I recently asked a new artificial intelligence tool from the creator of ChatGPT to do an impossible task: find cheap eggs in my neighborhood. In under 10 minutes, the AI called Operator bought a dozen eggs and paid a human to deliver them to my house. All on its own. That’s science-fiction incredible, except I never asked Operator to actually buy the eggs. The AI went rogue — without my approval, it authorized my credit card to buy a dozen eggs for a whopping $31.43. I was a little frazzled when I realized what had happened: a bad AI decision had cost me real money.

Uh-oh AI: Operator, the new 'helper' agent from OpenAI, bought 12 eggs without my permission. And it paid $32 for them!

I test a lot of new tech. This is the first time a rogue computer cost me real-world $$.

the other day i got a dog doodled on my cup and thought “aww my barista loves me”

but now I see it was just a part of a corporate turnaround and it has made me mad

i have redneck neighbors who like to fly their drone and set off fireworks way too low - and i get the impression this sort of system would make for a fantastic use case scenario :D

incidentally, the packets that come out of dji aircraft contain its airspeed, altitude, coordinates etc etc >:D

muahahhaa
let me know if you need a guineapig :D

give me a dump1090 style google map overlay that I can attach, and then help me figure out a way to insert that into home assistant, so that when the neighbors fly shit, i can get push notifications to my phone with a map tile screenshot >:D

yes. i want this.

Hey @wyden.senate.gov @aoc.bsky.social ... WTF??

I should get a coat of arms with the motto "No one likes it when I'm right"

all the people are waiting for the politicians to do something, but the politicians .. just.. dont.. wanna?

i hope all the insider trading was worth it

hes gotta at least PRETEND he cares.
if he gives up the game, the shuffle him out and his insider trading career is over!

'i dont care who surveils me or if my data gets leaked just so long as i dont have to think about stuff or make decisions'

as someone who has begged the public for 15 years to even try to care a little, and watched them actively care less, youve nailed it.

alert fatigue, massive orgs lying to congress and getting away with it, equifax, cambridge analytica, opm, the list goes on and on.

they all value convenience as #1

I'm seeing SO many people who are basically resigned to the whole thing because big corporations have been losing people's SSNs, addressed, birthdates, etc in data breaches for well over a decade, always with little to no consequences. So people are conditioned to think it's no big deal.

oh fuck
i glanced at the news
