One thing I (and probably a whole lot of other people) have been thinking about lately is how quickly AI is changing the value of trust online. We’re moving into a world where proving what’s real, and who’s real, is quickly becoming one of the most important things on the internet. Ironically, as AI and associated technologies get smarter, trust becomes more human and much less artificial.

@SirBylHolte Great show, great episode.

🚨 NOUVELLE ARNAQUE TÉLÉPHONIQUE : ILS VOLENT VOTRE VOIX AVEC L’IA (TF1) !

😱❗Vous recevez un appel… et personne ne parle au bout du fil.

💥C’est volontaire.

Le but : enregistrer votre voix pendant ces quelques secondes de silence pour la cloner avec l’IA.

En moins de 10 minutes, ils obtiennent une copie presque parfaite de votre voix.

Puis ils appellent vos proches en se faisant passer pour vous :

« Maman, j’ai perdu mon téléphone… envoie-moi de l’argent d’urgence. »

C’est déjà en cours en France.

Règle d’or :

Si un numéro inconnu sonne et que personne ne parle → raccrochez immédiatement.

Ne dites rien. Ne rappelez jamais.

Knock Knock... who's there?
Phisher... yeah sorry, you're not allowed in.

Happy #WorldPasskeyDay

[Ronnie Manning @RCManning]

It's World Passkey Day. Go out and tell a Service or App that doesn't support passkeys yet to come join the party!

[BBC Breakfast @BBCBreakfast]

People have been urged to start ditching passwords in favour of passkeys, where available, as a way to secure their accounts online.

On #BBCBreakfast Peter Ruddick explained why the National Cyber Security Centre is asking users to make the change

It all began with the scissors for me.

Just last week, I had a catch up conversation with my good friend and writer David Strom. During that chat, he asked me if I think #passkeys are going to succeed? My short answer was “Yes” and we’re already watching it happen in real time.

That said, I do think that we’re still early, but much further along than we were a couple of years ago. Adoption is accelerating, but the broader understanding is still playing catch up. Most consumer type users may go and see a new #passkey login prompt, then they then have to make a choice – trust and hope it works, or ignore it because they don’t know what it is.

David himself mentioned that one confusing area he sees is where they are actually physically stored. If you have a passkey on your laptop, for example, then when you use your phone you need to be sure to save one there as well. A lack of clarity of where they can be stored adds more confusion that is unnecessarily injected into the login process. But user experience will only continue to improve.

As with any new technology, there will be gaps to address, but in general account and identity security is something that more people are seeing the need for and are turning on.

It’s kind of like bluetooth when it first came to market. Initially, pairing devices felt clunky and confusing, I tended to avoid it unless I really had to. Then the experience improved and the value became obvious. Now it just works and I don’t even think twice about it.

It’s very cool to think that we are actively in the time where we are seeing the dependency of passwords starting to disappear. The opportunity now is to continue to close the education gap, remove weak fallback methods and build trust in the user experience.

The “boring” stuff wins ballgames:

-Backing up the play
-Putting the ball in play
-Moving the runner
-Making the routine plays
-Consistent communication
-Throwing strikes
-Smart baserunning
-Taking your walks
-Getting HBP, holding your ground
-Hitting a cutoff man
-Hustling out everything

*At some point, the “boring” tasks of ⚾️ will win extra games! And more often than not, playoff berths, seedings, playoff wins, and even championships can be determined and decided by what many would call “boring.”
Turn the “boring” into the “important” and that’s how you win!

How to master public speaking:

1. Never start with "um, so basically"
2. Pause more than you think you need to silence is powerful
3. Make eye contact with one person at a time, not the whole room
4. Open with a story, not an introduction
5. Know your first three sentences by heart, the rest will follow
6. Slow down when you're making your most important point
7. Use your hands stillness reads as nervousness
8. Don't apologise before you begin
9. Record yourself once and watch it back without flinching
10. Dress slightly better than the room expects
11. End before they want you to
