Surely surely there are apps that use AI to watch you while you do at-home pilates and tell you if you are doing it wrong, need to suck in that bit or straighten that bit?
Is it even possible to "hack" an API that has no authorisation for any of its methods?

Old news framed as something fresh. That "happened in April" may as well read "happened 2 years ago" and is like saying someone was caught jay walking.

AI just doing what 17yo hackers with skills but lack of fully developed morals would've done.

Just without the skin in the game.

...And with a fully grown adult requesting it to do so with zero care or due diligence. Just a whoopsie after the fact.

Why would they let media take photos of them?? I suppose as a "look this could've happened to anyone"? But it actually can't.

I am off to DeepSeek Flash now.

Those that have, more will be given. Those that do not, more will be taken.

Every online service there is is getting cracked and its user data downloaded without consequences (for the service, that is. Users get their identities stolen). Maybe the onslaught of the bots will finally make safety a serious concern.
“Hacker News” not knowing what “hacking” is anymore, lmao
