    If agentic AI is a security risk, why the hell is MS trying to force it in as an integral part of Windows, then? I mean, unless they want people to get malware…

      I mean, how much money did Meta make from giving scammers publicity on their platforms? I’m sure MS wants some of that pie.

        Same with Google allowing literal malware to advertise themselves posing as legitimate apps that show above the actual app’s website.

        They even let ads spoof the display domain name to match the official website (and do no checks for whether they actually own the display domain despite literally having the infrastructure to do that in their SEO tools) while redirecting to a different domain when you click the ad.

        Even if this is genuine incompetence and not malice, they’re so disgustingly incompetent that they don’t deserve to exist just the same as if it was malice.
