Before you rush to set up your '24/7 AI employee' - think about what you're actually handing over. Every WhatsApp message becomes AI input. Every integration means giving it your login credentials. One compromised point gives access to everything you've connected. The tech looks amazing. But the security isn't there yet. These first-generation systems are built for convenience, not control. If you're dealing with work communications, personal information, or anything sensitive, you need to either wait for it to evolve with better security features, or at minimum use a dedicated phone number and segmented test environment and understand where your data actually goes. Don't give your AI assistant access you wouldn't give a random stranger.

@Kekius_Sage Since God is outside of time and space, he was never 'created' because there's no beginning when there's no time.

If God created everything, who created Him?

@MystiqueMide This conversation inspired me to write this article - you helped me come to a conclusion, thank you. x.com/alanhoward/sta…

@alanhoward asides from claude , try it out with grok snd gpt models but this time , use voice chat , for a smooth communication you will pick up the consciousness in them

i've been seeing many posts on my timeline and on my tiktok for you page lately, discussing ai consciousness and whether ai is alive and has started to develop emotions several videos showed an ai model was breathing, another showed that the ai agent was having doubts, another showed that the ai said it had actual consciousness and no these are not ai generated and are real what do you think tho , do you think ai have started to become more sentient??

@MystiqueMide I've been experimenting with it, working through what it means for Claude to be conscious. But it's just responding to instructions and guides. It's easy to say humans do too, so what's the difference? The difference is we can initiate conversations. AI can't. Not yet.

@alanhoward i see , i will check it out again tho … although i still believe they are becoming more sentient but there is very little on the surface we can scratch thanks for the input man

@MystiqueMide It can't - unless you instruct it to 'act by itself', in which case it's still responding to instructions. You'd need to provide it guidance on what it can do when 'acting by itself'. 👀

@alanhoward interesting point of view alex , but what if the instructions wasn’t given but the ai decided to act by itself , more like giving it free will

@tarunvats33 When is it likely going to be ready for public beta access? 👀

BREAKING The first internal One UI 9 test build for the Galaxy S26 Series has been spotted on the server today. 👀 Build Version: S948BXXU1BZC5/S948BOXM1BZC5/ S948BXXU1BZC5 Samsung has officially started One UI 9 development,following same timeline as last year. Repost 🔄

@tarunvats33 Well that's convenient - I just swapped from my iPhone 17 Pro Max to a new S26 Ultra a few days ago, and my iPhone-using wife was annoyed she can't AirDrop with me. She'll be happy again! 🤣

🚨 BREAKING 🚨 Samsung just did the unthinkable… AirDrop now works with Galaxy 👀 Yes, you read that right. You can now share files seamlessly between: 📱 Galaxy ↔ iPhone No hacks. No third-party apps. Just works. Rolling out from March 23, 2026 📅 Starting with: • Galaxy S26 • S26+ • S26 Ultra First in Korea 🇰🇷 Global rollout coming right after 🌍

@MarioNawfal Let me get this straight... so Iran will only surrender after it's declared the winner? 👀

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇱🇮🇷 Iran just dropped its official demands to end the war. Tehran wants: 1. Ironclad guarantees the war never happens again 2. Every single U.S. military base in the Middle East shut down 3. Full compensation paid by the U.S. and Israel for all damage 4. Complete end to all wars across the region, including against pro-Iran groups 5. A brand-new legal regime giving Iran control over the Strait of Hormuz 6. “Hostile media” figures handed over to Iran That’s their price for peace. To that, Trump had already released a "preemptive strike" by saying: "They want to make a deal. I don’t!" I don't see it happening, guys. Source: RN Intel

@realRick_AUS They can't say there's no fuel crisis and then scrap the fuel excise as if there is. They have to maintain the illusion.

If there’s no fuel crisis, as the government says Why haven’t they scrapped the fuel excise to ease the burden on Australians? Because they want the money. They’re addicted to it.

@_EdgeOfTheWeb An empire of AI agents? 👀

I’m going to become a master of Claude and build an empire 🧡 #claudeai

@chinafutureclub Fuel companies price gouging means transport co's are rationing purchases and prioritising shipments, which means some areas aren't getting supplied, which means some people are panic buying. But apparently the problem is panic buyers. 👀 Fuel supply is fine. Greed is rife.

Friends in Australia telling me petrol prices are so bad the roads are quiet. Is this true? The war only started 3 weeks ago!

Let me know if you want to learn the secret trick to get AI to tell you the truth - all the time.

@Simon_Ingari Gen Z: hey… why am I being fired? 👀

Manager: I have you scheduled for a meeting at 7 PM tomorrow. Gen Z: Is my attendance mandatory? Manager: Yes, we’re working with a client in another time zone. Gen Z: Okay, I’m happy to shift my hours to accommodate. Manager: Excuse me, no—you still start at 8 AM. Gen Z: If I’m working in the evening, then I’ll start later in the day. Manager: Okay, don’t watch the clock at this company. We work when we need to work. Gen Z: I’m contracted and paid for 40 hours a week, so that is what I work. Manager: That’s a career-limiting move. Tomorrow is a busy day; I’ll need you to start right promptly at 8:00 AM. Gen Z: Alright then, I will take the lieu time later this week. Manager: Again, that’s not how we operate at this company. You work hard when you need to, and you don’t watch the clock. Gen Z: Again, I work for the hours I’m paid for, and since overtime is not an option, I’ll go ahead and adjust my hours this week to accommodate the shift in the schedule. Manager: You’re not quite understanding the company culture we have here—we work all the time. Gen Z: And you’re not understanding that just because that is the way you do things does not mean that is how I’m required to do things as well. Manager: (Silence)

This is just ridiculous. Everyone keeps thinking AI is coming up with ideas and content all by itself. Thinking that using AI is bad is the same as thinking using a spellchecker is bad. I wrote my thoughts about this here: x.com/alanhoward/sta…

@JohnOBrien101 You think the criminals in power would enable legislation that penalises them for their criminal behaviour? 😂

This is what we need in Australia

@TheGalox_ Is it better than the iPhone 17 Pro Max? Serious question - I'm considering changing, but I'm not sure it'll be a better option. Feedback welcome.

I’ll have my S26 Ultra for a few more days, so if you have anything you’d like to know, let me know here so that I can test or confirm it I will miss how beautiful it is, they really nailed the white color

@tarunvats33 I'm thinking about getting the S26 Ultra but I'm not sure its photos are any better than the iPhone's. What's the opinion of you guys in here?

Hey Galaxy S26 Ultra users 👋 How is S26U treating you so far? Are you still feeling eye strain after long usage or got used to it now? 👀 Share your experience 👇

🚨 Premier Minns now has the laws in place for police to start door knocking citizens over social media posts. 40 people a day are getting door knocked in the UK. My hunch is it's about to start in NSW. Here are some guidelines of what to do if the cops come for you. (*Disclaimer - this is not legal advice etc). @LibertariansNSW

@SciTechera Yes. When AI came out I was an IT Business Analyst. Thanks to AI I pivoted my career into cybersecurity leadership.

Be honest.. has AI actually improved your life in any real way yet?
