What's it going to do, start a livejournal?

A dangerous thing it may do is tell people things no one should tell. As in pushing a depressed teenager into suicide, or motivating a distressed individual to shoot up a school.

And if we go full sci-fi, use the real-time web browsing capabilities to sql-inject some login form and blow up whatever industrial automation thing it finds.

So yeah let's hope it doesn't learn about POST requests...

There will be some site somewhere where the login is a GET request. Or even just an unauthenticated API. It's only a matter of time until we see bing being made to actually do things on the internet.

That’s exactly what I was thinking. The cavalier attitude toward the dangers here is shocking.
