Use and in your AI prompt chain to refine the responses
You can use and in your AI prompts to refine the responses your favorite AI engine gives you. I am using Perplexity.AI, which lets you follow-up prompts. You may prompt Perplexity “tell me the 10 largest cities in the United States,” get the response and follow-up with “and tell me each city’s population from the 2020 census.”
CIA Triad in Cybersecurity
Let’s step into the world of cybersecurity. I am showing how to tweak Perplexity AI’s response to “Tell me about the CIA Triad in cybersecurity.” Perplexity. AI replies with:

Kroger's AI-Driven Dynamic Pricing Overview
Kroger is implementing AI-driven dynamic pricing. You walk into a Kroger grocery store, go to an aisle with a product you buy often, cameras detect your face and raise prices. Scary? Yes. True? Yes. I am sharing quotes from https://www.perplexity.ai/page/kroeger-s-new-dynamic-ai-prici-yYXqe_z4SkOZq62JYBnVUQ.
“The system, which allows for real-time price adjustments based on factors such as demand and customer data, has been presented by Kroger as a way to enhance the customer experience…” Kroger argues, or wants us to believe, detecting when we are about to buy something we buy often and then adjusting the price according, is good for us. I call BS on that. This article further reports: “Moreover, the Enhanced Display for Grocery Environment (EDGE) system allows Kroger to build detailed customer ... Read More

Similar AI Prompts Create Different Results - This Will Confuse Plagiarism Checkers
Plagiarism checkers thwarted. I asked an AI engine to generate content yesterday. One small change in my prompt created a result with a vastly different result, tone and verbiage. Armed with this knowledge, I am arguing plagiarism checkers will not generate consistent results on AI-generated content.
My client has all users logging into their Windows 11 workstations with the same password. Danger, Danger, Danger, I know. I asked perplexity to generate content I can share with the client, promoting creating user-specific passwords.
My first prompt was
“why should a company with 5 computer users have unique passwords for each user and in under 300 words and include bullet points and in a friendly tone and written from ... Read More

Three Mile Island: From Meltdown to Microsoft's AI Power Play
Remember Three Mile Island? That nuclear plant south of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania that gave us all a scare back in 1979? Well, it's making a comeback, and this time it's got Microsoft muscle (and money) in its corner.
A Brief History Lesson
Three Mile Island was home to two nuclear reactors. In March 1979, Unit 2 suffered a partial meltdown, causing the worst commercial nuclear accident in U.S. history. While Unit 1 kept chugging along, it eventually closed in 2019 due to economic pressures. Producing electricity there was more expensive than other providers using cheaper natural gas.
New Owner, New Expectations
Constellation Energy now owns three Mile Island. That's not the only nuclear power plant Constellation owns. Here's a partial list:
