We are all puppets of the attention economy and the only way to opt out is to stop living life on autopilot and start living as an observer.

There’s a very high chance that the drone footage you’ve seen online was shot on a DJI drone. What’s crazy is how dominant the company became. Depending on the market segment, DJI controls somewhere around 70–90% of the global consumer drone space: www.sknexus.org/p/dji-the-dr...

“If you want to make sure your dinner arrives home when you do, you can also ask Gemini to place an order through a food delivery app. Using voice commands, we asked it to order two fish tacos from Pacific Catch on DoorDash.” IN THIS EXAMPLE, YOU ARE ALREADY ON THE ROAD

Ever wondered what AI actually is? The term gets thrown around a lot but there's a lot that goes on behind the scenes. I decided to break that down over at SK NEXUS, check it out: www.sknexus.org/p/what-is-ai...

Is it just me or is it one of the best tv shows out there?

I am a fan of fitness watches but there's no denying that it's becoming too much of a surveillance tool.

“That is the artisan model of the occult — a retail service for meaning, delivered one client at a time. The chatbot industrializes that model.“

Cloudflare is laying off over 1100 people because they will implement Agentic AI. I wonder what could go wrong. The cycle never stops....

Studies agree on this golden rule: Brain first, AI second: you get smarter AI first, brain second: you get dumber Choose wisely.

I understand startup life. Everything is urgent and moving. And security feels like the one thing you don’t have time for. That’s exactly why attackers win.

Just fascinating how much everyone cares about protecting the children and how fast the whole world aligned on doing the same thing in a matter of years.

Today in luxury surveillance.

I guess turning into a tree is the only option to survive, now.

What The Tech?! The TOR Network

Nah, for me it's gonna be a stacked steam acocunt.

10 ways ‘in-vehicle monitoring’ can flag innocent drivers: -Fatigue -Sun glare -Dental recovery -Medical episodes -Emotional distress -Religious coverings -Post-seizure recovery -Allergies (watery eyes) -Dirty/damaged sensors -Contact lenses/dry eyes And no, this isn't black mirror.

"A T-shirt with a printed human face is presented to the camera, tricking the facial recognition system into believing it is seeing a real three-dimensional face." Indeed a clever way to make the cameras go nuts, can't stop laughing. www.biometricupdate.com/202605/t-shi...

Some words I can never get over, iykyk.

Here we go again.

I am glad I don't live in the USA - because its truly terrible, the arise of Flock, surveillance cars, spyware tech....what's next?

Today in luxury surveillance.

AI makes the rich richer, and the poor poorer and a lot of times makes the debate “will AI replace X role” stupid. The problem is you, if you are not good enough at something, you won’t be able to use the amplifying tool and someone who is able to do that, will probably take your place, period.

You ever open an app you've used for years and think "this used to be better"? You're not imagining it. There's a term for that. Ensh*ttification - check out the full post here: www.sknexus.org/p/enshittifi...

Everyone’s talking about the the MacBook Neo. But almost no one is talking about the one decision that made it possible. Apple stopped playing by the PC industry rules. For years, laptops followed the same formula: Intel or AMD chip Separate CPU, GPU, RAM More power = more heat = worse battery

"Prediction markets are not a haven for using misappropriated confidential or classified information for personal gain."

NEW: Researchers have have exposed yet another spyware maker that develops fake Android apps for its government customers. The apps were pushed with help of telecom providers. And it's yet another Italian company: IPS, which until now was only known to make traditional wiretapping systems.

“If you ask tobacco companies to help write your school’s policy on cigarettes…you’re going to end up with guidance on how to smoke responsibly in school.”

About time, some actions are being taken - a step in the right direction, I guess..

Is it me or Steve Jobs one of those guys who has no enemies?

That account you made in 2008 and forgot about still has your data. Those accounts still exist with your email, your photos, maybe payment info. When those services get breached, your old data gets dumped alongside everyone else's.

Another day, another breach

Well, well, well - look at what we have here.

EU recently launched a “privacy-friendly” age verification app, but it was bypassed in minutes. Same pattern again - ship something weak, let it fail, then justify stricter systems. What starts as privacy-preserving slowly turns into surveillance.

India abandons proposal to require smartphone makers to pre-install the country's biometric national ID app, Aadhaar, on ‌phones, a move opposed by Apple, Google, Samsung ++ <good. India has created a surveillance monster across many aspects of connected life www.reuters.com/world/china/...

No matter how big the pushback is, I think if you compare the people who are raising their voices against this is - they are very small in number and the people who want to buy every luxury surveillance product are immense. And numbers do matter, tech companies don't care what the minority say.

Every Apple customer is a walking billboard for the company. That guy working in an open space with his MacBook? That’s marketing for Apple. People flexing their mirror selfie on social media with their iPhone? That’s marketing for Apple. Once you see it, you can’t unsee it.

That’s Gucci-glasshole to you.

How to protect your self from social engineering: Any time you get a call, email, or message pushing urgency…pause. Don’t use the link anyone sent and don’t call the number they gave. Go to the official site yourself and verify it there - that is the only way to protect yourself in today’s world.

“Generation Z - those born between 1997 and 2012 and who are currently aged 14 to 29 - is not convinced that AI enhances creativity or critical thinking, and the majority believe it may come at a cost, particularly to learning.” My 2 cents - it’s in your hands how the tool is going to affect you.

A hacker calling themselves "FlamingChina" claims they stole 10+ petabytes from China's National Supercomputing Center in Tianjin. If this is real, the attacker had access to a system that processes and stores active research across multiple sensitive sectors simultaneously.

Good thing that there is a first list in the first place and the fact that we even need these lists is pathetic.
