Just as long as you don't say the 'c' word.

My wife just received an email from the online retailer. She has been asked to "Not take any photographs or copies of the product in question due to copyright issues" and it states, "the product must be returned immediately by special delivery by [DATE]." There's some other statements as well about our account being terminated if we fail to return the product by the specific date. We've got a lot of movies and series that we have purchased over the years on this account, I wouldn't want to lose them.
They've stated that taking photos of the book will break a bunch of laws. They also stated that not promptly returning the book would may break some laws, and lead to the termination of my account.
Does the CEO of Totally-Not-Amazon know that his company is signing it's name to stupid letters?
Dude came up with an unofficial wikipedia article naming dispute resolution process, used it on a single article, saw the mostly negative feedback...
And thought "you know what. I should build a political party around this and get Elon Musk on board".
15 years to realize their UIs might be bad. How many years until they realize UI and system design (including protocols, backend, etc) are inextricably linked?
Microsoft’s excuse is that many of these attacks require an insider.
Sure we made phishing way easier, more dangerous, and more subtle; but it was the user's fault for trusting our Don't Trust Anything I Say O-Matic workplace productivity suite!
Edit: and really from the demos it looks like a user wouldn't have to do anything at all besides write "summarize my emails" once. No need to click on anything for confidential info to be exfiltrated if the chatbot can already download arbitrary URLs based on the prompt injection!
The one catch is that because responses from the blockchain can take variable amounts of time, it’s best to request and receive from blockchains using asynchronous methods.
"You may be used to writing websites that actually load in fractions of a second, and so rely on obsolete web2 technologies like synchronous fetches. But don't worry! With modern techniques like async / await your loading spinner will animate flawlessly while the blockchain spends 20 minutes burning down a forest in the background."
Sloppy LLM programming? Never!
In completely unrelated news I've been staring at this spinner icon for the past five minutes after asking an LLM to output nothing at all:
You can practically taste the frustration in the "prompt engineering" here. Just one more edge case bro, one more edge case and then the prompt will be perfect!
"So wait, you mean you're willing to condemn my mind clones to an eternity of suffering so you can get tiktok views?"
Instead of Universal Basic Income, everyone should be given a small stipend to pay tribute to I, Sailor Sega Saturn. I demand tribute!
TL;DR: "I'm no longer a white nationalist because a lot of white people are cucked. Now my new identity is with sufficiently pilled white people. This is much more pragmatic. Also I would totally have a cool black friend if any actually existed which means I'm totally not racist."
Also: did anyone else feel a chill reading about a literal nazi talking about how society accepts him now? America used to despise nazis and now they feel like they can walk around openly. It's terrifying.
Optimizing mating strategies? But I'm terrible at chess!
