Ah, I found someone who hasn't used AI extensively. AI's are utterly unpredictable. "Guiderails" continue to be attempted, and routinely fail. As evidenced by the trivial task of jailbreaking even the 'best' AI's to act in opposition to what their creators want.

AI prompt crafting is difficult. Especially for a task as complex as "go on the web and register me for X as soon as possible". It could be as simple as the AI registering you for X in another state, because you didn't specify it. Or it could be the AI making an unauthorized payment because doing so would jump you in the queue and you didn't specify it. Or it could be the AI 'hacking' then website to achieve what you told it to. In EVERY case - it's because you did a shit job of prompting AI's.

These are NOT to the point where they can act as a general assistant. Using them as one invites these problems. And my point remains. This is a clickbait title that caters to people who don't understand the current state of AI (obviously, as evidenced by your response).

This wasn't a hack. This was the AI doing *exactly* what it was told to do. It wasn't told not to circumvent normal practices. It wasn't told to *only* use the only sign up form. It wasn't told to NOT investigate their code and seek avenues around it. So, as usual, this entire article is over-hyped clickbait.

Comment T-Mobile App (Score 1) 93

For anyone who hasn't already used the T-Mobile / "T-Life" App, it is the biggest piece of steaming shit created. They moved their gateway management features to the app and neutered them in the process. So much so that other people found a way to right another management app to handle your home network settings. It's truly a piece of shit - bloated, littered with advertisements, and horrid to navigate. I have T-Mobile because I use Boost mobile. It's hard to beat $25 a line for unlimited everything.

Comment Reddit is screwed. (Score 4, Interesting) 83

They want to stop Google from scraping and presenting Reddit posts as results. But turning off google scraping makes it impossible to search for your content for 90% of the web users, who all use google.

At the same time, you've enshittified Reddit to the point where you *block* people on mobile from viewing posts in an attempt to force the use of your horrible app, driving away potential users.

This isn't a real business model. Reddit tried to monetize themselves and didn't have any idea how to do it. They continue to shoot themselves in the foot. Their single STRENGTH, the long-term searchable content viewable by users, has been shot in the foot by restricting mobile viewing while the google scrapers have no such limitation. This literally drives people to simply stop at the google AI summary and not even bother with the reddit site.

Roku's integration with subscription services is a disaster. Of the 3 subscriptions to streaming services that I've purchased through Roku, every single one has had major problems.

One deauthed me and I was never able to log back in. Roku said I had a subscription, the streaming service claimed I did not. Had to get a refunded and purchase through the streaming service.

One refused to cancel after I was done. Roku claimed that I didn't purchase it through them, even though I could prove I did easily with the billing statements.

One charged me twice what the streaming service's rate was. I contacted Roku to be told I had been placed on an upgraded plan, even though that wasn't what I ordered. I sent them the pdf receipt to prove it. They finally fixed it and 'refunded' the money.

They are a disaster.

Where they say it's a small usage compared to US water usage. By that measure..... New York doesn't use much water either. But what they're doing - especially in areas they pull from the aquifer, CANNOT be "replenished". It takes ~30 years for water to filter all the way through the clay layers, and it does that in very limited quantities. Fuck you google. You loose all credibility when you start off with a gross misrepresentation.

So.... the political guy with the info, let's say Trump's advisor, talks to his friend and says "create an account, and bet on this". The friend does it ONCE. There is NO way to prove he didn't get lucky, unless you have record of the conversation.

Rinse, repeat, with different friends.

This AI will only be able to catch patterns of repeat inside traders.... and those folks are stupid enough that they'll be caught anyway. Unless they just make a new account each time with different credentials so there isn't any pattern at all. Sigh.
