    Bluesky has a toggle to prevent your posts from going viral.

    With the option enabled, only your followers will see your posts in Bluesky’s Discover feed. Other apps running the decentralized AT Protocol may still include your content in their feeds, however.

    You can find the feature by navigating to your settings menu, selecting “Privacy and Security,” and turning on “Ask apps to hide my posts from algorithmic recommendations.”

    OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google say companies need to combat AI cyberattacks with AI.

    An open letter signed by over 100 companies and organizations calls for a “global surge in cyber defense,” saying “AI-enabled cyber attacks will become far more widespread and sophisticated:”

    Put cyber-capable AI in the hands of defenders, starting with the teams protecting essential services. Fix the most dangerous weaknesses, verify the fixes, and share what works so others can build on it. Together, we can turn today’s AI advances into lasting improvements in security that benefit everyone.

    We have reached out to Google and Apple to see if they’re going to swap Lake Ontario to Lake America in their Maps apps — as they did with the Gulf of America last year.
