I wrote a dad joke today in a similar vein.

Trion Lannister is turned by the Night King into the walking dead. As they march south, Tyrion keeps complaining about joint pain.

The Night King says, "What's all that complaining back there?"

"Sorry boss, I'm just a little stiff."

@georgetakei yeah it is. It is time for the younger generation. Said as an X. This is something that I know is hard to understand for many boomers. But it is good to pass on the baton when it is time.

Glaze—a tool protecting artists from AI—bypassed by attack as demand spikes

Artists must wait weeks for Glaze defense against AI scraping amid TOS updates.

@arstechnica This was never going to work. The sensible way to defend against AI-generated images is to have traceability of non-AI images, back to a human who can show the original file and say "I made this".

Swarm of dusty young stars found around our galaxy’s central black hole

Stars shouldn't form that close to the black hole, so these would need explaining.

@georgetakei If you’re doing live performance, you need to adapt to things going wrong. I once saw a guitar play break a string and keep playing without interruption and then quickly retuned to finish the set. Not expecting that level of skill always, but expecting the performer not to freak out.

@rbreich How about Harris and Biden switch places. He’s still in the picture, she projects strength and confidence—it’s a modern power move for both and everybody wins.

@arstechnica What is amazing to me is that the software responsible - the system by which the phishing email gave the bad guys control - is never mentioned.

Systems that are this vulnerable should be banned from these kinds of businesses. e.g. "All banks have 6 months to remove vendor X from all banking systems."

Furthermore, were all of their backups also encrypted? Is so - how? How do you fail this badly at system security?

I have multiple layers of security on my systems. Backups can be added - so, a compromised system could upload an encrypted (not by me) backup.

But it cannot remove previous backups which would mot be ransomewared*. None of the systems doing backups have that kind of access.

This is almost trivial to set up. How are these companies failing so badly at this???

  • Is "ransomewared" a word? Well it is now.

@georgetakei she's right. That's so gross. Such a ridiculous broadcasting decision to put them in that position.

This is probably one of the worst case scenarios but they're all kinds of innocent sports fans falling victim to the cameras anymore for a variety of reasons and being turned into memes and whatnot.

TLDR - show fans more respect ESPECIALLY women fans when you damn well know what's going to happen on interpretation.
