  1. You Don’t Need to Be Smart to Use AI. You Need to Be Clear

    By Cliff Potts, CSO, and Editor-in-Chief of WPS News

    Baybay City, Leyte, Philippines — May 16, 2026

    A lot of people think you need to be really smart to use AI well. You don’t. You need to be clear.

    AI works best when you tell it exactly what you want. If you are vague, you get vague answers. If you are clear, you get useful results. That’s the whole game.

    For example, asking “write something about history” will get you a mess. Asking “explain the causes of World War I in simple terms” will get you something you can actually use.

    That’s not intelligence. That’s clarity.

    This is why some people struggle with AI at first. They treat it like a magic box. They throw in a few words and hope something good comes out. When it doesn’t, they think the tool is broken.

    It’s not broken. The instructions were.

    Learning to use AI is really about learning to ask better questions. That skill helps you in school, at work, and in life. AI just makes the results show up faster.

    You don’t need to be a genius to use this tool.

    You just need to say what you mean.

  3. Ever feel like you said something clearly… but it still landed wrong?

    That gap between what you say and what people actually hear is where real communication lives.

    In my latest article, I share one of the most important lessons I teach as a Hebrew educator: why empathy and intention matter more than perfect words, grammar, or pronunciation.

    If you’ve ever struggled to express yourself or feel understood in another language, this one will shift how you see everything.

  4. 🔥🔧 "Workers who love 'synergizing paradigms' are bad at their jobs," says article. Because if you need buzzwords to sound competent, maybe it's time to synergize a dictionary with reality. 📚🌐#BuzzwordBingo

  9. 👨‍🏫🎥 Ah yes, because nothing screams "how to communicate effectively" like an hour-long YouTube video in 144p from someone who thinks PowerPoint is still a cutting-edge technology. 🙄 Pro tip: If you need a tutorial on how to listen, maybe YouTube isn't your best bet.

    🎙️ These Aren’t Soft Skills — They’re Human Skills
    A post–Infosecurity Europe 2025 conversation with Rob Black and Anthony D'Alton

    Yes, Infosecurity Europe 2025 is behind us, but the most important conversations are still unfolding — like this one.

    I (Marco Ciappelli) reconnected with Rob Black (yeah, I kicked Sean Martin, CISSP out again… temporarily 😄) and welcomed Anthony D’Alton to dive into something we all know is important but rarely define properly: so-called soft skills — or as we prefer to call them… human skills.

    From communication and trust to team resilience and real-world training, this conversation is a practical look at what truly makes cybersecurity teams work — and why these “intangibles” aren’t soft at all.
