Passkeys basically MITM the 2FA process so that they can track and deplatform you with a single click across all your accounts. The biometric verification also allows to confirm that a certain person is holding the device, and they can easi

Diversity is resilience; no need to standardize on curves or "post-quantum" IBM bullshit if other approaches still work perfectly fine. And if the pros are using typewriters in 2026 it's not a signal for me to put even more e

My tinfoil hat take is that there's significant interest to keep everything digital, always-online and connected to the major providers, so it can easily be snooped by five eyes using their omnipresent backdoors. Passkey biometrics als

You have the causation wrong: The secret is growing up as a trust fund nepo kid with offshore money from colonialist activities of your grandparents. The white-washing of stolen wealth via "self-made" hollywood and startup careers

It's more about the fact that five eyes intelligence services prefer to officially spy on each other's countries so they don't have to answer to their respective bureaucrats. They prefer plausible deniability. Something like

Beautiful analysis. It really looks like the country distribution [1] follows the geographical split between five eyes intelligence services, and maybe a small slice for France after they imprisoned the Telegram CEO [2] in order to take ove

Valid point, I've been brainwashed in school to use the American term even though I live tens of thousands of kilometers away from the US.

It's quite unlikely football is one of the few sports without a doping problem and with only very few cases where the referee was paid off. Since ancient times in Rome where they said "bread and games" are needed to keep the

The study is clearly about correlation and not causation, but still the term "important predictor" keeps triggering me. People can't sleep due to stress or noise or disease (e.g. coughing), and while "predictor" see

Now I understand the argument. I didn't think about the anthropomorphism aspect at all, my brain was mainly focused on "social engineering" being an old and established class of security risks, and how neatly this attack maps

There is a big difference: Humans can also be trained to not fall for social engineering, and it reduces the number of successful social engineering attacks. Anthropic as leader of AI is UNABLE to train their software even though they try,

The AI prompt engineering community always reminded me of dodgy carder/scammer forums back in the day where they talked about how to talk to the credit card company customer service in order to get their scam transaction through. One t

Still, this is a vuln in what I imagine is their most frequently used path: Attacker provides link to website, their software crawls the website, and during the crawl there should not happen security issues as fundamental as this. It's

To me the exploit chain sounded like a social engineering script done via telephone. Triggers like "Please spell your name and employer letter by letter" and "Due to security reasons I need to validate your hometown" fit

Creative use of social engineering, well done. > "no bounty was awarded" Ridiculous. Anthropic engineers are not just stupid to allow such a vuln in the first place, but they also try to hide such vulns from their bosses becaus

I know. I'm not saying it is good, it is just the best system that humanity has found so far. Because back in the day any representative of the monarch could rob you blind at will. Realistically civil forfeiture only affects small fish

I agree. Society needs to be intolerant against intolerance. But there is no better way to overcome old money than inflation. Any violence is basically a struggle between different factions of old money, and it's overall impact is net

The way you're using the word "liberal" is technically wrong and your comment was basically a cheap fox news talking point aimed at below-average TV viewers. It's totally fine if those talking points resonate with you, b

It's easy to say these anti-capitalistic platitudes, but do you really want to live in a society where the concept of private ownership is not supported by the state? Society is not starting at zero right now, it has developed for 10.0

I agree with your point but it's incredibly naive to identify "the MBAs" as scapegoat for this problem. We're living in times where an evangelical POTUS dislikes the pope, oligarchs talk about the "antichrist",

Your statement is false. Ronaldo's 3-game-ban was reduced to the 1-game-ban minimum. In the current case it is about reducing the 1-game-ban minimum to an unprecedented zero game ban.

That's a step into the right direction. I can only imagine how much pain has been inflicted with metadata.
