Back Up Everything. Even if Elon Musk Isn’t Looking at It.

The New York Times  [unpaywalled] – “In recent weeks, Elon Musk and his aides have gained access to many federal agencies’ systems and unknown amounts of data. Many readers have written in to share their fears that the agencies — and the personal data they possess on hundreds of millions of taxpayers — are now vulnerable. When people tinker with vital systems, things can go wrong. New vulnerabilities can emerge that thieves could exploit, or existing tax or loan payments could disappear. And one wrong move can bring a whole website down for days or longer. The level of risk isn’t clear, and in uncertain situations, it’s tempting to do something to feel that you’re protecting yourself. That instinct is perfectly rational. But don’t just download your history of paying into Social Security or freeze access to your credit files because of the politics of now. Back up everything important, everywhere you can. Do this at least once a year or so. It’s just good hygiene. Having multiple copies of all of the things that help you run your life brings a certain kind of peace that lacks a perfect word in English, but it’s the quality or state of being well sorted. Here’s a guide for what to do.”

Surveillance is easy…

The Myth of Jurisdictional Privacy

Understanding Global Surveillance

In discussions of online privacy, you’ll often hear passionate debates about jurisdiction, with particular focus on avoiding the “Five Eyes” intelligence alliance countries (USA, UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand). The argument goes that by choosing a service provider outside these nations, you can somehow escape their surveillance reach.

But let’s pause and think about that for a moment. In a world where digital information flows freely across borders, where undersea cables connect continents, and where global tech infrastructure is deeply interconnected, does it really make sense to think that physical jurisdiction offers meaningful protection from surveillance?

Perspective. (Interesting metric)

Knowledge management takes center stage in the AI journey

According to the Ark Invest Big Ideas 2025 report, agents will increase enterprise productivity via software. Companies that deploy agents should be able to increase unit volume with the same workforce and optimize their workforce toward higher-value activities.

Artificial intelligence (AI) will also supercharge knowledge work. Through 2030, Ark expects the amount of software deployed per knowledge worker to grow considerably as businesses invest in productivity solutions. AI agents are poised to accelerate the adoption of digital applications and create an epochal shift in human-computer interaction.
