Trust us, we know everything there is to know about AI… (Does that make them more vulnerable to lawsuits after an AI failure?)

Trump Administration Refuses to Release Information on AI Testing Framework

The Trump administration declined to produce key documents related to its voluntary AI testing framework, despite an agreement struck in September with the nonprofit Protect Democracy Project after a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit. In a letter sent to the nonprofit on Friday by the White House’s Office of the National Cyber Director and shared with The Information, the Trump administration’s FOIA office cited national security and commercial exemptions to argue that it did not have to share a full draft of the framework, as well as related documents including records of companies and other organizations allowed early access to frontier AI models. The letter did provide some details on the White House’s “trusted partner” program, as well as the scope of the framework.





Toward a safer Internet? Only if patching keeps pace…

AI Vulnerability Finding

A comment:

3% of ‘critical’ software security bugs, in all of recorded history, have been found in the last month. This is on pace to find another ~100,000 bugs this year alone, adding ~26% more vulnerabilities to the all time total. Do you realize how fucking insane that is?

Yes. It is a new world out there.





A human failure. The freezer models are known, all you had to do was disconnect the Internet.

Shop freezers in six European countries hit by suspected cyber-attack

Dozens of supermarkets across six European countries have been hit by a suspected cyber-attack affecting their refrigerators and freezers.

Around 40 Delhaize supermarkets in Belgium and Luxembourg were affected, while a smaller number of shops were hit in Sweden, Ireland, the Netherlands and Estonia.

Sabcobel, a Belgian company that manufactures some of the affected refrigerators, said the units' evaporators were switched to defrost mode causing them to warm up, in what is believed to be the same method used in last month's incident that hit hundreds of French supermarkets.
