Have a cat.

The most sophisticated exploit we've ever seen.

Twitter AI is amazing. It took our satirical post about 'Stuxnet 2.0' and some mention of 'templates' into a serious trending post about cyberwarfare.

Kim Zetter, a journalist who has been discussing national security since the late 90's, and was one of the few people to discuss the United States 'Stuxnet' worm with her book 'Countdown to 0day', was baited by the Twitter AI

Kim, we love you, we're so sorry 😭😭

12 hours+ of Twitter AI not understanding satire and hallucinating

Today is the day of the rest. Enjoy your Sunday. Please ignore the crazy hallucinating artificial intelligence-thing.

Have a nice day.

Hot take: we don't want ChatGPT in our mouse. We just want a mouse – that's all.
