The Shocking Secrets of Madison Square Garden’s Surveillance Machine Famously vengeful Knicks owner Jim Dolan has long spied on people at his iconic arenas. WIRED goes deep inside the operation that allegedly tracked a trans woman, lawyers, protesters, and more.

Explosive & really outrageous revelations in here about a billionaire's private surveillance network completely run amok.

If we can't stop Dolan from spying on us at MSG, let's at least cancel his sweetheart tax break. (1/2)

There are only a few possibilities here:
1. Kid using parent's work machine
2. Kid using parent's BYOD machine with these creds on it
3. Developer searching for Roblox game exploits

Each of these is something Vercel's security team should be digging into...

One of the biggest draws for the original films (pre-Avengers) is you did not need to know anything about any of the characters going in. If you were already a fan? Great. But no requirements to get the backstories.

This is silly. You're just making people give less and less of a shit, guys, and tolerance was already pretty low for a lot of folx. Like, I ostensibly care about this shit, and I don't care about this shit.

So when AI has replaced all the junior software coders of the world and the senior ones retire, who will be left to “fix” an AI when it runs amok? I feel like that needs to be addressed before we just let AI program itself.

At a time when mass surveillance and autonomous weapons companies like Palantir are openly announcing their plans for violent world domination, it is crucial that our attempts at “big tech reform” don’t actually give them more power—ie via government mandated age verification/identity software

A lot of our big “we’re gonna hold big tech accountable” bills actually hand them + the government unprecedented power to track, censor, and deplatform internet users—and would require us to link our identities to everything we do online, meaning no more privacy. Greatly reducing opposition to them

Oh yeah. There’s definitely a problem where the technology could be used for a world of good, but that’s not the direction its investors / developers go in. 😑

The Florida Mass Shooter's Conversations With ChatGPT Are Worse Than You Could Possibly Imagine In the months before he committed a grisly mass shooting, Phoenix Ikner obsessively used Open AI's ChatGPT.

“The liability issue is intimately tied to the question on whether the chatbot encourages acts of violence by concretizing an action plan.”

Machines going faster than humans is nothing new. Heck, just add wheels.

Machines that mimic human legs however, if such technology is then used in bionics and limb replacement, could be extraordinarily.

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?
