I used to contribute regularly to Wikipedia

Same here, and it sorta why I posted the original post. I used to write mostly stuff to do with technology. I will never forget when I spent hours back in 2008 adding information to the EMC Clariion page only to have the entire thing reversed because I didn't ask permission in the talk page first. 2008 was the last time I ever edited Wikipedia.

ELI5: Why does Wikipedia care so much about notability?

I get the privacy angle. Nobody wants a random Wikipedia page about their neighbor. But once someone is recognized as a public figure in any capacity, what’s the harm? More available information seems like a net positive in most cases.

But Claude has to ask permission, has to be granted permission, and I can remove that permission with a mouse click.

That said, I find it incredible what it's able to do with those tabs, and equally horrifying.

I've more than once asked it to demonstrate how to do a function in something like Canva or other web apps and it quickly shows me the ropes. I've asked it to search online databases on my behalf and watch it find answers in seconds that would have taken me 20-30 minutes.

But... now I wonder if it's opening my browser while I sleep and participating in the T800 designs.

You can't possibly have that many *real* vulnerabilities internally if you're doing basic security work regularly

You seem quite naive about the complexity of software (and hardware for that matter) stacks at companies of this size. You're also naive about the amount of legacy software (and hardware) that these companies must maintain.

1000 contractors. Let that sink in for a minute my friend. That's 2.08 million hours of labor annually. How big do you think an ecosystem would be that would need that many hours of CONTRACT (ie extra) labor???
