If you’re selling a car for tens of thousands of dollars & you don’t spend the two minutes thinking with security “what if this app gets hacked?” you might as well have a “please sue us” sign on top of the business.

There is zero chance they did not have the capability of resetting credentials / cutting access. If her account was compromised they must have had a way to do some level of reset or change. Who in the heck told her the solution was buy a new car and how were they authorized to do so?

If your AI agent did something it wasn't supposed to do tomorrow, would you even know? And if someone asked you to explain what happened three months later, could you? What systems did it access? What credentials did it use? What information did it retrieve? 1/4

One thing I find endlessly funny about the rise of AI is that it has revealed that there is a large number of people who believe that the reason they wrote essays at school or university is their teachers were desperately waiting for them to provide a definite answer to “Lear: what’s up with him?”

Oh, sure, when it can access / dox our sensitive data it’s “too bad, so sad”, but when it can get into Meta’s sensitive data…

The web and mobile apps of major conversational AI engines transmit prompts, titles and conversation permalinks to advertising data firms, alongside device IDs, hashed email and other persistent identifiers. Comprehensive analysis, like always from this team: jorgegarciaherrero.com/wp-content/i...

The low CAQ, going from majority to next to no seats is telling. Some voters support the other parties, but some are simply determined to vote anywhere but CAQ. PQ and Liberal are familiar parties in Quebec.

Victoria McIntosh @vmcntosh.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Curious / dread for this. On the one hand, lots of PQ support would suggest lots of support for a referendum. On the other hand, we know “Quebec is proud to be Canadian” is at the highest levels in years, and it’s entirely possible PQ voters went in that direction *despite* referendum talk.

Funniest possible cause of action for a data privacy violation lawsuit that deals a body blow to these companies is definitely "it scraped all our employer ID numbers to turn into de facto Groupons" both bc its so mundane sounding but also has huge financial implications

I understand that paywalls are annoying, but the grim reality for everything right now, is if you want something to exist, you have to put money towards it. Every creative person is having their life's work hoovered up by AI companies. Layoffs never end. Private equity keeps making things worse.
