I've always found the code golf / demo scene so impressive. This visualization from Frank Force below fits in a 256 byte standalone HTML file and produces a whole world and feeling

A couple of days ago, LockBit had published an entry on their leaksite titled "telekom.com". I asked the Telekom press corps and they denied any incident.

Yesterday, LB also published the data allegedy from Telekom. I had a look at the files. So far, it seems that nothing in the 1.2GByte directory on their file share has anything to do with Deutsche Telekom. It seems that in fact, they breached a client PC owned by a non-profit in Hamburg.

An extremely bogus DMCA threat from cops against a shop selling a 'FUCK THE LAPD' shirt has helped the company's entire store sell out of almost everything they make. "Streisand effect in effect."

For those who aren’t aware, Microsoft have decided to bake essentially an infostealer into base Windows OS and enable by default.

From the Microsoft FAQ: “Note that Recall does not perform content moderation. It will not hide information such as passwords or financial account numbers."

Info is stored locally - but rather than something like Redline stealing your local browser password vault, now they can just steal the last 3 months of everything you’ve typed and viewed in one database.

@ThibaultDu @Powareverb @gerowen @GossiTheDog I don’t work on the project but I find the NPU tech and the open SDKs behind it (and onyx runtime) interesting. My opinion is it should be not just opt-in but something you download explicitly and install if you want it. Similar to RescueTime and TimeSnapper and AugmenD and other apps that have done this stuff for years (using OCR). This should be as secure as your browser history, encrypted at rest, non roaming, etc.

Most AI chatbots are cold and clinical. OpenAI's new voice mode for ChatGPT is warm and flirty. That could have big, unpredictable consequences https://www.platformer.news/openai-gpt-4o-chatgpt-voice-vision/

Jack Dorsey is furious that has attracted "very very common" people. He also doesn't like the idea of moderation tools facilitating the banning of racists.

All these tech billionaires are like a version of the movie Big, in which a pre-adolescent boy wakes up in the body of an aging Howard Hughes. Or Colonel Kurtz. Or a sardine.

I can confidently diagnose as sociopaths.

Promised therapy customers privacy...then gave their mental health info to advertisers.

Victims get less than ten bucks each.

Company made billion+ in revenue last year alone.

In a just society with good privacy laws, they'd face existential civil & criminal consequences.

Everything about Durov's statement is so profoundly dishonest that I feel like engaging in a point-by-point debunking is a waste of time. If most of the messages on your platform are not end-to-end encrypted AT ALL, it is less private and secure than platforms whose messages are all e2e by default.

New: OpenAI—a company that has indiscriminately scraped vast amounts of human knowledge to build a company valued at roughly $80 billion—has made a copyright complaint against the ChatGPT subreddit because it used OpenAI’s logo.

This is your regular reminder that most communications on Telegram are not end-to-end encrypted. Channels and groups are never end-to-end encrypted and 1-on-1 messages are only end-to-end when explicitly enabled.

Stack Overflow announced that they are partnering with OpenAI, so I tried to delete my highest-rated answers.

Stack Overflow does not let you delete questions that have accepted answers and many upvotes because it would remove knowledge from the community.

So instead I changed my highest-rated answers to a protest message.

Within an hour mods had changed the questions back and suspended my account for 7 days.

Diff view of a stack overflow question showing it being changed from the original text to a protest message, then being changed back again by a mod. Protest text reads: Why does OpenAI get to profit from our work? I have removed this question in protest of Stack Overflow's decision to partner with OpenAI. This move steals the labour of everyone who contributed to Stack Overflow with no way to opt-out. OpenAI has a history of flooding the web with inaccurate information and have explicitly stated that they will never pay creators for their work.

Either Google Cloud has done something next-level horrifying, or this superannuation company is being highly misleading about their own mistake.

Hey Fortinet users: After Fortinet dunked on D-Link this week, attackers decided to toss a ton of creds at their internet-facing kit. The hack is apparently on. Better forti-fori-fori-forti-secure your kit.
