Social media connection requests are not always real
Meet Cassandra. She sent you a social media connection request. Here's some background on Cassandra. Single mom. Receptionist for a federal government agency's Los Angeles office.

Would you accept a social media connection request from Cassandra? She looks decent and honest, right?
Fake profile
Think twice. She is fake. I visited https://www.thispersondoesnotexist.com/ and chose three pictures for my book. I wrote the profiles from scratch. https://www.thispersondoesnotexist.com/ uses a generative adversarial network, defined at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generative_adversarial_network to create pictures. Wikipedia tells us “a GAN trained on photographs can generate new photographs that look at least superficially authentic to ... Read More
How to save money on your domain renewals
Here's a smart way to save money. Yesterday, Domain Listings sent me a letter asking me to renew an Internet domain. This domain is truly one of mine and I need to keep this domain alive. An Internet domain is your address on the Internet. CNN.com is CNN’s Internet domain, Amazon.com is Amazon’s and eBay.com is eBay’s. I have several. This list includes HowHacksHappen.com, CyberSafetyNet.net and CameronParkComputer.com. All are mine. I am writing about this letter because Domain Listings' renewal price is ridiculously high.

Despite the challenges posed by artificial intelligence, intellectual property (IP) rights continue to play a crucial role in fostering innovation and protecting creative works. In case you've already read, https://cybersafetynet.net/does-intellectual-property-still-exist-with-artificial-intelligence-generating-content-no/, fasten your seat belt. I am making the opposite argument here.
Human creativity remains central
While AI can generate content, human creativity and ingenuity are still at the core of innovation. Humans design, develop, and refine AI systems, making critical decisions about their architecture, training data, and application. The creative process often involves human-AI collaboration, where AI serves as a tool to augment human capabilities rather than replace them entirely. Therefore, traditional intellectual property protections remain relevant ... Read More
