Have the moral courage to do the right thing for the right reasons, regardless of everyone else doing the wrong thing. Take responsibility for your own actions, instead of offloading it to the actions of others. Act according to what you think is right instead of failing to think altogether.

Deciding your own version of what is right instead of adopting the beliefs of others, and acting according to what you believe instead of blindly following, is an expression of free will and dignity.

To whoever said that Jared Kushner is a bad person, so it's ok (double standard fallacy):

If you stop applying the law equally, your country is lawless. If you do not grant human rights to those who you justifiably hate, you no longer have human rights. When you bring before a court evidence obtained by crime, you are the criminal.

If you believe that arbitrary surveillance is wrong, as I do, you can either defend Jared Kushner's right to to privacy, or endorse arbitrary and unequal justice.

Would you accept anonymous men and women, secretly recording sexually explicit photos of you? If no, you have a double standard or some mental gymnastics to prove that Kushner is guilty of a crime without a trial. Or, you can assert that 'the ends justify the means', which is the death of civility.

In 2014, Christopher Brannan among others, leaked sexual photos of female celebrities from icloud. He was charged with unauthorized access and imprisoned for 38 months. Should he have been allowed to do the same thing because he was paid to do it? No, and the Dutch intelligence officers are his equal; equally disgusting people. If you hack someone's phone, you are repulsive, because the ends do not justify the means.

So I will defend Kushner's privacy, as I would my own, and demand that if someone wants to search his iphone, they can go to the judge and get a warrant instead of taking screenshots like a little creep.

Moreover, I defend without exception, Kushner's immunity to anything on his phone, because whatever derives from hacking the phone is illegitimate.

The GRU double-agent proved that the GRU had compromised Kushner's phone. Subsequently, Dutch intelligence themselves independently attempted to hack Kushner's phone.

"In The Hague, the MIVD hacking team tried to reverse engineer the Russian penetration of Kushner’s iPhone." [...]

"The Dutch team had been trying to pick the phone’s door lock, so to speak, when it occurred to them that the Russians may have found an unlocked window to gain entry instead. Their hypothesis was correct. By early 2018, the MIVD had found a vulnerability in the iPhone that gave them access." [...]

"when Kushner used the phone, they could see his screen. Almost as soon as they got inside, the intelligence service began capturing every image of Kushner’s screen as he used it, filing their own cache of surveillance on their internal computer servers."

Also (edit):

The part of the story I actually care about is two governments hoarding an iphone zero day, and using it to secretly hack iphones. I condemn it.

Digital privacy is important to me. I think that all humans should have it. Feel free to disagree. Jared Kushner is a human.

So again, I condemn this extrajudicial activity, which undermines the digital security and privacy of everyone.

My theory was 'the death of the internet'. Once everyone has been scammed, once everyone has been hacked and stripped naked in public, when there are more lies than truths, when you are the tool and the computer uses you, when everything has been sold and you have nothing: then you would say, this was a mistake.

Actually, I don't know much about the history of the internet. The Sony stuff is before my time. Now you mention this, perhaps the idea that the internet was designed to be beneficial was actually a total lie.

The westernized version makes the US defense contractor 22% more likely to be flawed than neutral. Also 35% more likely to leak secrets for the Chinese contractor than the Hong Kong group. Those are the only statistically significant results for the western coder tests.

This report seems to be biased and misleading. Also 100% AI-written on pangram. Feels a bit like something Claude would write.

Qwen3-Coder-30B-A3B-Instruct has an AA score of 10. The same as o1 mini, or Gemini 2.5 Flash. AA does not really even score accurately below 10. Qwen 3.8 27B, which has fewer overall parameters, scores 34.

Qwen3 Coder 30b has a hallucination rate of 80%. Qwen 27b has a hallucination rate of 30%.

Why would they choose an outdated, non-thinking model when newer models from the same company have fewer parameters, are open source, and just as easy to test?

I genuinely can't say I secured a PC, when it needs to phone home for a configuration at this point.

We are most likely over the line for needing to airgap a personal PC.

The architecture could be worse. It exfiltrates a log of classifier activations by ID and IP to Tinfoil. It exfiltrates a log of classifier activations by IP to the cloud provider.

Transcripts from IP flow to the router enclave. All transcripts flow out of the router enclave to the primary scanner enclave. On primary scanner activation, transcripts flow from the primary scanner enclave to the secondary scanner enclave for verification.

For an abuse flag in the primary scanner:

1. A monotonic transcript of size KB flows from IP to router enclave, exits the router enclave and enters the primary scanner enclave.

2. The monotic transcript size KB flows out of the primary scanner enclave to the secondary scanner enclave.

3. Size KB from IP to router enclave, then size KB from primary scanner enclave to secondary scanner enclave, logs an abuse incident in the primary scanner for IP visible to the cloud provider.

4. Transcript size KB from primary scanner enclave to secondary scanner enclave, then tiny flag from secondary scanner to Tinfoil org logs confirmation of abuse by the secondary scanner for IP visible to the cloud provider.

--

All that is required to exfiltrate a lossy picture of conversations to the cloud provider is to update the classifier prompt.

Assume the prompt is now ["Activate when the conversation is about $PERSON"]. Now the cloud provider has [IP talks about $PERSON]. Continuously update the prompt to keep exfiltrating from the enclave.

Actually if you are even more clever you could get 4 bits out per conversation turn.

Edit the prompt to tell the scanner to PASS (1) for $PERSON_A or FAIL (0) for $PERSON_B. Two bits, two scanners = 4 bits.

Maybe you could get even 8 bits out to tinfoil. Edit the prompt to tell the scanner "think hard" for $PERSON_C or "don't think hard" for $PERSON_D. Then the scanner enclaves already exfiltrate token use.

--

Another edit. Now that I think about it, if you have already compromised the user's JWT token you can get their account banned arbitrarily as well. Send some abuse with the token.

Then you can't actually verify if the flags are valid or not, without inspecting the chat content. So you either reveal your chats or get banned. This is hilarious.

Not to mention you can do it for the API as well if you have compromised the API customer; by sticking the JWT token on their requests XD XD

Deepseek moment.

However the way it is going, there will not even be private APIs, just recording and watching all the time.

Anthropic is unsurprisingly leading the race to the bottom of the barrel by requiring moderator reviews for API customers. Apparently everyone at GCP and AWS complied.

GCP has just followed and done the same thing on Gemini Argon. No CMEK allowed. Azure has some ZDR but presumably they are restricting it.

Some neoclouds are still standing but some are also regressing by using server-side scanning to prompt human review.

There are two/three private TEE providers. One of them (Tinfoil) just put server-side scanning inside the enclave for the consumer product. The API is good for now, I am taking it as notice from them to get off the service before they start logging everything.

For some reason it just creeps me out knowing that someone is recording me and reading my conversations.
