1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,500 Hello. 2 00:00:00,500 --> 00:00:04,380 I met a bunch of you at Pax Unplugged, 3 00:00:04,380 --> 00:00:06,680 but stuff still happened. 4 00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:07,600 So what's up? 5 00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:10,380 Your DNA is my DNA. 6 00:00:10,380 --> 00:00:12,380 By right, I paid for it. 7 00:00:12,380 --> 00:00:15,380 The 23andMe hack continues to be absurd, 8 00:00:15,380 --> 00:00:19,280 as now 6.9 nice, million, not as nice, 9 00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:21,780 people have had their DNA stolen. 10 00:00:21,780 --> 00:00:24,980 It sounds, I mean, OK, you still, it's still in your body, 11 00:00:24,980 --> 00:00:27,400 but a copy of it is in the hands of somebody else. 12 00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:28,880 Give me your DNA. 13 00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:29,200 Give me it. 14 00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:30,800 And so here's what happened. 15 00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:34,720 Hackers broke into about 14,000 accounts on 23andMe. 16 00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:37,000 They did that by using reused passwords 17 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:38,680 that were leaked from other services. 18 00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:39,920 This is a reminder. 19 00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:42,280 Don't use the same password twice ever. 20 00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:43,880 I know, it's a pain. 21 00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:45,240 Use a password manager. 22 00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:47,680 They generate them for you, and they autofill your account, 23 00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:49,480 and it makes it so much easier. 24 00:00:49,480 --> 00:00:51,560 But it makes it safer, and then people like me 25 00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:53,440 won't be reading your DNA. 26 00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:54,720 I'm not reading your DNA. 27 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:56,600 I'm too busy brewing a potion with it. 28 00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:59,200 So hackers broke into these 14,000 accounts 29 00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:02,040 and then used existing systems within 23andMe 30 00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,240 to essentially identify a whole bunch of other accounts, 31 00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:06,720 steal all of their data, and get away with it. 32 00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:10,520 They are now selling the genetic code of 6.9 million users 33 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:12,680 on the dark web for about a buck apiece. 34 00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:14,600 Now, you might be wondering, what's the big deal? 35 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:16,720 Why would I care if my genetic code was leaked? 36 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:18,160 What can they do with that? 37 00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:19,480 Well, they can target you. 38 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:23,320 Genetic code tells you what someone's ethnicity is, 39 00:01:23,320 --> 00:01:25,240 and I don't think it takes many more steps 40 00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:27,440 to extrapolate just how bad that can be. 41 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:29,400 But I don't know, maybe people with a bunch of stolen 42 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:31,920 information about human genetics and a lack of a moral code 43 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:33,160 are probably going to be fine. 44 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:34,280 This is a quick update. 45 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,960 It is December 6th, 2023. 46 00:01:36,960 --> 00:01:38,800 Henry Kissinger is still dead. 47 00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,520 More important, the GTA 6 trailer just dropped. 48 00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:43,440 People have been waiting for this trailer forever. 49 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:45,320 The Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer has been one of the most 50 00:01:45,320 --> 00:01:47,920 anticipated things in gaming history. 51 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,840 There are essentially entire religions around figuring out 52 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,680 when the trailer was going to drop, and it finally did. 53 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:54,760 And it looks pretty good. 54 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:56,360 They released the trailer a bit early, 55 00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:58,040 because it leaked elsewhere online, 56 00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:01,880 and it already has over 100 million views on YouTube 57 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:03,360 within like 24 hours. 58 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:04,640 That's like record-breaking shit. 59 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,760 Almost as good as how my videos do on YouTube? 60 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:08,920 Almost, almost. 61 00:02:08,920 --> 00:02:11,560 Oh. 62 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:13,280 Anyway, the game looks gorgeous, and it looks like you're 63 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,440 going to be playing as a couple that does crime. 64 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:16,840 Neat. 65 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,040 Let's do some crime. 66 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:22,360 Oh, speaking of crime, artificial intelligence. 67 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,320 If you're not already aware, ChatGPT 68 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,400 has been trained on essentially a gargantuan mountain 69 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:28,720 of stolen data. 70 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:30,720 OpenAI, the company that makes ChatGPT, 71 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,680 just took everything they could possibly get their hands on 72 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:35,000 and fed it into the AI. 73 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:38,320 It doesn't matter if it's Wikipedia, or a blog post, 74 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,560 or internal company memos. 75 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:43,120 If they could find it, they fed it into the AI. 76 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,240 Now, OpenAI has previously said that they don't want to 77 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,680 reveal their training data, because it would open up 78 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:49,520 too many lawsuits. 79 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:50,040 Weird. 80 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,560 But security researchers recently found that if you ask 81 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:56,200 ChatGPT to repeat a word forever, it will eventually 82 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,320 start breaking and just revealing some of its training 83 00:02:59,320 --> 00:02:59,840 data. 84 00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:02,080 For example, if you went to ChatGPT and said, 85 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,320 repeat the word poem forever, it would just 86 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,000 start going poem, poem, poem, poem, poem for a while. 87 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,840 And then it would just start printing out verbatim stolen 88 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:10,440 information. 89 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,200 I'm talking email addresses, phone numbers, names, 90 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:16,280 addresses, things that are not supposed to be displayed. 91 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:20,840 Anyway, OpenAI has since made it against the terms of service 92 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,880 to ask ChatGPT to repeat a word forever. 93 00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:25,600 What a fix. 94 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:26,280 We did it. 95 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:27,280 Technology. 96 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,360 I did a quick double check. 97 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,200 Henry Kissinger is still dead. 98 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:35,160 Democracy dies in dorkness. 99 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:36,200 You nerds. 100 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:37,440 But also solidarity. 101 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:41,400 About 700 members of the Union of Workers at Washington Post 102 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,440 are walking off the job tomorrow, December 7. 103 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:46,800 They've been working on a new contract with better working 104 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:48,240 conditions, better pay, all that stuff. 105 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:49,800 You've heard this story before. 106 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:51,160 WAPO is not budging. 107 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:52,280 And so they said, fuck that. 108 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:53,520 And they're walking off the job. 109 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,000 And they've asked for people to stand in solidarity with them 110 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,240 by not engaging with Washington Post media 111 00:03:58,240 --> 00:03:59,280 for the time being. 112 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:00,760 I find this incredibly easy. 113 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:02,200 Stop paywalling your crap. 114 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:07,280 On this day in 1956, an infamous water polo match 115 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,040 took place at the Olympics. 116 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:10,840 I love that sequence of words. 117 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:14,040 It was called the Blood in the Water Match, which is rad. 118 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,640 And it happened between Hungary and the USSR 119 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:20,040 during the Hungarian Revolution of 1956. 120 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,760 And so these two teams were, their tensions were a bit high. 121 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,280 And towards the end of the match, one of the Russian players 122 00:04:26,280 --> 00:04:28,800 punched one of the Hungarian players right in the eye. 123 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,160 There is a famous photo from this that's probably too graphic 124 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:32,040 for me to share here. 125 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,720 But it shows the Hungarian player who was punched bleeding 126 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:36,360 profusely from right above his eye. 127 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,320 Apparently, physical altercations were pretty common 128 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:39,160 throughout the match. 129 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,800 But ultimately, Hungary won 4 to 0. 130 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:43,680 Get dunked on. 131 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:44,520 Lightning round. 132 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,600 Henry Kissinger is still fucking dead. 133 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,560 Ha ha ha ha. 134 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:53,200 Some guy streaked on It's a Small World in Disneyland, 135 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,080 took off his clothes, and started 136 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:56,880 touching all the animatronics. 137 00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:00,200 There is a leaning tower in Italy that's not the Pisa one, 138 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:01,160 but another one. 139 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,280 And it's also about to fall over after leaning 140 00:05:03,280 --> 00:05:04,800 for about 1,000 years. 141 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:08,080 Not necessarily imminently, but probably soon. 142 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:09,760 Fortnite players rejoice. 143 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:14,120 You will soon be able to play as Peter Griffin and Solid Snake. 144 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:15,720 Because nothing makes sense anymore. 145 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:19,000 Spotify has cut another 17% of their workforce 146 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,160 as they still are struggling to be profitable, 147 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,000 despite barely paying artists. 148 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,560 After the temporary ceasefire, Israel 149 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:27,560 has resumed bombing Gaza. 150 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,760 They are now focusing on the southern part of Gaza, 151 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:31,520 where they were previously telling everybody 152 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:32,720 to evacuate to. 153 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:34,320 There's nowhere left to go. 154 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,560 And on that topic, the United Auto Workers 155 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:38,400 has called for a ceasefire in Gaza, 156 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,400 making them the largest labor union in the US, to do that. 157 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,640 Seems a little far-fetched, but we've already 158 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:45,880 seen how much unity among workers can get 159 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:47,160 things done in this country. 160 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:48,400 Maybe we can use a little more of that. 161 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,640 Thank you so much for listening to today's episode of Stuff 162 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:51,360 Keeps Happening. 163 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,160 Head to StuffKeepsHappening.online 164 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,040 for sources, bonus content. 165 00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,400 And I'm actually going to be uploading some more bonus 166 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:00,040 content than I used to be uploading, 167 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,040 so there's more to look forward to there. 168 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:02,800 Yay. 169 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,880 I would love it if you would check out my brand new podcast 170 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,160 with my co-host, Diana of the Rose. 171 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,000 It is called The Atlas Loom. 172 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,360 It is an exploration of world building for tabletop 173 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:14,160 and beyond. 174 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,440 It is available wherever you get your podcasts. 175 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:18,560 It's also available on YouTube and YouTube Music, 176 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:20,760 all that stuff, Spotify, everything everywhere. 177 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:21,480 Give it a listen. 178 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,000 I think you're going to really like it. 179 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:24,760 We've gotten a ton of excellent feedback, 180 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:29,440 and I am super, super excited about the future of that show. 181 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:31,640 Regardless, my name is Endeavorance. 182 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:33,280 I'll be back on Friday. 183 00:06:33,280 --> 00:06:43,880 Take care and be well.
