Apparently no longer optional for their customers either, based on how hard they are pushing it in Office 365, sorry Microsoft 365, no sorry Microsoft 365 Copilot.

The latest change of dumping you into a Copilot chat immediately on login and hiding all the actually useful stuff is just desperation incarnate.

“information”

Doordash is abusing AI similarly by adding product descriptions generated by AI if there isn’t one. It includes things like ingredient lists, cooking styles, and quantitative descriptions that can all be entirely wrong. Gonna be fun when relying on the AI description causes an allergic reaction and serious injury or death.

Why waste bombs when you have perfectly good windows?

Yes but then they’ll just put another Democrat in his place. This way he has one he can force into doing his bidding holding charges above his head.

Wonder if they have betting odds on another March outbreak and lockdown.

Well, yeah. If you drain all the clean water out of the swamp you’re just left with the decaying muck of a dying ecosystem. Almost like that metaphor never actually made sense.

You’d think if Jones pulled together 3.5 million to bid indirectly through a shell company for his own bankruptcy they’d just you know… take that money and give it to his creditors then continue with the sale since it’s still not enough…

Based on Ajit Pai last time, there will be a significant rollback on consumer rights and protections. You can bet Starlink will get greenlit for anything they want though.

Seeing “the source is available here on GitHub”, “the project was forked and is now maintained as (other name)”, etc. after most of these really helps show the difference with Google. Well that and the length of the article, Google has far more deaths under their belt.

Wow Matt really looking bad on this one. This just reeks of trying to push out a major business competitor to wordpress.com and abusing control over wordpress.org to do it.

Elon smoke, don’t breathe this.

Ah, I remember this controversy when the game launched. That person later admitted to modifying the meshes to make them fit better because they hated Palworld for “glorifying animal abuse”.

Yea that’s a tough system to design for. Ideally you want sensitive stuff like that, where you don’t care what the data is just that something matches it, stored as the results of a one-way hash function.

The problem is that most of the data you’re going to want to secure is pathetically tiny. 10 digit SSN? My phone can brute force that in a few minutes if you’re doing raw hashes. Gotta salt them. But now you have a tradeoff decision, salting every one uniquely is best but now your comparison needs to do [leaked data] × [customers] checks to find matches. Same salt on all of them and as soon as one is cracked they all are.

They were talking about Kennedys so you figure there’d be a few. I was not prepared.

Not to mention that ads are a prime vector for malware and spyware (well, more spyware on top of the ad vendor itself).

I thought NPR left Twitter when Musk had them labeled as “state controlled media”

I get that it’s not the point of the article or really an argument being made but this annoys me:

We could blame United or Delta that decided to run EDR software on a machine that was supposed to display flight details at a check-in counter. Sure, it makes sense to run EDR on a mission-critical machine, but on a dumb display of information?

I mean yea that’s like running EDR on your HVAC controllers. Oh no, what’s a hacker going to do, turn off the AC? Try asking Target about that one.

You’ve got displays showing live data and I haven’t seen an army of staff running USB drives to every TV when a flight gets delayed. Those displays have at least some connection into your network, and an unlocked door doesn’t care who it lets in. Sure you can firewall off those machines to only what they need, unless your firewall has a 0-day that lets them bypass it, or the system they pull data from does. Or maybe they just hijack all the displays to show porn for a laugh, or falsified gate and time info to cause chaos for the staff.

Security works in layers because, as clearly shown in this incident, individual systems and people are fallible. “It’s not like I need to secure this” is the attitude that leads to things like our joke of an IoT ecosystem. And to why things like CrowdStrike are even made in the first place.

I hear the mafia is looking for pizza delivery drivers.
