Here’s a new cartoon on AI. On AI turning against us and killing us all, I have a prediction – and it’s both good and bad. The good: I don’t think AI will decide to kill us all. The bad: We will be the ones to decide. We’ll replace ourselves with machine parts and code […]
Back by popular demand, it’s another installment of the funniest hacker stock photos.

Here’s a cartoon about the nothing-to-hide argument. One of the most common arguments of those unconcerned about government surveillance or privacy invasions is “I’ve got nothing to hide.” I wrote a book addressing this argument and other faulty arguments made in the debate about privacy versus security.
