The local AI angle is getting good. Not “buy the most expensive new box” good. More like “what can you do with old data center GPUs, smart setup choices, and some home lab patience?” good. Lon Seidman explains on Intelligent Machines. buff.ly/tH8un0S

AI can make teams faster. But what happens when it also makes them less practiced? Less debugging. Less code review. Less deep system knowledge. Less human pattern recognition. Security Now looks at AI driven expertise loss. buff.ly/g4ldXic
