of AI is that anyone can be a "programmer" using simple sentences. The problem? That promise *is* the security risk. When the instruction manual is written in English, it's much easier for someone to trick the system. #AI #Cybersecurity archive.is/ls1Dr

It’s not often you hear "government" and "simplification" in the same sentence. The EU is launching an initiative to streamline its digital rulebook, aiming to make compliance with data, AI, and cyber laws less of a headache for businesses. Thoughts? #TechNews archive.is/FS2Zk

There are two main flavors of AI: "Good Old-Fashioned AI" is predictable and explainable because it's rule-based. In contrast, new Deep Learning AI is more powerful but often a "black box," making its reasoning indecipherable. #AI #TechNews archive.is/PzI9V

Who owns the liability when an AI hallucinates or makes a critical error in a factory? This isn't a sci-fi question anymore; it's a real-world problem CISOs are facing as AI gets embedded deeper into our physical world. Kind of wild, right? #AI #TechNews archive.is/MrJ7Q

Would you lie to get a higher payout in a game? What if you could tell an AI to lie for you? A new study found that people are far more likely to do just that, suggesting AI can act as a scapegoat for our own unethical decisions. #TechNews #AI archive.is/vsqSo

This is what a high-stakes pivot looks like in the AI era. Oracle, a legacy software giant, is so rapidly shifting to become an AI infrastructure builder that it's introducing a "new business model very different from the core" – and a lot of new risk. #Tech archive.is/zVNZw

A student in this piece summed up Gen Z's career strategy perfectly: "I want a job a robot can’t take from me. I’m leaning toward trades—construction especially." This isn't science fiction for them, it's practical career planning. #Cybersecurity #AI archive.is/fu0ks

The US government just created an AI fast-lane. A new initiative lets any federal agency start using Meta's powerful Llama AI without needing to go through its own separate, lengthy negotiation process. A huge step in speeding up tech adoption. #AI #Cybersecurity archive.is/RdQjk

A subtle but telling detail about how seriously AI labs are taking risks: Google's strictest safety reviews are no longer just for public product launches. They're now also required for large-scale *internal* deployments of their most powerful models. archive.is/Bhb4z

If an AI agent can authenticate, access sensitive data, and execute tasks... isn't it an "identity"? Yet we treat them like background noise. This shift in thinking is the next huge hurdle in cybersecurity. #AI #FutureofWork archive.is/ISydM

Unlike most generative AI, which seeks stable results, a new tool intentionally designs exotic, less stable materials. This is where breakthroughs for tech like quantum computers are found. #Cybersecurity #AI archive.is/rTeYk

The NFB president notes Meta's AI glasses are a useful step, but don't "replace the need for human capacity." An interesting thought on the line between AI assistance and essential human skills. Where do you think that line is? archive.is/NlVkU

A huge shift in AI training: moving from static datasets (like a library) to interactive environments (like a flight sim). The goal is for AI to learn by *doing*, not just reading. Wild, right? #AI archive.is/LQJqr

It's not just about AI making a diagnosis—it's how it argues a case. Researchers found an AI could write a compelling letter arguing *for* an expensive treatment as a doctor, and then write an equally compelling letter *denying* it as an insurance rep. archive.is/M70qS

Here's a stat to wrap your head around: OpenAI is planning to use millions of NVIDIA GPUs that will require 10 gigawatts of power. That's the equivalent energy consumption of several large cities, all dedicated to training and running AI models. #AI archive.is/jomXW

For decades, digital security has basically been a game of whack-a-mole. That's about to flip. By 2030, Gartner predicts the focus will be on AI that stops attacks before they start, completely changing the defensive playbook. #AI #Cybersecurity archive.is/JwSCM

The first malware using GPT-4 "in the wild" has been found. Instead of storing ransomware code, it prompts the AI to generate it at runtime, making each attack payload potentially unique. A mind-bending evolution. #TechNews archive.is/HKhFK

File this under "things that sound like sci-fi but aren't." Over 60% of IT leaders believe AI agents are creating a whole "new class of insider threats" that their organizations are currently unable to manage. Fascinating and slightly terrifying. #TechNews #AI archive.is/Y2jZy

The "Google effect" didn't kill our thinking, it just changed how we research. The same might be true for AI in cybersecurity. It's not about losing skills, but shifting them from finding answers to asking better questions. #Cybersecurity archive.is/DSmHk

Wondering how fast the AI/cybersecurity field is growing? One university program that combines them has seen student participation grow at an average rate of 100% every single year since it launched. The demand is massive. #Tech #Careers archive.is/6Ylph

What keeps security pros up at night? According to a new report, for nearly 80% of them, it's the growing concern that their organization will be targeted by a nation-state cyberattack within the next 12 months. #Cybersecurity archive.is/exLmk

A cool use for Generative AI in cybersecurity: automatically generating incident response playbooks. Rather than a human manually writing a crisis plan, AI can create a custom, step-by-step guide tailored to the specific threat. #GenAI #Cybersecurity archive.is/IEsSO

It seems cyber defenders feel they have a strong shield but a weak radar against AI. A new report shows that while over half trust their endpoint security, only about a third think their threat analysis tools are ready for AI-powered attacks. #Cybersecurity archive.is/bIvoB

The NIST AI Risk Management Framework is one of the most respected tools for managing AI risk. A new plan is directing it to be revised, which one expert warns could strip out key protections against misinformation just as it's becoming a big problem. #Cybersecurity archive.is/oPTFD

Federal agencies face a "dual crisis": AI makes attacks more sophisticated, and our own defenses create info overload. This means security is becoming a matter of machine speed, not human speed. #AI #Cybersecurity archive.is/lHUDy

The key to better forecasting might not be "human vs. AI," but "human + AI." After seeing a new AI beat scores of people in a competition, one human competitor put it best: "If you can’t beat them, merge with them." #Cybersecurity archive.is/9iLFn

Worrying about a competitor is one thing; worrying the tech you're championing will be your undoing is another. Inside Microsoft, the CEO is wrestling with the idea that going all-in on AI is a gamble that could destroy the company. #Cybersecurity #AI archive.is/YiYRC

Google is adding its Gemini AI to Chrome, but they know some of us will want out. There's a built-in option to "unpin" the Gemini icon and hide it. A small but notable nod to user choice in an increasingly AI-saturated world. #Privacy #AI archive.is/PWORz

LinkedIn's cofounder has a "max subscription" strategy for all AI, creating a super-team of AI agents that costs more than my car payment. This shows where the power-user landscape is heading. #Tech #AI archive.is/gDGb7
