"Someone" in the government was showing off and said something they shouldn't to whomever who didn't have clearance. As a preventative measure the higher ups spilled the beans so no one would get in trouble.

You know, like on The West Wing Season 4, Episode 21, "Life on Mars". The episode where the Vice President resigns.

Chef Slowik would like to introduce him to smores.

The sequel no one asked for.

I totally agree with you. Ages ago I was carrying around an iPod touch and a small flip phone. Bizarrely enough, I need to replace both at the same time. I did the math and instead of getting two devices I paid $100 more and got an iPhone 5c. To me, this extra amount was justified. Except now...

iPad mini ($600) + iPhone 17e ($700) = $1300. So that's $700 more for the convenience of carrying around the new flip phone.

Except, for $600 Apple will sell you a refurbed MacBook Neo. I think that puts the price gap into perspective.

Imagine Apple buying Dyson.

You made my point. ;)

This wasn't an AI just wandering around seeing if it could get in anywhere. There was a plot. There was a plan. And humans trained it to have those type of intentions.

"What's the order of sites it tried before hacking Hugging Face? Or was it on a short list?"

Four tickets to Betty Grable movies?

"If we're going to assume AI is THAT fucking stupid, STOP calling it "intelligence" and call it what it is."

A self serving politician? :D

"If it benefits me and my constituents then it's okay."

Generation Alphas: "That's what happens when you don't let us have our phones."

"Consider a boot print as far as man can see..."

"Yeah, buttmunch! You attacked us first!" - Err

I thought it was a magnetic radiation explosion? Causes by two Scottish terriers attracted to each other colliding next to a fuel dump.
