Eugen RochkoIt’s hard not to say “AI” when everybody else does too, but technically calling it AI is buying into the marketing. There is no intelligence there, and it’s not going to become sentient. It’s just statistics, and the danger they pose is primarily through the false sense of skill or fitness for purpose that people ascribe to them.
Asbjørn UlsbergMan Announces He Will Quit Drinking by 2050.
A Sydney man has set an ambitious target to phase out his alcohol consumption within the next 29 years, as part of an impressive plan to improve his health.
The program will see Greg Taylor, 73, continue to drink as normal for the foreseeable future, before reducing consumption in 2049 when he turns 101. He has assured friends it will not affect his drinking plans in the short or medium term.
Taylor said it was important not to rush the switch to non-alcoholic beverages. “It’s not realistic to transition to zero alcohol overnight. This requires a steady, phased approach where nothing changes for at least two decades,” he said, adding that he may need to make additional investments in beer consumption in the short term, to make sure no night out is worse off.

Waldo JaquithWhen cities run gun buyback programs, they work with a vendor to run the program and destroy the guns. Despite their marketing to the contrary, those vendors turn out to have been reselling the guns, as a matter of course, minus the receiver. 98% are resold. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/10/us/guns-disposal-recycling.html?unlocked_article_code=1.E00.JnYH.TqkHjf6uP1oW&smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare
Jon WorthWhy the *hell* are people I know who make ethical choices about everything - from the food they eat to how they travel to the clothes they buy - so INCAPABLE of doing that for the tech choices they make?
For goodness sake: Threads is owned by Meta. That ALONE is reason enough to not use it. And there ARE alternatives!

Dan GoodinIf you use a Windows or Linux device, it's vulnerable to a new post-exploit attack that can remotely install an undetectable backdoor at the UEFI level. Updates from just about every vendor available today. Impressive work from @matrosov and the rest of Binarly.
