Norway can’t buy OpenAI since it’s not GDPR compliant.

They lost badly to X a few years back, only to show incredible maturity and grace by quitting the platform afterward .. would love to see how they do against Meta

Startup guy in cybersecurity here. If u plan to start a company/business/whatever, LinkedIn is actually awesome.

Connected with the CTO of a $1B Israeli company over LinkedIn and was on a plane to Telaviv a week later. They ended up acquiring my co.

My second startup partnered with the worlds largest ed tech co in cybersecurity (with their head of learning dev) off the back of a cold our reach on LinkedIn ..

If u learn to not be super fragile and bothered by all the cringe content .. it’s basically ur personal M&A firm. Gives u tremendous leverage for partnering, sales, intros without needing some fancy old boys network.. or startup incubator bs

Correct. They are quite a sensitive demographic when it comes to human contact.

Exactly. How dare anyone contact him without first submitting a formal application for permission to exist in his inbox. Wait .. how dare I assume their gender .. wait, am I even allowed to comment ?

The “main character” syndrome is strong here .. thing is, most people wouldn’t even be the main character in a movie about their own lives .. also if this helps catch criminals/terrorists/thieves .. what’s the actual harm to an innocent passenger ..

ps: great initiative by LU

Nah .. you lost the argument and now ur demanding I defend your framing for you ..

always remember .. you own the state .. the state doesn't owe you anything .. its first duty is to protect the country .. at whatever cost is necessary .. China does this overtly (hence it can strong arm anything it needs to strong arm out of its markets) .. Democracies do it through institutions, laws, and policy .. which aparently ur salty about ...

PS: America is in the strongest position it's ever been, and your ideological discomfort doesn't change that mmoaner ;)

Im sat in Hydepark writing this as I smoke a Cuban cigar .. so excuse the typos .. but in an egalitarian society ur age doesnt entitle you to a greater vote .. Aldo what happens is that political attitudes change with age … so like at 25 you typically have fewer dependants .. fewer responsibilities and less skin in the game but as u get older you may have kids .. mortgage .. a career and much more to protect .. (sorry to give such dad vibes but u get the point ) .. so naturally as u age it makes u less enamoured with utopian promises and be more conscious of consequences .. like immigration .. healthcare .. inequality etc etc

This is also why ur weight votes by years left to live logic is flawed .. democracy is basically one person .. one vote .. not one vote weighted by how many years you have left to live .. it wouldent be fair I I ask u to start weighing votes by how much taxes you pay, dependants u supporter or years worked .. would it ?

PS: I do work

i see. so according to you (and the polsters) i guess its fair to conclude that a significant majority either wanted to remain in the EU or came to feel that way after brexit ... to further play along .. nigel farage .. an outsider to the political system (lets call him political white hat hacker) .. was able to exploit vulnerabilities in this system and the public opinion to get brexit over the line ..

I'm curious to understand why those vulnerabilities existed in the first place .. and why weren’t they patched? also once you get hacked, its a sobering experience and u invest more in fixing the root cause .. so net net .. even with your narrative, brexit has been amazing for Great Britain (the best country in the world imho)

This is bad. I run a company in this space (deepfake voice phishing), and one of the most common pushbacks we hear from buyers is: “Where are attackers going to get audio clips of our employees?” ... excluding senior leadership, which most companies already recognize as a risk.

Another similar incident that happened recently was 4TB/40,000 contractors voice + government ID + selfie leaked .. https://oravys.com/blog/mercor-breach-2026

PS: To demonstrate how this can be exploited with real time voice changers i.e. a voice phishing simulator .. we also built a free tool that shows this attack combined with someones voice ..

https://www.callstrike.ai/voice-phishing-simulator (Voice Phishing Simulator)

https://www.callstrike.ai/deepfake-security-training (Deepfake Video Simulator)

It’s obviously a heavily restricted PoC, but it helps demonstrate the attack path in practice.

Wrong. I’m a 40 something ethnic minority guy and I voted to leave. Back then I was in my 30s. Whats true is that remainers were more vocal and loud about their message, whilst the silent majority did what silent majorities do .. quietly won, they always do.

By widely you mean the guardian readership ? Or some left leaning poll ? What’s your source ?

Interesting. Do you think they are using something like Deel/Stripe to handle a lot of this ? i mean to figure out the "paying ppl around the world" complexity ... also local payment methods .. currencies .. compliance .. tax docs etc ?
