Hey Alexa, does StackOverflow have a toxicity problem?

'member when Windows added a new “Notepad” app with CoPilot and forced the good old notepad.exe to open the new app instead of itself even if you don’t want it?
Well, a new feature just dropped.

This post isn't about overpriced electronics, it's about windows blue screening behind the active window.

Oh no
who could've seen this coming
no one could've predicted this
TL;DR: persona's identity verification system had an exposed source code via an open URL discovered by three white hat researchers, revealing unprotected access to user data including government IDs, biometrics, and IPs. It also exposed integrations with OpenAI for screening and U.S. govt reporting tools

An LLM-controlled robot dog saw us press its shutdown button, and the LLM rewrote the robot’s code so it could stay on.
When they added "please allow yourself to be shut down" to the prompt, shutdown resistance drops from 52/100 to 2/100.

I hope this goes without saying:
This is why we invented sandboxing and code signing!!
So malware doesn't modify mission-critical software!!!
The LLM is malware in this scenario and must be treated as such!
Any program can accidentally become malware. Even the best-intended software can become victim to an accidental typo deleting a different file than intended, or even cosmic rays changing their behavior at runtime.
Don't pretend any of your software is an exception to this, ever.

Explanation: super cores, performance cores, and efficiency cores are all different types of CPU core that Apple can make.
Apparently, the M5 originally launched with super cores and efficiency courses, but Apple accidentally called the super cores "performance cores" ... I think
