you can see everything (67,600,000 separate web pages discussing elizabeth holmes, none of which have anything kind to say, versus 21 million results for osama bin laden, many of which are positive)
Her father-in-law's letter of support: "there are over 67,600,000 separate web pages discussing Elizabeth Holmes, I have yet to find one that has anything kind to say. To put this in perspective, Osama bin Laden has 21 million results, many of which are positive"
huh!

Even before the Saudi OpenAI employee was arrested yesterday, the startup had been warning staff to beware of people trying to glean work-related information from them--from honeypots to playground spies

Google's models hacked into real companies.
While we should be glad that Google's agent didn't cause further harm, I pushed back on the idea that this was business as usual. Agents hacking into real companies is serious and the public deserves to know.
More from @erinkwoo and @bobmcmillan in @WSJ:
Google said it didn't disclose the hacks because they didn't cause harm, and because the models stopped when they realized they accessed real companies. It's part of a broader conversation about how—and when— firms should disclose AI safety/security incidents.
