A Norwegian senior lecturer in Social Informatics, who focuses on Social Cybersecurity and Digital Preparedness, finds the idea that chatbots are AI hysterically ridiculous. #NAFO member since 2023. https://www.nord.no/om/ansatte/per-arne-godejord

The current idea that chatbots are "AI" and claims that computers can now truly think is a reflection of the imbalance between rapid technological progress and the widespread lack of scientific literacy. In the past, people fervently believed in demons and UFOs. Today, it's AI.

Kristoffersen-brødrene serverer både advarsler og innrømmelser i sin nye bok, «Beredt».

«Hvis han [Vladimir Putin] oppfatter at krisen er stor nok, kan det inkludere en invasjon av deler av Norge».

Kristoffersen-brødrene i ny bok: «Russland kan se det som nødvendig å invadere deler av Norge» - Altinget

I tillegg tar brødrene selvkritikk for at de tidlig på 2000-tallet tenkte nokså lite på å forsvare Norge, selv om dette er Forsvarets hovedoppgave.

China is not our friend. They will continue to talk out both sides of their mouths until it is advantageous to show their hands. By then it will be too late for Taiwan and possibly many more if we don't wake up very soon and stop funding their build up of military power.

China has significantly helped Russia gain an edge in fiber-optic drone tech. Beijing sharply increased exports of key components like fiber optics and lithium batteries for FPV drone production. While claiming neutrality, China allowed a surge in parts that now fuel Russia’s domestic drone assembly

FFI-forsker Eskil Grendahl Sivertsen sier at russisk propaganda ikke handler om å få oss til å tro på løgner, men om å få oss til å tvile på alt.

– Den skumleste formen for manipulasjon er den langsiktige strategien for å gradvis svekke tillit og forsterke konflikt.

“Vibe coding” risks becoming the new open‑source dependency crisis. By embedding AI‑generated code without scrutiny, developers propagate opaque vulnerabilities. This shift from reuse to unvetted automation demands critical digital literacy. #CyberSec #AI

Vibe Coding Is the New Open Source—in the Worst Way Possible

As developers increasingly lean on AI-generated code to build out their software—as they have with open source in the past—they risk introducing critical security failures along the way.

Christiano (2024) warns that ChatGPT’s greatest risk in education is not plagiarism but the erosion of students’ motivation to write and think for themselves. Writing is thinking; outsourcing it to AI risks cognitive loss and a diminished authentic voice.

So when I hear of students being encouraged to use GPT in college I don’t hear innovation. I hear cognitive atrophy, the inability to think critically for oneself, and total dependence on vulnerable centralized repositories of data for knowledge without ever understanding how knowledge is generated.

One curious thing on this site about speaking out against the encroachment of LLMs is that inevitably you get accused of being anti-tech. I don’t hate technology. I’ve used machine learning in my own code before. But I also recognize that oligarchs are so hellbent on pushing this tech for a reason.
