Good morning everyone,
When: 7pm Thursday Feb 2nd 2023
Where: https://meet.jit.si/oclug_2023-02-02_Wiz2MQTT_and_other_topics
This month we have an introduction to Dmitriy's new open source project
Wiz2MQTT, which he offered to talk about at very short notice, so thank you!
I keep meaning to ask for volunteers to give talks, short or long, but
usually remember a week before a meeting, so now I'm putting out a
request for future meetings. If you have a presentation or demo you'd be
comfortable sharing with the club, or a discussion topic you wish
introduce, then please let us know.
In addition to Dmitriy's presentation, if time allows, I have a couple
of discussion topics, which I've not prepared enough for a talk.
Topics to mull over, and I look forward to others knowing more about
than I do!
_*Privacy, Secrecy, Security, and Accessibility*_
- Privacy - initiated by a couple of emails about this club's privacy rules.
- Privacy vs Secrecy - something we do, but don't talk about, vs
something we don't want people to know we do.
- Privacy vs Security - moral intent vs technical competence
- Security vs Accessibility - PGP on your phone, medical records on the
internet.
_*ChatGPT*_
If ChatGPT can pass exams for MBAs (says more about MBAs or ChatGPT?),
then what are the implications for /publicly available knowledge/ based
work sectors?
- Lawyers, where arcane inflexible wording is required.
- Open Source software, if you can just ask "Hey ChatGPT, write me
closed source code to replace libsomething".
- Family doctors, where symptoms lead to tests, which lead to
diagnosis, which lead to treatment options.
Until Thursday
