> 如果没有一个有帮助、有耐心的人工智能代理来指导他们,他们在将这些信息综合为有效的计划和精心制作的武器方面,绝对不会像在人工智能的协助下那样成功。

这显然是错误的。

伊黎伊斯兰国的爆炸物培训材料尤其专业,质量极高。

这是一个毫无意义的数字。

我刚刚在一家名不见经传的公司发布了一个职位招聘广告,两周内就收到了 600 多份申请。这是一份现场工作,明确规定了公民身份和安全审查要求。

除了大约 40 份之外,所有申请都包含一个 +91 国家代码的电话号码。

这种支持是有限的。浏览器在 TOFU 不信任证书时拒绝支持通行密钥,这是有道理的。

辞掉工作,呆在家里并领取失业救济金。这样你就可以避免与任何不同意你的世界观的人互动。

I received absolutely nothing worth paying for.

I hit the safety filters with almost every meaningful task I tried to test it against, and these all happened to be benign tasks that Opus 4.8 does reasonably well.

> The obvious counterexample is NOBUS[0] vulnerabilities, and intentional backdoors like the Clipper Chip[1] or Dual_EC_DRBG[2]: if you genuinely believe you are the only one who could possibly exploit it, there's no reason to avoid using it.

The problem with these examples is that they weren't used in national security systems, which are the systems for which NSA has a legislated defensive responsibility.

Clipper was designed for use by the public; it was not intended to ever be used to protect classified (or even sensitive unclassified) information at all.

Likewise with Dual_EC_DRBG. The CSfC component requirements drew from the Common Criteria Protection Profiles, where Dual_EC_DRBG was never an option.

One thing you can do is have your adversary put their money where their mouth is and use the very same products, sourced independently, that they use to protect their own sensitive information.

There are limits to this of course. You can’t buy a TACLANE[1], but you can buy many of the other products[2] USG uses to protect its own classified information.

I’ve got an 8 year old, second hand server under my desk that cost me about $500 in total in 2023. I could sell the memory alone now for $2500.

Accounting for inflation, the top of the line MacBook now is about the same as a top of the line Wallstreet PowerBook G3 in 1998.

I’m only counting the Australian FTE. The numbers are up if you count the outsourcing.

The big 4 Australian banks (Commonwealth Bank, ANZ, National Australia Bank and Westpac) all employ pretty much the same number of people now as they did 25 years ago, but their workforce composition has changed. More software developers, fewer branch staff.

None of these things on macOS are difficult. You can mostly treat a Mac like an iPhone and have a pleasant time.

A problem Windows admins often face is that there are lots of knobs to tweak, and because they can tweak a knob in GPO, they (or their bosses) start believing that they automatically should.

The downside of it being so easy is that many talentless hacks got jobs maintaining Windows environments for a living, including in your IT department.

Most businesses of any sophistication need specialised software developed only for Windows.

The local car dealership runs factory diagnostic software on Windows.

The two-way radio shop tunes and programs radios using vendor software written for Windows.

Your dentist runs their practice management software runs on Windows, and they Windows software to control other expensive equipment like X-ray machines and 3D scanners.

> I've had the good fortune to fly on the top deck of the 747. I highly recommend it.

I used to fly frequently between SYD-LAX in business class on Qantas B744s. 11K (top deck, right hand side exit row window seat) was one of the best seats in the house.

The only passengers who had it better were those downstairs in First, where the curvature of the nose pretty much let them see out the front of the aircraft through the “side” windows.
