I'm actually so over reading ChatGPT generated LinkedIn content that I'm considering building adblock but for AI slop. I suspect people are hiring budget marketing firms to grow their accounts, then the marketing firms are using AI to spam popular posts with generic comments to get engagement.

If the cows are laying down it means a data breach is coming 😂😂

Got a SOC Analyst job after 6+ months of applying. Key advice: keep applying, tailor your resume to fit the job, and apply even if you lack the stated 3+ years of experience. Highlight equivalent experience instead. Hope this helps!

Holy guacamole… Yes, every single vote counts!!! www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Isn't this exactly how Shaun of the Dead started?

The PowerSchool breach led to ransom demands sent to families across North America, even after payment. The data wasn't deleted and includes decades-old sensitive info. Schools are now in a frenzy to address this, highlighting the risk of weak access points in security.

#Canadian #education organizations are targeted by cybercriminals because they hold valuable data, have limited resources for #cybersecurity, and often lack the technical expertise and unified policies needed to defend against sophisticated attacks." www.perplexity.ai/search/why-a...

Tell me again how #AI is going to make everything better.

What is the lifespan of software? What if you make software that's silly and full of whimsy? Will people remember it? Anyway, here's a video someone recently posted of “Good Luck, Babe!” by Chappell Roan performed through the composer feature in Mario Paint, a game released on Super Nintendo in 1992

Reading this and finding that it's burning a hole in the Matrix we find ourselves in. www.theguardian.com/books/articl...

Probably US based where teaching is much more precarious, but there are a couple of other strange resonances here. Unless you're following a predetermined set of lessons effective lesson planning can minimize assessment stress. The strangest is no mention of #edtech disruption though.

“If a worker committed the kind of incompetence that WorkComposer did, this data might be used to fire them,” EFF’s José told @gizmodo.com of a massive bossware data breach. “WorkComposer, too, should be out of a job.”

Yeah, well what do you expect from a left-wing rag like -- checks notes -- THE FINANCIAL TIMES!!?? It's the same story every election now. Conservatives can't win without carpet-bombing the public with disinformation. article: www.ft.com/content/743c... #cdnpoli #Elxn2025

"a figure even the FBI called “staggering”: losses reported to its Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) in 2024 totaled $16.6 billion, the bulk of which came from fraud - among those frauds, business email compromise (BEC) remained a pervasive threat." www.nacha.org/news/fbis-ic...

How does research into propaganda do this? "unconstitutionally abridge the free speech of any American"? Speech isn't free if it's polluted with #disinformation.

Self driving capabilities in Teslas were always hype over substance. Chances of you having a self driving car any time soon: unlikely. A better question is why would you want them? We have vehicles you don't have to drive now called public transit. electrek.co/2025/04/14/t...
