Can technology prove if goods being sold on Vinted are stolen? The sale of looted goods on online resale platforms has highlighted concerns about security and authentication on such sites, writes @StephenTreacy1 @CUBSucc @UCC rte.ie/brainstorm/2026/1022/…

Nobody in Munster will ever forget how good Racing 92 were to us in 2016. Could have easily had a walkover and refused. A proper club.

Un bloguero mostró que las entrevistas laborales en 2026 ya se realizan sin personas. La empresa envió a la videollamada a un reclutador de IA, el bloguero respondió conectando a su agente de IA y salió del encuadre. Las redes neuronales siguieron discutiendo la vacante durante un rato más sin humanos. Al final, ambas se colgaron y comenzaron a despedirse infinitamente la una de la otra. Distópico.

Video from a comedic experiment by blogger Graham Dot Zip, in which he creates a scenario himself with AI agents to demonstrate it, and does not show a real job interview from a company. youtube.com/watch?v=A0fECn… aistify.com/ai-job-intervi… theregister.com/offbeat/2026/1…

Everyone wants safe AI, but who will be first to take action on this? AI has become a race where all involved can see the risks, but nobody wants to be the first to apply the brakes and pay a price for doing so, writes @StephenTreacy1 @CUBSucc @UCC rte.ie/brainstorm/2026/0914/…

Former Anthropic employee Jacob Coxon says the AI industry is "gambling with our lives." He tells Anderson what he finds "most scary is if AI is used to make itself more intelligent" and warns these companies are "compelled to race toward building a deadly technology."

I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.

Tony Scott’s Enemy of the State was so far a head of its time. A film that speaks to the surveillance state we all find ourselves in & the constant state in which we’re always watched, this movie was relevant 25 years ago, let alone right now. I still haven’t really accepted that Scott & Gene Hackman are neither with us anymore. When I rewatch this movie, as far as I’m concerned, they’re still here. This film was lightening in a bottle.

Why schools and universities are major targets for cybercriminals. The rapid digitisation of education systems is creating data-intensive environments which are hugely attractive to cybercriminals, explains @StephenTreacy1 @CUBSucc @UCC rte.ie/brainstorm/2026/0901/…

I'm sorry we never got a chance to meet, but getting this note from Dolly really had a an impact on me. She definitely didn't have to take the time to do it. Even for a kid who mostly listened to rap music, she was an icon. A superstar in every sense. Rest easy Dolly. And thank you for the kind words.

Growing up is understanding that in Titanic, Rose decides to throw away a $250 million pendant in memory of an unemployed man who she had sex with one time. Meanwhile, her husband worked hard all his life to maintain her and give her and her children a life of luxury, who would surely have also appreciated the inheritance and lived peacefully. She could of also given the pendant to her Granddaughter who took care of her, her whole life. The real villain of the movie gentlemen, no doubt it was Rose.

Robert Shaw was a force of nature. I’m not even sure actors like this still exist anymore. Shaw left us at just 51 but still made incredible films like The Taking of Pelham One Two Three, Jaws, The Sting & A Man for All Seasons. Shaw had personal demons (who the Hell doesn’t?) but that didn’t stop him from constantly putting on a good performance. God, this guy could act.
