Haha, nice. TIL.

So all we need is ‘controlled prompting’ to handle prompt injections :-)

Exactly!

Attempting to handle prompt injections by prompting the model (not to leak sensitive data), is like attempting to stop a fire by burning the area around it

And then the secretary shared the conversation with 260 ‘partners’ and added everything you said to an LLM training corpus…

So, NO, this is not “what secretaries were”

Agreed. And even etymology agrees:

Plagiarize comes from plagiarius, latin for ‘kidnapper’.

You cannot kidnap yourself

Age Verification is not about “saving kids from spying/social media”.

Same as Regulatory Encryption Backdoors are not about “protecting kids from child predators”

This is framing. Abusing kids is bad. But that is not what this about. Let’s keep the discussion on topic: the goal is 1984-level oversight… not just of the kids

[Edit: I guess HN agrees: meanwhile the title changed from “saving kids from spying” to “is actually mass-surveillance” - good]

Which shares your personal data with over 200 “partners”… thanks, but no

So then you need to know distance / roundtrip-length within centimeter precision as well (below 29.98 cm for sub-nanosecond precision… to be precise).

Since cm precision is often not possible, is roundtrip-length an estimated average from prior roundtrips?

That… is true - thanks for editing your comment to clarify

The initial thread read like “.com domains are exclusive to US” which they of course aren’t

“Security through obscurity” has the connotation that it is the obscurity that achieves the security - which is bad.

”Security including obscurity“ is fine.

Such a great personal project!

These kind of things is what the ‘www’ was created for - good vibes!

Why riddle it with ads?

I know, always hard to tell on HN. Added the relevant declarative tag

> Are you sure it's a DDoS and not just a DoS?

I think these days it’s ‘DAIS’, as in your site just DAIS - from Distributed/Damned AI Scraping

It’s only bad if you’re a closed, for-profit entity
