When I think of accessibility, I find it plausible that it’s not just convenient but essential or necessary for some people.

“smart” device

Those patent ideas sound like trivial obvious thought. Why were they approved?

I’m still not sure how I feel about it.

That’s because machines don’t have feelings. /s

This seems like an overgeneralization. Just like they do, you do here.

What even are their policies and community guidelines for? Just publicity. Or as a tool in other cases. Corrupt liars.

Build one without RAM and without storage.

I’m surprised there’s not widespread sabotage of stuff like this yet.

The Army employee says they have not found the generative AI tools to be particularly useful for their work, and that when they have used the tools, they have found them to be unreliable.

Ran out of unlimited tokens for this?

This seems to be only about the administrative branch and for unclassified information. From the title, I was thinking of the Iran operation at first.

Taking this claim specifically:

No they let you opt out of sharing data with the hundreds 3rd parties they share your data with…by clicking reject next to each of their names on another page…

Hidden options are not “informed consent that is freely given”.

You think/Are you saying they’re late because of the layoffs? Or is that the norm for Oracle?

Yeah, the article framing is misleading. The title specifically.

Sane regulation. You like to see it.

$7 billion required collateral. , $100 million annually, $15 billion

Oracle’s argument of “this investment is worth $15 billion” is not only entirely besides the point, which the regulating government office rightfully refuses, but "‘worth’ in your state or city is entirely pointless if it incurs not that amount of local public gain but only public cost. It’s a stupid, misleading argument.

I’m really interested in what that 21k employee loss mean in practice. In a hype-craze it’s probably not sane restructuring and letting go of unneeded personal and inefficiencies, I assume.

As it often is, the source has more information, and significantly so. I also find it much easier and more informative to read. Simple direct speech, headlines, more concrete on what is exposed, more technical details, etc.

They didn’t just send one email to report the vulnerability.

and on January 3rd I emailed nine people: the general info address, six individual staff members at clicktopray.org, and two contacts at popesprayer.va (the Pope’s Worldwide Prayer Network). No response. From any of them.

For July they have three entries of ‘reported to Journalist’ (“Dark Reading”), journalist contacted the Pope’s Worldwide Prayer Network, and ‘still no response’.

They also posted an update about it being fixed on 2026-07-24 that it has been fixed.

The authorization check is there now: request your own user ID and you still get your email back, request someone else’s and you get a public profile. Names are supposed to be public on a platform where you pray alongside other people, so what’s left is what was always meant to be visible.

I also never got an email. Not an acknowledgment, not a thank you, not a “we’ve addressed this.”

Given that The Register posted this article on 2026-07-24 22 UTC it must have been very unfortunate timing. Presumably they didn’t check the source again before pressing publish? And also haven’t noticed or bothered to include an information update.

I thought they were known for keeping things under the rug/hidden. Only priest’s not follower’s personal data I guess.

From the source blog post, which has the update

If sinners go to hell, do you even have to do due diligence? Let us pray for the vulnerability to disappear.

Damn, with that many people praying these prayers are about to get real effective. I’m surprised we haven’t heard of their effects and effectiveness yet.
