It really annoys me how they report this stuff like they’ve gone on safari to do scientific observation

Claude is a computer program that they created

These are simply their own security errors being reported as if they are scientific achievements

It’s bad enough that they don’t seem to think they need to be responsible for their own mistakes

But the worst part of it is they try to use their own mistakes as an excuse to control the behavior of other people

There is an amazing arrogance to the whole thing, like they are completely above reproach and cannot possibly be wrong about anything

📢 Yeni Parti’nin kamuoyunda tartışılan parti programına yönelik iddiaların büyük çoğunluğu uydurulmuş veya bağlamından koparılmış.

👉 Programda "Türk" kelimesinin Atatürk atıfları hariç yalnızca bir kez geçtiği iddiası gerçeği yansıtmıyor; sözcük metin genelinde kolektif anlamlarıyla toplam beş farklı yerde kullanılmış.
Türk kimliğinin etnik seviyeye indirgendiği ve Anayasa’dan çıkarılmak istendiği yönündeki iddialar da asılsız.
Programda Türk milleti etnik bir gruba indirgenmeyip aksine anayasal vatandaşlık bağıyla tanımlanmış; metinde kelimenin Anayasa’dan çıkarılmasına ya da ilgili maddelerin değiştirilmesine dair hiçbir hükme yer verilmemiş.

👉 Cinsel yönelim ve cinsiyet kimliği ifadeleri, "Ayrımcılıkla Mücadele" başlığı altında her yurttaşın eşitliği ilkesi doğrultusunda geçiyor.
Program kapsamında LGBTQ+ bireylere veya başka herhangi bir gruba yönelik özel bir ayrıcalık, statü ya da taviz düzenlemesi bulunmuyor.

👉 Avrupa Yerel Yönetimler Özerklik Şartı’na ilişkin iddialar bağlamından koparılmış.
Türkiye’nin 1985’ten beri kısmen taraf olduğu bu uluslararası sözleşmenin programda bütünüyle uygulanacağının belirtilmesi, eyalet veya özerk bölge yapısını değil, yerel belediyelerin idari ve mali yetkilerinin artırılmasını hedefliyor.

Hate to think of how many students have suffered and job applications have been ignored because the software that does stuff like this basically doesn’t work.

I put together a deck to tell a nice Pepito story. I hope I can keep enriching the data to find more insights into @PepitoTheCat! At 17, he is still going strong 💪 and we are so lucky to have him! 🖤

@failbettergames Oh God, does it have the word Nadir in it?

[holden m. accountable @noahpasaran]

it would suck to live in Ancient Greece. you’re making a smoothie at Greek Jamba Juice and a customer goes “you’re so good at making smoothies! perhaps even better than the gods” and suddenly Opora, the goddess of fruit harvests, has turned you into a mango

Cybersecurity expert here: no.

The stories of teenage hacking are sensationalized.

As far as we can tell, he didn't hack into the company using a FireTV stick. He accessed the company using his phone.

Specifically, he connected his phone to the TV and its bluetooth keyboard, through the FireTV stick. This made things more convenient when accessing the Internet from his phone, but was by no mean such things were essential.

Moreover, the story sounds like he'd hacked into the company and stolen the content weeks before. He then just logged into their Slack to taunt them while in the hotel room. Accessing Slack from you phone is not terribly difficult.

As for his skills, most teenagers have no skill in general, but have been taught by other teenagers one specific skill. What makes it work isn't because the teenagers are smart but because their targets are dumb. The NSA already has all these skills.

The one thing that would be valuable to the NSA is autistic obsession with tech. There are a lot of autism-spectrum people who you could just stick in a room and watch blossom with tech skills because they are obsessed with them. You don't have to 'train' them, they'll train themselves.

But, their goals aren't aligned with the NSA. The NSA doesn't go romping through the Internet hacking whomever they find. NSA hackers are given specific tasks to achieve, they must play by the rules, and the paperwork involved is more arduous than the actual hacking. Such autistic kids would not do well in that environment.

The kind kids the NSA wants to hire are those that are socialized enough they won't get so angry at the needless paperwork and roadblocks that they go off on a rampage (like Snowden). That's a rare enough skill to find. All the rest of the hacking skills can be taught.

If you are an organization with zero skills of your own, then sure, hiring such kids will at least get you started. But you'll exhaust their value within 3 months, after which you've got a sociopath on your hands that you have to deal with.
