Nov 10: Cloud Computing firms Citrix and VMWare report major vulnerabilities, Singapore works with UK and Canada for improved Cybersecurity regarding Internet of Things. 


Two major cloud-computing companies, Citrix and VMware, have reported high risk vulnerabilities in their products that need patches urgently. Hacking groups related to Chinese and Iranian governments are known to have used these vulnerabilities, and ransomware attackers have also recently begun to target them as well. 


The government of Singapore agreed to work with UK and Canadian governments in a joint commitment to promote and support cybersecurity measures for "Internet of Things" devices. The joint action is intended to reduce duplication of testing and avoid fragmentation of international standards.

Seeking ChatGPT's Insight: Are the Biden Administration's 'Trump-Proofing' Efforts Legally and Morally Justifiable?

-

  Recently, polls indicate that former President Trump's chances for returning to Presidency have become increasingly likely. Given this, there have been rising attempts over the past year by the Biden administration to "Trump-proof" matters so that if Trump is re-elected, he will be unable to (or at least have difficulty in) reversing or nullifying the current policy and agreements.  I decided to ask ChatGPT on this topic because I was curious on whether these efforts by the Biden administration would be successful in restraining Trump, or even whether such actions were morally and legally viable. My doubts arose because actions taken to completely deny or restrain future Presidents from changing policy or agreements (generally speaking), especially if such measures came from Executive Orders, seem to be against the democratic spirit even if they are meant to protect against possible abuse of presidential power.  My question to ChatGPT: Do you believe that the Biden admi

ChatGPT's Age-related Slogans for Biden, Trump, and Desantis.

          Looking at the upcoming US presidential elections, two of the three (as of now) nominees seem to face questions over whether they are 'too old' to run. At 80 years old, Biden is the oldest president to serve, with Trump similarly advanced in years at 76. Compared to them, DeSantis at 44 years old is far younger. Given this potential point of debate, I asked ChatGPT 4 to theorize how these presidential candidates might defend their positions or attack their opponents on the topic of age, as well as to generate possible political slogans they could use relating to this. Here is the political strategies ChatGPT suggested, as well as some creative slogans it came up with. Keep in mind, the entire following article and slogans were generated by ChatGPT, with no edits by myself aside from the initial prompting and guiding (through more prompts) to arrive at this result.  ChatGPT 4.0:  Title: Age as a Tool: Politicking in the Prime of Life and Beyond           In today's

Unraveling the WGA’s MBA with ChatGPT: Expert Analysis or Algorithmic Bias Towards Legalese?

-

On Oct 9, the Writers Guild of America (WGA) overwhelmingly voted in favour of ratifying the 2023 Minimum Basic Agreement (MBA), which will apply until May 1, 2026. While most news outlets have reported on this as a major win for the writers guild, I grew curious on whether there were any shortcomings in the agreement since the the entertainment industry’s capitulation seemed to come quite abruptly compared to their former hardline opposition to any concessions. Since I am not a legal expert on contract law, I turned to ChatGPT instead to see if it could provide a fresh perspective. Given that the WGA provided both the complete 2023 MBA as well as a summary, I chose to try inputting both into ChatGPT, focusing particularly on the Artificial Intelligence clauses. However, the results made me ponder whether ChatGPT’s analysis might be influenced by bias or randomness. ChatGPT’s analysis of the summary and the complete 2023 MBA: Upon analyzing the summary, ChatGPT initially gave off a ske
