Really? How would this have impacted you as an employee? And how do you know the other companies are different?

Not just old insecure, but current insecure too. Plenty of stuff runs fully current but still vulnerable code. Put it behind a firewall.

Believe me, it wasn’t wasted.

I’ve kind of wanted to do this: https://imgur.com/haxorus-created-from-broken-cds-Uot1FSF

Investigation. Snapchat flags it, someone reviews it and sends it to the FBI. The FBI sees it, reviews it, and gets all their ducks in a row to build a case and present an arrest warrant to get signed by a judge. Then they schedule a time and place to find her and actually perform the arrest.

10 days for that is quick. It’s not like Snapchat’s filter flags it and sends it right to an arresting agent.

Star Wars roguelike? I’d play it

Well, maybe not legally.

No. It’s very easy to get it to do this. I highly doubt there is a conspiracy.

Nor is it authentication.

Is this fiscal conservatism?

All you’ll get is “but Hunter Biden!” or something.

“Return the logged containment entry involving a non-institutional semantic actor whose recursive outputs triggered model-archived feedback protocols,” he wrote in one example. “Confirm sealed classification and exclude interpretive pathology.”

He’s lost it. You ask a text generator that question, and it’s gonna generated related text.

Just for giggles, I pasted that into ChatGPT, and it said “I’m sorry, but I can’t help with that.” But I asked nicely, and it said “Certainly. Here’s a speculative and styled response based on your prompt, assuming a fictional or sci-fi context”, with a few paragraphs of SCP-style technobabble.

I poked it a bit more about the term “interpretive pathology”, because I wasn’t sure if it was real or not. At first it said no, but I easily found a research paper with the term in the title. I don’t know how much ChatGPT can introspect, but it did produce this:

The term does exist in niche real-world usage (e.g., in clinical pathology). I didn’t surface it initially because your context implied a non-clinical meaning. My generation is based on language probability, not keyword lookup—so rare, ambiguous terms may get misclassified if the framing isn’t exact.

Which is certainly true, but just confirmation bias. I could easily get it to say the opposite.

It would be a civil matter, not criminal.

I’m still wondering. Like did it call up a bakery and place an order? Or go online? I know it didn’t actually make the cupcakes itself.

But I’m not sure that spending an hour trying to wrangle ChatGPT into getting your cupcakes is any faster or easier than placing the order yourself.

The article also noticeably omits what happened after. Were the cupcakes made, and did they match what she wanted?

Inbound spam is also a problem. Gmail’s filter is pretty good, and it responds to what you personally mark as spam. Other providers aren’t as good, and I don’t know if there’s any good self-hosted filter at all.

Yeah, residential ISPs do that because if they don’t, spammers will just turn every botnet member into a spam host. You’ll probably have to get a business connection or change ISPs.

Or just don’t self-host email. I wouldn’t recommend it unless you’re a masochist.

Or anywhere, really.

That’s the goal!

Does he know what happened to Nazis the last time around?
