The AI "Common Sense" Trap - Why a "Reset" Isn't Always the Answer

Image
Caution: AI is smart, but it often lacks common sense. I recently ran into a frustrating wall with Google Chrome. I wanted to add a new shortcut to my home screen, but the "Add Shortcut" button had simply vanished. Naturally, I asked the built-in AI (Gemini) for help. The AI gave me a "nuclear" solution: "Reset your Chrome settings to factory defaults." The Problem? If I had followed that advice, I would have wiped out my saved passwords, pinned tabs, and custom settings—and it would not have fixed the problem.   The Truth: Chrome has a hard limit of 10 shortcuts . Once you hit 10, the button disappears. There was nothing "broken" in my settings; the "room" was just full. The AI was smart enough to know how to reset a browser, but not "common sense" smart enough to count to ten.  Bob’s Advice: 1. Count before you Click: If a feature disappears, check if you’ve hit a limit. 2. Question "Nuclear" Advice: If an AI ...

Bob the Cyber-Guy’s Cyber Safety Tip #126

“Your Email ‘Preview Pane’ Can Trigger Attacks” You don’t have to click an email for it to cause trouble anymore. 🚨 What’s the hidden risk? Many email programs automatically preview messages as soon as you highlight them. That preview can: Load tracking pixels Confirm your email address is active Trigger malicious scripts in poorly protected systems Download hidden content from remote servers In short: Just previewing an email can tell scammers, “Yes, this inbox is alive.” ⚠️ Common assumptions that aren’t true anymore “I didn’t click anything, so I’m safe” “Previewing isn’t opening” “My email program blocks that stuff by default” Some do. Some don’t. And settings change after updates. ✅ Simple protection steps Disable automatic preview panes when possible View emails in plain text if your email app allows it Don’t preview suspicious senders — delete first Turn off automatic image loading Use spam filters aggressively (they exist for a...

AI Gets the Blame for Layoffs — But That’s Not the Whole Story

Image
🤖💼 If you’ve been hearing “AI is taking everybody’s job,” you’re not imagining the noise. Companies are using AI to do more work with fewer people. But here’s the honest truth: most layoffs are still being driven by old-school business forces—money, demand, and corporate reshuffling—with AI often showing up as the extra push (and sometimes a convenient talking point). 🧾 Let’s sort the facts from the hype. ✅ The biggest layoff drivers usually aren’t AI 📉 “We need to cut costs” (and payroll is the biggest cost) 💰 When budgets tighten, companies reach for the biggest lever first: headcount. This shows up in announcements as “cost cutting,” “efficiency,” or “reducing overhead.” Even when a company is profitable, leadership can still decide it wants higher margins or a “leaner” structure.

Watermain Break in Meadow Lake

This short, funky tune captures how small towns deal with big problems: neighbors gathering, patience wearing thin, and laughter filling the gaps while waiting for things to get fixed. If you’ve ever lived where everyone knows everyone, you’ll recognize this scene instantly. Sometimes the pipes break — but the spirit doesn’t.
