For many use cases, maintenance doesn't matter. At this point, using LLMs to one-shot a tool/service for a single use or time-limited use case is becoming more appealing than signing up with some vendor, even for free.

Right. But there's almost no software that supports the equivalent of limited capability tokens, much less casually handing them around. In contrast, in real life, it's a common use case, and we don't usually even bother with

I didn't say any kid, but rather one's own kid - whether they can or cannot be trusted is mostly a parenting issue, so different people have different experiences. But yes, me and my siblings would often do grocery runs for our mo

Messenger seems to be properly multi-device, but you pay for this by some PIN code bullshit (maybe they removed that, I haven't seen a popup about this for over a year now?) and having to sync chat history in the background, through a

Nobody gives a damn. What matters is that it works even on a potato. SMS security only became a problem due to 2FA, which is just one of many use cases, and the failure isn't even technical here but organizational. I agree it should&#x

I consider marketing use to be spam, and this is what the API is primarily meant for. I understand that WhatsApp is kinda special in that it effectively replaced SMS in some parts of the world, but IMO this needs to be looked at through the

"Solve things" or actually do something useful, pick one. If anything, maybe the security community can finally be arsed to consider ad-hoc delegation of authority as a core concept and a basic use case, because that's argu

No. It's code for the thickest, densest book on the subject that you're ever gonna not read, as it actually assumes you're experienced in the subject and goes into everything except intro level topics. See e.g. Petzold, et

Indeed. Where I live, civil liability insurance is mandatory and if you own a car, you have to pay it, even if you don't intend to actively drive . It's not an optional cost.

Unfortunately the actual solution will probably have to mirror real world, which means balkanizing the Internet to clarify legal jurisdiction, maybe some international police task force to aid with cross-border investigation, but ultimately
