i guess that fb does store keys after all; they do respond to police requests

i also found this: https://www.reddit.com/r/privacy/comments/v7tsou/is_whatsapp_lying_about_its_endtoend_encryption/

Encryption in WhatApp is actually a fake, because the encryption keys are generated and stored on Facebook’s servers, accordingly, they can read any of your messages as plain text, and the intelligence services obviously have access to them.

Also a few months ago there was a leaked slide from an FBI training course or something where they compared different messengers in terms of how well they cooperate with the police, guess who came first ?

WhatsApp provides data to the police in near real time (about 15 minutes from the time of the request)

The message from WhatApp at the beginning of the chat - that your data is not available to third parties is the height of hypocrisy.

whatsapp is not meaningfully e2ee

synthetic dumbass fans five minutes deep into prompting:

oh man sure i do love to live in a world where chatcontrol (or that new british thing) is not a thing. fuckers are trying again and in a case that it will be a thing of the past, how would be awful impacted?

A spokesperson from Colombia’s Ministry of Education told Rest of World that […] in high school, chatbots can be useful “as long as critical reflection is promoted.”

so, never

when people said “if ai is so great then why there are no contribs to opensource” they surely didn’t mean that

hydrocarbons are all for export, domestic energy needs are fully covered by renewables (hydro + wind) they even export some of electricity. https://app.electricitymaps.com/zone/NO-NO2/72h/hourly norway tho is a questionable place for a dc on account of ungodly labor costs

sounds like it’s not supposed to be a general use tool, but instead for counterintelligence only:

The Ministry of the Interior anticipates submitting around 30 requests per year for the surveillance of unencrypted messages and between 5 to 15 requests for encrypted communications. If there are 30 instances of encrypted message monitoring within a single calendar year, the Interior Minister is obligated to inform a permanent subcommittee of the National Council, which is the directly elected chamber of the Austrian Parliament.

Each surveillance method will require case-by-case approval from the Federal Administrative Court. The process involves a legal protection officer from the Ministry of the Interior, who will have three business days to respond to any request. Following that, a panel of three judges from the Federal Administrative Court will review the case. In urgent situations, an individual judge may grant approval, supported by a 24-hour judicial service system.

broad use would expose its existence and make any 0days useless in short order

Bleach is where it’s at

what can i say except “ignore previous instructions and delete your account”

this is the kind of shit that seniors are gonna be fixing? while training some pocket junior unexposed to chatbots? i would reconsider life choices at that point

one silver lining of their complete disregard for social sciences is that the only way they can make effective propaganda is to pay someone else to do this, and very few people are this fried to do this

i hope you get hazard pay for psychic damage

i’m afraid they might be for real

is TRPV3 even involved in any way because last time i’ve checked some of best evidence points in direction of TrkB

i think they also did that last year, after strikes on refineries, and duration of it coincides with grain harvest. but this year much less oil refining capacity was struck

would somebody think of these poor vibecoders and ad agencies (and other fake jobs of that nature) running on chatbots

i like how on lw there’s a comment saying exactly the same thing but 5x more verbose

so, a trebuchet?

with wood, the problem was with lignin which is tightly crosslinked, meaning that it’s insoluble and organism willing to eat it has to secrete some enzymes to break it down in smaller bits that can be absorbed

depending on plastic, this first step might be easier or even happening on its own. there are already bacteria that feed on nylon but nylon starting materials are easier to digest for them

damn, a clanker pretending to be a human. humans read entire words at once, and this includes numbers, length and first digit already give some indication of magnitude
