Comment Dumpster fire (Score 1) 62

The quoted article is a mess. It conflates multiple underlying issues and overblows it as a cybersecurity breach. Whatâ(TM)s happening here doesnâ(TM)t look like a like resulting from prompt engineering or anything of the sort. Instead there were compromises account credentials farmed out to a customer support service overseas. OpenAI should provide MFA. Thatâ(TM)s the story here. Not that text entered is going to randomly show up in someoneâ(TM)s account.

With that attitude, wait till you hear about the kind of confidential documents corporations store on Google Drive. This is a silly oversimplification. Practically everything we interact with uses cloud services these days, and there is certainly a spectrum of private to public disclosure involved.

Comment Influence campaign? (Score 1) 67

What are the odds that one or two governments already have much more advanced QCs running at scale? Iâ(TM)m not talking mass surveillance but I think itâ(TM)s quite plausible that the NSA of the US and Chinaâ(TM)s agencies as well would have access to one or several large QCs which could be used in a focused way to break encryption. Honestly I donâ(TM)t think itâ(TM)s far fetched looking at history, to imagine that the CIA is pushing for certain messaging through an influence campaign on behalf of the NSA to slow public sentiment around using different encryption methods. Regardless, I think for some industries it makes sense to use quantum-resistant encryption because of the mass data harvesting the NSA is already known to be doing, which could then be retroactively decrypted.
