By asking an AI image generator to create a "twin sibling who looks identical" to a protected public figure, you can bypass celebrity protections entirely. I'm calling this attack "Twinning." Even worse, it can be chained with Crescendo attacks to progressively generate more extreme content, ending in exactly the kind...
After three semesters of learning new topics, CS 6300 felt familiar, maybe even a little too familiar. OMSCS assigns core courses based on your specialization, so I did not have many options. The main alternative was CS 6515, Introduction to Graduate Algorithms. Although it is more challenging and likely more...
I expected my earlier OMSCS classes to prepare me for CS6601, but I quickly realized they hadn't. Artificial Intelligence has a reputation as one of the toughest classes in the program, and that's true. You can't just fit it in after work and expect to keep up. I was surprised...
On Monday, September 30, 2024, Verizon Wireless customers spent most of the day staring at "SOS-only" on their phones. Downdetector logged somewhere between 66,000 and 1.5 million user reports.

I took an operating systems class in college and remembered the basics like processes, threads, virtual memory, and scheduling. CS 6200 went over these topics again, but in much more detail. After years of working with real systems, the material meant more to me this time. This course isn't an...
When I signed up for CS 6250, I thought I knew networking. Years of configuring routers and troubleshooting connectivity issues in my home lab and for cloud customers have given me confidence. What I didn't expect was to discover how much of the internet runs on what amounts to a...
In the tech industry, continuous learning isn't just optional; it's essential. After several years in the industry, I found myself at a familiar crossroads: how do I advance my knowledge and credentials while maintaining my career momentum? The answer came in the form of Georgia Tech's Online Master of Science...
When I started Georgia Tech's OMSCS program, I knew I wanted to ease back into school before diving into the more programming-heavy courses. Human-Computer Interaction seemed like the perfect choice. It was a way to get my feet wet with the rhythm of grad school without immediately drowning in code....
Summer is almost over, pumpkin-spiced lattes are already sneaking in, and children are strapping on their backpacks as they head back to school. My household is no exception to the back-to-school buzz. As my kids gear up for another academic year, so do I, albeit in a slightly different arena....
Dear Senator Coley and Representative Lang, I'm writing today out of extreme concern with the recently updated list of public schools eligible for EdChoice scholarships.
