Researchers are trying to collect data for training. I wonder how many examples they receive and how many are bogus. The microsoft chat experiment from a few months ago shows that people can hack these systems to train them into racist slu

I am not aware of other firms that were fined by the government for their negligence w.r.t to a breach. I would applaud the NC AG for pursuing this. Despite the small amount, it sets a precedent. The second time Adobe fails, I presume thei

Adobe's attitude towards security is mediocre, possibly irresponsible. They know that Flash is being phased out, so they invest no effort. For 2014--15, they relied on Google Project Zero to find and sometimes even fix their security
