This is absolutely nuts: hackers are hijacking high-profile Instagram accounts by simply asking Meta's AI chatbot to change the email on the account. Meta's AI does it, hacker gets password reset code, they're in. A staggering security issue www.404media.co/hackers-simp...

- UC Berkeley Law will bar AI from conceptualizing, outlining, drafting, revising, translating, or editing any work submitted for credit starting Summer 2026.

Someone tell me if I'm wrong, but this kind of vertical integration seems like a troubling indicator for an already overhyped and overleveraged AI market. Also, I really liked @huggingface.bsky.social as an independent entity.

Huh. Apparently my work is among the top 2% weightiest of the people whose work informs LLMs. Not as weighty as Taylor Swift, Barack Obama or Adolf Hitler (!), but I guess that means you get a little bit of me every time you query a chatbot. Check your own weightiness: inthewe…

- Joey Flynn and Thomas Dimson, both former OpenAI employees, built the site, which launched in June 2026.
- The tool queries models including GPT-5.5, Claude Opus 4.8, Gemini, Grok, and Llama, scoring recognition up to a maximum of 996.
- Appearing in a 1-billion-parameter model like Meta's Llama signals especially high relevance, because smaller models compress knowledge more aggressively.
