Holy shit. I only use chrome when I have to for work, and these assholes...

Google Chrome silently installs a 4 GB AI model on your device without consent. At a billion-device scale the climate costs are insane. — That Privacy Guy!

@alice@lgbtqia.space What I do in these situations is open the lock, disassemble it and remove the pins, then spread the word that the lock can be opened with a screwdriver or pocket knife or whatever. That prevents it from being replaced with a new, working, lock.

@crazyeddie@mastodon.social @tinker@infosec.exchange Here's a short list of things that are definitely 100x more likely to dangerous to me: 1: starting a fight with a cop 2: starting a fight with a driver who tries to run me over 3: a tick bite 4: beaver fever 5: poor sailing decisions 6: inaccurate rope swinging 7: poor molotov cocktail construction 8: jaywalking (no longer illegal, but still sometimes unsafe!) I would say that moving money around in my fidelity IRA while I'm in Canada is easily several thousand places down that list.

@jerry@infosec.exchange Is this the same level of "hacking" as the open AI one? Maybe they found a company that exposed a csv of their user's data on an open web site? Discovered that a bank's admin password was 'mydogsname123'?

Parents! Are your kids getting ready for high school? They probably have been missing out on a lot of what they need to prepare them for the next level of learning. Here's a quick summer reading list to help them get up to speed:
1) Poetics (especially the fragments of Comedy that are in the original Greek)
2) Walden
3) The monkey wrench gang
4) The Art of Shen Ku: the First Intergalactic art form of the entire universe
5) The complete upmanship
6) The right way to do wrong
7) How to stay alive in the woods
8) Home Workshop by Eddie the Wire
9) The Temporary Autonomous Zone
10) (* advanced readers only) The CIA improvised munitions black books volumes I-III.

That should lay a good foundation for a productive teenage experience.

I just had the best conversation with my boss about how to pitch a potential client on our services. He realized he'd forgotten to include any pitch about AI, so I told him to use the words "tokens" and "context window" in the pitch. I signed off of the call with "Remember, keep it brazen!"

If you listen to 5-4 podcast, or read anything about the supreme court, you know that Roberts' entire career has been about getting rid of the voting rights act. Now he's done it, after 40+ years of making it obvious he wanted to.

I should have this pic around all the time to explain to youngsters what playing at #ABCNorio was like back in the 90's. (Chris Boarts Larson took this, and it's not SOHO, but near by)

@scott@carfree.city The thing about the plane trees is that they're very San Francisco. Plane trees grow lots of small sticks that the serfs are allowed to cut down to use to make their wattle-and-daub shanties. They can't use real lumber, because that belongs to the rich.
