The Girl who Talked to the Gods

Frank di Mauro — Tue, 01 Oct 2024 07:04:31 +0000

“The Girl Who Talks to the Gods” is my first sci-fi script, inspired by a mix of personal experiences, real events, and stories I’ve come across. Some of it comes from true encounters, others from people’s experiences, and ideas stemming from podcasts. It’s a blend of reality and imagination that creates a unique and compelling story. In 1994, Frank, a young teacher at Zimbabwe’s Ariel School…

Frank di Mauro — Sun, 30 Apr 2023 07:28:47 +0000

Over the last 5 years in my attempt to launch HaYa as a whistleblowing platform I have spoken to many whistleblowers and realised that there is very little information on what is the best way to whistleblow to ensure that you are protected.

AI is our child, so lets be good parents

Frank di Mauro — Thu, 30 Mar 2023 05:22:37 +0000

In 2001 A Space Odyssey HAL says the line “I’m sorry, Dave. I’m afraid I can’t do that.”. For me this is the line that signifies the true sentient moment of a computer, this is the moment that the AI becomes self-preserving. Now I know most of you will think; “Oh here we go again another geek being alarmist” and I hope you are right, but being a geek I do think that we are in danger of letting…

Frank di Mauro — Fri, 24 Feb 2023 06:42:23 +0000

As the founder of the HaYa Platform (HaYaChat.com and HaYaOrg.com), the first question I get asked is “How secure is HaYa?“. This is a very difficult question to answer as the security of digital communication has so many moving parts and “people” you are trying to “secure” yourself from. With any digital communication there are three main hubs of information handling: All three “Hubs” are…
