Post title
Microsoft confirms an AI worm is propagating through Copilot and other MS apps
The article talks about a document-born self propagating virus demonstration a group of security researchers made because LLMs/Copilot doesn’t distinguish between data and instructions. The article does not imply this was seen in the wild.

Pravda News!@news.abolish.capital•'You Deserve Stability': Mamdani Vows 30% Discount on Staple Food Items at City-Run Grocery Stores
32·3 days agoConcerns with this model.
- Scalping. What is preventing people from buying out the store in bulk and reselling outside the store for a profit.
- 30% of what? If private grocery stores drop their prices/profits to be competitive, will these municipal stores drop their prices again? I would think a set profit rate for a municipal store would cut out price gouging, but allow private grocery stores to continue operations.
- What are actual profit margins that grocery stores in the city are running on? Many articles say 1-3% profits are typical for grocery stores. Is this true for NYC?
- Is this expected to a budget expense or a self funded operation after the initial investment?
EDIT: To be clear I want this to succeed. Questioning the government’s implementation should be encouraged.

politics @lemmy.world•Mayor Mamdani Unveils 30% Discount at New Municipal Grocery Stores
13·4 days agoOthers can just go to the store
Other people going to the store doesn’t stop scalpers from clearing the shelves. If they restock overnight, scalpers can and do wait for stores to open just so they can clear them out.
Logic implies that the prices are being compared to other stores.
Imagine this scenario. Private grocery store (PGS) sells bread for $5 a loaf. Municipal grocery store (MGS) sells bread for $3.50. PGS decides to cut their profits margins (citation needed) and sell at a competitive $3.50. MSG sells bread at $2.75 (after all this is 70% of 3.50). This repeats until the PGS goes out of business and the operating cost of MSG is much higher than expected.

I don’t know why Mamdani is pictured. I think it is because the proposal was introduced in the State Senate by Kisten Gonzalez who is a DSA member.
