KPMG issued a report citing all the transformational ways GenAI has transformed industry, it’s been widely cited.

One minor problem: it turns they used AI to write the report, and it made up all of the evidence.

KPMG have now withdrawn the report in full.

I bought a car. I’m trying to get Toyota to stop sending telemetry. I call support. They tell me I can just sign in with the app and make changes.

I point out that installing and using the app binds me to terms and conditions, one of which is binding arbitration. So I will not be installing the app.

No, no. The customer service agent confidently contradicts me. You don’t sign a contract by installing the app. It’s just like making a Facebook or google account.

If you want on to Microsoft's internal network, CORPNET, publish or own an existing a VSCode extension.

The Visual Studio Code Marketplace, which Microsoft own, is completely uncontrolled.

Anybody can publish an extension, it provides code execution on endpoints, extensions auto update by default, "verified" blue tick extensions just need any domain registration, and there's no endpoint security controls at all around what users can install.

VSCode is an absolute security shittip as a result.

Ah, the #copyfail clickbait posts are coming. Here’s my serious contribution. On your Linux machine add

initcall_blacklist=algif_aead_init

to your kernel boot commandline (typically in grub). Reboot. You are now safe until the updated kernel packages become available. For distributions with the `grubby` command this is done as root with

# grubby --update-kernel=ALL --args="initcall_blacklist=algif_aead_init"

This mitigation comes courtesy of Red Hat. Our engineers keep you safe :)
