I think it's past time we stop letting the doers of an org pass off responsibility for their actions. The engineers coded this. It is on them as much as it's on some nameless exec
And buried under the lede is that one of the compromised people was one of the organization owners. So it seems like the culture of insecurity comes from the top, which is unfortunate especially bc they keep acting like "this could've happened to anyone guys"
You're right, you can't run them in China, all models in China need to be vetted and approved by their cyberspace authority. But it's more of a "businesses cannot use them to provide services" kind of thing
They are not banning local inference. The USG has several fedramp dc's where they run local weights of several proprietary models. You guys are getting ridiculous
I don't really get why it's a free pass for you though. Some things should go without saying. Like being able to expose yourself in the most private area of your home for one of the more vulnerable moments you have. Why is "meta don't do this" such a non starter when it's this egregious?
You just shouldn't have to defend yourself to this level in a civilized country.
What no? It's pandering. Pandering of course works, that's why it's done. But just because you're the one being pandered to, doesn't mean it's not pandering.
There are theoretical attacks involving malicious weights. But the risk profile is so outrageously in favor of them not doing it that you'd essentially have to be an anti-China conspiracy theorist to find it plausible, let alone likely.
This only applies if the sole reason of the purchase is to gate an apple capability. If the purchase does more than that, literally anything, you can gate all the apple parts on an iPhone.
That unit is a symptom of their prodigious skill not the cause. Israelis are good at cyber for the same reason the US is good, and the same reason Russia is good. They have an outsized tech industry.
The os exploit is, within this context, after the fact and therefore a non sequitur. You should look up the Project Zero watering hole analysis where they revealed something like 17 0-days being delivered to visitors of one particular site. It's likely that citizen labs only had windows exemplars.
Not to jump on you after everyone else did (although I agree with them), but they didn't give you a solution. The solution is unfortunately for everyone a robust KYC regime. Then the linkages stop being impossible to track and instead become merely burdensome.
And it also conveniently omits the monstrosity that was the Russian intervention in the 2016 election that precipitated all this and instead claims "the Trump admin never substantiated..." Like yeah, that's part of the original problem!
Where was this guy when cybercom destroyed the Internet Agency's computers and sent them personalized text messages in a highly publicized attack?
Omg this site sometimes. Bring back all the people shouting "it's a stochastic parrot!" and "How many r's are in strawberry." Lol how the times change.
Ah yes, the cyber equivalent of going to a fire department's press release with a "free Tibet" sign and getting upset when people ask you why you're picketing
I think my response would be that, all of those lessons are trained into an llm, and are also available as documentation for every platform/OS. So if the llm can just read the docs for three operating systems and generate three native binaries following three sets of documentation why not let it? Humans obviously cannot, but we shouldn't let our hangups impede our tools.
It's easy to not think things through. You know who else can't be talked out of hysterical or violent episodes? Adults. But it's still very much a crime for a good Samaritan to physically restrain an adult going through a violent episode. It's the definition of kidnapping and assault and battery.
The government was passing constitutional amendments and major legislation like the Civil Rights Act back then. I'm surprised you're surprised (I'm not actually, citizens being wholly ignorant of even recent history has been entirely normalized and not even shamed anymore).
Ah nice. You know Apple literally invented Bonjour and mDNS? They know what's on your network. The only difference is that we applaud them for it. Does the apple tv do acr? It has to, to do the first party "magic" it does. Again, we just applaud them for it because they "only use it for first party services." Why are you so offended that Apple is just another for profit megacorp.
It's not extremely cheap for an Apple product. It's the same price as all of their accessories. It's similar in price to the cheap phones they sell. Why are you trying to convince yourself this is cheap?
Apple literally does do the same thing. Especially (!) with Apple TV. Go read the eula's again. Apple TV, Apple Maps & Apple News all perform data mining largely akin to how their competitors do it. There are specific carve outs for those three services.
