After Backlash, ChatGPT Removes Option to Have Private Chats Indexed by Google OpenAI deletes the option to publish conversations to search engines because it 'introduced too many opportunities for folks to accidentally share things they didn't intend to,' it says.

Apparently, that same interaction had already been noticed and shared by @pcmag.com www.pcmag.com/news/be-care...

At one point the user expresses the intention of "scaring them hard" in Denver. The AI is 100% onboard with that.

There's some crazy and potentially dangerous stuff in the #ChatGPT conversations available through search engines. For example, in this conversation a self-identified veteran with clear mental issues is driven deeper and deeper into rabbit holes of crazier and crazier conspiracies.

The Secretary of State of a government that has repeatedly harassed Americans for exercising their free speech rights just announced "a new visa restriction policy that will apply to foreign officials and persons who are complicit in censoring Americans."

This is aimed at Europe and Brazil.

Mysterious hacking group Careto was run by the Spanish government, sources say | TechCrunch The elusive hacking group Careto was never publicly linked to a specific government, but TechCrunch has learned researchers concluded privately that the Spanish government was behind the group.

NEW: More than a decade ago, Kaspersky discovered a mysterious "elite" hacking group it called Careto (aka “The Mask”), which then vanished and only resurfaced last year.

We can now reveal that the researchers who investigated it were confident that the Spanish government was behind it.

Trump Administration Plans to Send Migrants to Libya on a Military Flight

I can't believe I need to say this, but the US should not even be considering deportations to Libya. Detention conditions in Libya are among the worst in the world. HRW and others have documented severe abuses in detention including killings under torture www.nytimes.com/2025/05/06/u...
