Right before we took it to the ASA.
They'd been there since 2010. 16 years. Never substantiated.
Makes you think about another organisation that's spent sixteen years not playing by the same rules as everyone else (of course, Man City have appealed ...)

"Black October": AI helped crack PHP, the code under most of the web. WordPress included.
Agents: updating WordPress won't fix it. Ask your host which PHP version you're on and whether it's patched.
Then 2FA everything. (Someone nicked $266 of my OpenAI credit this week via a third-party, Railway. They used it to start building a game called 'Godot', apparently. Can't wait to see it ...)

OpenAI engineer charged after allegedly hiding a bug behind the boardroom telly. Wrapped in toilet paper. One-way flight to Saudi booked.
Matt reckons it's Homeland. He's just started watching Homeland.

Lucy wants new For Sale boards.
The Heavy has other plans.
Portal fees eat the budget agents should be spending on their own brand.
MyPorta is free for agents. Always will be.

Anyone looking to escape the vice-like grip of #Rightmove and their brutal price increases?

Was great to join @stbaker and Edmund Keith on their #onlinemarketplaces podcast. Covered plenty of #portals #ai and #proptech issues - incl why filtered #property search is going to die ... linkedin.com/posts/malmccall…
This may not look like much but it's a massive breakthrough by @pika_labs - video sound fx from prompts.
We've been so spoilt with the quality of video imagery that it's almost become mundane to see something like this. But hear it, too - and unscripted?
Huge moment.
#ai
There is a lot of meme entertainment to be had by looking up the #katemiddleton hashtag. The amateur way it's been thrown out to a conspiracy-thirsty audience is breathtaking.
This will be one of those moments that's taught in AI school in years to come ...
