When I first started reading this I though,t “is this really news, this issue has been around for years…” but then it gets interesting - kudos to the researchers on this one!

One of the most underrated apps for the iPhone is Shortcuts - it can create some really powerful outcomes, in just a few steps. For example, this 3-step Shortcut allows you to use the share screen to summarise a whole variety of content (web pages straight from Safari, files, etc) with ChatGPT
I’m excited to share our research on the “whoAMI” attack. We discovered that AWS customers pulling AMI IDs insecurely could accidentally use malicious images instead of the legitimate ones— leading to remote code execution.

Detailing the discovery and impact of the whoAMI cloud image name confusion attack, which could allow attackers to execute code within AWS accounts due to a vulnerable pattern in AMI retrieval.
Strange how the history of the world has changed so dramatically, and perhaps the downward slope started with a seemingly humorous (at the time) lawsuit forcing Musk to buy Twitter… I wonder what state the world would be in now if this hadn’t have happened? arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

@alastaircampbell2.bsky.social loving the podcast, but for balance, think you should invite @edzitron.com to be interviewed, to give an alternative view of AI :)
PSA: shop around for insurance at *every* renewal!
Car insurance renewal received: up 50% from the best price I got last year. Spent about 30 mins looking, found a new provider that comes in at 10% less than last year's price (almost half of the renewal price from the current provider).
Sort of breaking the rules by adding a comment, but the version I read when I was a kid only had three parts.
If you’ve not read it in the last 10 years or so, there is a new “ending” that’s pretty thought-provoking…
