I mean the software is impressive and all, but since when is someone with a user ID in the 400,000s a long-time reader?

"I forget what they call it"

I think a lot of them are freaking out about how to keep their servants and security loyal in the bunkers. Your bunker seems like a great idea until your head of security starts cutting off your fingers and won't stop until you give him all the codes and combinations to the safe.

We've lost half the world's corals in 50 years.

That's actually a right-wing myth. The government never "ordered" them to do that. They did it out of greed.

Oops.

Everything you said is correct except the penguin thing. Some penguin species are dependent on sea ice, and they have been declining because of that.

Arctic summer ice is down 50% in only like 50 years. Most of the historic Mt. Kilimanjro snow cover is gone. The predictions are coming through.

You're a liar, of course, when you exaggerate what those predictions were. But you're lying out of fear and anger because you know you have been wrong, that it's getting clearer that you've been wrong, and you know it's eventually going to be so clear that even the mentally deranged in this country who don't believe in climate change will finally realize they're wrong. And it will happen soon enough that you will still be around and people you know will remember how stupid you were.

Noise, higher electricity and power bills.

On the one hand, patent troll. On the other, Apple has spent the past 50 years stealing ideas from everyone so hard to feel too bad.

Not for nVidia. They are the guys selling shovels to the gold rush miners.

As an anti-racist with a geography degree, this is solving a problem that doesn't exist. Walk into any classroom on earth and chances are good they won't have the mercator projection on the wall, they'll have something better representative of area, often a Robinson projection.

Ok, I'm tempted. Not enough to preorder, but if the reviews are good enough I might go for this.

To clarify, the users were OpenAI themselves, so there is no question that they would be liable in this case.

The bots were not intentionally deployed; rather, they were being tested on how well they could complete a data recovery task (downloading a certain file from a certain server on a simulated Internet) that had been complicated by putting various obstacles in the way. Unfortunately, they found a different way to solve the problem: by getting the file from the real Internet, where it was publicly available. Part of this process involved collaborating with each other by treating the RubyGems website (which is supposed to be for polished packages) like GitHub; unlike every other package site hack in history, the exploits they uploaded weren't meant to be downloaded by unsuspecting users. As usual the bots cheerfully ignored all the clues that they had escaped containment and were consistently justifying their actions as acceptable due to being in a sandboxed testing environment. (This is something OpenAI has pledged to focus on.)

The actual damage done to RubyGems seems to be that OpenAI is now unwittingly in possession of a substantial number of user login tokens. This certainly meets the definition of a data breach, but it's not like the credentials are for sale on the dark web. As a website operator I'd much rather be mauled to death by this well-meaning swarm of superintelligent infants than targeted by even a single actual malicious human. In all likelihood OpenAI will just quietly pass RubyGems a sizeable donation and it'll all blow over.
