‼️Insane: Meta's Director of AI Safety and Alignment gave OpenClaw bot full access to her computer and email.

She couldn't stop it from deleting her entire inbox.

She's supposed to guardrail Meta's AI and future AGI.

Belgian PM Bart De Wever admits: "We made dogmatic choices against nuclear energy, which was the stupidity of the century."

As for the "irreversibility" of this phaseout: in all cases it’s easier, cheaper and faster to refurb a partially dismantled unit than to build a new one from scratch.

Let no one tell you otherwise, as they're bullshitting you.

As we guessed, it seems that despite Google saying they were not making recordings of people's voices and mining them for advertisers, they were doing exactly that.

If it was a colleague caught wiretapping the workplace, we'd have them sacked and never speak to nor trust them again. In the case of Google, it's even more personal.

No Google service is free. We are the terrain they extract from. We always pay.

Adobe is now processing all your PDFs in the cloud, by default. The setting to “Enable generative AI features in Acrobat” was on, and I didn’t know it until I opened a document and Adobe asked me if I wanted a document summary. It’s annoying to have to click “No,” so I opened settings to disable the prompt.

THE PROBLEM
I sign Non-Disclosure Agreements for many of my clients. Adobe is a potential leak of protected information. I don’t know what Adobe does with this information. I don’t know what they store, or for how long. I don’t know what country (or countries) the data is stored in. I don’t know what LLMs are trained with this data. And I don’t need to know. What I need to know is that they won’t use default opt-in as a legal excuse to wiretap my information.

I recommend that you check your Adobe settings on all devices, for all Adobe accounts.

Watching Microsoft’s robots telling Microsoft’s other robots that they need to agree to Microsoft CLAs in between Microsoft’s developers begging Microsoft’s robots to actually understand the problems they’re trying to fix in Microsoft's platform code on Microsoft's version-control website is kind of amazing.

This is definitely the future Terry Gilliam promised us.
