Which is, of course, nonsense. Nothing stops you from making a copy of encrypted data. What sucks is that for a backup, you likely can't do incremental.

Really? I've never, ever heard that pitch for AI.

Also, the amount of energy required to reverse it... it's hard to see where that could possibly have come from.

The name of the product is "Bomb", and "Bomb" is the default Bluetooth name.

I don't know whether that makes you advice invalid, or all the more salient.

ROTFL

Social engineering redux... except now you only have to convince a sycophantic and overly helpful AI.

Denotating it is exactly what the Bluetooth name does. *Detonating* it, on the other hand...

You realize that's the point, right?

Yeah? So how come he never speaks and has the language comprehension of a 3-year-old?

Many people incorrectly think of proxies and VPNs (especially VPNs) as a security and privacy enhancement, but unless you're operating the proxy/VPN server yourself they're just as likely to be a massive security and privacy risk. The problem is that they concentrate all of the traffic you'd most like to keep secret in one server, and depending on exactly how the system works, may require installing software on your local machine with ~root permissions. If the operator is malicious, this is a really dangerous combination.

These are useful tools for location shifting and -- in fairly rare cases, and with VPNs only -- from hiding traffic from malicious. But third-party proxy/VPN services should always be viewed with suspicion. Obviously this is even more true when the provider is Russian... though it's pretty likely that wasn't made clear to the people who used the service.

A person can be sane and immoral, sane and moral, insane and immoral or insane and moral. "Orthogonal" is perhaps a little too strong, since it implies the absence of any relationship, but certainly all the combinations are possible.

In your case it might simply be that there was not enough of this kind of tasks in the training data.

How did you "just get" something that has yet to be released?

Nobody does AI on Linux so it makes so much more sense to keep playing three legged racing with Microsoft tied to you. NOT.
NVidia has always been tied to MSFT and their Linux software has always looked like it was done by a single NVidia employee after hours in the basement office.
Besides, Windows is sooo 'yesterday' no matter how much Microsoft pays Qualcomm or NVidia to tie themselves up with.

I agree in general, but not with this strong phrasing. I've let AI build a good amount of non-trivial code. But my consistent experience is that it works best when guided by an experienced coder who can correct it, and when implementing well-known algorithms rather than coming up with novel solutions.

Example: I let it write up a quadtree implementation in a language for which there was no ready solution online. It took 2-3 correcting prompts to get a good result. I could've done it myself but it would've likely taken a few hours to get it all right instead of the half or so hour it took with AI. The important part for me was that there's nothing unknown in how to implement a quadtree. All the AI needs to do is take the 100s of existing implementations and translate them into a different language.
