Customer Letter - Apple A Message to Our Customers

it was a little bit more complex than that

Apple doesn't have the ability to remotely unlock a phone; what the FBI was demanding (and what Apple fought in court) was a demand from the FBI to build an entirely different version of iOS that did give Apple that ability

Your brain and data may be in the internet, a world that is both everywhere and nowhere. But your ass is still firmly planted in the jurisdiction of somebody's courts. And police.

Proton is correct. The odds of you finding a company that won't comply with its local police are basically zero.

If you're gonna be dismissing the whole of fantasy fiction as Dungeons & Dragons bullshit, you should at least be willing to double-check that your own stuff is less Weird About Women than Gary Fucking Gygax, which *should not be a high bar to clear*, and yet

you're about two weeks out from becoming yet another news article about one of those sad sacks who gets killed by cops when he breaks into an airport and tries to steal a nonexistent robot body because his CyberWaifuβ„’ told him to

WTFBins WTFBins: benign applications that exhibit suspicious behavior

i was thinking more of shit like wtfbins.wtf, which features legitimate applications partaking in Real Brain Genius Hours behavior like "let's install our own dwm.exe in a weird ProgramData subfolder" and "triggering an ICMP flood alert every minute as a latency check"

Disney’s β€˜Robin Hood’ Live-Action Remake Not Moving Forward, Says Director "It's dead, sadly," Carlos LΓ³pez Estrada revealed about the project that was first announced in 2020.

I don't want to hear "Robin Hood live-action remake" unless I see Alan Tudyk in a fursuit.

the more i work in cybersecurity, the more obvious it becomes that "AI coding tools only help people who suck at coding" and "most professional developers find AI coding tools helpful" are by no means mutually exclusive

I do want to make sure we're being clear about this:

The Bluesky team maintains the same review, red-teaming, and QA processes that we always have. AI coding tools have been proving useful, but haven't changed the fundamental practices of good engineering. Human review and direction remain key.

fast-forward to today:
them: "hey, here's a conversation we had with Trend Micro about that endpoint you told us about over a month ago, they said it was doing weird shit as of a few days ago and is probably compromised"
me: *googles "is 9 AM too early to get day drunk"*

over a month ago:
me: "hey $CUSTOMER, your endpoint is doing some weird shit, it's probably compromised"
me: "we removed the software"
me: "yeah but it's still doing the weird shit"
them: "we checked, it's our RMM doing it"

A digital drawing depicting the AOL Running Man logo in a parody of the infamous "Loss" strip from the webcomic "Ctrl+Alt+Del".

The first frame depicts the main AOL Running Man bursting through a door, the second frame depicts the Running Man getting directions from a red and white receptionist, the third frame depicts a green and yellow figure telling the Running Man some bad news, and the last frame depicts the Running Man looking at a light yellow and white figure laying on a hospital bed. Text at the bottom reads "Connection Lost."

"Nothing is stopping you from acquiring capital"

Literally false, there is no guarantee of gainful employment or non discrimination in purchase even if you can get the funds. Many people are in fact forever on the outside, and I'm sick of the propaganda of "opportunity".

You may notice from my Seven Wonders threads that the story of many of these monuments ends with "and then the British Museum excavated the ruins and took any sculptures and reliefs they found back to their museum. There is nothing left there since"

It actually kicks ass how much the people who run this site hate the people who use it. Just constant seething meltdowns over having to put up with a bunch of artists, furries, and trans people instead of crypto-hustlers and AI guys making Linkedin-tier posts. I'm glad they're miserable, frankly

@dysfun @cthos @davidgerard I think one of the tangible difference (not sure it is exactly from december, I don't use LLMs) is that "agentic" models exploded the quantity, not quality, factor of LLMs.

Developers can now make the LLM run many more sequential queries without having to interact with the model and review the code, so the LLM can make something eventually "work" before the developer has to review anything and at that point there is so much code it overwhelms the human ability to review all the small details and identify the problems in the code.

End result seems to be that confidence in the model output sky rockets and they then spend all their extra time trying to convince everyone else that they aren't in the middle of some kind of psychosis.

listen this is being shared but the screenshot is asking Claude to analyze what Claude may have done. this isn't actually truth or valid information; it's an AI circle jerk
