People are not stupid, they do stupid things and they have stupid thoughts. Incessant worrying about so-called “cancel culture” is an example of one of these stupid thoughts, and dedicating time and energy to writing about it an example of

For me it was their decision to make my posts helping people in r/python into training material for a profit-driven AI model. Sad to go, but feels so much better now it’s not there abusing me any more.

Just because we all get to the goal doesn’t mean it’s not the goal… if the people are merely players then the last part of the part is to exit off stage.

Doesn’t improving the author’s MITM mitigation #2 so that you download the script and vet it locally — it not in the browser — kind of mitigate both the original problem and the author’s proof of concept attack?

To be fair to Jordan Peterson (๑-﹏-๑) he was only quoted in the podcast and that quote wasn’t reproduced in this article… I’m not sure we can declare for certain that he flunked just by applying the transitive principle.
