What an era we live in. Movie plot: Evil big pharma secretly unleashes lethal unstoppaple deadly virus and demands billions to search for a remedy. Everyone cheers when the evil CEO dies of a horrible death at the end.

Real life: AI companies openly claim to have rogue agents breaching databases and now developing computers viruses, say they need billions to develop way to control them. Medias treat them as geniuses who will make the world a better place.

Damned! I was about to go to bed and instead I read that thread. Now I won’t have my 8 hours… :(

You’d still be amazed and depressed by how much people are underestimating the level of surveillance from Google, Meta and the others.

So, no conspiracy theory about his recovery involving eating children brain parts or some shit?

It’s not infighting (oh well, if you want to see that, check any other post from GOS when they talk about privacy and security of other Android distros…). They quite legitimately ask why GOS using AI to detect vulnerabilites has triggered such a shit-storm while every other distro accept LLM generated code and no one seems to care.

Good justification to why GOS is right to use AI to detect vulnerabilities. The only true way to protect yourself from an enemy that has nuke bombs is to have some yourself.

Ukraine gave up its stockpile in exchange of promises from both Russia and NATO that no harm would come to them, and would there be harm from one side, the other side would come and help them. They were betrayed by both sides.

AI is very efficient at finding vulnerabilities. Among a see of false positive, they find real ones. It’s much more efficient and faster than human auditing code. So either it’s GOS using it, finding them and patching them, or it’s… someone else.

A plane has at least a lot of people around. In postal service, one can assume the kid spends quite some time alone with the operator. You just have to trust that random person!

Based on my understanding, the “core” team uses AI to detect vulnerabilities.

They also take codes from paid third party devs, and they say they don’t mind how they wrote the code, but it must be clear and each contributor needs to be able to explain it.

They follow the same rules on code conventions including readability. So basically, it’s less that they accept it than they don’t care as long as it matches their quality expectations. If you can’t tell, you can’t ban…

Now eagerly waiting for a computer to tell them “Go fuck yourself”

Yep. That’s what Bannon has been explaining. By the book. We know it. Why do we keep falling for it??

Nah, he probably has no idea he included Iceland. You know, geography is very complicated. No one really knows it. He knows more than many. When he talks geography, experts are amazed by how much he knows. They tell him “how do you know so much??”. So he didn’t include Aceland on purpose. But they would benefit so much by joining the US, it’s the greatest country in the world. They…

[Sorry, we cut his mic and now we’ll give him his meds. Apologies for the noise.]

Funny how we’re going to switch from his people praising him and everything he says and does as proofs of his genius to claiming that this hero suffered from a mental disease “near the end”, and we shouldn’t criticize him for that, that would be unfair, cruel, immoral. The line from genius to mentally-ill will continuously move to include everything they want to keep and exclude everything that’s too unpopular. Timeline won’t matter at all.

Yeah, but that was under the constitution of the United States of America. They no longer exist. Now they’re the United States under Trump, by decree. Gotchaaaa!

And don’t bother answering. There’s another decree under way claiming you’re wong!!

Hoarding wealth makes you a superstar and gives you influence and power. And that’s what they’re all about: forcing everyone else to acknowledge their importance. And if that’s needed, they’ll demonstrate their power of nuisance so that you can’t ignore them.

Given they’re a danger to others, I would recommend a mandatory internment.

After all, he didn’t think they would kill HIS brother. Only others brothers, moms, dads, kids,…

Were these people working from a remote cave or island for the past year and half?

It’s not like Apple playing friend with Trump started yesterday! Apple has been openly pro-Trump since day 1!

Vaultwarden can probably keep going without BW. The main issue is maintaining the clients.

Look, let’s end the debate easy: if tomorrow morning, the GOP decides to take action to prevent and address mental illness, that means she was a big shot.

If it’s the usual thought and prayers, she was a small fish.

No, but we could definitely save some trees if we had less papers and more online systems… providing they’re done correctly and not leaking around everyone’s data.
