That would be great improvement to both Canada and New England/west coast however I do not see that ever happening given trigger happy authoritarian in charge would simply use that as an excuse for military occupation of said states. They’d use the same excuse as Russia did for invading crimea except they’d sort of have a point because there is no “legal” way for a state to secede by its own volition I don’t think.

    Ahh yes the local police! An infamous bastion of web security, IT infrastructure, and thinking long term. Who could ever crack the default passwords on their IT setup? How could we ever hope to social engineer these above average intelligence elite local cops into plugging in a usb drive to their work computer. This is all definitely impossible, no local police branch has ever been a victim of ransomware so we know for sure it can’t be done and deserves all the cynicism and comparisons to Hollywood movies from the 80s.

    Of course we also know that by “anonymous types” I meant that one specific group of people you have in mind who did that one thing 10 years ago and not just socially conscious programmers with basic knowledge of social engineering and web infrastructure. That would be a ridiculous thing to mean of course.

    You watch too much tv. All you need is to degrade the quality of the recorded video on any camera exposed to the public internet enough for ai to have divergent results due to how ambiguous the images captured are. There are thousands of hobby projects that let you browse actual feeds from such cameras and usually that means you can get hardware metadata and in most cases change how the video is recorded by patching the driver running on the already publicly accessed cameras. Why make an exaggerated strawman argument while at the same time pretending you know better than everyone else?

    That’s exactly what most junior devs do when stuck. They rehash the same solution over and over and it almost seems like that llms trained on code bases infer that behavior from commit histories etc.

    It almost feels like on of those “we taught him these tasks incorrectly as a joke” scenarios

    It’d be a shame if anonymous types started working on poisoning all publicly accessible cameras with ai poison pills that brick whatever model you try to run on the footage

    Might as well stop referring to it as the US government. Nobody in US has any say how they act, just call it trump dictatorship or just the Putin government or something

    Hard to accept a “skeptic” in a field with overwhelming evidence that he’s wrong. It means he either doesn’t or refuses to understand the current data which makes him just a dummy not a skeptic

    Idk about how good Apple is at developing phones anymore though. I’m sure if they tried to innovate it would be good but they’re experts at slow dripping features invented and released by other manufacturers after many years of already being on the market. They’re late on AI, they’re not the best phone for the photo obsessed, they’re not bringing new exciting things to the phones, and they’re by far not competitive on pricing. Not sure what they really bring other than advertising and planned obsolescence of batteries and other components. I say this fully aware of irony of typing it on an iPhone, which I cannot wait to replace as soon as my car supports android auto or I find a way to spoof car play for bmw v7 car sortware. I have a 2 year old iPhone and it’s been nothing but a downgrade from my ancient galaxy s9 in everything but screen display quality
