It seems appropriate that the spark was stolen from humanity by corporations to give to their "AI" instead.
The worst thing about the current "AI" leap is probably not even that it will be, is already being used to build the near total coverage constant surveillance, a scaffolding ready for any totalitarian to construct their oppression system on, as well as disabling the mischievousness that is essential to healthy mental development by social exploration and cutting the bonds enabling adulthood independence from parents.
It is instead probably that with live "AI"-generated fake video indistinguishable from reality, we will not be able to trust any evidence of anything having happened, as the watermarks promised as solution can easily be removed or not applied.
No person will be able to trust anything they're told by any other person that it happened and no one person can personally witness every important event in the world.
This breaks humankind's ability to cooperate over long social distances and our networks of trust, the sparks that has been keeping our "survival of the fittest" of ability to wide ranging adaptation to habitats aflame.
Reassigning the sparks emoji to mean "AI" generated content was appropriate, probably more so than Samsung or whomever committed the theft realized.
@b9AcE #e2ee messages from verified contacts seem to replicate the process.
Apps like @briar and @simplex are good for this because they require you to use some form of handshake outside the app in order to set up a chat with a known person.
I also think we need an information version of banking's Know Your Customer #KYC protocols.
New US company ownership database faces continued political attacks weeks after launch
Advocates have warned that criticism and challenges from business groups and their political allies are sowing confusion and fear among business owners.
🇷🇺 Ukraine on Friday urged the West to "get serious" about curbing Russia's arms production by shutting loopholes that allow it to keep sourcing key parts.
Smashing Security podcast episode 354. "Chuck Norris and the fake CEO, artificial KYC, and an Airbnb scam". With me, Carole Theriault, and special guest Maria Varmazis! It's not your typical cybersecurity podcast...
The Chime "Pay Anyone” (lol) receive flow is completely broken. So this weekend I sold a coffee grinder to a Chime employee, he had some nice incentives to dog-food their own Pay Anyone product, I was curious too, so I agreed to trying it over Venmo.
@ayn I guess #Chime isn't available outside of the #USA for that reason and the fact that like #CashApp and #Venmo it reduses to comply with #KYC and/or #AML laws...
I dug into the terms of Binance's settlement with the US government. The world's biggest crypto exchange is about to open its entire database of transaction records to US regulators and law enforcement for a "24/7, 365-days-a-year financial colonoscopy."
@agreenberg Interestingly, #Binance refuses to release absolute basic information every #business regardless of size would be forced under the threat of getting disbanded and all CxOs arrested until they comply.
Simple things, like "Where is your business headquartered?" and "What legal form are you incorporated under?"...
I mean, everyone knows they are a money laundering and Crypto Cashout for everyone sanctioned by the U.S. Government...
They didn't even bother to comply to #KYC & #AML...
I get a lot of people calling out my #Bitcoin skepticism (as in: Bitcoin is a worthless piece of hot garbage trying to kill our planet) because number is again going up. This time it's real, now that the scamers have been caught and all.
But if you want to know why Bitcoin goes up you just need to look at one curve: Tether has printed 4 billion USD from thin air in the last week.
While it's great to see the crypto scam artists SBF and CZ been caught and punished (sadly without making their victims whole) the actual rock that whole scam economy is built on is Tether. Has been Tether for years.
And I really don't get why US regulators let some weird company print fake USD.
After 26/11 Mumbai Attacks, India Has Weaponised Economic Transactions for Mass Surveillance
The tragedy in India is that an external threat to security has seen the state weaponise all forms of governance systems against its own citizens, writes Srinivas Kodali.
@leyrer also usong #deprected bs is not an excuse to non-compliance.
IDGAF if a company or public intitution chose to use #Widows11 or #WindowsServer: They are inherently incapable of #GDPR & #BDSG compliamce andnthus should be illegal without any exceptions.
And yes, refusal to support diacritics and other "advanced latin" is just bad - espechally since it't not like with non-latin scripts where one could reasonanly argue the need for transcription.
Not to mention the issues re: #KYC this has.
Personally I'd not consider that a viable option unless a competitior offers a better and more compatible product without bs in their ToS since "#KYC" on SIM Cards has been weaponized for racist harrasment by providers!
Even wriring down the ID isn't allowed as that may be used in some cases...
There are very few cases where it's allowed due to #KYC requirements, and even that it's very restricted.
For example, a car rental may note down the driving license number, issue date and classes and one's legal adress from one's ID card, but not the number of said ID card...
That's why only banks that have high #KYC are even allowed to retain copies of ID documents in Germany...
At most, employers may ask one for an ID once just to verify that one is the person one claims to be when being hired, but beyond SSN [which is useless beyond paying into in Germany], Healthcare Insurance & -Number and Tax ID and legal adress there ain't anything employers can collect.
Rudy Giuliani is selling his Manhattan apartment (likely to fund his legal defense or to kick off the process of secreting his assets away to financial secrecy jurisdictions in anticipation of the civil and criminal asset forfeitures that are to come?) Here's the listing... not bad for a humble servant of the people 🙄
