While I am a constant naysayer to a lot of the current AI hype, this just feels sensationalist. Someone who blindly trusts "AI" like this would be the same person who trusts the internet, or TV, or a scam artist on the street.

As a "younger" programmer it always shocks me how things like git were only created in 2005. It feels so ubiquitous and the way it functions has the "feeling" of something created in the 80s or 90s to me.

Just as a heads-up to anyone sensitive to reading such things, some of the articles in the old SoFs use a lot of slurs and are pretty racist.

I would assume they're really just trying to "catch" people talking on cell phones, and people singing are causing "too many" false positives of the detection system?

We don't even understand how the brain functions completely, not even close. Until we have a complete understanding of how our own GI works down to the exact bio-mechanical level, we can't achieve AGI. That's the theoretical

Thanks for the answer, very interesting stuff. I guess my next question is how do you establish that it's actually the group with the "good" reputation, and not just one claiming or pretending to be them?

that's my question: if you were the ransomee, how do you establish that you're working with a "reliable" ransom group? Is there a BBB for ransom groups? If so, how do you establish that the ransom group is actually the g

I see adblockers as another casualty of the end of the ZIRP era. Big Tech was benevolent when the money was free, but now that they have to tighten the waistband all the nice open-sourced add-ons (like 3rd party readers, ad-blockers, etc.)
