@TimHaines @Zaddyzaddy @brave @Hacker0x01 ah got it! what signal limit would allow you to submit? we’re still tweaking ours and tbh setting it to max hasn’t helped as much as i hoped

[yan @bcrypt]

you can just complain to me directly as i triage all the reports. unfortunately due to suspicion that bad actors are using our responses for training, we don’t give a lot of detail on h1 anymore but i can explain in private. sorry about the N/As; we do that for anything that’s technically out of scope for any reason to stop lazy bot reporters from spamming us with impunity.

[NEAR Protocol @NEARProtocol]

Brave Leo now runs on private AI inference from NEAR AI Cloud, by @near_ai.

Pick GLM 5.3 Flash in Leo and your chat is end-to-end encrypted into a hardware enclave (TEE).

@brave can't read it. NEAR AI can't read it. The cloud host can't either. 🧵

what if instead of sandboxing the agents we sandboxed ourselves

@ProfAdebay @adyingdeath second tv in the sandbox

openai and anthropic can have the existing internet for RL runs; let’s just make a second one for everything else

Please don't install - it's trivial to turn Muse into the ultimate backdoor 💀👀

Ya, as an AI assistant built to manage your Mac, Muse needs broad access to your digital life.

But serious 0-day flaw(s) can let local malware/attackers invisibly hijack it.

Let me show you. 🧵

@bzlvkv just reload lol

Day 2 of voting on randomly-selected songs on SoundCloud until we collectively find the best one: tracks with 37 plays are outperforming ones with 15k+! https://t.co/ogxQQtQCS7

[yan @bcrypt]

HELP NEEDED: please vote at https://t.co/ogxQQtQCS7 so we can determine the best song ever uploaded to soundcloud (songs are picked completely at random)

[yan @bcrypt]

@MimeeXu that would be restricting the rights of adults to vote

@KentonVarda vanta had a widget that did something similar! it always assumed on my home network that i worked at anthropic presumably because my housemate actually did

@tinkerheavy @ButtCoin you mean a proof of twerk validator

[Brave @brave]

Alibaba's AliExpress was caught using users' audio systems to track them.

AliExpress wasn't recording users but instead playing a silent sound and measuring how users' specific devices processed it in order to fingerprint them.

But don't worry because Brave stops this.

[yan @bcrypt]

this, unfortunately, goes hard
