Heh. My uber driver claimed to be an operative for the NSA and FBI collecting on people in the US. Couldn't name his authorities nor divisions.
Last thing he said to me was "don't make come eat you up." Uh. What can you say to that but "I don't taste good, Justin."

Serious take: the solution to Safe Browsing false positives like the Immich one is passkeys.
Phishing regularly upends people's lives. The Safe Browsing cat-and-mouse with all its opaque false positives will be necessary until we roll out phishing-resistant auth.

1/ Hi, I'm TProphet. I write the Telecom Informer for @2600.com. A lot of people have been asking me about www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat... given that I'm somewhat knowledgeable in the area.
Here's my take: I'm kind of astonished that this is public, and it isn't normal that it would ever be.

This has extremely cringey "Your honor, I SWEAR" I thought they were over 18" vibes
OpenAI and Sam Altman said today, notably ahead of a Senate Judiciary Committee on AI safety, that their solution to ChatGPT's teen safety problem is to have AI guess if a person is underage and default them to the teen version. No word on kids 12 and younger, who are simply not supposed to use it.
New ChatGPT teen-safety measures will include age prediction and verification, OpenAI says
AI chatbots have come under intense scrutiny over safety concerns, particularly for younger users. OpenAI faces a lawsuit over one teen's suicide.

Curious: How many punk band/album/song/lyric references can you spot?
Not everything sux. On Aug 6, I'm making good on a minor threat: unity of punks and hackers. Disconnected and alien 8ed as a kid, punk and hacker communities let me rise above. So I give it back.
