Someone asked if I’m ever worried about how companies neglect security, erm no.
I’m more worried about geopolitical security - it feels super unsettling with some of the idiots in power and crockery going on across the globe.

Overvalued, no say it ain’t so.
The bursting of a potential AI bubble could have severe consequences for the US and global economy — and reshape the AI sector itself.
How an AI bubble bursting could erode US tech dominance and accelerate China's rise
There are growing concerns that the AI sector may be overvalued. If an AI bubble does burst, China could benefit in the long term.

Yes I did it. Those lessons were always compliance crockery at the end of term.
Let kids be. There’s way too much structure for them today.
Play is being eroded, turning them into little future corporate minions.

My niece got caught by the headmaster with her friends in the toilets on the last day of term. They were bunking the last English lesson. Apparently it was only an hour long and she’s like there’s was no point going.
When no one was around, I told her if you’re gonna do that don’t get caught. Heh.

All the supermarkets and people like Pret are stocking these over priced ginger shots. What a con. Make your own.
Also, I am offended at Moju, cheeky gits.

Whilst this is being “considered” it ain’t good then again nothing surprises me anymore.
If it goes through, who knows how long it will actually last.
Either way, I wonder those who travel to security conferences in the US will rationalise their visit.

Most discussions about “misinformation” treat the problem as if people simply don’t have good enough critical-thinking skills. It sounds intuitive, but it’s not entirely accurate. The problem isn’t just individual ignorance, it’s the structure of the information environment people are placed into.
Finland has emerged as a global leader in countering “fake news”. Here's how they've done it
Teaching when to trust
As fake news accelerates, we need to teach our children how to think critically. Finnish schools are leading the charge
