This is important to realise and defend. Super intelligence is not a collection of human-level intellect smarter than you. Super intelligence is an intellect surpassing any human. That's a important distinction for AI alignment discuss

It would be good to know more about the detection mechanism, if it wasn't computer vision it may well have been audio monitoring - a kid is perhaps more likely to brag / talk about what they're doing, which gets flagged to a

Lovely. Reminds me of these shorts YouTube started offering up a while back. I believe this is the original creator - https://www.youtube.com/@indiacrawford/shorts

This just isn't true... you've heard of "no comment" right? And the ability for the police to invoke the requirement for you to provide your PIN is behind the tests of specific legislation. You're not automatically

This. It's all within a democratic and legal framework, from GDPR to organisational policies. The source is the police themselves informing the public of the trial. The actual camera setup is bright yellow in the middle of the concours

I wouldn't categorize it as a panic. Standards and security organizations are recommending moving to PQC based on projections of capability. CloudFlare and Google recently moved their timeline forward for PQC migration based on new dat

Fair challenge, you're right that there's nothing sophisticated about this type of activity, but if you look at Lazarus activity this is their ttp. I mentioned TraderTraitor, go look them up (that sounds terse, it's not meant

100%. I can't find it now, but someone last month posted a similar story on HN. The threat actor had stolen someone's GitHub account and altered their otherwise legitimate looking repo. They'll expend a lot of effort in order

Not to get into an internet argument, but the entire premise of what you say is false -- and I'm not just saying that to argue. 1. The intent was and is categorically not for the review of CCTV or any evidence to be specifically carrie

This wasn't ignored and your source corroborates the fact. It was front page news, there were two IPPC investigations, and an inquest. This is also an example from 2005. An odd choice to reference in a thread about Police use of AI.

Sounds like automation to me rather than 1984. 800 hours of video searched in 3 hours, hardly the destruction of democracy.

It'll be a legal thing. You're reporting on behalf of yourself / a legal entity, so another system or entity can't say for you. I get it, but it really is a waste of time.

I think Apple became much better at security in recent years. One example which I think is indicative of their approach to security - they bothered to add a hardware microphone disconnect when a macbook is closed. Source: https:/&#x2F

I read it as the author is / was going through the vulnerability disclosure process with Microsoft and they're annoyed for unclear reasons and decided to publicly disclose, rather than being an insider.

I don't think they "forgot" about processors. It was out of scope. Creating the pipeline to end up with a fully "sovereign" system end-to-end is a decades long process and hundreds of billions of euros. As others ha

Did that risk materialise? I suppose it would be only the same as credit cards. With a valid warrant authorities can gain access to information. But that's within a legal system designed by an elected parliament. I'm more concerne

Not to start an internet argument -- I don't think it is appropriate in this context. A/B testing the features of a web app is not unexpected or unethical. So invoking the memory of cambridge analytica (etc) is disproportionate. I

The framing of A/B testing as a "silent experimentation on users" and invoking Meta is a little much. I don't believe A/B testing is an inherent evil, you need to get the test design right, and that would be better

Top tier state-sponsored actors don't need backdoors, their skill, resources, and persistance mean they can penetrate almost any system. Ascrbing this to mandatory backdoors distracts from the fact we need to improve cyber resilence an
