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.”

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.
