I’ve been making ChatGPT fight Google Gemini, and man, one of them is getting smoked.
You are going to love this. I know it. Why? Because we’ve all done it. You toss ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, Perplexity or, God forbid, Siri a simple question, and it vomits. Or you tell it, “Write an email,” and out comes a mushy blob of corporate buzzwords no real human would ever say. If you […]

It doesn’t bother me anymore, but it used to. Maybe it’s happened to you. You’re in a Zoom call, wearing pajama bottoms, and someone casually says, “Oh, my AI assistant is taking notes of everything everyone is saying.” Wait, what?! There’s a digital stenographer silently documenting every sigh, awkward pause and half-baked idea you mutter? […]

LinkedIn isn’t a graveyard, it’s a garden. Water it with useful posts and watch opportunity grow (yep, even in 2025).
Yesterday I told you all about the Dark Web. Missed it? Part 1 is here. As expected, so many of you asked me, “Why the heck would you even go on the Dark Web?” It’s my job No, really! The fine folks at the Daily Mail asked if I’d do a Dark Web deep dive […]
