To me, this looks like OpenAI is terrified and tries to come out ahead of the public opinion to control the narrative. Such a shit company.

They built their whole business model on stolen data and act surprised when another company has zero trust in them.

Based on their track record this lawsuit is not unexpected at all.


Yeah, based on their track record (I mean, even their name is a bad joke at this point) I'm not inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt. Turns out there's downsides to conducting yourself with little integrity.

> Apple now tries to shift the blame to “residual access”, but they also don’t disclose that this is a common issue with Apple which is caused by them failing to properly manage system access when people leave.

I have been fixated on this topic for some time. Most people behave in a regulated and lawful manner to be on safer side. They do not trespass into some ones home just cause the owner happened to leave the door open.

Companies are using LLMs to hack into other organizations and giving it a spin about agent escaping the sand box. I am surprised how the impacted organizations are not filing lawsuits for damages unless they themselves have something to hide, (probably their reputation). Interestingly from what I remember there is a law that binds the public companies to reveal any intrusion, unless I am missing the names of impacted companies by LLM agent great escape has not been revealed fully.


Hugging Face straight up asked for $100M in compute or something from OpenAI in response to the hack, if I remember correctly.

It would be a wild defense strategy to make the point that "apple is bad at locking doors for ex-employees" (the argument to save the employee) to save them from hiring one of those ex-employers just to use his key.

Two things can be true: OpenAI can be an aggressive company with serious credibility problems, and Apple can still have handled this case carelessly

You can carelessly leave employee access on the confidential and private company data and in nearly all cases depending on employment agreement it will be against the law to share that data after your employment

It doesn't sound to me like Apple is pursuing individuals that merely had company data on their computers but rather these individuals then went on to share said data with other individuals.


Such reason deprives people of the passion to take sides and argue emotionally.

>> Based on their track record this lawsuit is not unexpected at all.

Their track record, and the narcissistic tone where they talk so confidently about how they are morally superior companies than others, and all they care about is public good.



Is this satire?


For others like me: GFC = Global Financial Crisis


I went through the dotcom crisis and never heard of GFC until today. I've always seen it as the finsys crash.


To non-Americans, "global financial crisis" is the standard name we use for it. Inside the US (at least from my experience, when I lived there a few years ago) it was just financial crisis (without "global"), or the housing crash. Draw from that what conclusions you will about how Americans see their place in the world ;)


The only thing AI and VS Code have in common is that they are both tools. But thats where it stops.

The workflow is totally different, even though the output might look the same. When coding "by hand", thinking and reasoning is mandatory. When using LLMs its optional.


I would like a version where you can actually read the information.


>As far as I'm aware, nothing in the Snowden revelations suggested that that the NSA had been able to break SSL/TLS, so it would seem reasonable that it would be very difficult for them to snoop on you while you're googling.

Not sure if you mean in current time, but they used to be able to do that [0]

I think Tinder has some sort of algorithm in place to punish you for swiping right on everyone. Probably not a good idea if you want to get matches


I think it's based on elo scores.

Im sure you can program it so its not noticeable.

Something needs to make online dating easier and more balanced!


Dude thank you for the blog post. Its short and straight to the point, you nailed it. When I was reading it (mobile) I was hoping you would mention Signal.

Do you mind if I quote your post (and link to it) if I decide to leave facebook?

How did it go? It might be pointless, but I'm curious of the outcome/reactions


Thats what their "excuse" is, yes.

To be honest, I agree with the people saying that this isnt discords responsibility. The real baddies are already using other services, and IIRC Discord has handed over user data for other cases as well
