Whats the issue with the POC video? I dont understand why thats surprising

Don't you think the style of video looks a bit unprofessional? It's like the next iPhone being presented by the Apple CEO but using a vTuber avatar with subway surfer gameplay in the background.

In some circles it is a sign of credibility. Leaking it beforehand is very unprofessional, however.

After all, furries run the internet.

I was griping about my day being ruined over the breakfast table and my son was interested. I showed him the video and he asked why there was an anime girl on the screen?

My response was "if you've worked with computers for any length of time, and you ever see a video of a terminal posted with an anime, catgirl, or furry overlay, you know something really bad is coming your way."

is this about to become the new meta? become a furry anime catgirl just to get people to take you more seriously?

> After all, furries run the internet.

And how's that going?

I dunno. Php aside, has it been up today, and every single day since you started using it?

"Up" is an ambiguous term, and then we have to get into what is actually being done with the internet while it is "up".

sounds like a good time

well it isn't apple, you should expect a different brand of professionalism :p

Before the official fix someone published it, and it seems the person is not associated with Calif: https://x.com/k_firsov

How did they get access to the script though? The output seems to be identical to the real PoC, so it looks like the same script.

Which makes someone to think, whether Calif could not wait for the responsible disclosure. Or someone leaked the video for someone they should not have.

They got access to the video, not the script. Calif authored the video and it was accidentally made public.
