  • Can AI Really Outsmart Humans Or Is It All Just Hype? (2025/654)
    Dec 18 2025

    Are you worried that artificial intelligence is about to take over the world and replace your job? Before you panic about the robot uprising, you might want to see what happens when you ask AI to play chess against itself.


    In this episode, Charly covers:


    ✅ Why purpose-built chess computers like Deep Blue and AlphaZero mastered chess decades ago, yet large language models struggle with basic rules

    📌 How ChatGPT moved a pawn backwards, which breaks the fundamental rules of chess and demonstrates AI's pattern-matching limitations

    🛡️ The hilarious moment Google Bard hallucinated a chess piece into existence and confidently claimed checkmate with a knight that never existed

    ✅ Why AI is brilliant for drafts, summaries, content generation and repetitive tasks, but should never be trusted to make decisions or reason through problems

    📌 How Charly uses AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude to save hours every week on social media posts, whilst still quality assuring every output

    🛡️ The practical approach to AI adoption that focuses on genuine productivity gains rather than believing the hype about world domination

    Dec 14 2025

    Small businesses face cyber security challenges that extend far beyond installing antivirus software.

    ✅ The four key questions to determine if a tech issue is genuinely urgent and important versus merely annoying

    📌 How to distinguish between completely blocked clients and those who are simply inconvenienced

    🔗 Creating an emergency contact list with critical access information before the holidays begin

    🛡️ Security issues that require immediate attention regardless of the date

  • Why Does Browser Privacy Matter With Age Verification? (2025/649)
    Dec 8 2025

    Managing browser privacy has become increasingly important as age verification systems and digital identity frameworks are being developed in Australia. Many people don't realise how much data their browser shares by default, and with verified identity systems on the horizon, what was once anonymous tracking could become directly tied to your real identity. Understanding browser privacy settings and exploring privacy-focused alternatives gives you more control over your data collection footprint.


    In this episode, Charly covers:


    ✅ What data your browser shares by default and how tracking works across websites

    📌 Why browser privacy matters more when verified identity systems are being implemented

    🔗 How Brave Browser reduces tracking and what makes it different from Chrome, Edge, and Safari

    🛡️ The tradeoffs you'll face with privacy-focused browsers and when mainstream browsers might be necessary

    📌 How GDPR affects tracking and what Australian users need to know

    ✅ Practical steps for switching to a privacy-focused browser and syncing across devices
