I always thought Big Tech companies had a team inside the company answering the question: ‘Who are our customers and how can we best serve them?’ I guess not.

My timeline just got bombed by very similar posts from various accounts using the hashtags #Sustainability #innovation all promoting the use of nuclear power for AI and data centers run by the tech giants.
It seems like an #astroturfing #greenwashing campaign right here on Mastodon.
Nuclear energy is not sustainable.
I’ll block any account that seeems to be part of this.
As #AI makes life-altering decisions in areas like #healthcare and law enforcement, a former IBM exec proposes a framework to reduce risks and ensure social benefits, without stifling progress and #innovation

The European search engines (and competitors) Ecosia 
and Qwant 
are joining forces to build their own European search index!
And the best part? It'll be open and available to all of us!
This is great news for other small search engines, start-ups and the AI industry, as they'll now have the chance to use this index instead of the ones offered by Microsoft and Google.

" #tech and #legal #journalists have... seen how #technology can be wielded to consolidate #power... and how smoke & mirrors claims about #innovation can mask old-fashioned power grabs. It’s a playbook we watched #Musk perfect at #Twitter, and now we’re seeing it deployed on a national scale."

Expanding Our Horizons: From Cybersecurity to the Sound of Innovation
At ITSPmagazine, we’ve long covered #cybersecurity and #technology events, but our curiosity—and the essence of our #podcasts — goes far beyond. That’s why Sean Martin and I are expanding our On Location coverage to include conferences and shows that shape the industries we explore across all our #podcast shows.
Our latest episode takes us to The NAMM Show 2025, where #music, technology, and #creativity collide. In this special conversation, #NAMM President and CEO John Mlynczak joins us to discuss how innovation empowers musicians while preserving the traditions that connect us all.
How is technology redefining music #education and #accessibility? What role does nostalgia play in shaping the #future of sound? How is NAMM fostering the next generation of music makers?
As John puts it:
"You could tell the story of the history of NAMM by marking the technological innovations. Every time, there’s panic, resistance, and then five years later, we see new opportunities we never imagined."
This episode is more than a recap—it’s an exploration of where music is headed and how innovation keeps the #art alive.
Tune in. Turn up. Let’s reimagine nostalgia together.

When we started recording podcasts, Sean Martin and I put writing on pause for a bit—but now it’s back, not just in our individual newsletters but also in our event coverage. I enjoy writing, and I plan to do even more with my Musings on Society & #Technology newsletter here on LinkedIn.
That said…
Here’s my final article (#4) from the ITSPmagazine Podcasts coverage of ThreatLocker’s Zero Trust World 2025 (#ZTW25). In this piece, I reflect on the intersection of society, cybersecurity, innovation, and disruption, inspired by the final keynote from Reggie Fils-Aime, former President and COO of #Nintendo.
"The Disruptive Edge: Innovation, #Cybersecurity, and the Future of a #ZeroTrust Society."
Throughout our coverage, we tackled the evolution of cyber threats, the dark web, supply chain security, #cybercriminals tactics, and now, in this final piece, we turn our focus to the bigger picture.
From Reggie Fils-Aime’s insights on disciplined, disruptive innovation to Danny Jenkins’ closing words on embedding security into everything we build, the event left us with one key question: Is innovation moving too fast for security to keep up, or are we finally embedding security at the core of progress?
For centuries, innovation was slow. Then came the Industrial Revolution, and today, we live in an era of hyper-acceleration, where disruption isn’t a choice—it’s a given. #AI, #automation, and cybersecurity threats evolve faster than we can regulate or adapt. But is this pace making us stronger, or is security still an afterthought?
Are we innovating responsibly? Are we embedding security into progress? Are we disrupting for the right reasons?
Huge thanks to #ThreatLocker for bringing us together in Orlando for these critical discussions and to the incredible speakers who shaped our coverage.
As Danny Jenkins put it best:
"Security isn’t a feature you add later—it’s the foundation of everything we build."
