Part of me thinks they are welcoming this drama because if the other 0-days are genuine bugs then it muddies the water and shifts the focus away from a the fact that they shipped an intentionally backdoored security product.

In legacy media the platform is responsible for the content they present you. On new media platforms they are pushing out foreign propaganda and getting financially rewarded for it.

Repeal 230 and put all the controls of recommender system into the hands of the user. Present information chronologically by default.

First of all define productive. Would someone using AI to build software at a startup which is likely to fail be considered productive? What if there is already similar software available that solves the same problems? What about the broad use of LLMs to draft emails or make silly memes?

It’s funny how everyone’s concerns around climate change just disappeared when they realised AI was useful to them.

Cryptocurrency is more popular and intertwined with the financial system than it ever was so while the claim isn’t currently true it doesn’t mean it won’t be on a long enough timeframe.

If you are old enough then you would be aware that similar claims were made about email but only one country that I know of (the Netherlands) no longer processes mail. Still if we had to guess I would say that we are still early and email will replace the worlds postal systems.

The cameras are there to discourage crime and for use in court as evidence. Solving a crime still requires time and energy. Policing is a resources game.

So of course petty crimes are still going to be committed because it’s resource intensive to have someone monitor all the cameras. That is until it isn’t and you have a backlog of video footage of crimes and AI powerful enough to detect crimes being committed in real time. Even then though police work is still required if AI isn't using face or gait detection and/or these systems aren’t hooked up to a database that has linked identifiers to real people. But even those can be defeated with a bally and a limp.

That had me in stitches.

Me too but it is the reality now. As someone who saw the birth of the internet and watched it grow into what it is today it is really quite sad.

> TrueCrypt, “replaced” by VeraCrypt which Internet people will claim is backdoored? I haven’t heard about stylometry paper.

Yes. TrueCrypt shut down in a very strange fashion. The software was functional and the authorities had tried to actively crack archives and failed. Then one day the project shuts down with a notice that TrueCrypt is "not secure as" Windows Bit-Locker which is and was a complete falsehood. TrueCrypt also passed independent security audits. Many believed the announcement to be a warrant canary. I've dropped some links below.

> btw w/this idea would want to avoid typing into a comment field directly, since the session recorders would capture it (although that’s a different risk - same as our identifiable behavior patterns with our mouse etc.)

You are 100% correct. It would probably be better implementing this idea as a virtual keyboard for better privacy. No doubt typing cadence is unique too and I have probably already been identified just by doing online typing tests. Mouse could be at least partially defended against using vimium style keyboard shortcuts.

Remember how the TrueCrypt project shut down shortly before a join goverment/university paper was released about code stylometry? I guess LLMs will be employed as a defence against that type of thing.

For writes yes 10GbE overkill but for for reads it's faster than 2.5GbE would be.

Sure there is 5GbE but most switches that support 5GbE support 10GbE.

When YouTubers start making videos about it you know it's too late.

Given all the available information (including the DHS worker revealing that Satoshi was identified by the USA government and he was multiple people)[0] this is the most likely case.

You wan't to access some files off your network using smb? Here install this third party tool and don't forget to give it full read/write access to your device.

Steve Jobs would be rolling in his grave if he could see the software quality of the products that Apple releases today.
