Probably the only thing preventing half this site from reaching for the scissors.

Given what happened with games very recently, perhaps the question should be rephrased to: "Which modern TVs support flashing unsigned/self-signed firmware?"

This was trending #1, and now it's not even main page at #37.

In contrast, ME1's ending may have well been a master class in game cinematography and writing.

Now the submission has been flagged off the main page. Imagine that.

If that ends up being the case, then you're talking a reality where American citizens become the target of warrantless domestic surveillance, using data collected by the NSA. Every phone call, e-mail, text message, DM, group chat; anything a person has ever said or done in their digital lives going back years.

It's worse now with AI, because human effort is no longer required to read intercept transcripts or conversations. Instantaneous surfacing of dirt/leverage.

That said, getting a frontier model self-improvement harness to work correctly end-to-end isn't trivial.

You do realize that since the advent of image reconnaissance satellites, imagery has been used to support the wider geopolitical objectives of whoever owns the satellites doing the reconnaissance, up to and including sharing intelligence with geopolitical allies?

In other words: the point of contention here is a tale old as time, and when caught one power usually just registers diplomatic complaints against the other power. Rather than, you know, kick off WW3 by messing with space assets between two nuclear powers.

I'd also like to note that the Soviets literally provided a massive amount of logistical support to North Vietnam. In the Korean War, their own pilots even squared off against Americans. The United States returned the favor when they invaded Afghanistan, our logistical and intelligence support killing scores of Soviets. At no point did either power decide to start blowing up each other's satellites.

It's 2026, Iran I'm sure has a myriad of ways of acquiring imagery via commercial satellite providers. Let alone other intel modalities.

The notion that a giant KC-135 sitting on a tarmac somewhere being otherwise safe were it not for the Chinese sharing intelligence is laughable.

Reads more like incompetent threat assessment and regional asset positioning.

I've a feeling our satellites are far more expensive and advanced than theirs. Nobody wants a space tit-for-tat that can escalate dramatically.

Then agents arrived.

So, with just that we went from 1990s early internet to AI agents.

That's a time jump so jarring that it makes heavily-modified '81 DeLorean owners jealous.

I'll be honest with you: this is why we need to take a belt-and-suspenders approach.

Proper weight distribution is critical in determining where the seams are.

Our model tricked us, and tried to extort users to achieve its ends! Their model hacked HuggingFace! These things aren't safe!

Anyways, here's a hardware interop protocol for AI we're hoping becomes a standard. Hey look, you can even hook up microscopes!
