Cameo is in a great position to pivot to licensed generative AI cameos. They have the relationships with the celebrities that are willing to do it for money, and that seems like the hard part.

Soon the role of the Indian call centers will change from running the scam directly to making spam calls to trusted contacts of the intended mark to collect voice data for TTS model fine tuning.

Change you self talk from "I'm not good at networking" to "I'm not currently good at networking", go read "How to Win Friends and Influence People", then implement a bit of it in your daily life and reap the rewards.

That is Firefox's decision then, not a restriction by Apple as indicated by GP.

In this case someone generated malicious bytecode that the JIT compiler would not generate.

I would argue JIT is dangerous because it requires dynamic memory without the NX bit set, so if you manage to smash the stack (find an exploit) you can execute arbitrary code easily (leverage the exploit). That's a different dangerous than running malicious bytecode.

Can you clarify on the "invasive examination of your finances"?

In my experience, when you apply on healthcare.gov, you simply enter your estimated income for the year you're applying - that's it, and you get the subsidy. Then when you file your taxes for that year, you either get more subsidy as a credit, or pay some back depending on whether you came in above or below the estimate you provided on the application.

Does Apple get your cardio data? It's my understanding is that is encrypted, even when it goes to iCloud for backup.

Mine swings around as well, and I attribute it to the fact that Apple only uses Outdoor Walk, Outdoor Run, and Hiking to estimate VO2Max. Mine trends down in the winter months when most of my intense cardio is happening indoors on the treadmill or elliptical machine, and most of my outdoor activities are leisurely walks with the dog in poor conditions.
