Azdoufal, demon lord of roombas
“When his homegrown remote control app started talking to DJI’s servers, it wasn’t just one vacuum cleaner that replied. Roughly 7,000 of them, all around the world, began treating Azdoufal like their boss.”
The DJI Romo robovac had security so poor, this man remotely accessed thousands of them
DJI may have fixed it now.

we have all suffered through automated phone tree hell for years, shouting "AGENT! AGENT! GDAMMIT!" in hopes of talking to a person & now the world is just begging for that experience to be extended into every realm of our lives, including interactions with physicians, teachers, etc.

I see the issue. When we said we would replace human workers with machines you assumed the machines would work. That's on you

I don't have anything in particular again Shaun White, but I think NBC grossly overestimates how much people love Shaun White

My take on this is that we have to seriously reckon with the fact that these models are getting extremely good at brief demos and clips, which has nothing to do with their ability to do what human labor does, but everything to do with convincing CEOs to adopt them
I understand why people are exhausted by AI hype, and why those of us squarely in the corner of "human dignity uber alles" see AI doomerism as self-serving hype, but I *really* think people on the left broadly need to start thinking seriously about the possibiltiy of the hype being...true.

dear peace monks, you don’t know me but DO NOT GET ON THAT BUS
Incredibly honored to welcome the Buddhist monks completing their Walk for Peace in Washington, D.C. this morning.
Their courage and compassion are a powerful reminder of what leadership should look like. May their journey challenge Congress to choose peace, dignity, and unity.

Man, I didn’t think there was a way for this story to get dumber but…
“DoD loaned the high-energy laser weapon to DHS, who promptly shot down some mylar balloons with it without telling anyone, resulting in the FAA closing airspace and disrupting air travel nationwide”
…sure did the trick
