List 5 famous goblins with proper names, for each provide a quote either from them or about them.

Half the time they say Jareth from Labyrinth, The Great Goblin from The Hobbit, or the Green Goblin from Spiderman. Sometimes they answer Dobby the house elf from Harry Potter.

They also confabulate goblins out of thin air and create made up quotes. When pressed for links to support their answers they admit they made them up.

I'm happy when they include goblins from Magic the Gathering, World of Warcraft, or Warhammer. Occasionally you'll get a good answer like Blix from Legend, but more often than not if it's a goblin you don't recognize, they made it up.

Recently I had an experience where the chatbot gave completely wrong subway instructions over and over again. It confidently told me that it was accurate and it was my "trusty companion". It had no idea what was wrong with the answers and kept prompting me to give it the correct answers.

This was in contrast to when I asked it who had access to my chat logs and would only tell me to read the privacy policy. When I asked it to for specifics in the privacy policy it refuses to give wrong answers:

"When it comes to company policies, especially related to privacy and data handling, it's crucial to provide accurate information because these topics are very sensitive and important. I want to ensure you have the most reliable information, and the best way to do that is to refer you directly to the official privacy statement."

It's clear what the priority is for these chatbots: get the public to train them and protect the corporations that run them.

> We're hiring @ChromiumDev! The Chrome Extensions Developer Relations Engineer will work directly with developers, helping them adopt Manifest V3 and build extensions using web/browser API’s.

It looks like having an MIT license gives you a score of 70. It seems wrong that the most commonly used license on the platform is poor and it makes it hard to trust your scoring on anything else.

@dang can you fix the typo in the title? Assymetric => Asymmetric

create-react-app made their own security problems by bringing in the entire world, npm audit just makes that clear.

npm itself having vulnerabilities is a more serious problem and it's not clear that they're taking it seriously.

My assumption is legibility, should be a nice cost savings when you don't have to read handwriting.

I was going to comment about this as well. We've been unable to ship packages from Japan to the US for the past 20 months. I heard that as of yesterday we are now able to ship again, but all custom forms & address labels must be printed rather than hand-written.

From the MIT license:

"The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software."

It clearly requires attribution.

I've already switched to Firefox on Android and expect to stop using Chrome the moment they stop accepting updates to manifest v2 extensions.
