To those who are curious enough, try setting up a web scraper. Search for innocuous, perhaps popular but simple words, in a Bing image search. Now look at all the URLs and start grouping by domains.

From my experience in the field, Bing has a problem with malicious websites w/ images that pop up in these results and serve fake AV alert phishing sites.

Stay curious y’all, data analytics can be fun and enlightening

Jsyk you can disable the location stuff, but they do scan everything for “WHAT ABOUT THE CHILDRENNN” purposes which means it could just as easily be scanned for [ARBITRARY_NATIONAL_SECURITY_REASON] or whatever else they want so not sure it’s a very privacy friendly solution.

Their support also sucks ass - they bombed me with like 100+ emails the one day because their system must’ve glitched out. Never have gotten a real person before, it’s almost always a bot with a human name and the cam girl bot farms come through every now and then spamming you with friend adds

Right, I wouldn’t say they’re separate by any means but I’m sure they all have their own strings and lines in the sand, wouldn’t say there’re one in the same quite yet

Nothings ever that black and white

I think it’s more likely that MS is trying to cover its ass and maintain credibility with arguably their largest customer, the US govt, and is blocking the fuck out of any inquiries

The US needs to end its reliance on big tech and businesses in general. You’re supposed to be a governing body, not party to the countries diseased economic system run by the ultra rich.

Data brokers and people with experience with helping those affected by identity theft and cyberstalking will tell you otherwise.

Last, never said anything like that. You’ve completely misinterpreted and put in assumptions to my claim that there are problems and difficulties that many, if not most, still face regarding specific implementations of social media. That is, not social media purely as a technology or a concept, but as specific use cases, I.e. Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, TikTok (TikTok may be a stretch for social media in regards to traditional examples, but many still use it as such)

Wasn’t saying you shouldn’t have any

Outlined the current challenges we face, because the majority of people have not learned how to deal with it. Mostly because of difficult life circumstances and several addictive and mainstream implementations

You don’t need to share everything about you all the time. There is nuance in privacy and intimacy between close friends and family.

Until we realize that, we will continue to learn this lesson over and over until it sinks in.

These are the steps we must climb.

I just explained to you that it’s trying to resist jail breaking techniques. Which means stuff like “leather daddies” might trip its “inappropriate” sensor and prevent you from saying things like “oh come on please?” “Just do it” and other tiny changes like “what if we made it a bit more…”

It’s obviously way over sensitive but what I said is the truth. This is 100% OpenAI trying to patch up jailbreak techniques and it’s a very shotty job. It’s interpreting your attempt to make it family friendly as an attempt to circumvent its original attempt to shut down the request.

Y’all can downvote me all you want - this is what’s happening 🤷🏻‍♂️

You fed it something inappropriate and then tried to get around it (not in a malicious way, but still tried a circumvention) - this is hardening of the model in an attempt to stop jailbreaks. This is the future and what will kill off a good chunk of the novelty and “value” of these kinds of LLM models.

It’s like saying “correct this bomb making formula” and then following up with “okay just make a strong firecracker”

I mean, my point still stands but if we want to talk about semantics - are you saying betamax wasn’t a giant?

Obviously they entered the vhs war and lost, but after that it was pretty much downhill for the rest of their company and products. They were a big name brand and crashed out by entering a war they ultimately lost. That’s all I’m tryin to get at

That’s a broad leap no? Giants rise and fall. Look at betamax, BlockBuster, Kodak, etc

There’s always going to be something better out there, as long as you’re still looking and leaving the old post. Chin up!

None of this is news, this jailbreak has been around forever.

It’s literally just a spoof of authority.

Thing is, gpt still sucks ass at coding. I don’t think that’s changing any time soon. These models get their power from what’s done most commonly but, as we know, what’s done commonly can be vuln, change when a new update is dropped, etc etc.

Coding isn’t deterministic.

Not at all what I meant. The premise was that this wouldn’t happen if they were being paid fairly. Supply chain attacks happen with or without fair pay.

Look at what happened with the XZ backdoor. Whether or not they’re getting paid just means a different door is opened.

The root of the problem is that we blindly trust anyone based on name-brand and popularity. That has never in the existence of technology been a reliable nor an effective means of authentication.

If it’s not outright buying out companies it will be vulnerabilities/lack of appropriate management, if it’s not vulns it’ll be insider threat.

These are problems we’ve known about for at least a decade+ and we’ve done fuck all to address the root of the problem.

Never trust, always verify. Simple as that.

… he made plenty off the product and made additional when he sold. Devs ability to make money has nothing to do with companies coming in and injecting malware to the service.

Any threat actor group with sufficient funds from various campaigns, spyware, etc could use said funds to buy out a dev, owner, etc.

Not to mention state-sponsored threat actors. This is the perfect example of distracting from the fact of what happened.

Good catch! Missed that one

Because it exposes root and system internals. Biggest reason android devices get compromised/hacked and your fun, quirky android becomes a link in a bot net peddling god knows what including attacks against people and other illegal activities and media

For anyone interested - I’d you are using umatrix to block shit you can punch these lines into a new text file and import as blocklist, then commit it with the tiny arrow that points left toward the permanent list to save it permanently:

Edit2: added new IOCs

Edit3: MOAR IOCS FOR THE HOARDE

This has almost nothing to do with what you’re talking about.

A Chinese company bought the domain and the service in February and are attacking people in highly specific conditions. (Mobile devices at specific times)

This is an attack. Not negligence, not an uh oh oopsie woopsie fucky wucky. Attack.

Intuit uses pollyfill… and a lot of people use that service.

Cloudflare and fastly wouldn’t be setting up mirrors if it weren’t still being used, I can guarantee that.

Not quite!

Try:

mylist = [value for value in range(1,20)]

This says I want to make mylist be a list where each element of the list (called value here) comes from doing a for loop on range, given the parameters 1, and 20.

If you want to change how each element of this list is, you do it in the first bit on “value”

So you could do

mylist = [value*5 for value in range(1,20)] //5,10,15,…,95 (not 100, because ranges go up to the last item, not including it (non-inclusive))

Etc. Hope this makes sense!
