AI-generated voices are weaponised by online trolls, how ChatGPT reflects who we are as a society, and social media is in the firing line again.

All this and much much more is discussed in the latest edition of the “Smashing Security” #podcast by computer security veterans @gcluley and Carole Theriault, joined this week by The Cyberwire’s @bittner

No better book to set the mood for the new year and days ahead.

Resolve to rest. Resolve to daydream and imagine and nap. Resolve to understand, to truly understand, that you are already and always enough.

The appropriation of "content warnings" on this platform is increasingly disturbing. I just saw a professional writer asked to CW links to their work as "self promotion."

Content warnings are an ACCESSIBILITY TOOL to provide guidance to vulnerable people that material might trigger serious emotional disturbance, panic attacks and/or PTSD symptoms. CW means "this could impact your health" not "you might not want to see this."

It's like kids using the ramp into a building as a bike jump.
