Threads thread: thriller_instinct 3d Is it okay to bully 40 and 50 year olds who are on social media just for being on it, cuz like why are you here - 254 Q 3.1K G 28 746 corporateash 18h ••• My ICQ UIN is 7231680. That number is burned into my consciousness. I inadvertently learned that you could see private conversations in public chat rooms when using Telnet instead of a browser on GeoCities. I can tell you the difference in audible dial-up handshakes between 1200, 2400, 14.4 kbps modems. I needed a edu email address to join Facebook after my university was admitted.

Digital Compartmentalisation: Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Multiple Screens
Note: I wrote a similar title for a blog post I was writing at work, but some of the kids thought no-one would get the reference (probably because they didn't and didn't want to look stupid). So if you get…
This is just horrible.... and probably just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to human-AI relationships / advice etc and how bad things can go.

We've finally arrived at the moment where an AI trained on the internet gets ads injected into it. The snake eating its own tail, but make it profitable. What could possibly go wrong.

Travel-tinted glasses
When I travel abroad, I become a different person. I find myself doing things i would never do at home. Last week I landed in Billund. It's small, Danish town, and home of Lego. The hotel was in Aarhus. Perfectly reasonable. Except getting there required taking a coach. A…
I dont think it had an official name... if it did, it never told me... @jaimeblascob.bsky.social any ideas? Or @susantorrey.bsky.social
100% agree on this. Social media bans is akin to victim blaming and putting the onus on others to solve the problems and harms that big tech have brought and for which they refuse to deal with
Wow! Did not know that one. Sounds like a classic TMack adventure though! 🤣

We've given AI the keys to the kingdom and most organisations still haven't changed the locks. That's not a metaphor. That's just Tuesday in infosec.
