Fake interviews also use social engineering tricking people to accept interview requests at short notice, so that they maximize the chances they'll be connected from work.

My employer allows personal computing equipment at work, but has a separate, completely isolated network they connect to. You're never allowed to connect them to the company network.

This is pretty interesting given that the entire video game industry, indie developers excluded, suffers from a serious case of sequalitis.

Sorry I cant help you build GTA VII; I can only build original games - you are just trying to recreate GTA VI

The good thing is that you can keep the free credit monitoring services running until you die, because inevitably a new security breach will offer you free credit monitoring before the previous one expires. /s

I think I currently have two overlapping ones going.


You off-source it to Anthropic, of course.

I think a better solution would be to force retailers to submit accurate pricing information to price comparison aggregators preferably in real-time straight from their inventory system, and give consumers easy access to live price comparison data. If everyone knew how much your retailer is screwing with you, surveillance economy would cease to exist.

I'm pretty sure Attorney Generals will also join the fray in due time.

This crap needs to be shut down hard.


I don't know a single company where an executive would be downloading training data themselves.

The only exception would be a very small startup, which isn't the case here, or all IT, admin and engineering staff told the company they aren't doing anything illegal for Zuckerberg. That's not going to happen at Meta either.

Maybe an ethically bankrupt company with a "move fast and break things" ethos looking for exactly the plausible deniability your comment hints at?

Well now I'm hoping this makes it to a courtroom, so that the plaintiffs can ask, on the court record and under penalty of perjury, exactly what he was using that quantity of pornography for.
