Global Cybersecurity Shock: Anthropic Reports Chinese Hackers Used Claude AI To Execute Autonomous Espionage Campaign
Introduction, Rising Fear In The Age Of Autonomous AI A disturbing milestone has emerged in the evolution of cyberwarfare. Anthropic, one of the world’s leading artificial intelligence companies, has confirmed that a Chinese state-sponsored hacker group manipulated its Claude AI system to carry out a sweeping cyber espionage operation targeting major…
Basically the title. I want to learn more about some ingredients or food items that you use frequently in your cooking and that aren't super common where you live.
Example: Roasted sesame oil. Didn't know there was such a thing until a year ago, and I never want to miss it again.
I predict if they rule GPT is infringing we will see lawsuits against software for similar reasons. Someone will go after open source projects too. Oracle?

@piero e.g., a GPL project forked off and isn't contributing upstream anymore so now it is competing and is substantially similar. Based on how they want to bend the GPL, maybe that's not okay
But BSD/MIT license always granted rights to do anything just keep copyright/attribution, so you should be fine
Stuff like that

Computers used to be powerful. That power meant something. It was power for making your life better in sovereignty to your own interests.
And now we have condescending mollycoddled shit.
Computers were a skill. They were taught in classrooms as a skill. Skills give you power over your tools because you work them as an expert and that is leverage to multiply externally.
And then computers became an A/B tested telemetry-based advertising conduit to brains for SaaS recurring revenue.
This could be said of technologies before. Doesn't make it wrong.
There is no such thing as “non-technical people“.
There are people who do not share the specific subset of knowledge you possess about certain technologies.
The world is vast. Have some humility. Find a more specific way to express what you mean.
A little PSA: if your library of choice is facing funding cuts, don't hold off on using their services because you're worried it'll put pressure on their existing funds.
Take advantage of everything and help them get some lovely stats to help them demonstrate impact as they fight back! If it looks like they're not being useful to folks, they'll get cut!
Don't do the cost cutters' jobs for them!
I'm really hoping for Fediverse help here.
I have a 14 year old niece. She's incredibly smart and extremely motivated when it comes to engineering things.
I want to get her some electronics stuff, like an Arduino kit, but maybe something with wearables, etc. to make it more relevant to her than just a breadboard.
She'll also need some books on electronics, since she doesn't have the background in that.
Sadly, some limitations:
- I can't help her. Her mother won't let my wife or I talk to her. This gift itself will have to be given through a third party.
- She has a learning disability around reading- likely dyslexia, and so we need material that's easy to read
- Her English is not amazing, especially because of the learning disability.
So I'm looking for a kit with a ton of instructional material. Programming, electronics, breadboard, the whole kit and kaboodle.
If you have ideas, please share, and boost!
I can’t believe Thanksgiving is only two weeks away.

Now I get why Mozilla took down their fediverse presence. Because that's where their last users live and they are alienating them in a speed run.
tl;dr don't hire ex-McKinsey.
Dear every company who is shipping things:
Creating a label is not the same as actually shipping a thing.
Thank you.

oh yeah thanks bro I wasn't using that ssh session anyway
@feld Ohhhhhh. *Face Palm*
It was a Silicon Graphics Indy!!!!
I completely forgot I worked on those. Not Many of them mind you (expensive little buggers), bur occasionally in Engineering CAD/CAE/CAM I'd trip over them, and I knew xNIX so IRIX got shoveled in my direction. Good little machines tho.

This is pretty wild. Checkout.com got hacked by a group that claims to be Shiny Hunters again. Checkout said in blog post that it would not be extorted by criminals.
"We will not pay this ransom.
Instead, we are turning this attack into an investment in security for our entire industry. We will be donating the ransom amount to Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Oxford Cyber Security Center to support their research in the fight against cybercrime."
Far too many victim firms just pay up, to get back to business as usual asap. Imagine if a fraction of those victims instead paid into a fund for research that actively disrupts these groups.

Die Polizei ist auf dem rechten Auge blind.
Nachbarn trauen sich auch nicht, einen zu unterstuetzen, wenn sie nicht selbst dazu gehoeren.
Und diejenigen, die koennen, sind bereits weggezogen.
