Have you ever heard the idiom "ambulance at the bottom of the cliff"?

Yeah this is cooked

I'm sick of this "rogue" label. Nothing "went rogue".

Incompetent company chasing wild valuation removed guardrails inside a improperly designed sandbox and - shock horror - recursive algorithm with access to the Internet did bad stuff.

These articles play into the AI labs hands. Stop giving them air.

Looks nice - really - but I wouldn't touch you till you got external validation of your security practices and shared more about what you do there on your FAQs. Encrypting access tokens is just table stakes. My finances are private and not to be trusted with just anyone. The folks you compare yourself to have that type of certification but it's not listed in the comparison.

Even a SOC type 1 would show you're on the journey.

I disagree. They did not grow up with technology in the same way we did. This is all still quite new to them, and I truly believe the ragebait strategy and polarisation is just as damaging as the tricks used to ensnare teenagers.

Some people might not mind (or even know), but I sleep better at night trying to work as ethically as I can.

Why won't companies explain what anonymisation means for them?

Unpopular opinion, perhaps - isn't this just tech looking for a problem to solve?

The fact that the apps I would actually care about having on real estate on my front room seem to be nowhere to be seen is kinda glaring from my perspective... I know there's a certain purism to having Firefox front and center... But really?
