This is only coming up because of the discussion of training clankers in airgapped environments. The paper is more of a proof of concept with two computers in the same room.

Oh, I didn’t have a specific one in mind. I was just volunteering to help. Yes. I can help you. No, I don’t have any jobs to give you.

So glad I am not the only one to have seen this lol

Yes.

lol

There are always additional choices available beyond the ones presented to you. They may not be optimal, but they are yours and they are there. And a principled choice with negative consequences can still be worth it. People get emotionally invested into all sorts of stupid shit, or never question why something is the way it is, or never express curiosity for alternatives. And you simply don’t need to accept these people’s framing for anything. It is even a parenting technique using the illusion of choice on children to force a decision that was never a choice to begin with.

Looks like they are indeed breaking the law! The max clearly reads 3x15 and there is 47 present.

EXACTLY. What a pain in the dick. And of course, how do you evaluate if that private security is actually working? It is basically insurance that you hope pays out if something goes sideways.

Sure, but then you still need to deal with people. And people aren’t trustworthy with money, so now you gotta worry about that too. And what kinda rubric do you even come up with for those interviews for smart people to make sure they aren’t going to just steal your money or lose it through negligence? So now you gotta think about that shit too. Ever done interviews? No thanks. Again, giant fucking hassle.

It depends on how much risk you want I guess. Amounts that big aren’t covered by deposit insurance in a single account. Banks also fuck up all the time. They could give someone else access to your money without you knowing. And if you have that much money, it makes you a target. There will be tax things you have to do around that money too.

That much money is a fucking hassle. Everyone wants it and bothers you about it. You can’t just leave it alone, it needs to be managed. Some portion of that money goes to pay for the management of it. And if anyone finds out you have that money, they treat you differently because generally, only shitheads and assholes have that much money. Money is fucking toxic and humanity is a giant disappointment

Cream cheese sculpting was not on my bingo card for 2026, yet here we ware.

lol, convenient framing that somehow AI has enveloped all economic activity and now there is a gatekeeper that cannot be subverted or ignored.

It would require politcking. And charismatic speakers that can explain to lay people the importance of software freedom. You have to convince a whole hell of a lot of normies.

Nah, it isn’t that simple. You need a deep, fundamental understanding of computing to do it yourself. The clankers can do it now for you pretty easily if you know how to whisper to them in the right way. That’s a lower barrier to entry and at that point, knowing just the nomenclature from the cybersecurity sphere in addition to having a solid software engineering understanding, it is enough. Lots of the proofs-of-concept for the PHP vulnerability assumed insecure defaults, for example. This is the clanker cheating and the humans not really being experts enough to recognize that.

Hacking any software is first finding a condition in how the software is written that allows you to subvert an expectation. This can be as simple as providing a buffer and lying about how big that buffer is. It could allow you to read or write arbitrary data somewhere the original developer never expected. That data can be instructions that give the attacker full control. I am giving you a little bit of “the rest of the fucking owl” here because it gets pretty technical.

As for taking credit, this is why they come up with groups with names or they pick pseudonyms. They are seeking status among their own peer group mostly. It is enough to get their name dropped on the news somewhere. Reputation, clout, all the things boring humans desire.

Only if it is about running away from things in the dumbest way possible. Oh and scientists are the dumbest people in the galaxy. God, that fucking movie irritated the shit out of me for being quintessentially stupidity-driven-plot

Downvote for not making them soapy

This is assuming the name death note writer is Polish and not merely targeting someone Polish.
