Kind of like the "7 Stages of Grief" - AI Tech Bro edition. ~ they are speed running through denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. --- or as the kids these days say: COPING www.theregister.com/2025/12/05/a...

~2 yrs ago it was this that set me on my journey to do what I am doing in terms of my academic work... Reminds me of one of my first posts on here - the Ouroboros Effect (an emblematic serpent of ancient Egypt and Greece represented with its tail in its mouth) youtu.be/S-hIEihKL0A

'Rage bait' named word of the year? I would have been surprised if not. Looking at what posts get engagement - it makes sense. Shows what is ranked, exposes just how toxic social media now is. It also exposes how unhealthy the balance and so on. apnews.com/article/oxfo...

Remember that scene in Avengers where the Hulk slaps the living crap out of Loki, well Google is essentially doing the with OpenAI and clammy sammy is sweating bullets. www.startuphub.ai/ai-news/ai-v... apnews.com/article/open...

The hardest of choices requires the strongest of wills. Personally if I see something goes sideways - gotta step up. None of us asked of the chaos but if none of us are willing to face it - I would prefer avoiding the catastrophe we are heading toward... I am willing to bet most feel the same

If I look at -> moral disengagement theory (how creators justify harm), -> media contagion (how one viral act spawns copycats), and -> algorithmic amplification (how platforms promote outrage) in terms of bad conduct (to put it mildly) my prelim assessment is

Back some time I mentioned X's new "about this account" and well here is a good video that goes into detail... it relates to my work part 2 I believe in term of how FAKE engagement on SM is, so am I surprised? nope youtu.be/XSp8pzk1EfA

Feynman has been credited with having pioneered the field of quantum computing - which was part of a module I studied. Regardless, the quote applies more broadly though.

Oh there is actually a video explaining this twitter/x hellscape. Just thought I would post it ~ yes the information is trustworthy and meaningful, it is 20min, but a recommend watch from my side when those interested have time. youtu.be/riTMR_pW6jk

Yeah, cannot say I am surprised. Introduce a new feature, thinking it would be excellent BUT end up exposing yourself... Is it just me or is it "irony month"? Regardless, this is gonna cost X/Twitter some users. www.androidheadlines.com/2025/11/xs-n...

now that I am building my own platform, I can expand way beyond this... man, the stuff these guys are up to - no wonder they have the support of Govt and Military internationally... there are others but yeah I will leave it there for now.

Lastly since I don't want to "spam post" BUT a while ago I mentioned why hashtags should be avoided? Also to use Brave Browser well... now I am simply adding the cherry on top. AVOID AI browsers. www.theregister.com/2025/11/25/h...

Yeah what can POSSIBLY go wrong! Make no mistake, if people don't have proper security (knowledge, tools, etc) this is catastrophic... oh and WormGPT is but ONE of these. www.theregister.com/2025/11/25/w...

Ah yes, the Moravec's paradox Moravec's paradox is the observation that it is easy for artificial intelligence (AI) to perform high-level reasoning, like playing chess, while it is difficult for AI to master tasks that are easy for humans, such as walking, perception, and manual dexterity.

Irony is not without a sense of [dark] humor. Frank Herbert - American writer (1920–1986) - wrote this many years ago... yet here we are, outsourcing our thinking - we are doing the very thing he warned about and it is something we will regret.

Based on a scenario from "if anyone builds it, everybody dies" is not the scenario as the most plausible but given how little so many are paying attention this scenario is in my top. youtu.be/D8RtMHuFsUw

Nvidia CEO says the company is in a no-win situation amid AI-bubble chatter, leaked meeting reveals.

I am going to repost this since people who have not tried Brave Browser should and here are some core reasons. Brave have other features and if you use Chrome you will feel at home. But if privacy is not something you value, then ignore this post.

Also, regarding the Gmail Privacy - well it is true, but nuanced, if you are based in the US - disable and ensure "smart features" are disabled. Sadly the US lack robust protection insofar as Privacy (consent is not much of a thing - though it will change. My recommendation: use Protonmail.

⚠ ‼️ BE CAREFUL WHEN USING CERTAIN HASHTAGS ON SM ‼️ ⚠ Such as #SuperBowlTickets or #LookingForTickets especially when it comes to scams involving TICKETS Scammers use automation tools to look for these tags on platforms such BlueSky, X, FB, Craigslist, Ticketmaster.

People, please be vigilant that you don't buy toys that even mention "AI-enabled" (or such). Regulations are lacking in terms of AI in general so for now it will be up to the consumer. These toys are NOT toys.

When it comes to privacy, basic human rights and freedoms. Have a look at some of the ways you are being surveilled (with or without your consent and why). Some spytech / spyware makes use of AI, Biometrics and so on, decrease your online footprint.
