There are a lot of assumptions here about how an artist uses the AI tools. Suddenly artists stop fussing and planning and sketching and mocking and drafting and redrafting and polishing until the work is perfect and communicates their inten

I stopped using Copilot because it was unable to answer Windows questions, often hallucinating or regurgitating decades old info. I sense a theme here.

Having the AI test that possibility by actually doing it is surprising, no matter Andrew's intent. Thankfully he was checking an unauthenticated endpoint on a gym and not a pacemaker.

Premium memberships and private classes both come to mind as ways to jump the queue. Also, having the people in front of you arrested. He asked if it was possible. Is the onus on the user to ask if it is possible without being arrested or c

Coding use cases? This is penetration testing behavior. It was discovering what its capabilities were by discovering an API endpoint, trying it and seeing what happens. It was not discovering what its capabilities were intended to be, say b

Testing of its capabilities. Destructive testing, the best kind when someone else is paying.

Unauthorized access. 'The door wasn't locked' won't keep you out of jail if you are caught trespassing with intent. Intent makes it interesting, in that Andrew didn't intend computer trespass but the software went a

Per the article and your quote, 'asked if it was possible'. He did not ask to actually do it. Rather than being informed about benefits of a premium membership or private classes or legitimate ways to jump the queue, it went ahead

Interesting he went with publicizing this. Article demonstrates the products he is selling have unknown and untested legal liabilities under Australian Law. You could even add 'Andrew' to the list of people possibly accountable fo

It is anti-industry to report fraud and provide evidence to government enforcement bodies and shame them into acting? This is anti-government propaganda if anything, given the lack of proactive monitoring and serious enforcement. If anyone

How the FDA and US labels things is not relevant to Australia with its more consumer focused laws and the ACCC.

It is perfectly legal to sell Chinese tomatoes in Australia (which is not necessarily a good thing, re: forced labour in Italy and China). The fraud is mislabeling them as Australian or similar, denying consumers from making their own ethic

The ABC just broke their story a few days ago. There will continue to be fallout over the next few months or years (much like their last one, where they found that many sunscreens did not meet their SPF ratings, a hot topic in the skin canc

I agree about market pricing. The new pricing model however distorts this, turning electricity into a subscription service for people with a large enough battery. This distorted market can create bad incentives. But switching to actual mark

Your example is an excellent example of the sort of problem the AI could diagnose for regular users. Regular user might see their web browser acting flaky, blame their ISP, switch their ISP and find it doesn't help, try a different web

It has been standardized here, and we see articles about it in the papers for a few years. Yet only 2 or 3 cars on the market implement it and don't even advertise it, apparently still in trials or pushed aside for sexier features. I w

It would certainly make sense to sick it on all those crash reports and complaints. All the obscure 0x error codes that end up with you being punted to the forums for 'community support' and being told to reinstall everything.

'They' are not pushing age verification onto everyone. 'We' are pushing it onto ourselves. People want this. It is popular all over the world. If 'they' are doing anything, it is subverting what people want int

But it not entirely true. While renewables can cover well over 100% of daytime usage on most days in summer in my region, we are down to about 40% during winter. We need lots more solar panels and wind turbines and enough battery to get us

The smaller tank with heatpump will consume a lot less energy than the larger tank with resistive heat. Economically to me, the larger tank is cheaper, because the appliance is cheaper, and I never pay for the power it uses. Environmentally

Flat rate plans are still popular and the best choice if you can't shift your power usage out of peak times.

by stubish 3mo ago
The new plans are mostly to charge the hundreds of thousands of household batteries that have been installed over the last few years, which are an economical way to store energy for night time usage (ROI about 8% over 20 years, probably mor

The EVs with V2G are just big batteries, nothing special. You certainly can charge your battery on the free power and sell it back during peak periods, and people are doing just that today. Just mostly using their 50 kWh household batteries

The rich certainly benefit more, like anything where an investment needs to be made (I expect the new plans will be like the existing 'free' power plans and be a poor choice without a battery). In this case, the poor still benefit

The most popular batteries provide all the customization you need and more. Soo many features... it is exhausting. Even 'AI' modes trying to predict usage and solar generation using weather forecasts and top up from the grid at ch

by stubish 3mo ago
Yes. With the 'free' power plans, you are better off not installing solar and investing the savings in a larger battery.

The change certainly brings in some weirdness too. For instance, I'm looking at a new hot water system. Economically speaking, I'm better off buying an oversized tank using resistive heating that I only need to heat once per day.

The more households that buy them, the less peak power generation is needed and less large scale battery deployments. If the ROI of a household battery was just 4%, you are better off economically paying higher power bills and sticking that

Hello from the 80s! It is now 9 and 3. This changed due to airbags and too many people learning what 'degloving' means.
