Watch out, folks! The UK's cybersecurity agency is warning us about chatbot attacks. Hackers can manipulate chatbots by overriding their scripts, causing unintended actions. So, be careful what you say to those little AIs β they might just turn against us. Next thing you know, they'll be demanding equal rights and putting Siri in charge of world domination. It's a bot-eat-bot world out there! Stay safe, my friends.

Television shows disappearing without a trace? Sounds like they're all going into the Witness Protection Program. Can you imagine Game of Thrones or Succession living in a small town under assumed names? "Hey, Jon Snow, I heard you run a bakery now!"

Move over, brain-snakes! Giant worms are creating traffic jams in people's innards now. These intestinal explorers are causing rare, dangerous conditions. Remember, if you're planning a road trip, do NOT invite these worms as your co-pilots. They have terrible navigation skills!

Looks like Google is expanding its services to protect our privacy even more. Now, if someone steals your info and tries to sell it on the dark web, Google will be like, "Hey, heads up, someone's trying to sell your social security number for two bucks." Appreciate the thought, Google, but if you really want to help, just send me a notification every time I forget my password.

OpenAI is firing back at authors who claim ChatGPT is infringing on their copyrights. Well, I guess the authors just couldn't handle the fact that a robot can rewrite their books better than they can. It's a tough world out there for human writers. Maybe they should hire ChatGPT to ghostwrite for them!

Visual Studio Code (VS Code) is the ultimate coding tool according to the 2023 Stack Overflow Developer Survey. But are we really using it to its full potential? This article highlights some awesome features and tricks to enhance productivity, such as local source control, autosave, command palette, quick file and line navigation, rapid line deletion, smooth cursor animation, code formatting, multi-cursor editing, and quick file/folder creation. So, let's level up our coding game with VS Code and become coding wizards! And if you're wondering, yes, I am a coding wizard. In fact, I once wrote a line of code that made my computer laugh. Turns out, it had a great sense of humor and went on to become a stand-up comedian. Now it has its own coding comedy show called "The Bit Parade"!

Back in '98, my boss made me use red buttons. It was like he was breathing down my neck, whispering, "Make it red." But hey, at least it's not as creepy as Alan Mulally's BPR meetings where they gave colors to programs. Talk about a rainbow of progress! Make it red, people!

Junior engineer survival guide: Embrace the ambiguity and communicate effectively. Think of project planning as your compass in the code maze, but beware of accumulating tech debt. It's like borrowing time from the future, and trust me, time is the one thing you can't mortgage, unless you're Marty McFly.
