One of the common questions that I get from people who DM me on LinkedIn and on the GRC subreddit is how someone could get into Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC). I thought I would write up my thoughts on it here:

I’ll say it again. What makes this platform different is that it’s moderated. And, The Terms of Service are enforced. Bluesky is not like Twitter
The world needs a platform where people who disagree can have a real discussion.

The problem is you assume they want to "engage and have reals discussions on real issues." They don't. When confronted with facts, data, science, actual laws, and the like, they resort to spewing lies, disinformation and hate.

NEW: The United States has halted all packages from China until further notice because Trump's tariffs got rid of a key import duty exemption. @zeyiyang.bsky.social has all the details about the implications. I've never seen anything like this in my life tbh www.wired.com/story/tariff...
USPS Halts All Packages From China, Sending the Ecommerce Industry Into Chaos
As part of new tariffs on Chinese imports, President Donald Trump eliminated an exemption for small packages, vastly increasing the amount of parcels US Customs and Border Protection needs to inspect.

The more I use GenAI coding tools, the more I am convinced keeping to "traditional" software engineering practices is what works most productive here. As in 10x more productive. E.g.

- Test that the change works before moving on
- (unit) tests wherever you can

OpenAI’s Operator enters the AI Agent race, handling tasks like buying tickets or booking restaurants via its $200 Pro plan. It partners with sites like Stubhub and Instacart, though some, like Reddit, block it.
This could spark an even worse spam arms race as bots become easier to create & deploy

the thing is that Reddit fucking loves to throw tantrums against the mods and admins
it’s the closest we have to forums now and everyone has the resulting deep distrust of the mods
I have seen remarkably little pushback on banning twitter links, this is genuinely popular so far

If a new feature annoys users, makes their product usage more difficult/distracting, and cannot be turned off for paying customers:
This is not "AI."
It's a feature to increase customer churn - regardless of how cleverly engineered it is, how how expensive it was to build.

Why are ultra-wealthy people who feel uneasy about the security of their riches so often driven to support authoritarian parties that wield xenophobia and cultural reaction against those who defend the integrity of the state against the ultra-wealthy? Such a mystery.
