Nobody who works 996 has time to worry about the Antichrist.

This is how great data curation looks!

If you are doing research into niche technology markets like detection engineering, do not use Perplexity, OpenAI, or any other LLM. As an expert, the results I received were badly misleading and factually incorrect. You are better off using google. It's more manual, but it is factually better.

Very interesting analysis of EU vs US productivity. We can achieve similar outcomes in the digital space if we make it policy: less rent extraction and toxicity, better mental health, less inequality, lower emissions, happier youth, more democracy, innovation you actually want to use.

NEW: A hacker gained control of 1,100 mobile phones powering covert, AI-generated ads on TikTok. Then, he shared details of the operation with 404 Media. A look inside how startup Doublespeed, which is backed by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), is creating AI spam pages on TikTok to promote products.

Such a fine collection of horrible people, impossible to decide who's the worst

No bad idea ever dies in cybersecurity. It just receive a new acronym.

My prediction on AI-enabled Ransomware in 2026 - it will remain marketing-driven threat intel cyberfuturist.medium.com/prediction-i...

State of the tech industry in 2025

We are so cooked! OpenAI GPT 5.2 is actually no better on real-world tasks than 5.1 or 5. Joke aside, the update seems performative, not transformative. Gaming benchmarks typifies everything that is wrong with the current tech industry. I guess it performs well as a nepobaby parenting aid.

Here's my anti-prediction for 2026: What will not happen is AGI.

You know what? I'm willing to empirically test this as many times as it takes to reach statistical certainty about any conclusions we reach

The best analogy for most people using GenAI is of the chimpanzee playing with a loaded gun tech.slashdot.org/story/25/12/...

For the weekend, a reminder that there are many, many things AI simply cannot inspire or do. Humans are amazing. youtu.be/yoIa1igjZXM?...

I often think about cathedrals, not because I am religious, but because they were multigenerational projects that communities sacrificed to build. I can't imagine many people today working on something they won't see finished. Great nations plant oaks, and build something like cathedrals.

I hope AI automates away mimes

How much money did they make? Oh wait, I forgot 🤦‍♂️ How much did that cost them? ChatGPT is Apple’s most downloaded app of 2025 in the US techcrunch.com/2025/12/10/c...

You have to be a little bit idiotic to believe that people not being pro-trump automatically makes them progressive. There are many, many other options.

Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it.

This is Jon Lonsdale, cofounder of Palantir.👇 That’s the Palantir whose software Wes and NHS England are wanting to roll out to manage our health records. We’re putting our health records in the hands of a man who would bring back public hangings.

The prime market for AI are people with too much money who think tech is the answer to everything.

A blast from my past - the Medieval Soldier database takes nearly 300,000 military service records from 1369-1453 and makes them available as a searchable database. An invaluable resource for understanding medieval warfare, society and the English medieval state. Learn more in the link. 🗃️

Let them eat cake. Fiddling while Rome burns. So many historical analogies...

We have had low-code and no-code tools for a long time, not to mention you could learn almost anything today, either instructed or self-taught via books, videos, etc. AI is not magically going to make people more creative. Most people are consumers. Not makers.

For Borrell, who stepped down last year, it justified his earlier warning that Europe “must learn to speak the language of power.” We could start by all speaking a single language. www.msn.com/en-us/news/w...

As a pan-European with grandparents from the Baltic, Germany, England and Ireland, it has always made me incredibly sad that so few Europeans feel it is an identity. Nationalism has always held Europe back and stands in the way of a new, truly unified Europe. www.msn.com/en-us/news/w...

I do find it disappointing to learn when a person doesn't read science.

I think the jury is out on whether LLMs make people more productive, but I think it's pretty clear it makes many more dishonest.

Anyone else getting tired of people on Bluesky posting content from X? If I wanted to still see mental diarrhoea I wouldn't have migrated

All of the anthropomorphization of AI is the blowback from "you don't need to be technical to work in tech". Now we have a bunch of marketers and sales people in charge who think AI is sentient.

I think that the more intellectually bankrupt Silicon Valley is becoming, the more desperate the quest for superintelligence, because we always seek what we don't have.

In 2026, we can expect the emergence of cost-maximizing attacks -techniques that deliberately inflate the operational cost of AI agent-based SOCs by generating adversarial traffic, ambiguous alerts, or high-complexity workloads. cyberfuturist.medium.com/the-emergenc...
