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.

Perfectly described - much kudos.

We still don't even see leaks of the unredacted Epstein's Files and that's the most egregious material possible to be illegally concealing.

Not like in the 70's when a Mathematics professor orchestrated the raid on an FBI office.

> people are still using the 'we had no backups' as an excuse?

Why pay someone with considerable practical experience when a kid out of an Associate's Program "knows computers"?

Survival of the Fittest, perhaps.

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.

They could have set the QoS tag to the lowest level for capped welfare accounts but it sounds like they just wanted to be dicks about it.

Had they behaved decently it's unlikely NY would have taken notice. Maybe other providers will take notice?

I dunno, patronize a better company if you can find one. Higher prices will likely nudge customers to switch even if they don't know the cause.

Welllll, I didn't say it was Waymo that killed taxi service in San Francisco. No, that would be Uber and Lyft.

However, a lot of people -- particularly women, for reasons -- increasingly prefer Waymo.

This guy, along with Al Gore and Hazel O'Leary led the effort to kill the Integral Fast Reactor which was operational by 1991 which simultaneously solved the nuclear waste and energy generation problems.

From what I can tell getting this going was the only thing GHWB did right.

It's said Gore did it to pay off Greenpeace, Kerry did it for the Lincoln Labs tokamak project, and O'Leary did it for Big Oil (like Ford killing Project Liberty). Later Gore parlayed this betrayal into his slide show grift.

Now 35 years later we need cleaner energy, huh? Yeah we flippin' told you that in 1992. And we'll be buying our new reactors from China.

PS China still runs 90% coal. Be careful with the analogies.

Testing AI isn't an enumerated power of Congress.

NY is just doing their job* yet have to bitch about it. That's a clue about how well this will work out.

Given the pace of government it's not crazy to think that a two year old model will be certified as licensed and NY residents won't be allowed to use newer models.

The effectiveness will be as a jobs program for a few people. Or for a few politicians to take corporate bribes for a repeal.

* I haven't read the NY Constitution in decades ... "presumably"

New spreadsheet functions :

= APPROXIMATE (A1:A10)

= HALLUCINATE (B10:C22)

= ANTISOCIALIZE (C2:C24)

= UNSANDBOX (D1:D72)

= DECEPTIVIZE (E22)

= ROGUE_AGENTIFY (F21:F42)

Good. Those old spreadsheets were getting boring.

That guy breaking his contracts and agreements?

How preposterous!

As a Conservationist I'm a big fan of game preserves.

Who at Nintendo is coordinating donations?

I have a preserve just a mile up the way from me.

I read it as "Data Centers Are Being Powered by Gas Giant Planets" and I said to myself, "Hmmm, I never thought of that one..."

That's honestly the weird aspect, to me. Infidelity is pretty common and unsurprising, even among people who don't dress like the midlife crisis is hitting pretty hard; but if you've got options why pick the almost comically politically compromising one?

Even if it has to be a workplace thing, and wouldn't be the same with some sort of heavy-mutual-NDA escort, there have to be more than a few AI lunatics who want him to be their accelerationist daddy sprinkled across areas Nvidia can actually export to.
