What symptoms have you seen to imply there’s any malware to start with? Cause, like the other guy said, this sounds like an extremely unlikely attack vector.

Remember, effective malware will not be engineered to target you. Malware is about maximizing return from minimal effort. So it is engineered for the most common installations. Second, it’s simple. The smaller, the harder to detect. In other words, it’ll target a specific vulnerability of a specific OS. It will not be written to discover what OS it is on, and then adjust what code is executed accordingly. Doing something like that leads to higher chance of of the code being discovered and disabled. Not to mention the higher complexity, the higher chance it will simply fail to execute properly. So instead you create a tiny simple piece of code that will either succeed or fail and just be done. Last, but not least, it is autonomous; if you have to actively take over, you have completely defeated the whole point point of using malware in the first place. Besides, if somebody’s going to target you, they’re just going to actively hack into your network and you’re not going to know anything about it because they’ll wipe the logs on their way out.

By the way, if what you’ve noticed is some change in what’s showing up in your log files? That’s very unlikely to indicate malware in the first place. Far more likely some low-level part of the code that runs your system is corrupted.

The whole point of Bottles is to sandbox Wine. I think you’re on a wild goose chase here…

And let’s not forget the asinine claim about music composition. Yeah, this is a bullshit fluff piece to keep attention on AI.

Well, those fuckers captured the US government decades ago. Pretty much why the actual effect of actions taken by either party play out almost the same fucking way…

…a counterpoint that this is not necessarily bloat. It’s debatable that this is the right tool to have this feature…

That’s called bloat.

Facebook specifically was aware that teenage girls were especially harmed by their algorithms, so naturally, instead of reducing that harm, they leaned into it.

Not a lawyer, but when the corporation goes to trial instead of selling, that’s not a great sign.

So, my guess is either the defendants know they are probably going to win, or the penalty for losing is likely to be insignificant.

I agree, except that it’s the data broker corporations that are really behind this.

So called “social” media exists to isolate you. The illusion if your life being “crippled” only affects you if you choose to let that happen

Wow are you entirely missing the point.

That’s an interesting bit of trivia, thank you for sharing!

I wonder if they connect all the way back to Micro$oft’s neo Nazi chat bot from decades ago?

Well, considering the entire concept of police came from mercenaries who were hired to “patrol” the neighborhood where factory workers and the liked lived to prevent revolts…it’s all bullshit.

Absolutely agree. The way things are it’s just another flavor of the “we investigated ourselves and found nothing wrong” bullshit.

They absolutely should always be recording - and frequently backing up data to a server outside their control. Although it probably needs to have judicial oversight for access to days files?

But yeah, what’s the damn point if it’s controlled by the very people the technology is intended to provide oversight for?

No

I don’t know, I mean if any corporation can eat the loss, it’s apple with their insanely high margins.

I’m more inclined to believe there’s some form of quid pro quo going on behind the scenes.

Besides, I simply cannot picture Tim Apple as any kind of a hero in this picture. No way he got bullied. He’s getting something out of it. You scratch my back. I’ll scratch yours.

All 6s users hey a warning you might be affected. They give you a link you have to follow to check. Load the page, you’re in your IMEI and it will confirm if you’re affected

Sorry, no LLM is ever going to spontaneously gain the abilities self-replicate. This is completely beyond the scope of generative AI.

This whole hype around AI and LLMs is ridiculous, not to mention completely unjustified. The appearance of a vast leap forward in this field is an illusion. They’re just linking more and more processor cores together, until a glorified chatbot can be made to appear intelligent. But this is struggling actual research and innovation in the field, instead turning the market into a costly, and destructive, arms race.

The current algorithms will never “be good enough to copy themselves”. No matter what a conman like Altman says.
