  • Not every AI tool is right for everyone. Be discerning and thoughtful in your choices.

    Current state of AI: I shared a post for a friend who's looking for a new role. Two different "people" wrote the exact same comment on that post plugging the exact same "ai" tool for job searching. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't want a tool that was not very discriminating helping me with my search. I deleted the comments (dang it!) before I realized it would be fun for people to identify the tool. However, I am confident it will show up again by one, or two, more "people". 😏

  • As a business we don't usually do this sort of thing but it's fun and educational: Where did you grow up: STOP Favorite Color: GIVING First Pet's Name: EVERYONE Street you grew up on: YOUR Favorite See Animal: PERSONAL Favorite Sport: INFORMATION High School Mascot: TO Favorite Food: HACK Make & Model of 1st Car: YOUR Social Security Number: ACCOUNTS

  • Responsible AI and your IT Leadership: Aside from having pristine 100% accurate data, flawless training models, and a cost effective platform... are you doing all you can for your own company to ensure success? You need to remember that this is technology and it needs to be treated as such with proper governance, risk management, lifecycle management, and more. It's a good read and a must have download if you are thinking about LLM/ML/AI or have already leapt in head first.

  • Great company with solid leadership. If you want to make a difference, Green Imaging is the place to be.

  • Recent Breaches: AT&T, Apple, Dell, Microsoft, Bank of America, and the list goes on. The full story on these breaches don't come out for six to sometimes 12 months or more. You can no longer trust even your longest lasting or major relationships to protect your information. Are you being selective with what you share? What is an appropriate level of sharing, even with Microsoft? Maybe you know what to do but don't have the time? Check us out. Your CIO is waiting to help you.

  • With the onslaught of AI and the rush to be the Defacto AI Platform, are we all really paying attention? Interesting verbiage from Microsoft with their "Recall" feature in the Copilot+PCs product (See Image). Are your users using this feature and storing company information on BYOD, or WFH equipment? Everyone is pumping personal and company information into ML and GenAI platforms, but what are your assurances that your information is protected? Apparently, you may have agreed to let Microsoft, or others, off the hook. AI is the new wild west. Proceed with caution and feel free to ask us any questions that you may have the subject. We have tools and processes that can help your business avoid some of these pitfalls.

  • Here is another wake up call for you. If you are not actively working on preventing being hacked, you will be hacked. Getting "hacked" will cost you more than money. An ounce of prevention is worth 2KT of cure. Let us help you with that ounce (or maybe two) and you might be surprised what you can get without blowing your budget or continuing to unreasonably expose your assets.

    Ok, well since no action seems to be taking place even though Russian #hackers overtly attacked an American town's water control system. Here is how easy it is to find this stuff. I did this query this am with a freaking python script. Found 5k plus available connections that responded to a query with the words "water control" in the query. I went a bit further down the rabbit hole and found an admin control panel exposed to the internet for one of those systems, and bingo do the right query again and the control system reports on the tank control and capacity. It took me (a total dummy) less than 3 minutes to do this and I didn't break any laws or even "hack in". I just "asked" the systems to respond if they were misconfigured. What's it gonna take? Look at the list of municipalities there that are ready to get hit, and that's only a few out of over 5k... #notillegal #dontarrestme #dobetter #thisiswhatfailurelookslike #cyberattack
