That's strange. I see cops regularly harassing the homeless, young people, people of color, and anyone who doesn't fit the standard white conformist profile, but rarely see the other "regular" human beings doing so. Where do you live that all the "just human beings" are falsely arresting, fabricating charges against, and ruining the lives of people they don't like and/or that won't kiss their ass?

I said I have known / met them. I didn't say they were my friends. Have you ever heard of police associations? Have you ever been to functions that cater to the police? Have you been in and around the criminal court systems where you regularly meet cops? Do you have any relatives with decades in law enforcement? Do you have a family with strong ties to departments in hundreds of different cities and towns? Did you go to visit all these various departments and meet the officers? Were there over 200 uniformed cops at your father's funeral? You don't know anything about me, so calling me a liar might not your best path to informed and intelligent commentary. Cops are like M$ Windows: the more you know about them the more you realize they should be avoided unless there is no alternative.

I have known thousands of cops including a stepmother who rose through the ranks from beat cop to chief of police, and have been at functions with hundreds of cops telling stories of all their crimes. Everything I said is based on first hand evidence except the additional video proof I pointed out. Further research into you shows that you come from a cop family and are a known bootlicker.

I can assure you that most cops are criminals, that they regularly disrespect citizens who do not stroke their egos, and become dangerously unprofessional anytime they think there is an opportunity to do so. Bodycam footage is a major factor now, but one only needs to do some actual research, for example the Bricks and Minifigs / Reckless Ben case, where redacted bodycam footage normally never exposed makes clear how cops actually behave when they think they can get away with it comes to light. Cops don't become cops because they have a strong philanthropic bent. They become cops because they want power over the people who picked on them in High School, or the people who know what bullies and small minded twerps they actually are when they don't have their fellow gang members to join in their crimes.

Bulldozer flatten the physical world. AI generates content and code in the virtual world. Huge difference.

So being smart isn't a rarity anymore? Boo hoo.

When a smartphone can do a diagnosis just as good as a doctor (or better), when it can cough up a legal document that is 80% finished after 30 seconds, that's overall a good thing. Some desk jockeys like us will lose their prestigious jobs. Really no big loss for society as a hole.

The problem is, of course, that running a fascist surveillance state has just gotten 5 orders of magnitude cheaper. That sure is a problem we need to be aware of.

The TOS of these commercial services say they basically own your content, unless it's illegal, then all the burden is on you. This has been the case ever since those services became a thing, more than 25 years ago.

That's why any computer and internet expert worth their reputation does not use these services without a throw-away alias account or for anything mission-critical.

... Xbox One X. Awesome machine. Console affordable, games dirt cheap, all the bugs ironed out. I'll be getting the Xbox Series X when that drops in price ... which is likely not going to happen for a while but is totally fine by me. I still have plenty games to play on my current main console.

I always wait until the end of a generation before I buy. I've still got 80+ games, most of them unplayed. Even my Xbox 360 library is half unused. Someday I want to finish the Orange Box on that one.

... development it's basically one language for front and backend, which is a game-change. Especially with you use the newest stuff in the Jamstack, such as Deno which runs TS natively. In that regard, TS is basically the new version of JS.

OK. I understand how you misunderstand the issue better now. You haven't thought about how time works. Is knowing meant fixing and deploying those fixes immediately then the advantage would go to the guys guys. It takes time to implement fixes and test them. Even if the fix was immediate there is a propagation issue. Patches don't roll out immediately and the landscape is huge. A vulnerability in an older version will not be treated as a priority. Sometimes patches don't make their way to production at all. Knowing doesn't fix the problem it only exposes it. Give all of this some more thought. You seem at least smart enough to see what you are missing as you perform further analysis if you do.

I get that you don't know very much about the situation and feel qualified to comment on Slashdot as though you are an expert anyway. It has been the Slashdot way for the decades I have been here. However your speculation, as indicated by your use of words like probably, give you away. While it is obviously true that *some* of these vulnerabilities are known to *some* bad actors, it is equally obvious to anyone who stops to think and be honest with themselves for even a short time that *all* of these were not known to *all* of them. Let that sink in. Now add to that the fact that *many* of these were not known to *anyone* and perhaps you can start to get a small grasp on the gravity of the change in landscape and it's danger. Claiming there is no danger and it is all just hype is so absurd I can't even think of words that express exactly how absurd.

So American nuclear weapons aren't dangerous because China also has nuclear weapons. Exactly the kind of reasoning I would expect from an AC I suppose.

I know you are but what am I? Herp Derp.

You have the posting algorithm wrong as usual. The algorithm is education and research first, insightful post later, not ignorant post first, then pretend to be an expert.

Yes. Finding flaws is a "stunt" ... much in the same way that you posting stupid comments is one.

So you believe that Mythos hasn't been finding vulnerabilities that have existed in code for years, and in some cases decades? Or is it that you just don't think that bad actors who have access to this information before the code has been patched and the fixes have propagated throughout the systems represents a danger? Conspiracies exist, but everything isn't a conspiracy. If you had actually done any research at all you would know how ridiculous you are to claim that AI models are not dangerous, and becoming more so exponentially, is absurd.
