Not sure how many of you use ChatGTP, but you might want to scale back.

"The latest model of ChatGPT has begun to cite Elon Musk’s Grokipedia as a source on a wide range of queries, including on Iranian conglomerates and Holocaust deniers, raising concerns about misinformation on the platform.

In tests done by the Guardian, GPT-5.2 cited Grokipedia nine times in response to more than a dozen different questions."

Microsoft reportedly gave the FBI BitLocker recovery keys to unlock encrypted laptops in a Guam fraud probe. 🔐

I’m genuinely stunned. 🤯 Encryption should protect users — not defer to cloud-stored keys that can be handed over on demand. ⚠️

This raises deep concerns about trust, what “secure by default” means. 🧩

There's really NO reason why a decent mid-range phone couldn't be someone's main desktop or laptop. The NexPhone is a mid-range rugged phone which connects to a monitor to be a Debian or Windows 11 PC! youtu.be/qfY5t6N8YxM

Phones are computers. I ramble on about this a lot in my videos. This phone is LITERALLY that!

Today’s lesson: Don’t believe everything you read on the internet. A viral Reddit post about an unnamed food delivery company that delays customer orders takes all of the “driver benefit fee” was probably AI-generated. “Considering the delivery app industry track record of exploitation of its drivers, it’s easy to see why so many people believed this was the real thing,” Elissa Welle writes in her vetting of the post for @theverge. Read the rest of her report here:

That viral Reddit post about food delivery apps was an AI scam

DoorDash and Uber Eats both deny the allegations in the viral Reddit “confession” post about a “major food delivery app,” and the post is likely AI slop.

🧠 Microsoft is reintroducing Recall in Windows 11 — a feature that captures screenshots every 3 seconds of your activity to create an AI-powered memory. What could go wrong?

It now includes:
🔐 Opt-in only
📍 Local device processing
🧑‍💻 Windows Hello authentication

But many still ask: is it a productivity boost or a privacy liability? 😳
Even with safeguards, the idea of your system quietly watching everything you do raises serious concerns about digital trust.

Oh wow. Skype is shutting down after 23 years, 14 years after Microsoft bought it.

"It’s not clear how many people are impacted. The most recent numbers that Microsoft had shared were in 2023, when it said it had more than 36 million users — a long way from Skype’s peak of 300 million users."

The worst kind of tech hype is when something is portrayed as inevitable and unstoppable, with criticism or doubt blithely dismissed as "they don't get it".

Just because a giant tech company pours vast amounts of money down a toilet, that doesn't mean the toilet is going to start spewing gold coins into the air.
