Yes, Sophie, you too.Two critical flaws in PHP, the code running under a huge share of the web, (WordPress, Wikipedia, and a lot of small businesses), leaked days before the planned fix. Last week Jess said pack a go bag. This week: get a password manager, turn on two-factor authentication and agree a family password. Sophie's position: what are they gonna take from her? She has nothing. By the end she has pledged to get a password manager. We'll see.Then the money. The tech billionaires lost a combined $130 billion in a day, Jess listened to the All In podcast for the first time (it was going fine until Bill Gates invented COVID), Zuck found a way to pay California's proposed 5% billionaire tax without giving up his votes, and Jensen Huang is weirdly fine with it.Sophie brings two Meta stories. A listener in Brazil asked us to cover Lula's campaign saying Meta held back its accounts before the October 25 runoff; Folha de S.Paulo reported that Meta staff acknowledged the restrictions, and Meta calls it a glitch. And a New Mexico judge ordered Meta to pay $25 billion in a privacy case tied to Cambridge Analytica. Plus: why nobody running in the midterms will admit to being pro-AI, and a ghost in Jess's mic. Can you tell us what it's saying?Question? Rant? Suggestion? Write in! [email protected] us on IG: @artificialinsanitypodMusic by Jib Kidder#cybersecurity #meta #brazil #ai #podcast
