Who would have guessed that the technology stack itself (in this case #AI #ML) would carry risk? #MLsec is very real as many of us have known for years.

After years of dealing with Google's increasing ads and privacy concerns, I discovered Kagi — a premium search engine that puts users first with no tracking, no ads, and genuinely better results. It's transformed my daily workflow by offering personalized search control, AI-powered tools, and complete privacy protection that makes the subscription fee worth every penny.

Do I know anyone who has worked in (and can talk about it) anything to do with "killer robots":

autonomous weapons
AI targeting / FoF discrimination
protocols / human-in-the-loop
drone coordination / swarms

We started work on an article about the state of AI weaponry a while back. A word or two from someone who knows what they are talking about would be awesome. How worried should we be?

~~ TALK ~~

This Friday, 19 September, 11:30 am, I will be giving a talk on

Egyptology & AI

The talk will be at Vetenskapens Hus in Luleå, Sweden. But it will also be streamed on Youtube. And it will remain on Youtube, in case you want to watch it afterwards.

I will give some impressions on ancient Egypt, will explain what AI actually is - and how we can apply AI and machine learning to historical documents in Egypt and closely related cases.

If you are interested, feel free to join. More details at:

They say "ChatControl is not a backdoor: it doesn't break E2E encryption, because it's client-side scanning". Let me explain you what this actually means.

Client-side scanning is like asking to an alcoholic schizo with a history of corruption, who only speaks Russian, and that you have to feed and host at your place at your own expense, to check your private letters before you're allowed to put them in an envelope.
