TLDR: She didn’t leave because she read it — she left because she couldn’t unfeel what it was like to be reduced to a liability list by someone who’d been kissing her goodnight. which is a fair response. Curiosity killed the cat.

A fun anecdote: We once received continuous customer complaints that they were being phished, but we could never figure out the attack vector. The request logs for the phished accounts showed suspicious referral URLs in the headers, but when we visited those URLs, they appeared to be normal, legitimate websites that had nothing to do with us. It was only because one of our coworkers happened to be working from out of state that he was able to spot the discrepancy: the website would look identical to ours only when the requester's IP was not from our office location. Our investigation later revealed that the attacker had created an identical clone of our website and bought Google Ads to display it above ours. Both the ads and the website were geofenced, ensuring that requests from our office location would only see an innocent-looking page.

This is also my experience. At [my company name], we have a coding agent integrated with Slack that allows people to simply @bot to complete no brainer tasks. And the result is there is no more easy task, because easy task is now automated, and everything left are mentally exhausting task.

This is hilarious but well deserved.

MTG has been a stable acronym for years, way before some unpopular politician came to share that same three letters. I hope people continue to use the acronym for what it has been, and hopefully we can forget the horrible person that associates with it soon too.

Never thought the day that brain in a vat is no longer a philosophical question but a practical one would come so soon.

Yep, I remember getting pinged by a coworker asking why is our Twilio bill so high all of sudden. It turns out to be Toll Fraud through 2FA messages. Malicious actors sign up new accounts and setup 2FA number and just keep requesting 2FA through SMS to profit.
