passwordoops··on 'We hacked the FBI:' Hackers say they have data on all FBI employees
I think you're exaggerating a bit.

Does this answer your question?

passwordoops··on The Death of Shame Is Tearing Us Apart
Like most things in life, moderation is key
passwordoops··on NASA: Fill in a name, and you can have an exclusive coordinate in the universe
You just gotta choose the right pixel
passwordoops··on The safest job from AI may be writing
Yeah not seeing it for technical writing. Especially in industries with even a hint of regulatory compliance, the imprecision is too significant. It's not for lack of trying or wishful thinking.

Either your colleagues are facing stiffer competition off-shore (not LLM driven) or their jobs were more about organizing, checking and sorting topics and data (LLMs can take that away)

passwordoops··on Anthropic's ‘watermark’ text adulteration in Claude is a perversion of writing
You are one person. The corporation is not. Scale matters
passwordoops··on Only 8.9% of sites block AI crawlers, but 94.8% are never cited in AI answers
LLM's were obviously going be ruined by two factors:

1- LLM Crawler Optimization: the new SEO

2- Weightings-For-Pay: for a fee have your product or service come up more frequently in associated answers

passwordoops··on "the very foundation of modern academia has been blown to bits"
More like how using hand-held computers programmed for dopamine hits could further entrench a sedentary lifestyle, reduce social cohesion, and lead to individual brain rot
passwordoops··on National Security Determination Threat Posed by Foreign-Produced Robotic Devices [pdf]
Amazingly ironic that the administration most deeply in bed to the finance sector's bidding is now identifying the result of the finance sector's 50 year push to offshore everything a problem for National security
passwordoops··on Google Discloses $94.1B in SpaceX Stock, Marking 6% Stake
"The company’s marketable equity securities include $80 billion in shares subject to short-term restrictions and $14.1 billion subject to long-term restrictions"

Actually more like $14.1 and whatever value the other $80 is worth when they sell. Which is probably going to be worth well North of whatever is lost on the $14.1 B long-term... All part of the scam to inflate the value of the AI bubble

passwordoops··on Turning a pile of documents into a searchable useable knowledge base
Care to elaborate?
passwordoops··on Google details new 24-hour process to sideload unverified Android apps
Like the ones constantly advertising across Google's plethora of platforms without any repercussions or possibility of recourse with Google? For my safety, of course.
passwordoops··on A basket of new fruit varieties is coming your way
Faced with a full-length pop-up saying they care about my privacy just made me think, "if you cared about my privacy, you wouldn't track me and therefore wouldn't need ny consent for anything"
passwordoops··on Google Safe Browsing missed 84% of confirmed phishing sites
Anecdotal and loosely related, but I can say since Gemini was forced into Gmail, much more obvious SPAM passes the filter
passwordoops··on Waymo blocking ambulance during deadly Austin shooting
Depends who's observing
passwordoops··on Google Fulfilled ICE Subpoena Demanding Student Journalist Credit Card Number
How far back do you have to go for Microsoft to be seen as "good" the way Google was?
passwordoops··on New York’s budget bill would require “blocking technology” on all 3D printers
IP/BigCo lawyers are probably the main lobbyists behind this article in the bill so I would think soonish
passwordoops··on Why didn't AI “join the workforce” in 2025?
Because it's the correct take
passwordoops··on Microsoft Office renamed to “Microsoft 365 Copilot app”
Microsoft Restarting would be more fitting
passwordoops··on Microsoft Office renamed to “Microsoft 365 Copilot app”
This makes the most sense
passwordoops··on Microsoft Office renamed to “Microsoft 365 Copilot app”
If there was no merger/takeover and you need to add "formerly" to the brand name, you should keep the original branding
passwordoops··on Windows 11 adds AI agent that runs in background with access to personal folders
Because at some point it won't be opt in
passwordoops··on Direct File won't happen in 2026, IRS tells states
Most bribes are
passwordoops··on OpenAI, Nvidia fuel $1T AI market with web of circular deals
You can't discount the impact this will have on global stock markets and what that may do to both individuals and, more importantly, pension funds, as a large swath of people are retiring
passwordoops··on RTO: WTAF
You're partially correct in RTO being about control. Sunk costs in real estate and local tax benefits pay a significant role.

But if every company decided "you know what? Let's go remote!", it will be a matter of months, if not weeks, before every CFO/CEO/Board decides to boost profits by tapping the global talent pool.

The recent delusions to replace software engineers with LLMs is a pretty good indication of where the thinking is vis-a-vis capable engineering

passwordoops··on Google will allow only apps from verified developers to be installed on Android
"A recent analysis by the company found that there are “over 50 times more malware from internet-sideloaded sources than on apps available through Google Play.”

Ok, but what's the real damage? In other words, how many installs and how much money siphoned from users and legit apps?

passwordoops··on Lina Khan points to Figma IPO as vindication of M&A scrutiny
I think that's what the comment meant. Take it metaphorically
passwordoops··on A major AI training data set contains millions of examples of personal data
Criminal liability with a minimum 2 years served for executives and fines amounting to 110% of total global revenue to the company that allowed the breach would see cybersecurity taken a lot more seriously in a hurry
passwordoops··on Big agriculture mislead the public about the benefits of biofuels
The other issue is people seeing corn for ethanol (especially subsidized) can be waaaay more profitable and deciding to switch crops. Not only do you lose a potentially valuable food crop. But it's replaced by one of the nutrient and GHG intensive crops around
passwordoops··on Big agriculture mislead the public about the benefits of biofuels
"Biofuels in use, keep atmospheric carbon neutral."

No they do not. The accounting generally doesn't take into account the full emissions of agriculture, which for corn is particularly carbon intense. Not to mention the downstream pollution impacts of over fertilization, such as coastal dead zones
