> break Elon Musk on the fucking wheel. The level of wealth he has attained would make him an existential threat to democracy even if the United States had reasonable campaign-finance laws, which it does not, and even if Musk were not, personally, an open and explicit enemy of pluralism, of the rule of law, and of racial and gender equality, which he is. As things stand, he is, in literal and fundamental terms, incompatible with a functional and functioning society.

It took me a while to remember the details, but this reminds me of that time Spoutible was returning all your profile information, and your password hash, in their API responses: https://www.troyhunt.com/how-spoutibles-leaky-api-spurted-out-a-deluge-of-personal-data/

Looking at https://pds.ls/at://did:plc:am3r5ugi44s26fwouvel7mrz/eu.wsocial.verification.record (hover over individual did-plc-xxxx items) shows multiple records with “nationality”, “givenNames”, “familyNames”, and “birthDateApprox” fields, and which WS accounts those are associated with. cool cool cool.

Apparently, during signup (which requires your real ID) you get an option to “display real name and age publicly”, and if you do, your nationality, real name, and age (offset by < ±1 year) are included in the data that is accessible to anyone, even people without a WS account, and to any scraper bots who care to look.

WS claims this is “public by design” and works as intended.

Exciting is a bad word in systems administration.

Artists opposed to AI built a social network/art sharing platform called Cara.

Some sloperator apparently scraped it and all the other pixel salad enjoyers are ecstatically laughing their asses off.

( Original reddit post has apparently been deleted, but the founder of Cara has tweeted about this incident quite a bit: https://nitter.net/zemotion )

To put 7.65 GW in context, Lithuania had a nuclear power plant generating 2.6 GW (and we shut it down twenty years ago).
