True Threats have a legal standard and specificity of person, place, and time are elements.

Criminal Threatening usually has a state statute.

The summary sounds much more like "muh feels" and conclusory pleading so it's probably not true to the legal standard.

How many arrests were made?

Also getting arrested for a social media post is a special kind of stupid on all sides
  Posts are almost always powerless and can just get you in trouble. Don't do it to blow off steam. Or for clout.

Not worth it, get out there and take action if you mean it. Don't blab about illegal fantasies.

like a bounty-seeker scorned.

Shoulda just paid 'em.

He sounds quite knowledgeable and it looks like he'll continue whipping Defender until morale improves.

It's worth noting that the black market would pay handsomely for most of his discoveries but retribution is sweeter than cash.

I get the sentiment.

Criminals is the excuse, an AI Surveillance Police State is the point.

Everything in the rule is sensible for a dictator.

I searched the CVE and saw dozens of "One Character Flaw" articles.

I wonder who came up with that angle.

It appears journalists bit on that phrase for clickbait. It got an article here, eh?

At least for Debian if you're current it hasn't been a concern for months, going by the version numbers. So not actually news, actionable, or interesting.

The Business Reform channel on YT reviewed a couple of ultrasonic jammers that kill the audio on these recordings.

$400 for the better one but if you need it maybe that's cheap.

I didn't know about the technology so I was surprised.

The guy who runs the channel would fit in with the dominant privacy culture on this site.

Good points.

nVidia is talking about paying homeowners to install a 10 GPU unit in their backyard along these lines, going highly-distributed.

The trick with the "data center jobs" is the estimate that 70% of them will be new H1B workers so even those claims to the locals whose politicians already waived taxes is that they're looking at maybe a few dozen local jobs for a huge data center.

It's worth watching the Tucker/O'Leary interview to see the mindset of these people. "Corruption and screwing the locals is how business in America is done, Tucker!"

Slightly paraphrased.

String Theory has contributed some useful mathematics but its position as the Only Game In Town (they call it that) appears to have been a psyop to keep Academia out of the work being done at private contractors.

Retired people from e.g. Skunkworks have described corrections and extensions of Maxwell's Equations and the Dirac Equation as the path that has yielded experimental success.

Those guys didn't "shut up and calculate". Their work is under NDA, WUSAP, ITAR, and Invention Secrecy Act restrictions.

Some parallel work, e.g. Exodus Technologies, has started to bear fruit in the public domain, so the psyop is being wound down now. Additionally China has surpassed the US in implementation so they want All Hands On Deck.

What was strategic advantage has become a strategic liability. One can understand this mindset by not caring about the hundreds of millions of lives that could have been saved by resultant technologies. When only State Supremacy (and COG) are factored in the normal human behavior goes out the window.

The impossible need to power AI for a communist surveillance police state may also be playing a factor; hard to know prospectively but somebody has the power source being demonstrated on the slow drip of DoD "UFO" videos.

Most people won't put Space Aliens on the top of the list of culprits when ATS projects by humans will suffice.

The biggest hurdle will be getting Deans and Department Chairs to discard their life's work as meaningless. What a "Good Scientist" should do and what most people will do are not the same. Hence the "funeral to funeral" adage.

If you want to see sharp edges, build an AI Surveillance Grid and send people's home electric bills to $2000/mo to pay for it.

Not that the DC government people can be trusted with any of it. Lies and deception are their standard MO on everything now.

I think that these are all just adult album alternative format stations that keep playing that one Wilco record.

The only way it could make sense is if you use the broadcast data against a one-time pad and then you have a key to decrypt some other data, however distributed.

There aren't enough unique messages to be the data payload itself. Regular key rotation makes some sense.

Instead of a key it could be a pointer to another data source too. Frequency, satellite channel, URL, whatever.

It does seem premature to conclude the content. No doubt there are many other possibilities.

A Scout is Trustworthy but this BSA has never demonstrated that virtue.

Their PR is difficult to parse as valid English but it sounds like gaslighting of the type "you can only trust what you may not examine."

It sounds incoherent but perhaps that means they have nothing else left.

Most people in Open Source are generally Helpful.

Most carriers are running their own RCS relays now.

Those that don't fall back to Google but Google has said they're not going to allow freeloading for much longer.

But, AIUI, there's a conspiracy to only allow "approved" clients to uae any of them. Certs I'd guess but haven't looked deeply enough. GrapheneOS lacks an RCS client currently. Phones with full user ownership are also blocked.

Most people I know don't care and use Signal.

They're finally going to unleash a Bob / Clippy mashup that does something.

Hilarious stories await us.

Sad ones too.

They forked SailfishOS to create a domestic OS to avoid these kinds of problems.

Russian linux devs still contribute to that tree though Linus banned their ethnicity from his tree.

Since we're all speculating, probably their phone is clunky and some Generals kept their iPhones against advice or orders because they're more featureful and convenient.

We'll hear eventually.

If AI services are becoming too expensive in the current environment, we can look to nature for help. There is a an abundant species of large mammals in the ape family that can be trained to do this kind of work as well.
