Why indeed. How very convenient that their all-powerful AI, which was only constrained by the most basic "sandbox" imaginable, managed to find a way to break out of it and "hack" a bunch of websites in a way that could b

Are you speaking purely out of principle, or do you truly believe it makes sense in this particular case? Personally, I just can't imagine anyone paying a monthly fee just to access metadata for Steam games and nothing else. At least

Knowing Nexus, I do expect some manner of censorship, though the exact form this censorship will take remains to be seen. I genuinely wouldn't be surprised if they started taking payments from game publishers to hide historical player

Okay, so go ahead and replace it. Even if we ignore the whole historical data aspect of SteamDB, you may find that accurately tracking and storing as much data as possible for hundreds of thousands of apps on Steam may not be as easy as it

Yes, it does. None of this information changes the fact that, on a fresh install of Ubuntu Server 24+, the default user can privilege escalate to root using a few LXD commands. https://starlabs.sg/blog/2026/06-old-

Ubuntu has the exact same vulnerability, except with lxd instead of docker, but for some reason, it's considered working as intended. On a fresh install of Ubuntu Server, the first user created is part of the lxd group, can install lxd

Probably not what the author intended, but to me, this represents a great argument against the somewhat frequent claim that "AI writing patterns reflect human writing patterns". Rather, AI writing is distinctly not human, and is
