"We are aware of this issue and have shipped a new version of the application which encrypts these conversations," OpenAI spokesperson Taya Christianson says in a statement to The Verge. "We're committed to providing a helpful user experience while maintaining our high security standards as our technology evolves."

This is such a pure BS response from them.  "As technology evolves"?  Bullsh!t.  Some jackass over there made the conscious decision to do this, or out of sheer coding laziness.  There ought to be more consequence than just a typical "lol... sorry, my bad" on ChatGPT's part.  How's about banning them from MacOS for a year?  Something?

Developers like them give us all a bad rap.  When I'm looking for an app, if I see it hasn't been touched for seven years, I dismiss it right then and there.  This developer is just being lazy and would rather kick-and-scream and claim a faux-outrage than recompile their app.  I'm just so sick of these developers that have some elite belief that they have the standing to tell Apple what to do with Apple's hardware and software.  Screw them.

I still remember the countless news stories about some rogue malicious malware spreading in iPhones.  It was all over the news.  “Apple iPhone” hacked.

Waiting for the usual tech-nerds to start complaining next week on what's taking Apple so long to implement HDMI2.2 after being available for "the last few years".

*crunching popcorn*

Or complaining that can’t watch native 16K full resolution on their iPhone.

and at 360hz cuz "Android's been doing it for years"... 

There is no way in hell where I would use a 3rd-party system that will have my credit card# on file.  I trust Apple in keeping my info private.  That Epic Games is also Chinese-owned makes my decision even more correct.

This reminds me of the tests between MacBooks and Windows laptops.  The windows laptops are almost (or slightly faster) than MacBooks, but chokes completely when on battery only.

This was nothing more than a fishing-expedition for some pond-scum lawyer looking for a quick-buck.  Had the "victim" won, the next step would be an immediate cash-grab by the lawyer and file a class-action lawsuit where the big money is.

The level of stupidity among all positions of government is pathetic.

No need for a MacBook Pro redesign. It’s pretty much perfect in its most recent form. 

Hopefully m5 cranks things up. But the real story with be with m6. 

I hear the M10 chip is gonna have entangled qbits.  That’s worth waiting for. /s

"As we all continue to live in a world where so many factors have conditioned us to look before we leap,'" executive producer and star Sudeikis said in the release, "in season four, the folks at AFC Richmond learn to LEAP BEFORE THEY LOOK, discovering that wherever they land, it's exactly where they're meant to be."

What a bizarre message.  I predict this will continue the final season trajectory of the show to the absolute pits.

I got about 2 episodes into S3 and quit. Season 2 was already nowhere near season one - having the 50-something team owner sleeping with an early 20's player was a true WTF plot concept, and had it been man/woman instead of woman/man, that would have been quite differently handled - and 3 was just unwatchable.

OTOH, Slow Horses is excellent.

I stopped watching at the end of Season 2.  It was a mess and felt like they were just trying to ride off the popularity of season 1.  Have zero desire to watch season three and four.
