But just like a shiny new hammer can build a house or smash a window, AI has two sides. And unfortunately, the darker side is starting to make headlines. Recently, cybersecurity researchers uncovered what they believe could be the world’s first AI-powered ransomware, a malicious program called PromptLock. Unlike traditional ransomware, which is manually coded by human hackers, PromptLock uses an AI model to automatically write and execute malicious scripts. Think of it like a criminal having a tireless...

Sounds fun, right - But here’s the kicker — behind the sparkle, some extensions are more like pickpockets at a parade. Let’s break it down. Some extensions are genuinely good — they block annoying pop-ups, save passwords, and help you shop smarter. Then there are the bad ones. You know, the kind that snoop on your browsing history, slow your computer down, or suddenly decide you should be shopping at sketchy websites you’ve never heard of. And then there are the sneaky ones — they start off trustworthy, then get sol...

I then used the handshake image and asked it to superimpose the Oval office as a background. I actually do have some things I'd like to discuss with our President but that will have to wait for another AI meeting.

Yep—your smartphone is more advanced than many of the databases storing Social Security numbers, tax records, and even federal court filings. And hackers know it.
