I am once again asking companies to not be absolute shitbags about their data breach disclosures, such as deliberately blocking search engines from seeing the page by using a "noindex" tag in its HTML.

Someone should make a circuit board that fits in an original #tamagotchi shell and upgrades the screen and CPU so that it can do a lot of extra stuff; #gps location tracking, #meshtastic node, #pentesting and #radio #hacking like a #flipperZero, etc. Maybe some #arm #soc like a #RaspberryPi, or #Rocknix, or maybe just a little #ESP32. Maybe just cram a #Pebble watch in there or something.

What would you do if you discovered a #bug or #loophole that provided free lifetime service instead of the usual annual or monthly fees? I've been trying to reach out to the company for a year, sending emails and requesting contact with their #development or #security team, but I haven't received a response.

The #CEO is active on #X and #Meta, but I don't have accounts on those platforms but I can't contact him directly anyway since DMs are disabled. Any suggestions?

The service still works after a year of using it.

🚨 This week, due to a lawsuit by The New York Times, OpenAI has been ordered to retain all user chats — even ones that are "deleted" — until further notice.

Enterprise or Edu are clear, but it does affect:

- ChatGPT Free, Plus, and Pro
- ChatGPT Team
- API users (including any 3rd party product that uses their API)

🛡️ If you're building anything sensitive, proprietary, or regulated, your AI is a compliance and reputational issue.

In the dystopian world we live in, #OpenAI is a company with a double-edged sword. On one hand, with #ChatGPT has contributed to “The Dead Internet Theory" by flooding the web with "infinite useless content" (#AISlop), where content is written by bots for bots, with humans merely consuming the noise. On the other hand, OpenAI offers a solution with #WorldId or #WorldCoin, an iris-scanning identification system that verifies one's humanity. When the web eventually will become a logged-in only system, this technology will help to eliminate bots and allow real humans to identify and interact between themselves.

Why AI (marketing name) companies hate humans so much?

With new tech, "people need some time acclimating to what ‘private’ means to them, & if they haven’t looked at that (Meta AI) firehose discovery feed, they might not think through what ‘public’ means in this context,” EFF’s @Thorin told @huffingtonpost https://www.huffpost.com/entry/meta-ai-discover-feed_l_685182ebe4b025ec9a1a39ec

With Meta AI App, You Can 'Discover' People's Wildest Thoughts — But Are You Unknowingly Sharing Yours?

Its "Discover" feed can be all too revealing.
