🧠 In this post:
• Asimov tried to build a moral foundation for machine behavior
• Hinton protested when real AI ignored it
• AI is already being weaponized—through subtasks, not superintelligence
• We need systems-level ethics now, not later

🧠 New post up: The Zeroth Law and the Weaponization of Intelligence

Asimov imagined ethics for artificial intelligence before it ever existed.

Geoffrey Hinton resigned when we ignored those ethics entirely.

This post explores:
• What the Zeroth Law really meant
• How today’s AI is already being militarized
• Why Hinton’s warning still matters
• What kind of values future intelligence should inherit

⚠️ This isn’t sci-fi anymore. It’s here.
And if we don’t aim AI with purpose, it’ll serve power by default.

If you find it thought-provoking, I’d love for you to share it—or pass it along to someone thinking about the future of AI.

We’re building powerful AI w/o a moral compass—Asimov & Hinton warned us what could happen. Zeroth Law may be fiction—the threat is real.

🔐 New post up: Why 2FA is one of the simplest, most powerful upgrades you can make to your online security.

Even strong passwords can be compromised. Two-factor authentication (2FA) adds a critical second layer of protection—and it’s easier than most people think.

This post covers:
• What 2FA is and how it works
• The most common (and most secure) types of 2FA
• Where to enable it first for maximum protection
• How 2FA supports a stronger, more resilient tech culture

🧠 It’s not just about protecting yourself—it’s about helping others stay safe too. When fewer people are vulnerable, everyone wins.

🔐 New post up: Why you need a password manager—and why I trust Bitwarden.

We all juggle dozens (or hundreds) of accounts these days. And let’s be honest—most people still reuse passwords or store them in risky ways.

This post breaks down:
• Why strong, unique passwords matter
• What a password manager actually does
• Why I chose Bitwarden (spoiler: it's open-source, secure, and free)

I’m not selling anything. I just want more people to take their digital hygiene seriously—especially folks doing important work in AI, tech, or infrastructure. When your accounts are secure, your mind is free to focus on real progress.

I've launched a new site to share my work and thinking on the future of artificial intelligence.

This isn’t a tech blog full of buzzwords. It’s about building systems that matter—systems that are secure, clear, and aligned with real human values.

I’ll also be publishing my research and personal projects here—especially around AI, cognition, and secure infrastructure.

And here’s my personal commitment:
🛡️ No bloat. No ads. No tracking junk.
Just thoughtful content—built for speed, privacy, and long-term trust.

I'd be honored if you'd read the intro post and follow along:
