AI Bot Passes Business School Exam #1645
January 24, 2023
An AI Bot has passed a business school exam where the professor said he would have given the bot a B or B- on the full exam but that some of the answers were A+ worthy. We are headed towards exciting times which could forever change humanity. The number of AI-type pitches I am getting is at least 1-2 a week.

The AI Bot Contest Conclusion #1644
January 20, 2023
The contest concludes. I reveal in the show which of the two posts referenced in the last episode was created by the AI bot. The results are going to surprise you. The two referenced AI services in the show were Jasper.AI and Contents.com, of which I reveal that Contents.com is currently the superior product of the two I have tested. If any other company would like to participate in a future AI contest, feel free to let me know.

The AI Bot Contest #1643
January 17, 2023
I have posted two articles on Geek News Central. One is a CES 2023 Wrapup, and the other is an announcement for Quicklinks, a new product released by my company today. One of the articles was written by an AI and edited by me for about 15 minutes, and the other was written by me. Can you tell which one is which? Send an email to geeknews@gmail.com with your guess, and I will award a prize randomly to the group that gets it correct.

1st Show of 2023 #1642
January 13, 2023
I am back from CES 2023, and the 35 hours of live coverage we did is in the can and being processed into specific episodes. The show was back to pre-pandemic attendance by companies, and it felt like a normal CES. So far, I have escaped getting the crud from the show and back with a full schedule with my company. Lots of great tech news today and back to a normal publishing schedule.

Twitter Blue, Gold & Grey? #1640
December 12, 2022
Twitter Blue for individuals, Gold for businesses, and Grey for government officials, but you will have to pay $8.00 monthly to get it. The blue checkmark was a thing when it was super selective and odd who would get it and who would not. But if you spent years validating people, I wonder how you feel when they will delete all those verified checkmarks.

Apple Advances User Security #1639

Apple Advances User Security in a big way with announcements today about beefing up encryption across many facets of iCloud storage. The FBI of course is not happy about this as they do not have a backdoor to access those encrypted files. At this point, the more security, the better.

December 06, 2022

Everything today is about messaging and controlling the narrative. Why can’t the narrative be the narrative? We will see if Musk can find where the rest of the dead bodies are buried.

Hive App Shuts down Servers for Security Issues #1637
December 02, 2022
German-based Hive App shut down servers for security issues because it reportedly leaked user data like crazy. Instead of patching it on the fly, they shut the service down and left users hanging because it was full of holes, security researchers reported. While it may have become a Twitter proxy the platform has a ways to go with the hive team announcing the shutdown ironically on Twitter.

Is Apple Helping the Chinese Government #1636
November 29, 2022
Has Apple helped suppress the Chinese people and, in turn, helped the Chinese Government in recent crackdowns? By limiting certain functions of the Apple phone. One has to begin to wonder if they only like controlled speech when there are rumors that they may remove support for Twitter on the iPhone. One may start to question the value of the iOS ecosphere when one starts to hear this combined with the actions in China.

FTX’s 16 Billion Dollar Ponzi Scheme #1633
November 15, 2022
Based on preliminary reports, many people should be imprisoned for a very long time over the FTX’s apparent Ponzi scheme, which allegedly lost 16 billion dollars in investors’ crypto investments. The financials are enough to make those that have read them go insane. Of course, with a lot of the companies offshore, we will see how much actual prosecution can actually be done.

Starlink just ruined the service with data caps! #1631
November 08, 2022
Starlink just ruined their service with Data Caps. Rural users once again get screwed! Saved from Broadband hell and now to be throttled after 1TB of monthly usage. Very pissed off that 1TB for a Family is insulting. Elon try living in rural America, where there are few options. Plus, the insane price of paying 25 cents per GB for overage if you do not want to be throttled. Just cheaper to buy a second dish. Not a happy camper. That is the worst news of the year.

Elon Musk & Twitter’s New Era! #1629
October 31, 2022
A new era has begun at Twitter, with Elon Musk taking control, delisting the company from the stock exchange, and at the very same time, letting the board of directors go. He very quickly started to make changes and brought in an army of engineers and friends that he trusted to figure out what is happening in the company. Employees are running scared, and he has set some immediate agendas and goals. We will see what happens as he fully works to bring the company into profitability.

Experian, according to KrebsonSecurity, has an unacceptable security risk for nearly every person’s credit monitoring that could be easily solved with MFA and some changes in how new accounts are created.

What is Sovereign Data? #1602
May 24, 2022
So what is sovereign data? It is the attempt by a growing list of countries that want to keep the data flow of their citizens within the boundaries of their own countries. While this will be expensive to implement I can understand why countries are doing it as the Internet has been the wild west for collecting individuals’ privacy information and selling it.
