A lot of people have a tendency to anthropomorphize it.

Yeah. The amount of people that learned about persistent file-based memory and think it’s some indication that the llm they’re promoting is alive, has sentience, or has persistent self-identity and self-awareness instead of recognizing it’s just a way to inject previously learned context when it’s needed without burning tokens sending it with every prompt you send is out of control.

I stumbled across some weird hybrid psychonaut x Claude collab subreddit the other day and holy shit ai psychosis is real.

If you’re submitting a vulnerability to a public repo, that’s also your job. These slop reports that are wasting maintainers time should never have been reported. The person tasking the LLM is out of their depth and can’t be the human in the loop that verifies the vulnerability report before submitting because they don’t have the required knowledge to do that. It’s a shame, because if people who had the requisite knowledge were the ones submitting, the ratio of valid reports to noise would be way higher than 5% and open source maintainers wouldn’t be feeling burned the fuck out.

I’ve been fucking around with using Claude to solve CTF challenges. I’m using a harness built out of a custom agent I wrote that progressively loads specific a specific skill for the challenge category, cryptography, binary exploitation, reverse engineering, forensics, etc.

It’s solving the simple shit in <1m using sonnet. It’s solved some shit that I couldn’t figure out at all during the CTF in the time limit we had in ~20 minutes. There’s been 2 challenges that after about 25 minutes I’ll kill the agent working on it, change to opus, then opus solved them in about 20m. One crypto challenge was so math heavy i never would have figured it out. One bin exp challenge didn’t provide a local binary, everything was remote. There was a catch that I never would have solved bc it was remote only and I couldn’t locally debug it.

It’s fucking scary good at solving these things. I just prompt with “use <agent> to solve ./category/challenge/“ and it fully just does everything. It’s definitely akin a fuzzer that can be used for way more than just finding crashes and memory leaks. It takes some work and understanding to make it context/token efficient I think, but it lowers the bar so tremendously that I definitely see why there’s concern here. And again it’s solving most of these things with sonnet, not even opus and definitely not fable.

All told, this feels like the same panic that happened when metasploit first got released/demo’d at defcon back in the day.

When you first set it up you sign into your iCloud, which has your home address right? And in think it asks for zip code during setup also. It’s definitely happening, and I love it. Snow is the best.

I’d argue that someone who doesn’t understand all the words in that post received a lower than average education. What specific words do you think wouldn’t be universally understood by someone with an “average to mid-high” education?

This is why China wants Taiwan. It’s a serious enough concern that ASML installs kill switches in the machines they sell to TSMC

I thought the thorn broke AI though.

This guys fucking lying. How do I know? Because I am Chris.

Also wtf does this have to do with self hosting?

Edit - oh he’s just spamming shit

WhatsApp’s code is not public. The app generates the private keys. The app has to have access to the private keys to decrypt your messages. Because the code is not public, no one has any idea if meta has ad hoc on demand access to the private key, or if they upload the private key to their servers.

If WhatsApp was open-source like signal, we wouldn’t be having this conversation. Until then, and based on metas know business practices, it’s safe to assume they have access to WhatsApp private keys.

What’s even more confusing is that I have both Postal and Postal 2 in my library, with play time. But NMS is what similar. Weird.

Similar to games you’ve played: No Man’s Sky

Wait, hasn’t the EU also been pushing for mandatory scanning of people’s messages FoR tHe cHiLdrEn?

Or were they just pushing for a backdoor in the encryption to enable selective scanning at a massive scale?

This has the same energy as some medieval shit, a Protestant king ordering his army into a catholic monastery and burning all the books type shit. I’m here for it.

I saw some vid thumbnails a day or two ago that were talking about his mods eating him alive or something, so I’m not sure what all that more recent drama is about. I am current on his shitty dev abilities and his stupid self insert game unfortunately.

I’m not totally sure, but I watched one vid about him a year ago and now yt slams me with recs for vid about him. If titles are to be believed he’s completely crashed out and not doing well at all which makes me very happy, but I’m not cursing my algo for another year by clicking.

Ah, was completely unaware that was the case. Thanks!

Fan-made sub translations?

It’s a satellite for amateur radio, it’s not implying it’s an amateur satellite.

You’re misunderstanding what end-to-end encryption is. If they have a copy of your private key, it’s still end to end encrypted. The alternative would be akin to a TLS termination proxy, where your device would encrypt a message using Facebooks public key, they decrypt message, store it, and then Facebook uses your chat partners public key to encrypt and send to them. You cannot send an encrypted message straight through to your chat partner.

What I’m insinuating is that there’s no way to know if Facebook has a copy of your private key. The message is still end-to-end encrypted, it is encrypted by you using your chat partners public key, and passes through all of Facebooks infrastructure encrypted, until your chat partner receives and decrypts it. If Facebook stores the message, it’s stored encrypted. They can just decrypt it when subpoenaed or whenever they want bc they have the required private key.

Did you run gpg yourself to generate the key pair, then exchange pub keys with your chat partner? Or did Facebook generate the keys for you from within a closed source application?
