I agree. It definitely does undermine the purpose of E2EE. I just wanted to let it be known that ChatGPT hasn’t actually broken the encryption algo.
Still, fuck Open AI, and any friend who would ever use AI to scan our Signal chats (if such a plugin is ever created) will be immediately cut off from chat comms.
From the article…
I want to make one technical point absolutely clear because several people have misunderstood my argument:
The encryption still works. OpenAl hasn’t cracked or mathematically broken iMessage encryption. An iMessage remains encrypted between endpoints. The privacy problem occurs at the endpoint.
Once the message has been decrypted on the recipient’s Mac, that recipient can authorise third party software to access the readable conversation. The encryption worked exactly as designed. It simply can’t protect message content from software authorised to access it before or after decryption.
That’s what I mean when I say this integration undermines the purpose of end to end encryption.
Definitely a fun movie
Great post. Thanks a lot.
I’m not from the US, but I’ve had similar experiences in half a dozen or so countries all over the world. I couldn’t even imagine my life if I’d never moved away from where I was raised, nor do I ever wish to go back to that time or place. The world is so goddamn full of excitement and opportunities. I never tire of new experiences.
I may get responses to this post saying “must be nice to be rich,” but I was raised poor. I literally just got on a plane after giving away whatever was in my apartment. A day later I was working a job making the equivalent of 300 usd a month and having a fucking blast. I met my future life partner quite literally the next day.
I have so many good friends from my childhood who are drowning in money or stress issues, yet when I try to entice them to make a significant change, each of them finds reasons why it’s “impossible” while continuing to complain about their lives. What I’ve come to realize is actually impossible is convincing anyone to step outside their comfort zone.
Edit: a word
Whenever it’s drawings of children, no, I don’t think it’s odd at all to worry about that. I just called it creepy, which I think it is.
No one’s getting hurt, and I’m very open to whatever people want to do to feel pleasure, but I’m also entitled to find it creepy, especially if the girls being drawn are clearly young.
It’s specifically because I get out much, and am in a very long-term relationship with an actual woman that I find the idea of sexualizing cartoon images rather odd, especially when they’re very often images of children, even if not in this specific case.
I mean, there’s a discussion above of jerking off to cartoons, but I’m the one who doesn’t get out much. Keep jerkin’ it homie.
I find the Reddit/Lemmy/Etc fascination with cartoons of young girls deeply creepy. They’re everywhere. How many pathetic pedo virgins are actually out there? Apparently many.
Lay off 100% and be done with it. Fuck Zuck and his employee stooges.
It doesn’t break the encryption, you’re right, though insofar as it makes the encryption irrelevant, I’d say it’s being undermined, but that’s just wordplay. The point is, fuck Open AI.
