6514 - AI on steroids


This is from a Malwarebytes article...

"Now we need to define the difference between an AI browser and an agentic browser. An AI browser is any browser that uses artificial intelligence to assist users. This might mean answering questions, summarizing articles, making recommendations, or helping with searches. These tools support the user but usually need some manual guidance and still rely on the user to approve or complete tasks.

But, more recently, we are seeing the rise of agentic browsers, which are a new type of web browser powered by artificial intelligence, designed to do much more than just display websites. These browsers are designed to actually take over entire workflows, executing complex multi-step tasks with little or no user intervention, meaning they can actually use and interact with sites to carry out tasks for the user, almost like having an online assistant. Instead of waiting for clicks and manual instructions, agentic browsers can navigate web pages, fill out forms, make purchases, or book appointments on their own, based on what the user wants to accomplish.

For example, when you tell your agentic browser, “Find the cheapest flight to Paris next month and book it,” the browser will do all the research, compare prices, fill out passenger details, and complete the booking without any extra steps or manual effort—provided it has all the necessary details of course, which are part of the prompts the user feeds the agentic browser.

Are you seeing the potential dangers of prompt injections here?

What if my agentic browser gets new details while visiting a website? I can imagine criminals setting up a website with extremely competitive pricing just to attract visitors, but the real goal is to extract the payment information which the agentic browser needs to make purchases on your behalf. You could end up paying for someone else’s vacation to France."

6513 - Long joke Sunday


A man is lying back on the couch, watching TV and throwing peanuts into the air, catching them in his mouth. 

One peanut accidentally lands in his ear and is jammed in tight, causing him a lot of pain. 

As his wife was trying to dig it out, their daughter and her boyfriend walk through the door.

The father explains his situation and the boyfriend says that he can help. 

So he tells the father to relax and take,and hold, a deep breath.

Then he sticks two fingers up the man's nose and tells him to blow hard. 

The nut shoots straight out, and the father thanks him profusely.

The boyfriend just shrugs it off and says,

"It was nothing sir, just an old trick I learned from my mum."

Then the daughter and boyfriend head up to her bedroom.

After they were gone, the wife says, 

“Well, he's smart, handsome, and going to college, with a reliable job."

"I wonder what he'll be one day.”

The father says, “Well, judging by the smell of his fingers, hopefully our son-in-law.”

6512 - Saturday jokes


My toxic trait is telling people I'm down for anything, when in reality I mean not after 8pm. Food should be involved, and it also depends on the weather, the parking situation, and how tired I am. (Bilbo)

I was supposed to get older and wiser, but I'm just getting older and wider. (Bilbo) (me too)


I've started joining Google Meet 30 seconds early. It seems that everyone's virtual note takers join early also. I spend the first few seconds screaming about how I'm on the Titanic, we've just hit an iceberg, the end is near, and I need immediate assistance. Then I do the rest of the meeting normally.
When the meeting ends, everyone gets an emailed transcript where the AI summery is: "Chris hit an iceberg, is trapped on a sinking ship, and general Q2 pricing updates."


I'm of the age when I go by a medical supply store I go in and browse.


Technical IT work... Drove 300 miles round trip to push a plug in a little bit further.


I miss the days when shouting out, "Not it" was an effective way of getting out of things you didn't wanna do.


National Guard refuses to go to Chicago, citing bone spurs.


I'm bored today so I thought I would go hide dildos at peoples yard sales.


I just got back on a Southwest flight. I asked a lady if she would switch seats with me because I was traveling with my family. She said, "No", very rude. So I had to stay in my seat and sit with my family.


They say 'the machines of the future' will be as smart as people.
OK, but WHICH people? Because it kinda matters quite a bit.


I don't care that I told a teenager today that I got 10 CDs for a penny in the mail, and I'm not sure if she thinks I'm lying about what a CD is, what a penny is, what the mail is, or all three.


Never did find out what the knights in white sat in.

Proud to say my wife really spoils me. I married her for her personality, and she has thrown in five more for free. Sometimes, if I'm lucky, I get to experience them all in one day.


I switched all the labels on my wife's spice rack.
I'm not in trouble yet, but the thyme is cumin.


It looks like the guy I pay to pick up poop in the yard just realized I don't have any pets.


You know you're in the medical field when you unexpectedly see genitals and it doesn't even phase you. (Also true for caregivers)


When a male octopus finds a mate, he rips off his penis and throws it at the female so she can inseminate herself. Then the male grows a new penis.
If that isn't the most epic to tell someone to 'go fuck your self', I don't know what is.
(Mostly true... https://octonation.com/how-do-octopus-mate/)


So I was eating a bag of potato chips last night, and on the back of the packet it said: `Not to be sold separately'.
I thought: "Who the hell buys just one potato chip?"

It is also taking a woman's bra off at the end of the day.
