Automobile model years have started in the autumn for as long as I can remember. There's nothing illegal about it because "model year" doesn't tell you anything specific about the vehicle, so there's nothing that would be subject to false advertising laws.

Wait until you find out about corporate fiscal years.

That laptop screen has got to be less than a foot from his eyes given where the heating pattern is. How does he even type?

OMG!!! Ponies!!!

More than likely these vulnerabilities have been there for a while, but they started to use AI to find them. Hence why they were able to find so many in this cycle.

To be fair, Babylon 5 did that once in a while too. JMS said that his job wasn't to answer questions, it was to start bar fights. Believers is the prime example, though it's probably one of the least liked episodes of the entire show.

The 'official' estimate is they currently lose 30% of their drinkable water due to leaks and theft, which means the actual amount is almost certainly higher*.

*Poor government numbers should always be assumed to be worse than they are, and good ones better absent oddball situations. The magnitude of the amount depending on the local corruption and the significance of the effect on the government workers if they provide numbers their superiors don't like.

>payments to OpenAI, with the Republican National Committee ranking as the company's largest political spender at roughly $9,700, the analysis found.

For some reason, I don't think $10K is going to be much help in paying for the billions being spent on AI data centers.
