A lot of AI research in the US isn't fully embedded in published articles and universities. It's actually our biggest gap due to lack of federal funding.
most AI research in the US are private companies/startups and large companies like Amazon, Google, etc with DoD/NIST grants directly.
So they are selective with their published articles. Any research today will have lots of Russian and Chinese and Indian names. Chinese / pinyin names doesn't necessarily mean China though you're not wrong to assume so due to sheer volume.
@ZackKorman I'm talking about ulterior motives. The increased influence, country advantage is a side benefit.
If he's able to offset world reliance on US tech, it puts him in a position above the West in the coming 20 years.
I'm also positive with those ssids you can map a location fairly accurately. Usually an IP address or a rough Geolocation is required.
It also depends on how frequently those ssids are tracked via passing vehicles with mobiles on.
A canary token is often enough to get the necessary data to get close.
So I'm confused by the criticism. It's not a straightforward Google search nor silver bull though.
I'm intentionally not following or responding to people that are egregiously foul, profane, etc.
except @uwu_underground , please keep trolling and dropping bangers.
I immediately filter out all of that. The minute something is "solved" with just 4 payments of $5.99 I'm out.
anything with AI is just the same thing we've all been screaming about. Shadow IT (now AI), unmanaged endpoints (now AI agents), SSO/MFA and Auth, code review, SBOMs+patch management.
I really feel like companies need to have an ops person review the individual AI uses. I've had a few people try and recreate tools with AI that already exist and we're already paying for.
I'd rather them come back and say the available tools suck, lets get new ones than build something that's unsupported with an AI agent auto committing changes in the back ground pulling in random NPM modules when simple python, go, or powershell scripts can do the trick.
I'm probably small brained here, but what happened? I see some rudeness for sure but didn't see (nor did I have the energy to dig through Ayla's posts) to identify something exceptionally egregious.
@ZackKorman is very kind and helpful, so I find the interaction weird. I didn't see anything beyond what you might see as an interaction on an NYC subway though.
This happened a while ago and it's due to product research. They're tracking where they get the most complaints. People are used to seeing EXIF location data and like it.
Privacy, while important, isn't a product component the average person resonates with.
We have to change that, but those who care can disable it by design or not post your pictures online, etc.
This is a sensationalist post. The setting to disable it is still there and you can still scrub exif. Unless I'm missing something, there isn't a known digital code embedded in photos like printers with microdots.
Not really a need to when the device info and account are included. A simple warrant will provide all the other dots and a pretty accurate location from the mobile even if GPS is disabled.
I mean, I can put on my tinfoil hat and say sure it's possible but we would have found out about it if it's anything older than a few months.
sure, but we're talking about isn't what's right and wrong but what is reality.
We can all scream about the constitution, which doesn't apply to Swiss companies or the Swiss government all we want.
In the end, the people with the guns and power will do what they do. We need to work within that system. Not saying it's right.
The other commenter, I agree that Proton's marketing doesn't really account for this but if we look at this practically, they're a company. I stopped using them when they broadened up and brought in Private Equity. I don't trust Proton anymore for anything sensitive.
Frankly, After #CryptoAG and the variously MLAT and FBI specific agreement with the Swiss Government, which they were forced into by the EU/US for trade makes me question the trust of those companies that operate there and claim privacy.
