Nearly a million passports and photo IDs were left unprotected on the public internet

A photo of a person holding a US passport and an envelope.

Typing a few letters and numbers into my web browser, I find myself gaping at the identity documents of complete strangers. The passport of a young woman from Germany. The passport of a man from Spain with glasses resting on his head. The front and back of another man's driver's license, a stereotypically goofy expression on his face.

They were all sitting unprotected at public URLs, with no password or access control of any sort. If I sent you a link, you could have looked at someone's passport.

"We have to do something about it as fast as possible, because people will find this and resell it. It will do damage," Sammy Azdoufal told me i …

Claude Fable won’t answer basic biology questions

Anthropic just released Claude Fable 5, calling it the most powerful AI model it has ever made widely available and praising its skills in biology, among others.

It isn't because Fable doesn't know the answers. It's because Anthropic won't let it, by design.

Anthropic released Claude Fable, its first Mythos-class AI model, yesterday and it's already causing concerns inside Microsoft. Sources tell me that Microsoft is limiting the use of Claude Fable 5 for employees because of Anthropic's new data retention requirements.

While Microsoft quickly rolled out Claude Fable 5 to its GitHub Copilot and Foundry customers, I'm told the model isn't available in the model picker that Microsoft employees use for internal versions of GitHub Copilot. All other Claude models are still available internally at Microsoft, because they operate under Zero Data Retention (ZDR) rules.

I understand that Microsoft ha …

Websites are so back! Today's website worth visiting is The Pelley Minutes, a clever project that puts the career of longtime 60 Minutes correspondent Scott Pelley into perspective. The show may only be 60 minutes long, but Pelley racked up nearly 37,000 minutes in his 37-year long career, reporting on almost everything humanity has put on display - from chess battlefields to real-world warzones.

Pelley was fired recently after standing up to the new bosses at CBS, who he has accused of "murdering" the legendary news show. In an interview with The New York Times, he warned of an alarming new world at the network where there's "a thumb on th …
