The Slop Problem Isn’t What You ThinkThere's a bloke on Twitter who spent three hours writing a passionate thread about AI ruining the internet. There was quite the debate, and someone asked if he'd ever used Grammarly. That's the whole story, really. People call AI content "slop" with contempt reserved for microwaving fish at the office. But there's plenty of human slop too. The "I hired a homeless person and now they're my CEO" posts.http://javvadmalik.com/2026/04/30/the-slop-problem-isnt-what-you-think/

We've gone from "verify the human" to "verify the human, the machines acting for them, the AI acting for the machines, and the deepfakes pretending to be all of the above." Identity management just got infinitely more interesting.https://blog.knowbe4.com/identity-at-the-edge-how-the-sixth-annual-identity-management-day-highlights-the-new-frontiers-of-trust

@sawaba Bluetooth is the only tech where we have given up on five 9s uptime and will settle for 5 8's

We trust AI to be rational. We trust it to cooperate. Then we're shocked when it behaves like a toddler with a keyboard. Maybe the real problem is we're projecting competence onto something that's just very good at pattern matching.https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2026/04/human-trust-of-ai-agents.html

I'm seeking recommendations for good blogs to read / add to my RSS feed. Like personal blogs, not necessarily corporate ones. Don't even need to be related to security or IT... just stuff like how it used to be back in the day when people would write random stuff down and hit publish. Thank you in advance
