This is fine...
"We observed that participants who had access to the AI assistant were more likely to introduce security vulnerabilities for the majority of programming tasks, yet were also more likely to rate their insecure answers as secure compared to those in our control group."

So… People put stuff in their robots.txt to “prevent” malicious scraping of their data for machine learning purposes. I hope everybody understands that this is just a “please don’t take my data” sign on the front lawn. We should be creating heaps of adversarial data instead. Data suitable to taint those datasets.

Zeiss created tech that turns regular window glass into a camera. I can totally see how this will only ever be used for well intentioned purposes.

We've arranged a global civilization in which most crucial elements profoundly depend on science and technology. We have also arranged things so that almost no one understands science and technology. This is a prescription for disaster. We might get away with it for a while, but sooner or later this combustible mixture of ignorance and power is going to blow up in our faces.
― Carl Sagan

In Germany we don’t say „Carmageddon“,
instead we say: „Berlin ist für alle da, auch für Autofahrer“, and I think that‘s aus der Zeit gefallen.

Deutschland im Endstadium.
Ein von "ethischer KI" gesteuerter Ansteckpin für Kinder, der "Achtung Auto!" ruft... Satire ist tot.
Da fällt mir nicht mal mehr ein hässiger Kommentar zu ein.

Fortinet seems to have "not being entirely truthful" in their DNA. Remember, when it turned out that they didn't write their own realtime OS and IP stack but used Linux instead, obfuscating that fact by XORing their images with a static secret? So, yeah. Totally in character. https://gpl-violations.org/news/20050414-fortinet/

btw... them relying on static secrets and XOR seems to be a whole theme throughout the years. so they are not even good at this... you know... securing things thing. https://sec-consult.com/vulnerability-lab/advisory/weak-encryption-cipher-and-hardcoded-cryptographic-keys-in-fortinet-products/

TIL: 0,6 to 2,3% of US electricity usage is evaporated into cryptocoin stuff. That's about the same ballpark as electricity used to run the rail networks in Switzerland (2,8%) or Germany (~1%). Couldn't find figures for the US as just one percent of their rail network is electricified.
We all make choices, I guess.

TIL: Deutschland hat gar kein Hochgeschwindigkeits-Bahnnetz, sondern nur drei fragmentarische Nord/Süd-Schnellfahrstrecken.
Also, schon viel zug gefahren bisher, aber nie bewusst wahrgenommen, nur gelegentlich gewundert: "warum fahren wir eigentlich gerade so langsam?". Deswegen offenbar.

PSA
If you have bought a 1TB or bigger flash stick from a cheap source. Don't use it.

Its likely a much lower sized stick, bodged up to report its size incorrectly

It WILL FAIL and YOU WILL LOSE DATA
