generative AI works by returning the statistically most probable reply to your query. in other words, it’s mediocre by definition.

Finally one thing they are, due to being statistical models of text, these neural networks and other large language models are indeed designed to do: milquetoastify boringify language.

When I recently told an executive about the North Korean remote workers' scheme, he almost shit his pants.

Known as a triple threat, North Koreans gain real jobs at Western firms, earn a wage, then steal data and extort them when they get caught. All to make the regime money for nuclear weapons.

Thousands of North Koreans have secretly infiltrated US and European companies as remote IT workers

North Korea's secret remote workers are a major threat facing U.S. and European businesses today, taking jobs in Fortune 100 and smaller companies alike. Here's how to recognize and combat the threat.

nowadays every app wants to be a platform, and platform logic requires that they become the *only* platform.

that's why they all start as Specific: The Tool That Does A Thing and five years later announce they're rebranding as Totalizr: We Manage Your Life

Look folks gen AI videos are out in the wild so if you weren't already being careful about sharing rage bait videos then now is a great time to start

If you can't trace a video back to a trusted source then I recommend leaving it where it is, like a slice of bologna you found on the street

Public transit doesn't exist to make a profit, it is a public service. If you make it crappier so it doesn't meet people's needs, then charge more for it so fewer people can pay for it, *then* complain when fewer people use it, that shows a pretty fundamental lack of comprehension.

We're seeing lots of headlines about the catastrophic impact of massive data center expansion. But what else could data centers look like?

In my perpetual quest to seek out alternative technofutures, I want to highlight the really cool work of Keolu Fox.
