McDonald’s AI Hiring Bot Exposed Millions of Applicants' Data to Hackers Using the Password ‘123456’

wired.com Andy Greenberg 2026-02-05 17:28:50

If you want a job at McDonald’s today, there’s a good chance you'll have to talk to Olivia. Olivia is not, in fact, a human being, but instead an AI chatbot that screens applicants, asks for their contact information and résumé, directs them to a personality test, and occasionally makes them “go insane” by repeatedly misunderstanding their most basic questions. Until last week, the platform that runs the Olivia chatbot, built by artificial intelligence software firm Paradox.ai, also suffered fr

X’s ad business improved under departing CEO Linda Yaccarino, but it’s still tough times ahead

techcrunch.com Sarah Perez 2026-02-05 17:41:09

Former NBCU ad exec Linda Yaccarino’s tenure at X may have been fairly short — just two years from start to finish — but she did manage to make an impact on the social network’s ad business, new data from ad intelligence firm Guideline shows. Yaccarino will be leaving X in a better position with its advertisers than she found it, it says. In the U.S., ad spending was up 62% year-over-year in the first half of 2025, Guideline notes. In addition, Yaccarino previously claimed that 96% of X’s adver

Pugsly joins his big sister at Nevermore in Wednesday S2.

Why the AI moratorium’s defeat may signal a new political era

technologyreview.com Grace Huckins 2026-02-05 17:00:00

Granted, there’s an argument to be made that the moratorium’s defeat was highly contingent. Blackburn appears to have been motivated almost entirely by concerns about children’s online safety and the rights of country musicians to control their own likenesses; state lawmakers, meanwhile, were affronted by the federal government’s attempt to defang legislation that they had already passed. And even though powerful technology firms such as Andreessen Horowitz and OpenAI reportedly lobbied in favo

This Linux distro makes openSUSE accessible to all - even newbies should take a look

Jack Wallen / Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET OpenSUSE is a powerful operating system, but I still haven't recommended it to new Linux users. Why? It's too powerful, and it doesn't include essential day-to-day software. That's a shame, because openSUSE is also very reliable, stable, and secure.

Mysterious Signals From Deep Space Expose Aftermath of Failed Cosmic Eruptions

Whenever we study space, we’re usually talking about long-lasting objects, like our own solar system or faraway galaxies that occasionally catch our attention when something extraordinary happens. But sometimes, the universe sends us quick, random bursts of energy that are usually too far away and too ephemeral for scientists to make any sense of—like fast X-ray transients (FXTs), whose elusive origins have long evaded astronomers.

That means one of our ears is enjoying the show while the other is forced to endure the crying baby behind us on the plane, which can be distracting.
