New blogpost: AI will compromise your cybersecurity posture
https://rys.io/en/181.html
The way โAIโ is going to compromise your cybersecurity is not through some magical autonomous exploitation by a singularity from the outside, but by being the poorly engineered, shoddily integrated, exploitable weak point you would not have otherwise had on the inside.
LLM-based systems are insanely complex. And complexity has real cost and introduces very real risk.

Best social network money can't buy.
#Fediverse
Seriously though, fedi was built by furries, trans and queer folk, disabled neurodivergent people.
This is the reason the culture here is what it is. Why CWs are a thing. Why image descriptions are a thing. Why privacy matters here. Why moderation tools not only exist, but are usable โ and used.
If you had joined and asked yourself "wow, how come this place is so chill and kindaโฆ nice?" โ that's thanks to all the nice people from communities some people call "weird".
So #KeepFediWeird.
Monopolised, centralized social media is a monoculture where mind viruses can spread unchecked.
#Introduction time! I'm rysiek. On fedi since before it was fedi ยญโ I see you, old StatusNet guard!
Did information security and infrastructure for #PanamaPapers journalists, fought #ACTA on the streets and in meetings, helped write the book on #NetNeutrality, started a hackerspace and a half, and wrote a bunch of code.
Media literacy is a human right. Protocols, not platforms. Communities, not customers. User-Authored Works, not user-generated content.

If anyone is following what's going down in #Minnesota and has some resources they'd like to share to support folks there, here's a bunch of mutual aid links sent in by a friend of a friend, who is there on the ground:

There are so many causes to support, so many people hurting around the world who need aid. Folks in Minnesota are among them.

Microslop's CEO is on a roll!
Few weeks ago he begged us to stop using "slop" because it makes AIs sad. Days ago he complained "AI boom might falter" if we don't start using more spicy autocomplete.
Now he's begging developers to "do something useful" with lying machines, or they might lose the "social permission" to boil the planet.

What, is Microslop's Slopilot services not useful enough on their own?

AI boom could falter without wider adoption, Microsoft chief Satya Nadella warns
https://www.irishtimes.com/business/2026/01/20/ai-boom-could-falter-without-wider-adoption-microsoft-chief-satya-nadella-warns/
Oh dear me are people not "adopting" lying autocomplete widely enough to keep the line going up? Oh noes. Nobody could have foreseen this! ๐คฏ
I cannot wait for the official announcement of a new #Microslop programme, Adopt-an-AI. ๐คฃ
What an absolute tool. "The bubble might burst if you all don't help pump it!" ๐คก
#AI #Hype #SatyaNadella #Microsoft
Remember, we are causing the AI boom to falter because we keep using the term "slop":

This is not very nice of us and is costing Microslop, and its slopholders and inveslops, real money.

It is absolutely wild to me that media organizations still do not put RSS/Atom
feed info front-and-center on their websites.
One needs to dive into HTML code or use external tools to discover their feeds.
It is wild because this is one of the easiest, least-effort ways to reach their audience. Encouraging RSS/Atom use is a phenomenal way of becoming less reliant on gatekeepers like huge social media platforms.
Come on! 
Microsoft renamed the whole Office suite to Copilot. ๐คฃ
Please bear in mind that calling "AI" output "slop" makes Satya Nadella sad. Under no circumstances should you call their office suite "Microslop Slopilot". That would just be mean and you're better than that.
*) Copilot might not be your favorite app.

Randomly thinking of that glorious moment in time over four years ago when @jz@mamot.fr made a poll with three options: R, G, B, and fedi collectively created a color: Fรฉdi-vert.

replace fact-checking with community notes
nurture sycophants on the platform
burn more billions on spicy autocomplete
be mad about your spicy autocomplete app not popular
lash out like a man-baby
get fact-checked in community notes on your own platform
get fact-checked by your own spicy autocomplete

Trump: Russia and Ukraine peace requires โland swappingโ
Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin will meet for peace talks in Alaska
Trump thinks he's meeting Putin in Russia
Okayโฆ what's the over-under on Trump's "land swapping" ending up with Russia getting Alaska back for Ukraine getting the Donbas and Crimea back.
