> Why disgruntled though

This person participated in the bug bounty program and Microsoft refused to pay the bounties on reported bugs. Many news stories covered the situation.

The reported bugs in Defender got CVE's and emergency updates.

Now she's on a mission.

A few tens of thousands of dollars was the cost of avoiding all this.

Correct, but Huang is a also a huge proponent of democratized open source access to AI systems which directly threaten the business potential of large proprietary models.

Expect regulators to try to shut down Huggingface on "national security" grounds soon.

Anthropic thinks their prompts are worth $2T and DoW thinks Claude is good at picking civilian targets for missile strikes.

The only "evidence" against Huang right now is four anonymous Intelligence sources to NYT et. al.. Being a dirty dog doesn't take down a megacorp CEO - unfortunately it's the norm.

Under Michael Yon's model the main geopolitical competition of current day is Han vs. Zion so all this makes sense through that lens.

I'm with the decentralization of power crowd, whichever ethnicity is promoting it this week. Centralization of power always leads to Death Cults.

But that is not what Google is referring to. They are saying that schools cannot have the normal search without the AI hallucinations.

Because .... " A.I. features are now a standard part of Google's commercially available search engine ... "Search and A.I. are deeply integrated," said Chris Phillips, vice president for education at Google"

That is exactly the lie I was speaking of which you are repeating. Thanks for finding that, liar!

yeah, I'm sure they were doing updates on the FAA core routers during the busiest part od the travel week, pushing to prod just before the weekend, and at Market close.

C'mon.

Yeah, yeah, they don't want to scare people or admit weakness.

It would be especially odd if this Administration told the truth today for the first time.

Thankfully this turned out to be one-and-done. I totally understand the motivations but I still have stuff to do before the big one.

Comment Briefing is also a sales pitch (Score 1) 89

I saw a bit of the briefing and Duffy talked a bunch about Congress needing to appropriate them more money so "Trump can build" a more modern network, before he leaves office, 'cause the current system is old and this is a "National Security issue" (sound familiar), etc. He's not wrong about some of that, but ... [puts on tin-foil hat] ... maybe this was just a manufactured "crisis" to get more funding, or someone actually hacked into the system ... [takes off tin-foil hat] Extreme conspiracy thinking, I know, but I wouldn't put things like that past this administration, one known to lie, obfuscate or just be incompetent. [takes off backup tin-foil hat] :-)

But that is not what Google is referring to. They are saying that schools cannot have the normal search without the AI hallucinations. Also, if AI is meaningfully involved with Google's traditional search results, then that only serves to explain why they are so shit now. But most importantly, this argument is the one that Google wants us to have, and it is bullshit.

The schools are not, in general, making a moral objection to AI. They are making a practical one, where they do not want the students exposed to a chatbot while a human is trying to teach them something sans hallucination. Having a discussion about whether the traditional search results have any AI in them is fundamentally disingenuous, which is why I am 0% surprised to see you engaging in it.

Aside from some "Office 363" jokes

We had that joke today on Teams.

Other employee: Looks more like Office 364
Me: I think it's more like Office 363 now

Assorted smiley reaccs ensue.

Some entity will need to lose serious money before anything will happen. And when something does, it will be regulated lock-in, not a return to a diverse email system.

Either thing would be better than this. This is fucking chaos.

Just making excuses for CEOs not being able to follow the law, you mean.

Fuck off with that shit, it's morally bankrupt.

The people you are talking about are rich as fuck, they can afford to meet people on international vacations. No matter what I will not cry for the fucking billionaires, nor lick their boots.
