Almost correct, except it's the green/left that forced a shutdown of nuclear and sold the gas as "green". At least in Germany/Scandinavia, might be different in the rest of Europe.
Re:'We hacked the FBI:' Hackers say they have data on all FBI employees

Nobody (sane) is claiming it was faked. What sane non-AI-pilled people are claiming is "Our AI agent went rogue and hacked another company" is a much better story for the stock price than "Our human engineers screwed up a very basic sandboxing and allowed the agent access to things it shouldn't be able to access, and also they screwed up the task in the first place by accidentally giving the agent an impossible task". Only the latter reflects reality, the former is a marketing pitch.
Re:AWS: Inaccurate Estimated Billing Data - $1.7 BILLION
on Friday July 17, 2026 @11:54AM (#48948853)
If I were to guess this bug is in the "display" part of the system which is probably distinct from the "actually take money from the customer" part of the system. One can imagine they have gates on the "actually take money" part, especially for a large bill like ours which was ~$300b or about 2.5x AWS' 2025 revenue... In one month. Surely if we had actually accumulated that bill they would be the ones with the problems when we can't pay it.

on Sunday April 27, 2025 @09:19AM (#43811720)
I had a similar experience, I tried with some photos from various European cities and while it pretty much always got the city correct it was hilariously confidently incorrect in the exact location within the city. They were plausible but nowhere near the level of accuracy the article describes. All the images had distinctly recognizable landmarks which a resident of said city would know and which also have images available online given one knows the name of the landmark so I'm not particularly impressed.
In fact some of the answers were completely geographically impossible where it said "The image is taken from location X showing location Y" when it's not possible to see location Y if one is standing at location X. Like saying "The photo is taken in Central Park looking north showing the Statue of Liberty".

Contrary to the belief of a lot of Americans, just because it works in the US doesn't mean it works elsewhere. In the rest of the world a driver's license is used for proving your right to drive and we have a thing called passports for proving your identity. Hetzner isn't an American company so why should they accept American drivers licenses?

How about "If you put blue lights everyone will think it's an unmarked police car" then? The argument works the other way around too, if you put turquoise lights on a 1999 Subaru nobody will think it's self driving.
