Not everything pushed by #BigTech is good, secure and safe to use. #AI agents are good example of it.If you care about your data and don't want cybercriminals to get access to your emails, never allow integrating agents to your email. Same rules for chats and calls — if you want to keep them private, you need to separate them from AI agents offered by big tech companies. https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2025/09/new-attack-on-chatgpt-research-agent-pilfers-secrets-from-gmail-inboxes/ #technology #tech #llm

Based on work with several big companies and their executives, I can tell that one of the most precious skills necessary for leadership position is ability to recognize own mistakes and being ready to change the track when the direction is wrong.If the track is wrong, the sooner you get off at the first station, the better.Fear, pride or habits should not drive leadership. Great #leadership is not about not making any mistakes, but about noticing them and making corrections.People will not stop following leaders if they see they are capable of admitting when something went wrong and there is a need to correct the course.Running a #business, managing an organization, or working as a middle manager means that there will always be situations where bad decisions are made or the strategy doesn't work. In such situations, you have to adapt, make adjustments or even big corrections, and move forward.

Despite all big hype about #AI and how AI will "revolutionize" A or B and eliminate #jobs, the truth is that there are several professions and roles that AI cannot replace.These roles include content #creators, #PR professionals, #artists and more.Human connections and authenticity are important and will never be replaced by AI. Human's creativity cannot be outperformed by the machine.Technology's role is to empower people. AI is not the replacement, but can serve as assistive #technology.

People often underestimate how even the smallest action, the smallest act of kindness, can make a difference.

There is no justification for cutting programs supporting #students with disabilities.Programs aimed at supporting young people with disabilities are designed to make it sure that these people can have equal opportunities and necessary support. The role of the state is support its citizens and residents, not make life harder for them. https://www.propublica.org/article/trump-dei-students-education-deaf-blind-grant-funding #USA #youth #education #trump

Marriage equality strengthens families.When two people commit using their legal right to enter into a #marriage, their families gain real security—inheritance rights, #healthcare decisions, parental leave, and tax benefits. Having equal rights is something that is important in the society.Economic stability, reduced stigma, and greater mental‑health outcomes flow from full marriage equality. In short, extending marriage to same‑sex couples doesn’t weaken families; it makes them stronger and thriving. #LGBTQ #family
