We just found out our AI has been making up analytics data for 3 months and I’m gonna throw up.
Support
So we’ve been using an AI agent since November to answer leadership questions about metrics. It seemed amazing at first fast answers, detailed explanations, everyone loved it.
I just found out it’s been hallucinating numbers this entire time.
Our VP of sales made territory decisions based on data that didn’t exist. Our CFO showed the board …

»Hunderte verseuchte Skills — Angreifer schleusen Trojaner in KI-Agent OpenClaw ein:
Hunderte Skills für den KI-Agenten OpenClaw enthielten Trojaner und Datendiebe. OpenClaw und VirusTotal reagieren mit einer Partnerschaft. Doch das grundlegende Sicherheitsproblem von KI-Agenten bleibt.«
Ich behaupte mal, die KI an sich ist ein Sicherheitsproblem in der IT, denn das ist der Virus.

Toiling in the #SpamAssassin dungeons today...
It's ridiculous how many bots are still hitting our RuleQA, mostly with referrer-free “detail” URLs, which I made trivial to answer (403) many months ago. Not enough to be a problem, just about 1k-hits per hour. Spread all around the net: latest 1000 hits came from 967 different IPs with 2 IPs accounting for all ofthe repeat visitors. 959…

Every few years, the tires on your car wear thin and need to be replaced.
But where does that lost tire material go?
The answer, unfortunately, is often waterways,
where the tiny microplastic particles from the tires’ synthetic rubber carry several chemicals that can transfer into fish, crabs and perhaps even the people who eat them.
Millions of metric tons of plastic waste enter the world’s oceans every year.
In recent times, tire wear particles have been found t…

Perplexity's answer to *Claw agents. Mac only. They position it as something you run on a dedicated Mac so it's always available, but it's all driven by the desktop. Probably because no one in their right mind should run it on their daily driver.

Good Morning #Canada
If you are tuning in for Canadian trivia and bad puns.... prepare to be disappointed. I'm once again hijacking my morning post to ask all Canadian Mastodonians for input.
Question for all MastoCanucks - how would you convince a politician or government dept/agency to join Mastodon? What are the key points that should be made to motivate our government accounts to make a move?
There will be lots of repetitive answers but feel free to expand on those. Also chime in on what questions or resources government accounts might need to successfully launch a Mastodon account (overcoming resistance). If you volunteer to help contact government individuals, what resources do you need to help support your efforts (enabling scale and shared purpose)?
Respond to this post and please boost for reach into all corners of Canada. Follow #MastoCanadaGOV for future updates. Remember, there are no bad ideas, just bad puns by yours truly.
