Getting tired of this guy's retarded takes. He vibe coded some websites and a shitty plane game and thinks he's some expert on security. I'll say it again. SNI headers don't give a fuck about your TLS/HTTPS encryption. Your "secured" traffic still reveals every site you visit.

Apple just launched Digital ID, turning your iPhone into a government-verified ID holder. For now it’s TSA-only, but Apple says it’ll soon verify age and identity across apps and venues. At the same time, the EU, UK, Australia, and Canada are rolling out national digital ID

The threat actor—whom we assess with high confidence was a Chinese state-sponsored group—manipulated our Claude Code tool into attempting infiltration into roughly thirty global targets and succeeded in a small number of cases. Used Claude, not DeepSeek.. anthropic.com/news/disruptin…

And here we have it. Two weeks ago, Chat Control was off the table. After changing the wording in the proposal, now it’s back on the table without much objection. No more privacy is still the outcome.

Charles Foster I find much of what has been said suspicious, but I will reserve judgment until I have better information. But, if I were a Chinese APT, I’d be using Chinese AI systems, they are are plenty good.

We’ve barely even begun to get our feet wet in certain technology areas (like reversible computing) and reaching the limits of what’s possible there will likely take decades if not centuries. And

Absolutely. How fucking stupid is it that we have an AI that can drive the car better than a human in many cases which could solve distracted driving and yet we force people to turn this system OFF to text and drive blind, looking at the phone instead of the road?

“The most surprising part of our work on Kosmos — for us, at least — was our finding that a single Kosmos run can accomplish work equivalent to 6 months of a PhD or postdoctoral scientist.”
