hot take but “AI” is kind of making me miss the “blockchain” days

"I don't think that they're going to have [a Wayland-only release] done by Q3 or Q4 but that's a very ambitious goal."

We're only half way through Q2 and he's already dog-fooding Wayland. :blobthinkingeyes:

I think it might actually happen... :ablobcatrave:

@Linux_in_a_Bit If it happens I'll be really impressed but it's always scary to promise such a big code project

"Microsoft should recall Windows Recall" — Security researcher discovers Microsoft's new AI tool is woefully insecure

I am shocked.....not.

I can't work out if this is a bug or a weird KDE feature:

If you open the shutdown dialog and then press the super key it stops the count down timer. It's probably a feature that I don't understand why it exists but I'd like some insight

BrodieOnLinux,
@BrodieOnLinux@linuxrocks.online avatar

@cassidy I guess that could make sense

BrodieOnLinux,
@BrodieOnLinux@linuxrocks.online avatar

Ok it's actually pressing any key, so it's probably a feature, but I'm still not completely sure on why

BrodieOnLinux,
@BrodieOnLinux@linuxrocks.online avatar

@Conan_Kudo I only noticed it recently, normally I just press shutdown straight away

@slyecho Does the power button open that interface on a laptop?

It just clicked in my brain. What I haven't been able to articulate about why I'm so anxious about Recall. I'm sure others have already gotten to where I am.

It's worse than "a system that tracks everything you do" and stores that info in a basic database that could be easily compromised.
It's worse than a nanny surveillance tool for companies to spy on their employees.

It's inescapable.

It doesn't matter if I make a dozen "how to disable recall" tutorials. The second YOUR data shows up on someone ELSE'S screen, it's in THEIR recall database.

It won't matter if you're a master expert specialist. You can't account for EVERY other computer you've ever interacted with. If a family member looks up an old email with your personal data in it, your data is now at risk.

If THEIR system is compromised YOUR data is at risk.

I just went from "vague feeling of unease" to "actively writing templates to canvas elected officials, regulators, and attorneys general."

@FLOSS_Weekly Yeah sure I'm game, either DM me or shoot me an email for the rest of the details

The developers of GPT-4 made AI safety tests before release and wanted to, for example, figure out whether the AI could duplicate and spread itself to other servers.

They experimented whether artificial intelligence could buy cloud storage and even pass a CAPTCHA it was never designed to solve.

The AI automatically used an API to hire a human contractor to ask them to solve a CAPTCHA for it. The human joked “are you sure you're not a robot :D?” and GPT-4 thought to itself that it should lie, not reveal that it is a machine, and make up some reason about a vision impairment in order to not sound suspicious.

I spent an hour trying to work out why VSCodium wasn't giving me code completion in Rust, turns out I'm a moron and had rust installed instead of rustup the development toolchain
