Sometimes it’s the quiet moments that make you realize just how grateful you are.

Thank you to my amazing wife, who always has my back. Even when I’m deep in projects, ideas, work, and all the positive chaos. ;-)

I wouldn’t be able to do half of what I do without you. ❤️

💭 Between the Forest and the World of Artificial Intelligence

Sometimes it only takes a quiet moment in nature to remember what truly matters.
Stillness. Authenticity. Connection. Humanity.

As we dive deeper into the world of AI, I often wonder:
Are we slowly losing touch with ourselves?
With what makes us human?

AI can do a lot - analyze, calculate, simulate.
But it cannot feel.
It cannot pause in awe as sunlight filters through the trees.
It cannot simply be.
I believe technology should empower us, but never replace us.

Especially now, we need more space for mindfulness, real connection, and awareness.

👉 Let’s shape the digital future without losing our humanity.

💭 Digitalization, AI, and the Loss of Humanity

Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about how much our daily lives are being shaped by digitalization and artificial intelligence and I’m growing increasingly concerned about this trend.

More and more, it feels like constant use of digital tools and language models is eroding our ability to think and reflect for ourselves. Decisions, texts, opinions, so much is being outsourced these days.

At the same time, I’m noticing a coarsening of how we interact with each other. A quick look at comment sections is enough: empathy, respect, and mindfulness seem to be disappearing.

Of course, there are many causes for this, but digitalization is amplifying these tendencies. It creates speed, information overload, and superficiality - exactly where connection, time, and depth are needed most.

This makes me wonder:
👉 How can we shape the digital world so that it strengthens people - instead of replacing them?

Dagens tanker: ⚡ Strømmen går. Alt offline. Hva nå? ⚡

Ingen laptop. Ingen mobil. Ingen internett. Ingen ChatGPT.
La oss være ærlige: uten strøm er vi mennesker hjelpeløse på så mange områder.

Vi har blitt så avhengige av teknologi og konstant tilgjengelighet at vi knapt husker hvordan vi klarer oss uten.
Et strømbrudd i dag er ikke bare et «teknisk problem» - det setter hele livet på pause.

💬 Hva tenker dere? Kunne vi egentlig klart oss uten, eller stopper verden umiddelbart opp?

🔴 To fluesopper - begge er angrepet, men bare én har allerede falt 🍄

Noen ganger merker man det først for sent når noe ikke fungerer som det skal - enten det er i hverdagen eller i IT.

Hos Schmidtke IT sørger jeg for at teknologien din holder seg stabil, oppdateringer fungerer, dataene er sikre, og alt går smidig - før det «knekker».

💡 Litt som en skogstur: Den som passer på, står støtt. 😉

🌱 Humanity & Empathy in the Age of AI 🌱

Everyone talks about artificial intelligence, automation, and new technologies. But what about something that can never be replaced?
Compassion. Respect. Genuine human connection.

I’ve noticed that these topics often get overlooked – psychology, empathy, the way we treat one another. And in a world full of algorithms, they might be more important than ever.

What do you think? Do you sometimes feel that humanity and mutual respect are missing, even at work?

💬 I’m curious to hear your experiences and thoughts.

💡 Large Language Models - simply explained

Imagine an AI model that does just one thing: predicting the next word. So simple and yet so powerful.

👉 Trained on unimaginable amounts of text (a human would need 2,600 years of nonstop reading)

👉 powered by hundreds of billions of parameters

👉 fine-tuned with human feedback, it becomes an assistant that communicates fluently, helpfully, and almost human-like.

The real game-changer: Transformers + Attention, since 2017, models can process context in parallel and “understand” much better what is meant (e.g. bank = riverbank vs. financial institution).

🎥 For an even more brilliant explanation, check out the new video by 3Blue1Brown. Big kudos to him for this outstanding work! 🙌

💻 Vibe Coding & LLMs - a risky game?

Vibe Coding - the rapid generation of code using Large Language Models (LLMs) - is booming in companies… and yes, even here on LinkedIn. The idea is simple: build prototypes in seconds, experiment with features, get immediate feedback. Sounds tempting - and it is.

But here’s the catch: LLM-generated code is often error-prone, insecure, and hard to follow. Structures are improvised, security checks are skipped, and logic can quickly become unpredictable.

For pentesters, this is a goldmine. Every shortcut, every ad-hoc hack, every missing validation can turn into a serious vulnerability.

🔑 My takeaway: Vibe Coding with LLMs can drive innovation - but without strict security controls, it’s a ticking time bomb. Fast, creative - and potentially dangerous.

Everyone says: “AI will bring the decisive competitive advantage.”

But what happens when everyone uses AI?

Maybe the winners will be those who can still make coffee without asking ChatGPT. ☕🤖

🚨 Hybrid Exchange Admins – This One’s for You 🚨
Microsoft just dropped a high-severity security alert — CVE-2025-53786 (CVSS 8.0).

What’s the risk?
If you run Exchange in a hybrid setup and haven’t applied the April 2025 security changes, an attacker could gain elevated privileges in your environment.

Affected:
- Exchange 2016 CU23
- Exchange 2019 CU14 & CU15
- Exchange Server Subscription Edition

Your move:
Patch it now. Install the April 2025 Hot Fix (or newer) and apply Microsoft’s recommended config changes. Because if you don’t… someone else will.

Noen ganger trenger man bare en sekk, litt sol og en retning – resten faller på plass.

Manchmal braucht es nur einen Rucksack, ein bisschen Sonne und eine Richtung – der Rest findet sich.
