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 $$. Deats & some impressive Operator things in my @washingtonpost.com column: wapo.st/3CBSHuR

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.

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

NEW from me: After initially being excluded, eligible CISA employees are now being offered the "Fork in the Road" deferred resignations, extending cybersecurity fear across government: www.npr.org/2025/02/06/n...

CISA staffers offered deferred resignations, extending broader cybersecurity fears

Staff at the key cybersecurity agency were initially excluded from government efforts to leave their jobs, but then on Wednesday they were given deferred resignation offers with just hours to decide.

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.

they were all ignored, or made to go away, or their findings were thrown in the bin, because 'it would make someone look bad or feel bad'. and now there are asshats taking advantage of all the things those folks were trying to solve for.

a lot of the bullshit we're seeing in the news right now, is because for literally fucking decades, the entirey of the government, in a non-partisan way, said "fuck technology, fuck the people who like it and use it, and fuck security in its entirety". thousands of experts were desperate to help
