Submission + - How An Autonomous Agent Got Full Read/Write of McKinsey's Internal AI Platform (codewall.ai)

indros13 writes: McKinsey & Company — the world's most prestigious consulting firm — built an internal AI platform called Lilli for its 43,000+ employees.

So we decided to point our autonomous offensive agent at it. No credentials. No insider knowledge. And no human-in-the-loop. Just a domain name and a dream. Within 2 hours, the agent had full read and write access to the entire production database.... This wasn't a startup with three engineers. This was McKinsey & Company — a firm with world-class technology teams, significant security investment, and the resources to do things properly. And the vulnerability wasn't exotic: SQL injection is one of the oldest bug classes in the book. Lilli had been running in production for over two years and their own internal scanners failed to find any issues.

Iâ(TM)m very grateful for this explanation. Iâ(TM)m one of those Juicebox users who has a 100amp panel and a concern about overload, so I adjusted the charge level down. Now Iâ(TM)m unsure that my setting will be preserved come next week or if Iâ(TM)ll ever be able to change it if I get an electrical upgrade.

Have you tried Bluetooth recently? I'm on calls about half the day for work and AirPods have been a savior. They have pretty minimal lag and good sound quality (at least as good as the folks using headphones without a mic or just their laptop's built in one). Maybe you had a bad experience, but Bluetooth has come a long way.

The article wraps up with a suggestion that we need to invest more in classroom education so there's not inequity between students who can and can't afford a graphing calculator. I'd suggest we need more competition in the graphic calculator space. No way in hell this should still cost $100.

Older Samsung Smart TVs, Certain Roku Devices To Lose Netflix Support Next Month (techcrunch.com) 170

An unspecified number of smart TVs manufactured by Samsung will lose native support for Netflix next month, the companies said in an announcement this week. From a report: Netflix app installed -- or available for -- Samsung smart TVs manufactured in 2010 and 2011 (C and D lineups) -- and likely sold for many years after that -- will stop functioning December 2, Samsung alerted customers this week. In a statement, a company spokesperson said these TV models were sold only in the U.S. and Canada. In its statement, the top smart TV manufacturer advised affected customers to look for a game console, streaming media player, set-top box or other devices that still support Netflix app to continue their binge-watching sessions. A Netflix spokesperson cited technical limitations for the change. The developement comes weeks after Netflix alerted several Roku customers that they, too, will lose access to the streaming service on December 1.

Of the rapacious cable network no longer allowing me to watch a game broadcast free over the air without a subscription. First I had to watch in SD only, then I had to pay for the HD box, and always with a monthly subscription cost that kept rising. And then to get the stream, I have to login with my cable account (that I don't want, because it's expensive).
