25min old account called ChatGPT with a single post. It’s spam.

TL;DR: monopolistic price fixing

gravitas_deficiency ,

Yeah they likely tried to cheap out and use wood for part of it

Man, the last threat the author received was absolutely BEGGING for the navy seal copypasta lololol

But W10 likely won’t ever get the “feature” of OCRing your entire workspace and serializing the results to plaintext.

gravitas_deficiency ,

Nah. That would require them to retroactively change the hardware requirements for the OS, which they’re simply not going to do.

Lemmy.ml tankie censorship problem

I feel like we need to talk about Lemmy’s massive tankie censorship problem. A lot of popular lemmy communities are hosted on lemmy.ml. It’s been well known for a while that the admins/mods of that instance have, let’s say, rather extremist and onesided political views. In short, they’re what’s colloquially referred to...

Inaccurate - the tankie pulling the switch would be smiling

But you’re ignoring the entire enterprise side of things. MS Recall + pervasive data mining and ad injections are things that the vast majority of IT departments are going to refuse to sign off on. These technologies meaningfully and fundamentally undermine organizational and system security, up to and including potential inadvertent exposure of cryptographic secrets, which the modern internet is basically built on top of.

Sure, consumers are likely going to acquiesce out of either laziness or ignorance. But IT orgs aren’t going to simply sign off on this - particularly if they’re operating in an industry where InfoSec really matters (basically, any regulated industry like medical, biotech, or aerospace).

gravitas_deficiency ,

Perhaps, but at this point, the only ones who actually know the endgame strategy are product people at MS, and they’re almost certainly bound by NDAs on that topic.

gravitas_deficiency ,

Lmao do you have any idea how quickly that’s going to go off the rails? They’re going to get into a hallucination feedback loop, which will destroy the integrity of their systems and processes, and they’ll richly deserve it.

At any rate, most highly-effective technical teams have already automated the shit out of all their rote operations without using ML.

gravitas_deficiency ,

Then those IT departments should be blackballed from the industry, because the nature of that invasive surveillance is WILDLY insecure.

gravitas_deficiency ,

You should talk to a woman sometime. They’ve dealt with getting the willies from “normal straight men” hitting on them since time immemorial.

gravitas_deficiency ,

Do you genuinely not realize how incredibly oblivious and tone deaf you’re being here? It’s actually kind of darkly magnificent to observe.

gravitas_deficiency , (edited )

You got dat skibidi ohio rizz, my dude.

Edit: that’s not a compliment

gravitas_deficiency ,

Ho-leee fuck bud, you have lost the plot

gravitas_deficiency , (edited )

You clearly got some kinda messed up toxic shit going on.

Not to mention, you’re trying to use your personal anecdotal experiences to justify and/or downplay prejudice against entire categories of humans - here, homosexual people, but in other comments in this thread, you’re categorically dismissing the fact that in comparison to what women have had to deal with since the dawn of society, youre basically just having a Tuesday.

So yeah - I’m hostile to your worldview because your worldview is deeply caustic and offensive, and you’re using it to justify prejudice. You’re just being a fragile, egotistical, prejudicial snowflake.

If you say that as a US resident, you either don’t understand how our electoral system works, or you’re trying to push some fifth column bullshit.

gravitas_deficiency , (edited )

It’s entirely a nonstarter for entire fucking industries. That’s not hyperbole. I work in one of them.

Edit: scratch that - If any infosec team, anywhere, in any industry, at any corporation or organization, doesn’t categorically refuse to certify for use any system that is running MS Recall, they should be summarily fired and blackballed from the industry. It’s that bad. For real: this is how secrets (as in, cryptographic) get leaked. The exposure and liability inherent to this service is comical in the extreme. This may actually kill the product.

E2: to the title’s implication that such trust can be earned: it kinda can’t. That’s basically the point of really good passwords and secrets (private keys, basically): nobody else knows them. To try to dance around that is fundamentally futile. Also: who am I kidding, this shit will sell like hotcakes. Everyone’s on fucking Facebook, and look how horrifically they exploit everyone’s data for goddamn everything. This isn’t much worse than that to the average mostly-tech-illiterate consumer.

gravitas_deficiency ,

well you can cross-fuck off.

gravitas_deficiency ,

Huh! TIL!

gravitas_deficiency ,

Just skip the intermediate naming conventions and go straight to dom/sub

gravitas_deficiency ,

Right??? I’m continually floored by how many genuinely smart people I come across who ignore this concept, which is one of the biggest reasons I just don’t trust LLMs in a general sense. Like sure, I can use them fairly effectively, but the vast majority of the people who interact with LLMs don’t use a level of caution with them that’s appropriate.

And that doesn’t even touch on the huge ethical (and legal) issues around how LLM devs acquire and use training data.

gravitas_deficiency ,

It does smack a bit of manufactured outrage, doesn’t it?

It’s called the American Dream because you’re got to be asleep to believe it

It’s just Goodhart’s Law:

When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure.

gravitas_deficiency ,

In a hilarious and infuriating side note, MS is obviously doing their absolute best to blame-shift here.

It’s code. It’s a project someone made to graphically illustrate and demonstrate, in the wild, why the entire concept of MS Recall is an absolutely awful, foundationally-flawed idea. It is not a “hacker tool”. The MS c-suite and board members are just pissed that stock go down as a result of their stupidity, and they’re looking for people to blame who aren’t themselves.

Yeah but that doesn’t roll off the tongue quite as nicely

I knew it was a branch that was going to come about sooner or later, but I so wish it had a less dumb and boomer-sounding name. Like… come on. We are the country that made Star Trek. We built a CVN named Enterprise as a not-so-subtle nod to the series. We could have had the United States Star Fleet.

People have checked; they definitely did, per the docs.

Frankly, gaming is not a use case they really need to focus on right now. I’m betting that’ll improve in time, also.

gravitas_deficiency ,

You can test for a use case that you’re not optimized for just to prove it’s possible. Which is what it sounds like they’re doing.

What I’m saying is that their primary business case out of the gates is enterprise and consumer laptops and mid/high-tier tablets, and they are not explicitly targeting gaming at the moment as a core use case for Snapdragon X.

Spotify is raising the cost of Premium subscriptions, again (www.engadget.com)

Spotify is officially raising its Premium subscription rates in the US come July, following reports of the move in April. The platform is increasing its Individual plan from $11 to $12 monthly and its Duo plan from $15 to $17 monthly — the same jump as last year’s $1 and $2 price hikes, respectively. However, its Family plan...

gravitas_deficiency ,

Yeah - credit where it’s due, Spotify did a really good job with their music recommendation engine. It’s just that recently, they’ve started to get into the sad part of the enshittification cycle. I kinda saw the writing on the wall when they started forcing Joe Rogan podcast promos fucking everywhere, without having a config anywhere to disable podcast suggestions (which I don’t use through Spotify)

gravitas_deficiency ,

Oh I started getting them years ago. That’s when the first inkling of “this thing might be going downhill now” entered my mind.

gravitas_deficiency ,

They’re gonna need a way for IT departments to categorically disable Recall from doing any visual capture/scraping of data. I work in a HIPAA-constrained industry, and the entire concept of MS’s Recall is 100% a non-starter. The legal liability alone categorically disqualifies it from being an acceptable piece of software to run on ANY system that has access to ANY PII or PHI.

gravitas_deficiency ,

No, we do not. Our corporate network connectivity is pretty tightly controlled, and non-issue devices are not permitted on sensitive networks - either VPN or on-premises. I haven’t bothered asking, but I would assume they’re doing system-wide MAC filters as one of the security layers.

I mean yeah it’s possible to exfil data, but it definitely takes some effort, and doing so would be a willful violation of some pretty significant security policies (up to and including “you’re fired, security will escort you out”, depending on the data and the circumstances”), and, you know, it’s nice having a job. Not to mention, I think HIPAA and GDPR privacy stuff, while often tedious in terms of implementation, are absolutely good and worthwhile things for consumers and users, and should not be ignored for expediency or profit.

If Trump gets elected again, there is no version of this situation that ends well for Zelenskyy and Ukraine. Nothing was lost by saying this.

gravitas_deficiency ,

I know they were trying to explore all possible options before resorting to Article 7, but holy fuck did they take their sweet time, and Ukrainians died (and continue to die) as a result.

I’m simply baffled that someone going into a computer engineering major at a university doesn’t understand a hierarchical file system as a matter of course. It’s a tree. The file system is a tree. A tree is one of the most basic computer science logical constructs. How exactly is a filesystem confusing? How is navigating directories from a terminal - any terminal, in any OS - a Herculean task?
