Having the AI test that possibility by actually doing it is surprising, no matter Andrew's intent. Thankfully he was checking an unauthenticated endpoint on a gym and not a pacemak…

Premium memberships and private classes both come to mind as ways to jump the queue. Also, having the people in front of you arrested. He asked if it was possible. Is the onus on t…

Coding use cases? This is penetration testing behavior. It was discovering what its capabilities were by discovering an API endpoint, trying it and seeing what happens. It was not …

Testing of its capabilities. Destructive testing, the best kind when someone else is paying.

Unauthorized access. 'The door wasn't locked' won't keep you out of jail if you are caught trespassing with intent. Intent makes it interesting, in that Andrew didn't intend comput…

Per the article and your quote, 'asked if it was possible'. He did not ask to actually do it. Rather than being informed about benefits of a premium membership or private classes o…

Interesting he went with publicizing this. Article demonstrates the products he is selling have unknown and untested legal liabilities under Australian Law. You could even add 'And…

It is anti-industry to report fraud and provide evidence to government enforcement bodies and shame them into acting? This is anti-government propaganda if anything, given the lack…

How the FDA and US labels things is not relevant to Australia with its more consumer focused laws and the ACCC.

It is perfectly legal to sell Chinese tomatoes in Australia (which is not necessarily a good thing, re: forced labour in Italy and China). The fraud is mislabeling them as Australi…

The ABC just broke their story a few days ago. There will continue to be fallout over the next few months or years (much like their last one, where they found that many sunscreens …

I agree about market pricing. The new pricing model however distorts this, turning electricity into a subscription service for people with a large enough battery. This distorted ma…

Your example is an excellent example of the sort of problem the AI could diagnose for regular users. Regular user might see their web browser acting flaky, blame their ISP, switch …

It has been standardized here, and we see articles about it in the papers for a few years. Yet only 2 or 3 cars on the market implement it and don't even advertise it, apparently s…

It would certainly make sense to sick it on all those crash reports and complaints. All the obscure 0x error codes that end up with you being punted to the forums for 'community su…

'They' are not pushing age verification onto everyone. 'We' are pushing it onto ourselves. People want this. It is popular all over the world. If 'they' are doing anything, it is s…

But it not entirely true. While renewables can cover well over 100% of daytime usage on most days in summer in my region, we are down to about 40% during winter. We need lots more …

The smaller tank with heatpump will consume a lot less energy than the larger tank with resistive heat. Economically to me, the larger tank is cheaper, because the appliance is che…

Flat rate plans are still popular and the best choice if you can't shift your power usage out of peak times.

The new plans are mostly to charge the hundreds of thousands of household batteries that have been installed over the last few years, which are an economical way to store energy fo…

The most popular batteries provide all the customization you need and more. Soo many features... it is exhausting. Even 'AI' modes trying to predict usage and solar generation usin…

Yes. With the 'free' power plans, you are better off not installing solar and investing the savings in a larger battery.
