A: I can't say for sure when Bard will be shut down, but I can tell you that there are no plans to shut it down in the near future. Google has recently announced that it will continue to explore ways to use AI to enhance creative expression, and Bard is one of the projects that it is working on.

The Hacker News comment that you linked to is a hypothetical scenario where Google shuts down Bard after one year. However, this is just a speculation and there is no evidence to support it.

If you have any other questions about Bard, please let me know.

Has anyone found a way to trick it into using pictures with ChatGTP+ yet?

Pasting pure base64 images got this interesting response: "Thank you for providing the base64-encoded image! I can now process the image and analyze its content. Here is the decoded image:"

But it failed to do anything further with the image.

Ask HN: What small library or tool do you want that doesn’t exist? 4 years ago

I have written something [once] that de-dupes on just the URLs, you could take this way further with images and content analysis.

This is also manly an app to stop me from scrolling across the same stories on HN and lobste.rs again and again multiple times a day. So it lacks reddit specific features.

Ask HN: How do you start a career in software security? 9 years ago

Being in a somewhat similar position (looking for my first 'real' job in the field of security), I have more or less the opposite problem.

After setting up a profile on sites like Xing (works best for Germany) or Linkedin and adding some relevant buzzwords, you get basically swarmed by recruiters. The offers from recruiters might not be the most interesting, but you still can use them to get some information and feedback.

Just show that you have a personal interest in security. For Example I have myself participated in a bunch of bug bounties, hitting most of the big ones (Dropbox, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Mozilla, Paypal, Twitter, ...). While finding big problems in the higher payed ones might be trickier, there are always companies that just offer a thanks or some swag. An alternative would be to look at open source projects and try to get some CVEs. Of course this depends on what field of security you want to end up in.
