The first data breach (that we know of) because of the age verification nonsense in the Online Safety Bill most certainly won't be the last.

@coasterkaty.com Morning Katy, I found your PaperCut/Paxton blog post and have an SCR708 on the way. Can you remember if you had this configured to present the same 8-digit number to the printer as is recorded in Net2, or did you go with the card UID? Thanks

I feel like "$10bn of Azure's revenue in 2025 is OpenAI's profit-free-or-maybe-even-a-loss-compute" and "AI labs don't even know why they're hiring people" should be bigger and more worrying stories for the tech/biz press
Buried within this piece is probably the most damning part of any AI hiring story I've ever read: despite all of this incredible hiring with all of this money sloshing around, even the big labs don't even know what specialties actually help make the models better. Amazing!

I really have to do something on Builder.ai, but I’ve honestly just been kicking back and enjoying it while chatting to reporters about it as it continues. fake business, an insane and obvious fraud, that also possibly did flagrant round tripping with a firm invested in by Google/Meta/Goldman Sachs

Most of Musk’s ire towards Wikipedia stems from his anger that articles about him do not repeat his own attempts to write his personal and professional history.
![Personal grievances
While these days Musk frames his crusade against Wikipedia as a principled stand against bias, the timeline of his complaints reveals a more personal motivation. His earliest grievances targeted his own Wikipedia biography, which accurately but much to his chagrin describes him as an “early investor” in Tesla rather than a founder.31h He’s also complained about the Tesla article, which he gripes “glorif[ies]” one of Tesla’s actual founders.32 He has repeatedly claimed his Wikipedia article was written by his “enemies”,3334 and has joined his fans’ complaints about the portion of his Wikipedia page outlining his role in spreading misinformation, bigotry, and conspiracy theories, agreeing with one who suggested “someone paid to have this written”.35 He has boasted so often363738 that has has not tried to “curate” his Wikipedia biography (by which he seems to mean edit it himself, or pay someone to do so on his behalf) that I wonder if he doth protest too much. (As a very highly-watched Wikipedia page, attempts by Musk or his lackeys to insert false or unverifiable portions of the autohagiography he repeats elsewhere would likely meet considerable resistance, as demonstrated by the battles between Musk fanboys — hired or otherwise — and Wikipedia editors that rage in the edit history and talk page.) This grandstanding rings hollow given his track record: when faced with unfavorable coverage elsewhere, Musk has shown no hesitation to exert direct control through legal threats and pressure campaigns.
h.
One of Tesla’s actual founders, Martin Eberhard, sued Musk in 2009 after Musk began claiming responsibility for the company’s earliest accomplishments and disparaging Eberhard. While a confidential settlement earned Musk the right to use the “founder” moniker without fear of future legal action from Eberhard, it did not rewrite history. However, the outcome of the settlement is mentioned in Musk’s Wikipedia biography.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:exrxvyu6bpoym6mbnctke5tn/bafkreiftp55e6q4pbk24c3a7xsftff2jzc754bdjh4wqdz6wevodu2w7s4@jpeg)
