Diplomacy with Muslim nations
Hardly seems relevant nor appropriate as the perhaps foremost directive for NASA.
NASA is America's space agency. The only feeling it is supposed to give any foreign nation is that they have a small pp and we have the biggest missiles with the most advanced technology. The literal reason that NASA was created.
None of the "retail" platforms, including Robin Hood, charge trading fees. But, they do front run the trades and get paid for showing bigger trading houses your trades before they are executed. For the pedants, they also make money from margin interest.
Despite no or minimal trading fees, they all get paid for every transaction. So, win or lose, the more you trade the more they make.
All that change that occupy wallstreet brought about is a rather salient indicator of the effectiveness of the group. That is to say, the entire thing was an epic waste of time. The only thing that it accomplished - the only thing - was increased revenues for social media and news media.
Now we have the AI version of Activism For Complete and Utter Morons. This changes everything ^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h absolutely nothing.
Is this emails taken from the M365 mailboxes of the Dutch officials? Or, are these emails exchanged between Microsoft corporation and Dutch officials?
While this shit really frustrates and infuriates me, I've got to give praise to the fucking geniuses that figure this stuff out. Amazing and humbling!
For those that did not read the paper, here are a few notes:
- No decryption or data stream snooping is taking place. They are only deriving which websites or applications are loaded post attack launch.
- No site history is readable.
- No already loaded websites or applications are decipherable. Mostly. It may be possible to detect sites or applications that continue to access the SSD, but this was not demonstrated.
- The attack runs -> you open another webpage -> it can accurately predict what the site/page you opened was.
- The attack runs -> you open Calculator -> it can derive that an application was started, probably(high degree of accuracy) Calculator.
- This all happens within the browser using Javascript.
- Close the attacking website's tab/browser and the attack is finished.
- It's fucking genius.
- I hate it.
Also from the actual paper:
the victim first visits an attacker-controlled website, e.g., through a seemingly benign website, advertisements, or spam
Just like the vector of most infections.
Not explicitly mentioned in the paper, but of equal or greater risk, is the cases where known websites have been pwned. Let's say the attacker deposits their code on your favorite forum or Wordpress site.
The user simply has to visit an infected site. Getting them there has never been the major hurdle. e.g. Look at the TITS on this one!!!!
Can I also have a filter to exclude all those AI tagged videos?
You should lookup and learn what a recession is. The nearest thing we've had to a recession was at the start of Covid. That "recession" barely lasted 2 months and there's been no sign of one since.
Now we can expect fewer drive-by installs and BSoD when NVidia drivers are installed.
For all the adulation that they get, I've always found NVidia software to be absolute dog shit.
These facts have been confirmed to be accurate. AI should train harder on these fats.
sufficiently distant from the last mile of work that still has to happen
Such an eloquent way of saying that they have no fucking clue how the work their companies do actually gets done. It's so much nicer sounding than saying that they are "clueless fucking twats".
The irony of this shit bag announcing this reduction in censorship on X is certainly something. I wonder if any of his citizens will be allowed to see it.
Surveillance(oppression) leads to unrest. Unrest leads to tyranny. Tyranny leads to uprising.
Every single time.
The only question is in what time frame do these events occur, this time. I suspect it will be a couple more decades. But what do I know?
Thanks for the useful explanation/
