Edward Snowden: Tech Giants and U.S. Government Are Turning Our Identities Into Profit and Power
In this September 2019 interview on MSNBC's 'The 11th Hour', American whistleblower Edward Snowden revealed that contrary to the western popular imagination, it is in fact, US corporate and government interests that are working to institute a so-called "social credit system" where access to basic societal privileges is granted by proprietary algorithms.
7 years later, in a world where access and reach on social media is now openly subject to US state-backed algorithmic suppression, do you agree with Snowden's claims?

Isr**li -Nigeria Innovation Partnership Raises Fresh Concerns
Nigeria has become the latest African country to get involved in a dubious "partnership" with a certain West Asian territory that cannot be named.
@Big_Mck examines why this sort of "partnership" can only be a bad idea for African countries seeking sovereignty and development, and what they should be doing instead of getting into one-sided entanglements that never favour them.
In response to recent suggestions mentioning it:
> If you need plausible deniability, you must not use VeraCrypt to encrypt any part of (or create encrypted containers on) a device (or file system) that utilizes a wear-leveling mechanism.

It's been said a lot, but the kimi blogpost is truly incredible. Just engineering, nothing else.
It's almost as if you don't have to be part of a sci-fi inspired rapture-anxiety cult to train good models.
Kimi K3 can now be run locally! ✨
The 1-bit model retains ~78.9% accuracy after we shrunk it from 1.56TB to 594GB (-62% size).
Run on a Mac Studio + 128GB RAM device.
Kimi K3 is the strongest open model to date.

Of course, this is the same old story, trying to pull up the ladder on the premise that you're far enough that you'll get to the decapitation strike capability anyway, so I'm bearish on getting China to sign. They'll try to get their own UN framework.

The first autonomous agent cyberattack is an unprecedented event that deserves unprecedented transparency. Today we’re sharing everything we can: a full technical timeline, an interactive replay, and how we used an open model to defend ourselves, so defenders everywhere can learn from it and prepare for what’s next.

publishing the research is net public good, denying the general public the right to exercise sovereign agency in matters like this is just fkn evil.
them spreading that "super ai need control" while fullporting on "pmf", research e.t.c is just classic double-standards display.
imagine running your own AI in your own box and adversarially stress testing the cryptographic guarantees of your protocol. these are the possibilities that anthropic wants to gate-keep under the guise making the world "safer".
‼️ BREAKING — Claude AI found a working HAWK-256 key-recovery attack.
HAWK is a NIST post-quantum cryptography candidate. It also made an impractical 7-round AES-128 attack up to 800x faster.
