I don’t believe that, there’s probably some missing data. Outside the techno echo chamber that HNers live in, most people use the defaults. I see people using adware browsers that were installed without their knowledge. Computers are just too complex for most people to notice details like what web browser they use.
Synthetic opioids sold at gas stations.
It doesn't make much difference if you perform similar practices in a different country. UK police are just like American police.
Junkies et al can log into chatgpt right now and use it to create a phishing email to steal drug money from your Grandma. Many people saw this coming.
Who cares? The valet could do any number of other attacks, like stealing the car, sabotage, adding a tracker, whatever. Threat modeling is important, otherwise security can harm one's own goals. Sometimes you have to briefly trust another person. I'd rather have an open shell inside a locked room when the alternative is no access at all.
I don't think it should be outright banned, automated intelligence is like a gun, hammer, knife, nuclear warhead, etc.
Pharmaceutical companies do make clinical decisions, it just isn't called a clinical decision. But they decide what research to pursue, and thereby decide which drugs exist for the doctor to choose.
So? If I were a US based malware dev that’s what I’d do to avoid detection…
We can call all these inaccurate methods The Injustice System. Next episode: The Dishonorable AI Judge.
Shopping carts don't choose items, you do, you [redacted].
It's not about stopping crime, it's about control.
How about we not form our society into a jail?
This is a hilarious take
I'm not advocating for silence, your reading comprehension is lacking.
Clickbaiters abused the concept of a hook until the hook itself was seen as clickbaity.
When did the electrician's house burn down?
I also love that feature on your bluetooth speaker because I can turn it on from inside your walls.
Well yeah, Facebook has been a data harvesting scheme from the beginning. It was originally called LifeLog. It is not part of the “free” web.
Who is anyone to decide that some life forms are “lower”? I don’t see it as a big leap.
if it were a real threat you would probably quickly identify someone who is unwilling to turn off their Bluetooth.
I think its going to be tough for society to reconcile with the fact that we are not so unique as we thought. Maybe it never will. Some animals are self-aware. Plants and fungus can communicate with each other via underground networks. Some of them move, react to stimuli, communicate with others in their species, and are able to differentiate between their offspring and other neighbors of the same species. Is it really any different to be a vegan or a carnivore?
Boiled lobsters actually do feel pain. Some dogs have a somewhat complex understanding of human emotion and language. We had all these hopeful assumptions that we told each other in order to make us feel better about the fact that you must consume living things to be a living thing, and it seems like those are all slowly being proven wrong.
I have met several people who are uncomfortable with the 'master/slave' terminology. In my experience, those who do not experience much racism in their day to day lives do not find it offensive, and vice versa. Therefore, it is at least slightly offensive in my opinion.
Once I was explaining how my day went to an ex, and my day happened to involve the terms, and they were absolutely floored that those terms were still used. Then the whole conversation was about racism in tech, and that had significantly less aura than my story of how I fixed everything. Beware ye olde words, lest ye scare thein hoes.
That would not solve the problem. On a radio, you could have a moment of interference and only receive 'crash' when someone broadcasts 'good crash'. It is better to avoid certain words entirely. There is also no reason to use those specific words when you could describe, e.g. a software crash as a software problem, error, issue, etc.
This would probably be a supply chain attack if it ever happens.
Someone could have told them it was anything else that you wouldn't want on your body. Like, fart spray or whatever. A prank. That behavior doesn't really tell you anything conclusive, but I guess they just let anyone be a cop these days.
You can't really turn off most BLE devices with internal batteries, off means low power mode nowadays. Some of them are still discoverable on wireshark when they are 'off'.
Sometimes I see my BT speaker broadcasting BLE info when it is turned off. Most things do not really 'turn off' these days.
The idea wasn't to convince anyone of anything, it was to reduce RF noise so the cops could find the offending device more quickly. Also if it were a real threat you would probably quickly identify someone who is unwilling to turn off their Bluetooth.
While it may or may not be infeasible, it is entirely possible to determine the source of a radio signal. It is also possible to overlay that tech on a camera feed so that you get a composite image showing like, someone standing in the airport & their Bluetooth info above their head.
I would not find it surprising if I learned that a system like this already existed in many airports. I mean now with AI the whole thing could be automated if you don't care about a few egregious errors here and there.
Devices with built-in batteries are ok for checked bags in the US (though, the temperature swing isn't good for their long term health, and whichever airline you choose may have their own further restriction on that). It's just removable batteries that must be removed.
