I love your posts; in fact, I'm subscribed to them, so keep it up, my friend! If you're finding it a bit difficult to write, you could consider starting a podcast on Fountain.

I've also felt overwhelmed these past few weeks: lots of work at the company, bosses demanding we get several projects done, sick kids, a migraine on the rise, etc.

It's also been a bit hard for me to be active these last few weeks, but oh well, these are phases we all have to go through sooner or later, and they become valuable experiences in our lives.

Keep going; there are some of us waiting for your next posts.

A friend of my wife spends all her time on Facebook, posting photos edited by Google Gemini, and her friends, who apparently don't know any better, tell her how pretty she is, ask her what photo studio she went to, etc., silly questions, and she brags about it. Then my wife came to show me the photos, and the poor friend, who's quite ignorant, doesn't even bother to remove the little icon that the AI ​​puts in the corner, hahahaha

What I Had in My Armpit

If you saw the doctor's face when he removed that thorn...!!
He was going to remove a nodule and ended up removing that thing, hahaha

It really started bothering me about 3 months ago. Before that time I hadn't felt anything, and suddenly it started to bother me, out of nowhere, and it seemed like it wanted to come out on its own. I think my body wanted to expel it, and my skin didn't have any entry marks or anything.

Email I received from OpenAI 

------------------------------

Transparency is important to us, so we want to inform you about a recent security incident at Mixpanel, a data analytics provider that OpenAI used for web analytics on the frontend interface for our API product (platform.openai.com). The incident occurred within Mixpanel’s systems and involved limited analytics data related to your API account. 

This was not a breach of OpenAI’s systems. No chat, API requests, API usage data, passwords, credentials, API keys, payment details, or government IDs were compromised or exposed.

**What happened**
On November 9, 2025, Mixpanel became aware of an attacker that gained unauthorized access to part of their systems and exported a dataset containing limited customer identifiable information and analytics information. Mixpanel notified OpenAI that they were investigating, and on November 25, 2025, they shared the affected dataset with us.

**What this means for you**
User profile information associated with use of platform.openai.com may have been included in data exported from Mixpanel. The information that may have been affected was limited to:
Name that was provided to us on the API account 
Email address associated with the API account
Approximate coarse location based on API user browser (city, state, country)
Operating system and browser used to access the API account
Referring websites
Organization or User IDs associated with the API account

**Our response**  
As part of our security investigation, we removed Mixpanel from our production services, reviewed the affected datasets, and are working closely with Mixpanel and other partners to fully understand the incident and its scope. We are in the process of notifying impacted organizations, admins, and users directly. While we have found no evidence of any effect on systems or data outside Mixpanel’s environment, we continue to monitor closely for any signs of misuse. 

Trust, security, and privacy are foundational to our products, our organization, and our mission. We are committed to transparency, and are notifying all impacted customers and users. We also hold our partners and vendors accountable for the highest bar for security and privacy of their services. After reviewing this incident, OpenAI has terminated its use of Mixpanel. 

Beyond Mixpanel, we are conducting additional and expanded security reviews across our vendor ecosystem and are elevating security requirements for all partners and vendors.

What you should keep in mind  
The information that may have been affected here could be used as part of phishing or social engineering attacks against you or your organization.

Since names, email addresses, and OpenAI API metadata (e.g., user IDs)  were included, we encourage you to remain vigilant for credible-looking phishing attempts or spam. As a reminder:
Treat unexpected emails or messages with caution, especially if they include links or attachments.
Double-check that any message claiming to be from OpenAI is sent from an official OpenAI domain.
OpenAI does not request passwords, API keys, or verification codes through email, text, or chat.
Further protect your account by enabling multi-factor authentication.
The security and privacy of our products are paramount, and we remain resolute in protecting your information and communicating transparently when issues arise. Thank you for your continued trust in us.

For more information about this incident and what it means for impacted users, please see our blog post here.

Third-party security incident

These past few days I had to have a minor surgery on my right armpit because I'd been feeling a pricking sensation under my shoulder for a while. I swore it was a malignant nodule, an alien growing, or at the very least a government control chip implanted with the COVID vaccines. In my head, it had a life of its own.

So I went to the doctor, they did an ultrasound, and a few days later I went straight to the operating room. When the doctor cuts the skin… he pulls out a thorn.

Yes, a thorn.

![](https://m.stacker.news/119457)

The strangest thing is that I have no idea when it got there. It's been inside me for at least four years. Because I've been living a quiet life in Brazil for three years now, no countryside, no bushes, no Tarzan-style adventures. And before that, I lived in the city in Cuba.

The last time I touched a suspicious plant was when I was living at my in-laws' house in the countryside, about four years ago. So either it happened then… or I have no idea when it happened.

I ended up with three stitches.

But the story doesn't end there: On Tuesday, I got out of bed, put my right hand down, and bam! I pulled out a stitch. Off I went to the hospital again, like I was completing my medical visit album.

Luckily, everything was fine: they didn't have to stitch me up again, and the wound was perfect.

In short:

— I survived living for at least four years with a thorn lodged in my body.
— I pulled out a stitch myself, hahahahaha.
— And now I have an anecdote that even I can't believe.

Good day comrades.......absent for a few days due to health issues, and a lot of work.

>The mounds were ceremonial, funerary, or residential structures built by various Native American cultures over thousands of years, long before European contact. Famous examples include Cahokia, Moundville, Serpent Mound, and hundreds of smaller sites.
