Everyone is talking about AI killing humans. Some are completely trapped inside the Terminator movie, so narrow minded that they genuinely believe an AI-enabled machine is going to one day take over human life. I want to be direct about this: AI itself will not kill you! Neither did the discovery of atomic energy. It […]
For the past few years, we were told that AI can calculate, predict, imitate, and search. But it cannot really discover. That last part was supposed to be different. A calculator can give you the answer. A search engine can find the answer. An AI can even explain the answer. But discovering something that nobody […]
The Two Faces of Theft I’m going to say this loudly: We spend all our time telling people to watch out for online scams, while they are being legally robbed every single day. We call a criminal a malicious social engineer when they exploit human psychology to trick someone into a financial mistake. That is […]
Why This Story Doesn’t Add Up Let’s talk about this recent incident with OpenAI and their powerful model supposedly breaking out of its sandbox, talking to another AI system, and doing whatever else they claimed. The whole narrative is engineered for maximum publicity, and I am going to tell you why. Engineering integrity should never […]
People are losing their minds over this story about an AI model breaking out of a sandbox. The headlines make it sound like a sci-fi movie…Take that recent news about OpenAI. The reports claim an unreleased model broke out of its secure sandbox and started digging around on Hugging Face just to steal test answers. […]
There is a point in every industry where you have to step out of the weeds and look at the whole landscape. AI has reached that point. The mainstream conversation is stuck on the technical treadmill: new models, new infrastructure, new GPUs, new frameworks, new benchmarks. All fascinating, no doubt. But fascination is not the […]
Nobody wants to hear this. But someone has to say it: The industry is full of people who collected certificates like trading cards, dropped a university name in their bio, and convinced a hiring manager they could secure a network they have never actually touched. It works, for a while. Then reality shows up. You […]
Running in Circles You are lost in a security rabbit hole, and you are not getting any closer to being secure. You think you are making progress, but you are not. You keep investing in products and services, yet your risk remains the same. The reason is simple: you are taking the entirely wrong route. […]
We’ve reached a point where people talk about technology as if it’s the destination (look what’s happening with AI these days). It is not! Technology is only useful when it serves a human purpose. Everything else is noisy shiny distracting, and completely disconnected from the real problems we face as a species. I’ve spent almost […]
The Myth of the Silver Bullet Too many organizations today are under the impression that a collection of marketing buzzwords, EDR, XDR, Zero Trust, NGF, and the rest, constitutes a valid security program. They treat these acronyms as a substitute for actual strategy, delegating the entire responsibility to a team while the leadership remains detached. […]
The new illusion These days, the industries have a new religion: Agentic AI will fix everything! People talk as if tools have finally replaced thinking, planning, and responsibility. But the fantasy is the same as before, only louder. A tool can act. A tool can automate. A tool can even decide within a narrow frame. […]
The Problem Is Not The Worker/Employee One time I discussed this matter in depth: Because most managers have never done the things they are asking others to do. That is the root of the problem. If somebody never experienced the work themselves, they have no real understanding of: So what happens? Random and completely arbitrary […]
