@vmstan@vmst.io Bluesky’s new Chief “Gonna Be An Exec At Some Crypto Exchange In 6 Months Or Less” Officer.
Guess she didn’t bring in the revenue fast enough.

@User47@vmst.io Essentially performative, the percentage of anyone trying this is negligible and training data will be sanitized for obvious garbage before being used. And the models are already highly capable, you’re not going to make a model stupid with some Markov nonsense pages.
I think vocal pushback by a lot of people is a lot more effective at trying to take a stand against the overuse of AI.

@julian As someone who’s been on Fedi a lot longer than you I feel confident in saying that this is a terrible take. The cranks and HOA are a distinct minority and get pushback all the time. I find it extremely tiresome to have posts like this continuing to push this narrative of ‘Fedi sucks’ because it’s cheap engagement 😑

@404mediaco@mastodon.social When the construct laughed, it came through as something else, not laughter, but a stab of cold down Case’s spine.
“Do me a favor, boy.”
“What’s that, Dix?”
“This scam of yours, when it’s over, you erase this goddam thing.”

So… “your data is safe even if the server is breached” and also “nothing can prevent data compromise if an attacker controls the server”. Subtle difference, I guess - maybe your vault is uncrackable if the data leaks/is stolen, but the actual worst case threat model is where an attacker has backdoored your infrastructure. (2/3)

The only way to win is not to play - and 1Password removed the ability to have local vaults in order to increase shareholder value. I cringe every time I see that page of theirs that proudly claims that “1Password has never been breached” because the headline revealing a massive 1Password breach is simply inevitable. (3/3)

"At present there’s no practical method for a user to verify the public key they’re encrypting data to belongs to their intended recipient. As a consequence it would be possible for a malicious or compromised 1Password server to provide dishonest public keys to the user, and run a successful attack. Under such an attack, it would be possible for the 1Password server to acquire vault encryption keys with little ability for users to detect or prevent it.” (1/3)

I’ve come to realize as an “unc” that there is a whole generation for which “the Internet” is Reddit, TikTok, and Discord. None of these people will move off of Discord, just like the Reddit revolt, at the end of the day the platforms locked down control once they were already too entrenched to be dislodged.
It’s supremely annoying to me since there are a lot of projects that are Discord-primary for support 😕

Don’t understand why there is so much effort astroturfing Vitamin D on HackerNews. Yes, it’s a crowd that is always up for the next wave in Nerd Cred (remember Soylent?) but vitamin D is kind of like your father’s snake oil, it’s the opposite of New and Cool.

Gen Z ruins everything, episode 27.

@julian We’re approaching a version of the Terminator universe where site access will have to be restricted to in-person verified human beings while AI agents scan surveillance cameras and phone traffic to identify humans with access to target sites and deepfake them to obtain access credentials.
Our only hope may be the Gibson Sprawl end where the AIs cease to give a shit about humanity and just talk to each other.
