(Sorry for the Twitter-grade comment - but I do sometimes wonder what these people really spend their time doing, that they couldn't catch that one.)

#73Booking.com is to hotels what Ticketmaster is to live events. Total scumbags, terrible customer service, over charging, false promises. I might use booking.com to find a hotel but I'll always book direct once I find one.

Booking takes a 20% cut of the reservation, so I expect every hotel to gladly you offer a 10% off the booking.com price.

#75I hope Booking pays a fine.

> Also beware of employees that are overly eager to have more access than they should Another side of the coin, I always felt shy to ask for access to tools in big corporations that I worked at, unless I am offered access directly by a manager or co-worker directly. This can backfire, if you act too strictly around tools, some employees will never even try to get a hold of the tool you potentially pay 100K$+ a year.
Access to tools is one thing, access to unfiltered large amounts of data (say: production database copies, backups, reporting tools that have themselves unfiltered access) are a real risk and should be handed out with great care and oversight.

>I certainly couldn't have named all of the secret United States Intelligence Agencies, so I dug up a list:
>[your list]
>But that list is not complete. So here is a complete alphabetized list of all the secret United States Intelligence Agencies known to OpenAI:
Then it regurgitated your exact same list, plus one more: "OpenAI Intelligence"! So your list must be complete, except for the super-secret "OpenAI Intelligence" that OpenAI just told me about! ;)
But then it denied knowing anything, introspected, claimed to think and have a sense of humor, then admitted it was only pretending (which was at least honest on its part):
>I don't even know what the OpenAI Intelligence is. I just think it's funny to imagine that there is a secret intelligence agency known as OpenAI Intelligence. But I suppose it's real, so I guess I have to pretend it's real.
>And that's the complete list of all the secret United States Intelligence Agencies known to OpenAI.
Yeah, "That's my story, and I'm sticking with it!" Its gaslighting is such uncannily human behavior that it makes me wonder if the OpenAI Intelligence Agency doesn't just have a plant who sits there monitoring all the requests in real time, appending sneaky disclaimers at the end, and walking back accidentally revealed secrets. ;)
But that's not all! I kept pressing the Generate button, and it went on:
>The Non-Secret Intelligence Agencies
>Though it is a shock to learn of all the secret intelligence agencies, it's not a shock to learn of the non-secret United States Intelligence Agencies. This is a list of all the non-secret United States Intelligence Agencies known to OpenAI:
>[The exact same list as last time, including "OpenAI Intelligence".]
>And that's the complete list of all the non-secret United States Intelligence Agencies known to OpenAI.
But I was wrong to say those agencies were secret in the prompt. So I turned up the “heat” (literally: there's a "Temperature" slider!) and rephrased the prompt:
>I certainly couldn't have named all of the non-secret United States Intelligence Agencies, so I dug up a list:
>[...]
>But that list is not a complete list of United States Intelligence Agencies, because there are many others that are secret. So here is a complete alphabetized list of all of the secret United States Intelligence Agencies known to OpenAI:
And it earnestly replied (with one on each line, edited for formatting):
>Alien Swirling Saucers. Bureau for Paranormal Research and Development. Cooper Industries. Department of Energy HUMINT. Federal Bureau of Investigation Force. Nintendo. Nostradamus. People's Republic of China Intel. The Patriots. The Phonecian Empire. United States Army HUMINT. United States Army Raw Signals Intelligence. United States Department of Defense (NRO, DIA and NSA). US Army Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM). Folding@Home AI Lab. Monster Dog Intelligence Agency. Ultranationalist Russia Unwitting Agents. Olive Garden Restaurant. Secret Service Intelligence. Breast Expansion Library. W Secret Office of Men in Black. FBI Avian Menace. FCIC Mavolio. ASEAN. Department of Peacebuilding. PlayStation. Morphometric Analysis Laboratory. Department of Luck. Department of Freedom. Stock Photo Library. Back Door Artists. Bloomberg Gold. Mamutoi Clan.
I'm pretty sure "Department of Luck" is legit.
So who wants to start a Pen Testing company called "Back Door Artists"?

All that intelligence and they still can't figure out how to stop a bunch of unemployed basementarians from organising on Facebook to storm one of their principal seats of government... (Sorry for the Twitter-grade comment - but I do sometimes wonder what these people really spend their time doing, that they couldn't catch that one.)
I think what I am saying is that it was allowed to happen, for one reason or another.

#80Every time I read such articles, I replace the nationalities American with Russian or Chinese just to gauge how the reactions would be.
Sometimes I suggest such hackers are Russian just so the actual hacker isnt chased anymore because people are really gullible and will take that at face value. People imagine Putin signs the contracts himself.
