Copilot exposes private GitHub pages, some removed by Microsoft
Microsoft’s Copilot AI assistant is exposing the contents of more than 20,000 private GitHub repositories from companies including Google, Intel, Huawei, PayPal, IBM, Tencent and, ironically, Microsoft.
#microsoft #copilot #ai #privacy #surveillance #enshittification #tech #github #softwaredevelopment
Apple is temporarily disabling its AI-generated news notifications, which were frequently error-filled, misleading or totally false @CNN reports. Alerts included fake stories that Luigi Mangione, who is charged with murdering the UnitedHealthcare CEO, had shot himself, and that Benjamin Netanyahu had been arrested.
So Builder . ai Mechanical Turked things and Microsoft (and others) were none the wiser.
Due diligence: boring stuff that when you skip it will catch up with you fast.
“Builder . ai’s platform relied on around 700 engineers based in India who manually wrote code based on customer requests. Despite the company marketing it as AI-generated, most of the work was done by humans behind the scenes.”

Following a Series of Government Hacks, Biden Closes Out His Administration With New Cybersecurity Order
—
The executive order follows a ProPublica investigation that found Microsoft prioritized profit over security, leaving the federal government vulnerable to the largest hack in U.S. history. Vendors must now demonstrate that their products are secure.

How Tech Company Recruiters Sidestep Trump’s Immigration Crackdown
—
Every Sunday, newspapers are full of ads for tech jobs that aren't really looking for applicants. They reveal an aspect of U.S. immigration law that hurts both domestic and foreign workers — yet has endured for decades.

Washington Governor Orders Team to Study Data Centers’ Impact on Energy Use, Job Creation and Tax Revenue
—
Last year, The Seattle Times and ProPublica reported on how the state created a massive tax break for data centers, encouraging the growth of an industry whose energy use conflicts with a goal for utilities to go carbon neutral by 2030.

Here is the beginning of the 3rd #thread on Elon Musk's takeover of the US government:
Elon Musk’s Demolition Crew
https://projects.propublica.org/elon-musk-doge-tracker/
"Musk’s team, known as the Dept of Govt Efficiency, has already thrown entire swaths of the federal #government & its programs into disarray — programs that serve millions of #Americans.
#Musk himself has made no secret of his intentions, saying that #DOGE is a “wood chipper for bureaucracy” and that he is “deleting” agencies."
Among the data used by Cambridge Analytica to profile gun owners in the database: income, debt, religious affiliation, whether they liked the paintings of Thomas Kinkade and whether the underwear women had purchased was plus size or petite.
