Not sure I care about the gambling overall, but I do care they allow things like betting on wild fires; literally creating incentives for the creation of wildfires.

A call for aid is not inherently a distress call. Period.

Running out of fuel is not inherently a distress call, on calm seas with no immediate risk to life it is a call for aid. It would be escalated to a distress call if the situation changed, rough seas, drifting towards rocks, etc. would be valid for a distress call.

Is there an immediate risk to life and safety? No - call for aid.

There is a legal difference.

Exploiting JavaScript in a submission form just by not using it is barely a hack

Very early symptoms could discourage the job well before obvious symptoms and inability surface.

But I'll taking dying 10 years prior as a strong hint that driving cabs might not be a good choice. (There are some other aspects of cab driving, varying substantially over where you do it that should also be considered. It's not the same job in many respects in NY vs Toronto or LA.)

Anyone automating this without a full fledged headless browser would run into this. No abuse needs to be intended if they were as lax as the article implies.

A junior level dev should be able to do better.

They skipped basic security protocols in the app development.

Sounds like they used JavaScript to limit the booking period, and accepted cancellations without validation.

This is much less a hack, and more like incompetence on the web app developers part.

"The accidental rollout for enterprise users has done nothing more than cause OneDrive to display a sync error in the task bar, and flash an error message if someone opens the photos app."

If you think that none of that is a big deal you haven't worked in an actual restricted environment.

This will potentially require servers to be wiped and rebuilt in some environments. Even if everything is configured correctly and this update did not make it to restricted servers, they will likely have to be specifically audited to prove that to the powers that be.

Having an error message pop up on users machines also means dozens, to hundreds or thousands of calls to service desks to address the issue. Nothing like getting top executives to file a service ticket and having to reprioritize your day because of it over something as stupid as the, and yet that's what happens.

There are hundreds of millions in the table.

It's entirely possible for someone to pay someone to start fires, or, have someone reach out with "proof" they started one and ask for payment. Creating a process that encourages either action is only going to make things substantially worse.

And get substantially more attention if maintainers.

I have a solution for this.

And by that I mean an idea that these idiots could use to protect media like that, and still be capable of using it themselves.

I'm more confused why you think any of those are a challenge.

Deadly toxins, explosives, etc. the information for creating and using them is basic science. If you've been at University for more than 2 years and you can't: know where to find the info, have the skills to do it; you should hand in your degree, because you skipped out of way too many classes.

Your kitchen and utility closet could wipe out a small community. Your garage could level it.

I will be offering a Degree in Moderation, get every single student in this program to be blocked by every social media platform before they complete their term.

It's not really news.

The vendor being based in Israel is being highlighted to put a negative spin on it. Nothing has really changed however.

You can use the truth to make your enemies look bad, just by highlighting the undesirable aspects that haven't changed.

Aspiring writers are told one of the most important things to do to learn writing is, get this, read. Not instructional manuals, not tutorials, while those are absolutely encouraged, what they are told to do is read the types of books they want to write.

You know, so they can preprogram their neural structures on what the concepts are around structuring the types of books they want to write.

So yes, people train on books, novels, technical manuals , fiction, non-fiction.

Some of those people have didactic memories, they remember what they read in great detail and can unintentionally regurgitate that material in their own writing. It happens.

So when people say LLMs do things people don't, they usually just haven't met enough people.

Really? Exactly not what they should double down on.
