I think you significantly overstate the gravity of their announcement. You can entirely bot the process of finding a flight to suit and handing you a link; open it, pay with stored credit card, and you'll still be entirely within what they explicitly allow.

In practice they don't necessarily have much incentive to do anything about bookings they have some sloppy-implementation reason to suspect are fully botted(in their ideal world comparison searching would presumably be harder; but cat is obviously out of the bag on that one an concealing that almost all of the work was automated will be relatively simple so there's a high false positive risk); but since you were specifically directed to not do that they are better placed to deal with cases where someone's openclaw fiasco buys them a nonsense route and they want to try to make it the airline's problem.

Alleged professionals checking secrets into github and shipping them in retail binaries is at least as old as 'devops' being a thing people say with a straight face; and standards in 'AI' and for amateurs are even lower than in software development generally. There's some diversity in terms of the ignorant vs. the negligent; but in practice egregious mishandling of secrets is to be expected.

And if people were generally smart, they would not need to even state that. But people are not and some idiots will sue United for things they essentially did to themselves. So this ban.

Map of agricultural production changes in the nuclear winter following a minor nuclear exchange, posted for no particular reason.

(For a full-scale exchange...)

Also, for no particular reason, a map of Russia's population distribution, alongside a reminder of Russia's nuclear missile failure rate, particularly booster failures. And that nuclear warheads have been commonly lost disturbingly often even during peacetime, with at least seven weapons from four incidents lost in flight landing in a way that left them fully intact and easily reparable, just from the US alone. And that Ukraine is rich in nuclear engineers, including still some retirees who worked in the Soviet nuclear weapons programme.

There's also this myth that "if you just use a nuclear weapon, you automatically win the war". Nuclear weapons are immensely effective terror weapons, but their effectiveness on the front is a lot weaker than most people think. People on frontlines tend to be in trenches, bunkers, basements, armoured vehicles, etc, and can be surprisingly close to a tactical nuclear blast while still surviving. They're effective against hard points but struggle against a broad, diffuse front (aka, today's front, which is a sparsely populated, deep, amorphous zone, thanks to drones). Amortizing Russia's estimated budget for tactical nuclear weapons comes up with ~$15-25M per weapon (not counting the delivery system), so they're hardly a dime a dozen either.

IF, via terror bombing or threats of terror bombing, you can convince your enemy to surrender, then congratulations, you have won (enjoy your nuclear waste heap and restive population who wants nothing more than to kill you). If they do not, however, their only goal remaining will be to focus 100% on using their extensive nuclear waste supplies rich in plutonium, their extensive long-range strike weapon supplies, and their extensive metallurgical experience, to render your major cities to ash in the same way that you did theirs.

(I also just assume herein that Ukraine doesn't actually have a secret nuclear weapons programme already, which is certainly an assumption).

I look forward to the unplanned broadcast of Swan Lake.

Is anyone else surprised that the DoJ ended up asking; rather than Satya just giving Dear Leader the access as part of a lobbying effort?

I don't think linkedin has, or has ever claimed to offer, any sort of protection of user data against administrator access, and the broligarchy has been nothing but eagerly cooperative.

I played the first GTA once a bit and GTA Chinatown on the PSP. The latter I remember being fun. The others I never really got. Watchdogs and the later FarCry installments are more my thing.

I only play Nintendo remakes from 1996, you insensitive clod!

They will not tell you? If you are in the EU, you can try a GDPR data request. That one has 30 days to comply and real teeth. Employee names in there are already enough to make that request.

Yes, keep telling yourself that. Good luck, you are going to need it.

Dang every time I see him it reminds me how much I hate that president.

The "Magic battery!" crap is getting reeeeeeaaalllly old. As are the idiots that fall for it.

Yes. Sad as that is, this is very likely the only viable way forward.

While it is deeply troubling that the only capable leadership in this question seems to come from China, this is the best chance for human civilization to survive. The West has proven itself to be not capable enough (Europe) or completely incapable (the US). And time is running out fast.

Yes, this will give China power and influence it should not have. But there seem to be no alternatives left.

Funny, you are just describing your own failure here. No, you cannot put effective security guardrails into an LLM. Its statistical properties make that impossible. Sure, you can make lower-impact problems less likely, but attackers are not users that get told to put glue on pizza in some rare cases. Attackers go for the rare cases and statistics is no defense.

But I see you are one of the completely brainwashed cultists anyways. And you have no clue how IT security actually works.
