On this week’s present we be taught that AI actually generally is a stalker’s finest buddy, as we discover an odd story that begins with a manatee-shaped mailbox on a millionaire’s garden and ends with Grok fortunately doxxing actual folks, mapping out stalking “methods,” and handing out revenge-porn ideas.
Then we go contained in the Louvre heist, the place thieves in hi-vis and a rent van waltzed off with the French crown jewels in broad daylight, exploiting our assumptions about what “seems regular” – the identical form of bias we’re now baking into safety AIs.
Plus, Graham chats with Rob Edmondson from CoreView about why misconfigurations and over-privileged accounts could make Microsoft 365 dangerously weak.
All this, and extra, in episode 447 of the “Smashing Safety” podcast with Graham Cluley, and particular visitor Jenny Radcliffe.
