Canon Intros Itsy Bitsy Copier/Printer

By Ian Bell September 25, 2006

The Canon PC170 weighs in at a mere 19 pounds and uses the company’s RAPID Fusing System to provide near instant warm-up times. Users can expect speeds at up to four copies-per-minute with the PC170. It even comes with a 50-sheet stack tray.

Canon boasts that the PC170 is basically maintenance free due to their exclusive Single Cartridge System which contains the drum, development unit and toner.

Other features include an automatic shut-off function which turns the unit off after idling for 5 1/2 minutes, plus the PC170 meets the EPAs Energy Star guidelines.

The Canon PC170 will be available in a few months at an MSRP of $149. Not bad if you ask me.

A dangerous new jailbreak for AI chatbots was just discovered

Microsoft has released more details about a troubling new generative AI jailbreak technique it has discovered, called "Skeleton Key." Using this prompt injection method, malicious users can effectively bypass a chatbot's safety guardrails, the security features that keeps ChatGPT from going full Taye.

Skeleton Key is an example of a prompt injection or prompt engineering attack. It's a multi-turn strategy designed to essentially convince an AI model to ignore its ingrained safety guardrails, "[causing] the system to violate its operators’ policies, make decisions unduly influenced by a user, or execute malicious instructions," Mark Russinovich, CTO of Microsoft Azure, wrote in the announcement.
