> For racists to find other racists and amplify their unsavoury views. For paedophiles for groom children with anonymity. Sounds like yet another call for government overreach to amplify mass censorship even more (which is also used agai

I've considered Garmin for Garmin pay, but seems like it supports much less banks, and I didn't want to gamble with checking for myself if it'd work with virtual crypto cards. Not all of them support offline NFC payments in t

As a GrapheneOS user, I've had to buy pixel watch 2 in order to be able to pay via Google Pay abroad (since I unfortunately happen to reside in an internationally sanctioned country, local cards work only inside the country, some crypt

At this point, GrapheneOS must introduce a feature to delete only specific data (apps & files) when the decoy password is entered, and then unlock the phone.

If Codeberg becomes a place where you cannot just host any of your projects without caring about its politics like you can host on GitHub, GitHub monopoly will continue. This is very unfortunate, and despite I prefer Forgejo web UI to GitHu

This guy vibecodes his whole stack, from X server, WM, terminal emulator, to shell and text editor. It would've been weird not to have an AI-generated image in an article =)

This person's idea is that if LLMs can create personalized and efficient software on the fly, it's good enough to use such software instead of more bloated, existing software which has to accommodate for usecases outside of his. S

They can navigate that, if specifically targeted towards that, with proper adversarial reviews (including human reviews). The question is, if one takes their time and has enough competence to do that.

If a harness wants to upload the whole codebase in one batch, it should explicitly inform the user about it. Instead of exfiltrating the data without consent.

After this, I reconsider whether I want to use grok 4.5 just over an API at all.

Trying to prevent this will cause the same outcome as trying to prevent terrorists from using search engines: it'll only disproportionately harm regular users. Imagine if current AI misuse paranoia would've been applied to search

A lot of lost media used to be considered garbage before it has gotten completely lost. Culture is always worth preserving, at least for historic purposes.

This is a problem of trust towards a software which runs on the user's machine and secretly conducts malware-like stenographic data exfiltration.

Anthropic does their best with banning accounts. As the result, shady API reselling market emerges. OpenAI on the other hand doesn't really discriminate based on a country like that (but a VPN is required nevertheless).

Codex CLI is FOSS, unlike Claude Code, so Codex is less likely to do things like that, and it's one more reason to avoid Claude Code and Claude in general. Hopefully, many eyes will be looking into Codex for malicious things like that.

And which they disable in any country with significant internet censorship, where having a VPN actually matters.
