Leslie Daigle @lesliedaigle.bsky.social · 24/09/2026It's not that these consequences are necessarily intended -- but disrupting balances can have unexpected, unwanted outcomes. 000
Leslie Daigle @lesliedaigle.bsky.social · 02/09/2026When "free VPNs" aren't... turning your home network connection into a gateway to all manner of miscreants to carry out attacks across the globe, and leave you holding the bag. Interesting discussion with Jason Livingood! 000
Leslie Daigle @lesliedaigle.bsky.social · 13/08/2026Sharing 30second videos beats the old cringey home video night, but when things go global, it can have a real impact on family life. 010
Leslie Daigle @lesliedaigle.bsky.social · 04/06/2026AI is huge. If you do use AI tools, you should be thoughtful about HOW you use it. Ted Yang has some suggestions! 000
Leslie Daigle @lesliedaigle.bsky.social · 14/05/2026We are currently living through a global experiment, as we have increasingly invited AI into our most vulnerable and lonely places. If we delegate our conscience to algorithms that aren’t haunted by regret or soothed by redemption, we risk a dangerous “ethical de-skilling.” 000
Leslie Daigle @lesliedaigle.bsky.social · 06/05/2026100 episodes in... there's still so much to discover! What were you doing in 2020? Does it feel like a lifetime ago? What are you expecting from the next 6 years? 000
Leslie Daigle @lesliedaigle.bsky.social · 15/04/2026AI is making everything faster -- including for the bad guys perpetrating phishing and deep fake cybercrimes. We need a solution that will scale -- GCA turns to collaboration, not computers. 000
Leslie Daigle @lesliedaigle.bsky.social · 25/03/2026In a month where the EU has sanctioned three entities accused of supporting state-backed attack campaigns compromising tens of thousands of devices over the course of a couple of years -- sleeper bots are reality, not theory. Are we ready? 101
Leslie Daigle @lesliedaigle.bsky.social · 18/02/2026If you want AI to generate books "in the style of X", you have to train it on all the works of X. How does X feel about that? 000
Leslie Daigle @lesliedaigle.bsky.social · 28/01/2026If you've ever waited 5 months for a 15min radiology scan appointment -- chances are the backlog is in the analysis of the result. 000
Leslie Daigle @lesliedaigle.bsky.social · 07/01/2026The principles that made a successful open, global Internet are under threat. Policy overreach and technical mandates threaten to create a substandard “splinternet.” A push for “digital sovereignty”, eg at WSIS+20 challenges openness, multi-stakeholder governance, and decentralization 000
Leslie Daigle @lesliedaigle.bsky.social · 03/09/2025The advent of the printing press brought significant change, too. We couldn't now imagine life without it. Where is AI taking us, in terms of literacy? 000
Leslie Daigle @lesliedaigle.bsky.social · 13/08/2025Spoiler alert -- the answer is yes :^). And, early detection is important. Have a listen! 000
Leslie Daigle @lesliedaigle.bsky.social · 02/07/2025Online advertising is not going away -- by tracking and selling your shopping data, retailers (on and offline) are able to put data behind which ads are successful. And make money doing it. 000
Leslie Daigle @lesliedaigle.bsky.social · 14/05/2025Traditional journalism has to compete for attention with social media. This is set up as an unfair fight. 000
Leslie Daigle @lesliedaigle.bsky.social · 30/04/2025It's 10am, and do you know what your IP addresses are up to? I had fun doing the keynote presentation at ARIN 55 this week -- illustrating the threat of attacks circulating on the Internet, and how collaboration among infrastructure operators could address them! www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEWj...youtube.comARIN 55 Day 1 LivestreamYouTube video by ARIN (American Registry for Internet Numbers) 030
Leslie Daigle @lesliedaigle.bsky.social · 26/03/2025While this approach has powered extraordinary growth, it has also created "discourse dumpster fires". How can we move beyond the “promote and police” model that dominates today’s platforms? And what practical steps can create digital spaces that bring out the best rather than the worst of us? 100
Leslie Daigle @lesliedaigle.bsky.social · 05/03/2025Spoiler alert: never believe them if they say they've destroyed their copy of your data... 000
Leslie Daigle @lesliedaigle.bsky.social · 12/02/2025The way the word gets its news is changing -- imperative now, more than ever. 000
Leslie Daigle @lesliedaigle.bsky.social · 22/01/2025With a cameo from my cat, no less :^). In all seriousness -- it was a fun discussion! 020
Leslie Daigle @lesliedaigle.bsky.social · 21/01/2025A tale of a sweater that sat under my desk, 99% finished, until I finally just washed it and THREW IT IN THE DRYER!

Leslie Daigle @lesliedaigle.bsky.social · 20/11/2024When I think of the future described in Neuromancer, this isn't it.... 000
Leslie Daigle @lesliedaigle.bsky.social · 30/11/2023Can major scientific innovations be driven to deliver on the promise of social justice? Dr. Jenny Reardon joins co-hosts Alexa Raad and @lesliedaigle.bsky.social to discuss the important topic of science, capitalism and social justice. techsequences.org/podcasts/202...techsequences.org Podcasts | Science, Capitalism, and Social Justice – can we do better? 010
Leslie Daigle @lesliedaigle.bsky.social · 14/11/2023And, here we have it: my first bluesky post. Sharing (with no one, so far :^) ) this important announcment from a couple of weeks ago. 040
