A message pops up: “I’m stuck abroad. Please send money.” It looks like your sister. It feels urgent. But is it real? 👀

With just a few seconds of audio, scammers can create #AI-driven deepfake calls that sound exactly like your loved ones, exploiting trust, urgency and fear to trick you.

Training our #digitalmindfulness, and using a safe word—can help us pause, breathe, and verify before we act.

Be mindful. Stay safe.

I have a few close friends who are pretty much all-in on LLM/ML tools hyped up as #AI, integrating it in their existing workflows. Some even developing new “skills” (e.g.; vibe-coding).

They aren’t worried about the bubble popping.

But @pluralistic is, and he brings receipts: https://pluralistic.net/2025/09/27/econopocalypse/

“… 1/3 of the stock market is tied up in 7 AI companies that have no way to become profitable… [T]his is a bubble that's going to burst and take the whole economy with it…”

Here's an example of #YouTube's invitation to cheat by having #AI make videos for you. The suggestions are terrible, and the details, when you expand them, are even worse. #YouTube is corrupting knowledge, science and it's facilitating cheating and crime. Very disappointing.

Trapped in "War Ravaged" Portland!

Some call #Trump a prize hog at a county fair rolling around in his own filth. An irascible, impotent airborne virus good for horse flies & untethered syphilis.

OMG, after you post a video, #YouTube now has an "inspiration" with "Ideas for your next video". and even uses AI to sketch it for you. The results are just ghastly. Technically bad stuff written in a ghastly flowery style designed to disguise the lack of real content. #AI is truly a tool for criminals.

Reason 9 To Choose Linux 😍

No AI bundling! You decide if you want generative #AI / #LLM tools on your operating system.

There are many reasons to use or not use #genAI.

These tools are powerful, but also power-hungry in training and use.

With a critical eye they may speed up productivity, while feeding you confabulations / hallucinations.

With #Linux 🐧 the choice to have AI on your OS is yours!
