OMG, I was unaware of this story. God bless him.
Here's a fun AI story: a security researcher noticed that large companies' AI-authored source-code repeatedly referenced a nonexistent library (an AI "hallucination"), so he created a (defanged) malicious library with that name and uploaded it, and thousands of developers automatically downloaded and incorporated it as they compiled the code:

OpenAI deems its voice cloning tool too risky for general release
@jbqueru @timbray I won't posit a "solution" at this time, but the core principles of "open source" come from a different time where for all practical purposes the attack vectors (and potential consequences) simply didn't exist. This is going to take more than technical changes alone to fix; the foundational "philosophy" in some ways of open source is unfortunately implicated.
Easter can happen any day between March 22 and April 25
Next year, Easter will fall on Hitler’s birthday
But for some reason, the GOP wants to be outraged Easter coincides with the International Transgender Day of Visibility
They are calling out the President for somehow moving the internationally recognized day to today
Yet it’s been the same day since 2010
Weird hill to die on
…but at least you’ll be resurrected in three days to seethe again
Happy #TransDayOfVisiblity 🏳️⚧️ ❤️
While the US military aid has flatlined, and Olaf Scholz will not send Taurus missiles, Russia has just dropped its first ODAB-1500 thermobaric bomb in Ukraine.
Thermobaric weapons spread a cloud of flammable liquid and then ignites the cloud, creating a deadly blast followed by an lethal vacuum which rupture the lungs on humans.
Does anyone think Putin is worried about this being an escalation?
Stop talking. Give Ukraine every thinkable weapon, so they can defeat the evil before it spreads.
Putin has made sexual violence a policy of occupation in conquered parts of Ukraine. This article offers suggestions for future prosecution of the criminals, and systems to discourage stats from doing this.
Although no Debian stable versions are known to be affected by CVE-2024-3094 the next point release for 12.6 has been postponed while we investigate the effects of this CVE on the Archive. https://lists.debian.org/debian-security-announce/2024/msg00057.html https://micronews.debian.org/2024/1711844961.html?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #debian
Trump has posted a mock video and photo of President Biden, bound and gagged, in the back of a pick up truck.
-The Secret Service and/or FBI
would long ago have been at
our door.
-That photo would have us held
in jail.
Makes a threat to our President and Trump is still sitting at home... posting threatening messages to a judge and his daughter. He's making a mockery of our judicial system.
And, being allowed to get away with it.

Politician decried "illegal invaders" at the Detroit airport. They were college basketball players arriving for the Sweet 16.

IMHO: America needs more immigrants, fewer bigots.
@tristansnell on post.news:
Donald Trump has a private jet.
Donald Trump lives in private clubs.
Donald Trump assembled a private militia to attack the Capitol.
Now he gets his own private system of justice — available to him alone.
NO ONE ELSE would get the special treatment he gets.
NO ONE should.

It appears that the latest update to the Google News app on Android now ignores browser preference and always launches Chrome.
Seems like a dumb move since Google is under close scrutiny, along with Apple. Are they trying to catch a $10 billion fine from the EU or what?
Today on the @nicolesandler show Marcy talked about Lev Parnas' allegation that Bill Barr knew of his & #RudyGiuliani 's search for dirt on #HunterBiden from the time he was confirmed- Feb. 2019.
In Lev's book he explains the tricks used to keep him out of the impeachment case. Here's @emptywheel talking about #LevParnas & what he alleged #BillBarr knew & when he knew it. Watch the whole @nicolesandler show here.: https://youtu.be/eeBbFesbmVY?si=7zTFAn8WJPVGbobE
