I haven't listed to this podcast yet, but the title caught my eye b/c over the years I have had clients who wanted to do fairly complicated bookkeeping using just spreadsheets - and I designed them a template for that, with a shrug. Sure, why not?
Never imagined I'd be thinking about switching to it myself. But here we are.

Trust in media is at an all-time low. Now, AI is becoming the excuse why "good enough" should be the new standard for reporting. How about we return to solid journalism instead of chasing a new low?

There’s a big difference between collecting data and truly seeing it.
In this On Location episode of Chats on the Road to RSA Conference, Marco Ciappelli and Sean Martin, CISSP are joined by Steve Wilson to talk about what AI is actually doing for cybersecurity teams—and where the real value lies. From misunderstood visibility gaps to the myth of LLMs handling petabytes of data, this conversation unpacks the hype and gets into what works.
We also explore how organizations can use AI to strengthen—not sideline—human learning and decision-making.
Tune in to hear where the real edge lies in smart automation, clear visibility, and human/machine collaboration. Everything you need is here.

Stop using AI for genocide in our region. You have blood on your hands. All of Microsoft has blood on its hands. How dare you all celebrate when Microsoft is killing children. Shame on you all.’”

RE: "Microsoft employee disrupts 50th anniversary and calls AI boss ‘war profiteer’"
It takes a lot of courage to stand up against wrong. Kudos Ibtihal Aboussad! AI should not be used for warfare.

I had to type in "No, make me look slimmer and healthier"
Forget taking my job, Ai is taking my soul
A bold protest shakes Microsoft’s 50th anniversary! Employee Ibtihal Aboussad confronted leadership over AI used in military operations, proclaiming, "You have blood on your hands."
