OpenAI released a new AI service called “company knowledge” that collects and analyzes all information within an organization. Why does this sound familiar? Because malware does the same thing for nefarious purposes. The story comes from Computer World and is entitled, “OpenAI’s Company Knowledge Wants Access To All Of Your Internal Data.” A major problem is that OpenAI is a still a relatively young company and organizations are reluctant to share all of their data with it.

This essay is the work of a dumb dinobaby. No smart software required. Informed discourse, factual reports, and the type of rhetoric loved by Miss Spurling in 1959 can have a positive effect.

The vendor whose name escapes me explained that his firm’s technology could monitor employee actions, flag suspicious behaviors, and virtually eliminate insider threats.

OpenAI promised to create technology that would benefit humanity, much like Google and other Big tech companies. We know how that has gone. Much to the worry of its team, OpenAI released a TikTok-like app powered by AI. What could go wrong?

This essay is the work of a dumb dinobaby. No smart software required. AI fear. Are you afraid to resist the push to make smart software a part of your life.

Will the athlete win trophies or drop from heart failure in the middle of an event?

For firms that have invested heavily in AI only to be met with disappointment, three tech executives offer some quality spin.

One factor about cryptocurrency mining (and AI) that is glossed over by news outlets is the amount of energy required to keep the servers running. In short, it’s a lot! The Cool Down reports how one Middle Eastern country is dealing with a cryptocurrency crisis: “Stunning Report Reveals Government-Linked Crypto Crisis: 'Serious And Unimaginable’”.

This essay is the work of a dumb dinobaby. No smart software required. I read a write up last week. Today is October 27, 2025, and this dinobaby has a tough time keeping AI comments, analyses, and proclamations straight. The old fashioned idea of putting a date on each article or post is just not GenAI. As a dinobaby, I find this streamlining like Google dumping apostrophes from its mobile keyboard ill advised.

The write up contains an allegedly true comment made by the outstanding professionals at OpenAI. “Sam Altman Says If Jobs Gets Wiped Out, Maybe They Weren’t Even “Real Work” to Start With” includes this statement but before I present it, I must remind you that the “new” Yahoo News is not the world champion of quickly resolving links.

China is a dystopian nightmare with its social credit system. Westerners believe they can breathe a sigh of relief because that doesn’t happen in their home countries. Oh, how wrong they are.
