A hacker has taken responsibility for last week's University of Pennsylvania "We got hacked" email incident, saying it was a far more extensive breach that exposed data on 1.2 million donors and internal documents.

In the end, the company's lawsuit likely cost them some serious time and cash (while generating a bit of unnecessary bad publicity)
10M people watched a YouTuber shim a lock; the lock company sued him. Bad idea.
It’s still legal to pick locks, even when you swing your legs.

Okay, it's time. I have a prized Cult of the dead cow Zippo lighter. These simply do not exist anywhere. But a CDC member is hurting and I want to encourage donations to the GoFundMe, so out it goes. Details in thread.

Wait till they start generating videos of mass shooters in cctv style with them wearing political shirts and pushing it within minutes of a mass shooting on Twitter. This is absolutely corrosive to any sort of trust in society.
OpenAI employees are very excited about how well their new AI tool can create fake videos of people doing crimes and have definitely thought through all the implications of this
