"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Has any data breach ever significantly hurt a company financially?
Hard to say, for sure, in each case. There's often plenty of factors that could have been key. Fuck-ups tend to fuck up in a variety of interesting ways.
An obvious seeming one is Roomba's infamous leaked person-on-toilet picture. I didn't stop buying Roomba because I doubted their engineering. It was their (lack of a) Privacy team.
