Our next speaker announcement is for someone well known to those who frequent @Hack_Thursday! @idcyberuk's @fignjam will explore the question of whether the boom in AI can make security easier or much harder. hackglasgow.live

Love this quote: "Anger is the punishment you give yourself for someone else's mistake" (Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar) Why get upset for someone else's mistakes?

Wowsers, it is amazing and scary at the same time! AI generated songs
Okay, I am blown away and horrified in equal measure. This took an AI 20 seconds to create, and all I asked for (my daughter loves hard rock and cats) was a hard rock song about cats.

Replying to @Broadcom
@Broadcom why won't you allow pasting in the password field when registering an account? I am not going to type my 120 character random password twice. Please make this work with password managers

When I’m interviewed, I am often asked about the dangers of AI. This ad I just came across is, in my opinion, a perfect example of what’s truly dangerous about AI. We are entering an era where AI is not just a tool but is marketed as an emotional companion, which blurs the line between human interaction and artificial interactions. I would love to hear the opinions of psychologists and psychiatrists on this topic. But from my perspective, relying on AI to find emotional company feels like a slippery slope. Are we sacrificing genuine human connections for simulated empathy? Is this healthy? Let’s start a conversation about the impact of these technologies on mental health. Please comment only if you are human :) #AIConcerns #MentalHealth #ArtificialIntelligence #TechEthics #AICompanions #DigitalWellbeing #Psychology #AIandSociety #HealthyConnections

Ooh boot failure alert for next year. Book overtime now 😂😇
Attention IT Pros! The Microsoft UEFI CA, which SecureBoot relies on, will expire on Monday October 19, 2026, after 15 years of validity. Mark this date in your calendar. Devices require a Firmware/DB update; otherwise, stop booting. 🔒#WindowsSecurity support.microsoft.com/en-us/…

An observation. Anyone seen the behaviour where you download the EICAR signature and Defender is not alerting on download? This may be recent behaviour since the beginning of this week. *I am not going to speculate on possible causes with certain outages..* #eicar
