We've all been there... an LLM gives us a VERY confident answer and then we find out it waswrong Why don't LLMs have an "I don't know" function? There are many different facets to this answer, from the way they're trained, to the way we interact with them, to the nature of the internet itself.

Sharing a piece I published today about surviving in a post-privacy world. We have virtually no control over our data and need to move forward under the assumption of compromise, meaning we need a better way to handle biometrics. Check out my piece here thecuberesearch.com/rsac-2025-su...

"MY PRINGLESSSSSSESSSSSS!!!!" I hiss at absolutely no one while I, a professional, eat them and tuna from a can with my fingers for lunch. As I tell students frequently... being grown up is a myth. Most of us barely have it together.

@404media.co I live in Pinal county. It's not the county Tucson is in, it's just north. Mostly agriculture, no real large urban area. Hard to imagine Massive Blue would be used for anything other than immigration.

Theoretically speaking, if you put several sleeves of expired bagels in your neighbor's garbage can on the curb at 6 a.m. would it be weirder to not tell them and take the chance they see them before the truck gets here... or txt them "I put my bagels in your trash can" first thing in the morning?

The life I live today is so far above and beyond what I wished for as a kid, sometimes it's hard to wrap my head around it. I have worked really hard for a very long time, pushed through every setback, and I'm so proud of myself. Dream big, work hard, fall down and get up, repeat ❤️

AI may not take your job, but it might cost you your job 😳 The speed at which large companies are racing to deploy AI shortcuts makes it nearly impossible to do so securely. Most projects (4/5) aren't involving Security in the early stages, which would likely catch these kind of basic lapses.

Here's an interesting one... The FBI and CISA released guidance to start using encrypted messaging... But clarified that they still want a backdoor. Today, I noticed this story was spun and HEAVILY prompted to me on Google News with a much different message by a site from Algeria 🤔

I'm not sure how you would distinguish between speaking to a therapist and using a chatbot as one. If these services are designed and marketed to form deep relationships with their users, strict guidelines need to be put in place to determine how this data can be collected, stored, and used.

AI friendships claim to cure loneliness. Some are ending in suicide.
Researchers have long warned of the dangers of building relationships with chatbots. But millions of people spend hours a day bonding with AI companions.
