  • Depends, on what you’re trying to protect. EMV transactions are far more secure and don’t actually transmit any bank info, they’re just one time transaction hashes generated cryptographically that are only valid for a short time.

    You’re more likely to come across a skimmer at a gas station that’s reads you card details of the mag stripe, or having your card leaked in a data breach.

    The only time I’ve seen RFID really being attacked is red teams tricking employees to clone security badges outside office buildings. So I guess put your security badge in an RFID sleeve around your neck lol


  • I’ve always considered sciences like psychology to be more susceptible to the reproducibility crisis. It seems if someone decides to pursue a career in academia the criteria becomes publishing, and well publish or perish as is goes.

    I think some researchers areocing towards things like prerigistering hypothesis and open data+publishing source code for calculations and using that as references in there paper so it can be updated afterwards.

    They’re have definitely been a lot of papers where results were later determined to be wrong but is still referenced because well you can’t update a paper from the 1970s.

    This is hearsay from friends I’ve never done any serious research or published in journals. As a side note I do enjoy reading taking a scroll through https://retractionwatch.com/


  • Just to like the radio, television, internet, etc…AI slip is here to stay, it might die down, but the cats out of the bag. I would take the same steps you would regular parental controls for tv/phone/internet if you’re concerned.

    Secondly and more importantly you should be teaching your kids critical thinking skills and not to believe everything they see or hear…just like that old quote

    “Believe half of what you see and nothing of what you hear.”

    The reason I say that is regardless of what you think of AI, it’s good enough now to where you can grab a few minutes sound bite of someone from Facebook or YouTube and be able to imitate there voice.

    This generation is going to have to be much more viligant not just about spam emails, but audio and video calls imitaing a manger or a significant other…it’s going to be very interesting
