Sam Bankman-Fried Has Learned Nothing

Sam Bankman-Fried, at his sentencing, expressed regret for his actions but avoided admitting to any crimes, instead referring to his actions as "mistakes."

He suggested that the bankruptcy lawyers were to blame and outlined contributions he made to assist FTX customers during the bankruptcy process.

Meanwhile, Kaplan attributed Bankman-Fried's actions to a gambling mentality, a reckless approach to risk-taking that prioritized potential gains over ethical considerations.

However, this little turd had a document that outlined how he planned to ‘scam’ his customers, rebrand, and gear up to do it all over again.

Security Risks
US House Bans Staffers From Using Copilot

The House is removing and blocking Copilot from “all House Windows Devices” after the Office of Cybersecurity determined that it risked “leaking House data to non-House approved cloud services,” reported Axios.

The House cited similar concerns when it restricted the use of ChatGPT in congressional offices last year and declared that no non-ChatGPT chatbots were authorized yet.

A Microsoft spokesperson told Axios that meeting “federal government security and compliance requirements” with AI tools like Copilot is on its roadmap for “later this year.”
