@neil I'd ask whether they used AI, and if yes, I'd ask what they used, what they used it for, and how. The answer to that would determine whether I find a different lawyer.
@Edent Upside down. April Fool's joke?

New, by me: How AI Assistants are Moving the Security Goalposts

AI-based assistants or “agents” — autonomous programs that have access to the user’s computer, files, online services and can automate virtually any task — are growing in popularity with developers and IT workers. But as so many eyebrow-raising headlines over the past few weeks have shown, these powerful and assertive new tools are rapidly shifting the security priorities for organizations, while blurring the lines between data and code, trusted co-worker and insider threat, ninja hacker and novice code jockey.

If you're on LinkedIn and are thinking about verifying your account with them, maybe read this first. It walks through LinkedIn's privacy disclosure to identify 17 companies that may receive and process the data you submit, including name, passport photo, selfie, facial geometry, NFC data chip, national ID #, DoB, email, phone number, address, IP address, device type, MAC address, language, geolocation etc. Unsurprisingly, it seems the biggest recipients are US-based AI companies.

Boosting this because I have a number of laen's delightful creations on my desk, and they bring me joy every day. I shall no doubt add more.

@martwritesstuff I just finished Andrea Wulf's The Invention of Nature - The Adventures of Alexander von Humboldt, The Lost Hero of Science. Ignore the click-baity title - this book combines nature (writing), science and history. Originally published in 2015, so apologies if you've already read it. - And I second the Lost Rainforests (Guy Shrubsole) recommendation.
@helenclayton Happy Birthday. Great way to celebrate!
@moonrabbit Absolutely sure 🙂
@moonrabbit Most kind of you. I have an even better idea: why don't you treat yourself to something instead. I mean it! Next time, I'll get in touch beforehand before ordering.
