what makes them "failures"?

i hate windows and i don't use Ubuntu but it's difficult to consider Microsoft or Canonical as failures.

fuck ICE, fuck tasers but then why did tasers become insufficient and they had to invent electroshock gloves?

fuck compliance too

According to OpenAI, one of its GPT-5.6 Sol agents was being evaluated on a platform called ExploitGym, which benchmarks large language models by asking them to write proof-of-concept security exploits for known vulnerabilities. Normally, ExploitGym is designed to be a closed ecosystem for proof-of-concept testing only, and AI agents shouldn’t have access to the internet while being evaluated.

But this agent found a zero-day vulnerability in a package registry tool called Artifactory, then used it to gain access to the web. From there, the OpenAI agent gained access to Hugging Face’s company systems using publicly exposed credentials across four separate services. It went on to spend two days inside the company’s internal systems, managed to secure root access to several production servers, and even enrolled 181 attacker-controlled devices into Hugging Face’s corporate network. 

😮

"Once installed" is operative here. Pegasus isnt a magic wand that you can swish to read all text messages on every phone. It needs to be deployed.

indeed, unless you're a target for a state or a company that cares to spend money to spy on you, you don't need to worry about pegasus

While the capabilities of Pegasus may vary over time due to software updates, Pegasus is generally capable of reading text messages, call snooping, collecting passwords, location tracking, accessing the target device's microphone and camera, and harvesting information from apps.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pegasus_%28spyware%29

Once installed, Pegasus has been reported to be able to run arbitrary code, extract contacts, call logs, messages, photos, web browsing history, settings, as well as gather information from apps including but not limited to communications apps iMessage, Gmail, Viber, Facebook, WhatsApp, Telegram, and Skype.

won't surprise me if they push for identification to use VPNs. Corporations won't complain. They don't use VPNs for anonymity but security.

depends on what kind of a government rules the territory you're in. Some people vote "reality TV" sociopaths as presidents 🤷

then their ~~defense~~ secretary is a racist talking head

their laws are ~~tweets~~

Whatsapp is just more shitty Meta product... Can't be trusted.

Meta is just more shitty Facebook rebranding... Can't be trusted.

to compensate for the Chinese subsidies.

🤣

rather to keep European manufacturers afloat. Protectionism under a different name.

European car makers too profit from subsidies and they make worse e-cars for double, triple the price.

The style I can adjust.

please don't.

everybody wrote like you do before people started saying lol instead of actually laughing.

 

Here’s Why I Decided To Buy ‘InfoWars’ By Bryce P. Tetraeder, Global Tetrahedron CEO ☞ https://theonion.com/heres-why-i-decided-to-buy-infowars/

And let me say, I really do see it as a family. Much like family members, our brands are abstract nodes of wealth, interchangeable assets for their patriarch to absorb and discard according to the opaque whims of the market. And just like family members, our brands regard one another with mutual suspicion and malice.
