This seems unfairly dismissive of someone who's proved themselves time and again. The article might not be about what you wish it was about but it's insightful about the topic it covers.
Activity Pub is a very popular way to decentralize.
With political uncertainty around centralized meteorological data infrastructure, it makes sense to continue the process of decentralization. The underlying APIs can be changed in the future if needed.
Not to defend Google because they violate privacy in many ways, but they absolutely do not share that level of data with partners. This is not some ethical decision. The data is just far too valuable to Google. Google is extracting as much value as they can from users, advertisers, and publishers, and if they sold access to the data itself, publishers and advertisers could begin cutting out Google. Instead Google gives advertisers a lot of control over what users to target, and uses the data inside a black box to show those ads.
Google is hoarding your data and using it to show you ads with minimal built-in opt-outs. But they aren't sell your data.
This is just a standard prompt hack. This will always exist with llms. They don't have any real understanding of language so safety protocols can't actually ban topics, only sets of words and phrases.
There was an extensive set of prompts working toward elder abuse before the result in question.
My guess is that the redditor who discovered it disguised it to look like homework and reproduced the hack, and added the "brother" to create more authentic rage bait.
When I was trying out passkeys, things allowed either passkey or password still. But yes, I think this need partially reduces the security benefit of passkeys.
It's a combination of issues. First is compatibility issues. Like logging in on mobile web or app with a passkey doesn't reliably work for me. It might have been due to the password manager, but for some things the option wasn't even there afaict. If I'm going to really switch to passkeys, I want it to work more reliably.
The second is usability. Passwords in a password manager are a 2 click entry on the username or password form field. Password managers have streamlined this system over the past decade.
Passkeys, ironically, required more steps when pulling from the password manager, including required clicks in less convenient places. I hope these types of issues get ironed out eventually.
I use a password manager with passkey support and still disabled all my passkeys. The user experience for passkeys is so much worse even when support exists.
Your comment strikes me as particularly harmful and misguided because autistic people are often specifically targeted for abuse and even seen as deserving of abuse.
I am sort of grateful, because you've unintentionally really made it starkly clear to me. We should not platform unrepentant enablers of abuse regardless of their prior contributions, it simply causes too much harm.
Yeah for sure. And regardless, I know some great security engineers who are ADHD.
