I have public lists of cybersecurity reporters and pundits on both BlueSky and Mastodon and find it simultaneously encouraging and discouraging how much of the Americans’ content has changed from cybersecurity research to tangential privacy rights and even just social justice in the past six months.
I'm starting to like mastodon now, after bluesky weird UX and Twitter's riddled-with-nazis-ness, it's looking pretty good 😃

@ZachWeinersmith I spend an unfortunate amount of time helping new coders with ChatGPT-generated code. Repeatedly, the code is worse than nothing. It takes them down the wrong road (often a nonexistent road), making it harder for them to find the right approach. Code-reviewing AI code is very difficult because its mistakes are not like the mistakes human coders make.

You should not use an AI to write code you couldn’t have easily written yourself. You must be able to carefully judge its output.

What is your main browser (engine)?

The myth that AI x risk concerns are 'orthogonal' to dealing with actually existing AI harms has to be challenged. We make the road by walking.

Dealing with existing harms now is the path no matter what your long term goal might be.

i’m furnishing an apartment next month and everything in it is going to be so fucking dumb. no alexas, no wifi lightbulbs, no internet-connected appliances. i’m even getting a TV i can put in basic mode without the apps.

Those voluntary commitments from AI cos announced at the White House on July 21? Here's a look at what's missing and what's weirdly included -- and why self-regulation just isn't going to cut it.
