Today I’m chilling at my countryside place, enjoying a gorgeous view. A cow walks by on one side, a dog on the other, and I thought, “It’s about time I shared my thoughts on Mark Zuckerberg’s statement about the future of ads.”

North Korea !

They’re not just hacking, they’re embedded.

North Korean operatives have infiltrated blockchain, Web3, and even Fortune 500 companies.

This isn’t cybercrime for profit, it’s geopolitical warfare disguised as freelance work.

A new law that bans AI regulation?

Yes, really… Tennessee just did that.

Protecting business over people, in the name of “freedom.”

But unregulated AI doesn’t mean safe AI.

This sets a dangerous precedent.

New Law Would Ban All AI Regulation for a Decade

Meta wants to train AI on your data.

noyb says: not without a fight.

Cease and desist letter sent ! class action may be next.

“Legitimate interest” isn’t a free pass for exploitation.

Can “legitimate interest” justify training AI on personal data?

maybe! but it’s risky ground.
Consent isn’t the only legal basis, but it’s the clearest.
AI doesn’t erase fundamental rights.

Please, no purple dragons in legal PDFs.

Watermarks aren't branding ! they’re part of the official record.

Judges don’t want whimsy in court filings.

What you think is creative might be contempt.

Scammers are now leveraging AI to craft more sophisticated scams than ever before. But let's remember, y, it's not the tool but how we use it that determines its impact. It's time to arm ourselves with knowledge and vigilance, because in this digital era, awareness is our most potent defense.

By 2027 AI is predicted to replace 69% of managerial tasks. This mean that your performance review or project approval might be handled by algorithm. On one hand, it's a fascinating testament to techs power; but on the other, it's a sobering reminder of its potential to disrupt our work lives.

We don’t need more ethical AI frameworks.
We need fewer principles and more mechanisms for real accountability.
HUDERIA, from the Council of Europe, is a solid attempt but it still lacks standardization, operational clarity, and global traction.

Deepfakes aren't just a tech trend, they’re rewriting the rules of trust online.

Some countries label AI-generated media.

Others punish misuse. Most are still playing catch-up!

if we don’t build accountability into AI, we’re building on sand.

What happens when we can’t believe our own eyes?

"Regulation kills innovation."

"Regulation drives innovation."

Both are wrong.. and dangerously simplistic

Smart tech regulation isn't about picking sides. It's about asking the right questions: Are we protecting people? Are we enabling real progress? Are we adapting fast enough?

Billions of private photos scanned without clear consent.

Google's "SafetyCore" says it's for protection, but users feel blindsided.

Privacy isn't about hidden terms buried in a ToS.

It's about giving people real control over their own memories.

A year ago, many believed ESG was unstoppable. Today, outflows show a different reality. It's not about investors turning bad, t's about broken promises and superficial strategies. True impact investing must go beyond ticking boxes to create real value.
