Welcome to the future, where trucks drive themselves, foldable phones are still trying to not crack under pressure, and privacy is a luxury item.
This week, we saw Tata Motors patch up some embarrassing leaks, AI chatbots that might soon have an age restriction like an R-rated movie, and Thomas Middleditch crashing TechCrunch Disrupt with the stealth of a ninja in a startup hoodie.
Tata Motors had a bit of a "whoopsie" with their security, exposing a treasure trove of customer data. It's kind of like leaving the vault door open at a bank, but with fewer gold bars and more spreadsheets. Luckily, they patched it up faster than you can say "GDPR violation."
It's a reminder that in the digital age, even the biggest companies can have their pants down unexpectedly.
In a plot twist nobody saw coming, Thomas Middleditch, the star of HBO's "Silicon Valley," made a surprise appearance at TechCrunch Disrupt.
