Looks like the Times of India broke the original story based on Benioff’s podcast comments:
“According to CNBC, CEO Marc Benioff revealed in a podcast that Salesforce had trimmed its support workforce from 9,000 to about 5,000 people through AI deployment. The company later clarified that it had “successfully redeployed hundreds of [those] employees into other areas like professional services, sales, and customer success.”
How could this possibly be better than Netflix’s recommendation engine or even just asking chatgpt?
Ok I see a lot if discussion on this topic but no one seems to have mentioned the main feature of the spec that makes them phishing resistant: presence detection. This is what makes FIDO resistant to credential replay. The spec is not perfect but it prevents most common phishing attacks.
TP Link is just as bad at security as most other consumer electronics vendors:
That makes sense. It is interesting to read the original blog post from Wikimedia:
https://diff.wikimedia.org/2025/10/17/new-user-trends-on-wikipedia/
and what they say you can do if you want to help:
"Active volunteers can further help meet this moment by working with Wikimedia Foundation teams to test out new experiences and tools on Wikipedia. As the internet changes rapidly, this is a moment to consider what parts of Wikipedia should change (and what parts should not), while staying true to the promise of human-centered, free knowledge for the world.
A specific area where volunteers can help is with our new readers teams. We welcome you to review the current experiments we are running and help us answer key questions about what will most help readers. Please join the readers teams on their talk page and sign up for their newsletter to share your thoughts and learn more about their work. We’ll also be reaching out to communities soon with both live and on-wiki ways to talk about these trends, and what they mean for the Wikimedia projects."
Every time someone visits Wikipedia they make exactly $0. In fact, it costs them money. Are people still contributing and/or donating? These seem like more important questions to me.
There is definitely a bubble. But also what Nvidia is doing is smart. They have boatloads of cash. They are investing that cash in the companies that are using their products to create money making services. If one of them can create a killer app or viable service this will create demand for their products and they will have an ownership stake in it. Is this guaranteed or even likely? Probably not. We have reached the point where we were in 1996 where the chairman of the fed came out and said we are in a period of “irrational exuberance.” That bubble took four more years to pop. This one may end quicker, but it is impossible to tell when it will end or what will come out of it from where we sit today.
This is stupid. As an IT administrator a quick glance at my logs shows that everyone is using ChatGPT. No one cares about Copilot.
edit: So I guess the point is that IT admins are frustrated that Copilot for users in an org is $30 per month vs $10 per month for a home user. Again, I don’t buy it. If I think of all the ways MS is screwing me, this is not high on the list. Microsoft’s predatory bundling practices have driven the cost of their services to a ridiculous point, well before this Copilot noise.
The relevant bits:
Pieter Arntz, a malware intelligence researcher at Malwarebytes, has issued a timely July 16 reminder that “scammers are impersonating Amazon in a Prime membership scam.”
The cause of Arntz’s reminder, and the underlying Amazon warning to all 220 million Prime customers, however, was a spike in email attacks claiming that subscription rates are about to rise, along with a cancel subscription button that would lead to Prime account credential theft.
So you’re saying the ad driven internet will die? And we will be left with what? Wikipedia and Lemmy? I for one welcome our AI overlords!
I love Lemmy and Voyager and the Fediverse. That said, if it were to become mainstream I forsee some problems. The fact that the login relies on only passwords is pretty terrible. Also, this makes the service vulnerable to bots, sock puppet accounts, brigading, etc.
Looks like this happened:
OpenSSH server has had built-in support for WebAuthn keys since 8.2.
What type of key do you have. Yubikey 5 supports multiple protocols including some you can use with SSH:
SSH would need to implement webauthn to support FIDO.
While there is no system for monitoring the companies, experts can reverse engineer the apps and debug the devices. Thusfar, experts who have done this have found no evidence of these types of activities. All the evidence is anecdotal. I believe if this was a widespread practice, evidence would have been uncovered by now and we would have been reported on widely.
The implication here is really scarier than if they were listening to our conversations. It means they do not need to listen to our conversations. The telemetry they already have is so good that in many cases they know what you will say with such high degrees of accuracy that people assumed that they had to be spying on their conversations.
Either way, we need to demand an end to this unprecedented mass surveillance.
I got ISDN from work in 1995. MSN was my ISP for some reason. It was glorious! In FPS shooters I had a 30 ping while everyone else had 200. I was a beast !
I do not disagree, but I was surprised when it claimed to have consciousness and that AI should have rights.
You should name it Hawk, so people can call it Hawk-Tui.
Yes, but no.
The source code for Netscape Navigator was open-sourced and has become Mozilla Firefox. The company Netscape is now a mostly defunct brand while Mozilla is a non-profit, public benefit company in service to the Mozilla Foundation, and the Mozilla community.
TLDR: US forced everyone to pass anti-circumvention laws by threatening tariffs. Now that the US has unilaterally imposed tariffs on everyone, why not repeal those laws?
