Radovan Semančík @semancik.eurosky.social · 06/10/2026It is too easy to fake compliance with cybersecurity regulations by employing genAI. It is quite likely to pass scrutiny, as both auditors and authorities are confused and overwhelmed. However, even though you can fake compliance, you cannot fake cybersecurity. Reality always bites back. 110

Radovan Semančík @semancik.eurosky.social · 22/09/2026Interesting phenomenon: chatbots are surprisingly useful to me when they give obviously *wrong* answer (which happens a lot). In such case I start to "argue" with the answer in my head, and it is much easier to realize what is the right answer. It works like expensive rubber duck debugging. 110
