definitely going to use this to train our AI models on your likeness, nope, not at all.

For the love of Baby Carl Sagan, absolutely do not do this in any circumstances, what the fuck

I kinda wasn't expecting a multi trillion dollar industry to build its marketing campaigns on my tiny niche. Makes sense IMO, 0day have always been pretty easy and false positives don't really matter during the audits... and the entire world has been told 0day are impossible

The amount of people who aren't comfortable saying "I don't know" is staggering.

Make "I don't know" more common in y'alls vernacular. It's healthy and leads to learning new things

My doctor's AI transcription service added the wrong antibiotic to my allergens list and, more importainly, failed to add the antibiotic that almost killed me a couple months ago.

Say it with me now (and also to a HUMAN at your next doctor appointment):

I do NOT consent to AI transcription of this appointment.

The man whose codebreaking may have helped to shorten the Second World War by two years met a grim reward: in 1952 Alan Turing was convicted simply for being gay and chemically castrated; a royal pardon came only in 2013, decades after his death

Fun fact:

If you go to report a vulnerability to MSRC that is a missed-fix or a variant of something that Microsoft has already released an update for, you must provide the existing VULN- identifier. Just a CVE isn't enough, for reasons I cannot fathom. (If you tell Microsoft a CVE ID, they themselves can easily see which VULN- ID is associated with it.)

Meaning, only the person who reports a vulnerability to Microsoft is allowed to tell them that the fix wasn't good enough. (The VULN- ID is what you get when you submit a case to MSRC)

Great job, folks. It instills great confidence when your form for receiving vulnerabilities confuses when to use OR with when to use AND. 🤦‍♂️

There's apparently scammers going round pretending to be Mastodon admins, demanding people "verify their identity".

Do not click on their links, do not give them any info. It is a scam. Genuine Mastodon server admins never demand verification like this.

Here's a guide to how to recognise and avoid various kinds of scams on Mastodon and the wider Fediverse:
