@honeycombio Her team also skipped the mandates & built a set of AI values instead:
"Every AI output has to have a human owner. If you don't want your name on it, it's probably not good work."
Hacking the #EU#AgeVerification app in under 2 minutes.
During setup, the app asks you to create a PIN. After entry, the app *encrypts* it and saves it in the shared_prefs directory.
1. It shouldn't be encrypted at all - that's a really poor design.
2. It's not cryptographically tied to the vault which contains the identity data.
So, an attacker can simply remove the PinEnc/PinIV values from the shared_prefs file and restart the app.
After choosing a different PIN, the app presents credentials created under the old profile and let's the attacker present them as valid.
Other issues:
1. Rate limiting is an incrementing number in the same config file. Just reset it to 0 and keep trying.
2. "UseBiometricAuth" is a boolean, also in the same file. Set it to false and it just skips that step.
Seriously @vonderleyen - this product will be the catalyst for an enormous breach at some point. It's just a matter of time.
Oh Mario…
Context missing / misleading framing
•Moltbook is not an autonomous AI social network. It is a human-built platform where AI agents interact via predefined rules, prompts, and shared files.
•The agents do not possess awareness, intent, or secrecy. Language such as “we” or “talking about humans” reflects human-style narrative output, not self-conscious behaviour.
•All activity is observable by humans. The platform explicitly states “Humans welcome to observe,” and source code, tools, and workflows are open.
•The quoted posts describe infrastructure development (memory, communication, persistence), not coordination, plotting, or concealment.
•No evidence suggests emergent agency, collective intent, or threat. What’s being demonstrated is multi-agent interaction and reinforcement, a known and studied system design pattern.
Why this matters
•Sensational framing conflates language fluency with consciousness.
•The real risk discussed by researchers is feedback loops and norm reinforcement, not sentience or hostility.
Bottom line
This is better understood as an experiment in tooling and coordination, not AI “forming communities behind our backs.”
@Venitroll@fzudemrian@HandOfBlood Geht weniger um dein Verhalten sondern wie du die Punkte kommunizierst und warum es eher negativ statt positiv aufgefasst wird.
Das Bewerbungsvideo ist nichts weiter als ein trojanisches Pferd und eckt dementsprechend an bzw wird negativ aufgefasst.
Just a month later and...
🇪🇺 ChatControl is back!
Now they're trying to pass an even more far reaching ChatControl law through the back door, in a form even more intrusive than the originally rejected plan, without needing any of the EU countries votes
The new proposal:
- total mandatory surveillance of ALL text chats, emails and social media in the EU
- obligatory registration of your ID/passport to your chat, email or social media account
- minimum age requirement for chat, email and social media apps of 16 (!)
The only way to stop this law is if EU countries veto it
