The Army employee says they have not found the generative AI tools to be particularly useful for their work, and that when they have used the tools, they have found them to be unreliable.

Ran out of unlimited tokens for this?

This seems to be only about the administrative branch and for unclassified information. From the title, I was thinking of the Iran operation at first.

Sane regulation. You like to see it.

$7 billion required collateral. , $100 million annually, $15 billion

Oracle’s argument of “this investment is worth $15 billion” is not only entirely besides the point, which the regulating government office rightfully refuses, but "‘worth’ in your state or city is entirely pointless if it incurs not that amount of local public gain but only public cost. It’s a stupid, misleading argument.

I’m really interested in what that 21k employee loss mean in practice. In a hype-craze it’s probably not sane restructuring and letting go of unneeded personal and inefficiencies, I assume.

As it often is, the source has more information, and significantly so. I also find it much easier and more informative to read. Simple direct speech, headlines, more concrete on what is exposed, more technical details, etc.

They didn’t just send one email to report the vulnerability.

and on January 3rd I emailed nine people: the general info address, six individual staff members at clicktopray.org, and two contacts at popesprayer.va (the Pope’s Worldwide Prayer Network). No response. From any of them.

For July they have three entries of ‘reported to Journalist’ (“Dark Reading”), journalist contacted the Pope’s Worldwide Prayer Network, and ‘still no response’.

They also posted an update about it being fixed on 2026-07-24 that it has been fixed.

The authorization check is there now: request your own user ID and you still get your email back, request someone else’s and you get a public profile. Names are supposed to be public on a platform where you pray alongside other people, so what’s left is what was always meant to be visible.

I also never got an email. Not an acknowledgment, not a thank you, not a “we’ve addressed this.”

Given that The Register posted this article on 2026-07-24 22 UTC it must have been very unfortunate timing. Presumably they didn’t check the source again before pressing publish? And also haven’t noticed or bothered to include an information update.

bobdahacker.comClick to Pray, Click to Leak: The Pope's Official App Exposes 700,000+ User EmailsHow I found that anyone can pull the email address, name, country, and date of birth of any of the 719,517 users on Click To Pray, the Pope's official prayer app, with a single GET request. Reported January 3rd. Still live six months later. Nobody has ever responded.
