New phishing scam just dropped. Maybe others have seen this but I've never experienced anything quite like this before. Crazy how some people will fall for it but I can see why it would scare a lot of people into complying and giving away everything. Posting here for awareness. They don't even have to hire or enslave human scammers anymore. Spread the word! Everything is a scam until further notice!

No matter what any engineer or CEO says, AI is not ready to do absolutely everything, and it could be argued that we don't necessarily want it to. On top of needing to have the conversation of *what* systems we want automated and which we would like to keep human for the sake of humanity, there need to be major upgrades to hardware before it can compare to humanity without throwing absurd levels of power and compute at the problem.

In a surprisingly low-key move, content creator PewDiePie has established one of the most advanced personal AI laboratories seen to date, running entirely from his own home setup. This project moves far beyond typical consumer AI use, focusing on deep, cutting-edge development.

His lab is currently running enormous language models, including the massive LLaMA-70B and an impressive 240-billion-parameter system, all hosted locally. He is layering complex tools for memory, search functions, and voice capabilities on top of these models to create a fully interactive, highly advanced personal assistant.

PewDiePie is now developing a fine-tuned, self-hostable model intended for public use, demonstrating the incredible potential of private AI development. His work proves that groundbreaking technological achievements do not require access to Big Tech's massive server farms, but rather rely on curiosity and persistence.

Oh, funny thing about that...

You can accuse Microsoft of many things, but not of lacking in innovation. Now they're using AI to break Windows more efficiently than they broke it before.

🟦 Windows 10 Support Ends Today — Here’s What You Can Do 🟦
Today marks the official end of support for Windows 10. But don’t panic — your computer won’t stop working overnight. You’ve basically got three main options:

1️⃣ Stick with Windows 10
You can keep using it for a while. Most browsers, antivirus, and apps will still support it for months or even years. Just know Microsoft isn’t patching security holes anymore, so the longer you stay, the higher the risk. Keep it locked down and consider limiting internet use if possible.

2️⃣ Switch to Linux 🐧
If you’ve got older hardware or want something free and secure, Linux is a great alternative. Beginner-friendly options like Linux Mint or Ubuntu look and feel similar to Windows, and cover everyday tasks like browsing, email, media, and documents. You can even test it from a USB stick before installing.

3️⃣ Migrate to Windows 11 🪟
If your PC is supported, upgrading is the simplest path forward — just use Windows Update. If it’s not supported, there are unofficial workarounds, but updates aren’t guaranteed and you’ll be on your own for support. Backup first if you go this route.

👉 Bottom line: You don’t have to rush, but you do need a plan. What’s your move?
