Find the hacktivist and ensure that that the book of law is thrown good and hard at them in court.

No different than if the opposition did the same to a left leaning/sympathizing group.

And if it’s Mythos or Claude derived (a strong hint for Mythos), discard it faster.

Only to the activist class.

Thankfully, Palantir and others were built to counter them.

TBH, I’d reject Mythos or similar reports and require full reproduction on a publicly available model before considering them valid.

Show your work so others can reproduce it.

Or it functionally does not exist.

(No, long hashes with an equally mythic promise of reproducibility don’t count)

How many are valid and reproducible ones and how many are just mythical unicorns?

Maybe don’t release something like this so fast? Or at least make it optional and not mandatory?

Or maybe don’t have devices doing double duty such that 2FA and work devices can be partitioned out from any incidental personal use. That way, even if you have one half of it, you still don’t have enough to attempt work.

Just publish early due to a documented lack of cooperation. They don’t have to answer, but you dont have to wait.

Naturally some people find that this offensive since this puts a price to that “bliss”.

Rome (US) will always have its critics.

It’s our job to make sure they don’t have any power.

If Windows Mobile* and maybe the Catapult FPGAs** are any indication, those are relatively lower walls than Apple.

The still unbroken(?) Zune and Windows RT are two rare exceptions.

* - from the HTC HD2 to the latter Lumias like the 1020 and 950/XL

** - buy a Quartus license and you have boatloads of small-ish DIY networkable Arria 10 GX accelerators at your disposal.
