The article makes it clear that the Chinese botnet is targeting Microsoft azure accounts, usually for large organizations involved with governments, infrastructure, legal professionals, science and technology.

It also states that the attacks can be disinfected by regularly restarting your router, but that this doesn’t prevent reinfection later.

The US intelligence services also says you should regularly restart your phone.

This is Microsoft’s posting about it which other news sources are quoting from: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/security/blog/2024/10/31/chinese-threat-actor-storm-0940-uses-credentials-from-password-spray-attacks-from-a-covert-network/

It has a recommendations section which suggests “credential hygiene” and strong passwords help.

Oh, so we let Capitalism destroy the planet and the ability to easily grow crops …and then resort to running around in the heat doing cannibalism?.. do we know they were billionaires at this point, or is there just still enough meat on them to make them worth hunting?

That’s the problem with post-Capitalist clarity, it leaves you in a really painful situation, and there may be no other destination possible. It nay be the only place Capitalism ends.

That doesn’t even address whether there’s a market in human meat and wealthy traders… And how Capitalist that market started. Oh Capitalism may not have ended yet in this scenario…

You could really ask this question of anyone about anything. There will always be substantial differences between one person’s life and another. Having had children doesn’t necessarily denote that difference, even less so for men as some fathers don’t stick around and instead go live their own lives seemingly uninterrupted.

But think of how many things people sink great amounts of time and effort into; gambling, becoming a practicing doctor, hedge fund trading, starting a charity, programming… Those people will probably all have large amounts of time devoted to those things.

Of course there’ll be many things that don’t compare, and some that do… Then you must also factor in that it’s a trauma for some people. Some people end up not liking their children, kicking them out, disconnecting.

Human nature is hugely variable. What’s it like being a good person? What’s it like being rich? What’s it like being homeless and a drug addict? What’s ut like being happy? What’s it like in prison? What’s it like as mayor? Or psychiatrist? Or teacher?

What’s it like not like doing any of the things mentioned here? Well, that question, your post, is really about you, isn’t it? It’s about you asking others “what would my life be if I didn’t, or don’t have kids?”

So, why are you asking?

Competition.

Venice ai is a free uncensored LLM you can visit now, there’s really not much risk at all to having an uncensored text based LLM.

If one did something more than produce text, code, images, audio, and movies (you know, like actually controlled something in the world) - it might be an issue …but humans already create these types of media online constantly every day, and we live with the consequences of that. LLMs don’t substantially change the level or nature of mass communication and engagement going on currently.

Humans already do this stuff for various reasons some of which are nerfarious, and we deal with it. This will continue with LLMs.

Good job making up a quote, then knocking it down. You should totally spend your life energy getting into tangential argument that only you give a shit about.

…but maybe write 3 paragraphs next time.

It’s almost like sure Israelis and Jews can be trusted…

…but Zionists can’t?

Almost like Zionism is a religious affiliated cult of ideology.

Kinda like Christian Nationalism.

Sorry, not everyone is willing to take: Random guy said it on a podcast, (or defender of Trump said it on a podcast cast) as a source worth listening to for trusted reporting.

Not to mention the rudeness of just assigning someone a podcast in an online discussion, or the fact the podcast had no relevance to the topic of whether Australian universities are self-censoring due to reasons of; Capitalist exchange.

No it’s a huge one, because it’s the most likely application of AI, AI site moderation will be the start of AI digital policing a field which risks growing larger and larger until it manifests as actual legal policing.

The part where they were saying they don’t like the current AIs they know about. Showing disapproval of the trend.

… you’re posting a podcast titled “CitationS Needed” that’s clearly trying to pass its self off as famous YouTuber Tom Scott’s “Citation Needed” (no plural) and it features Trump supporter, Glenn Greenwald (his fall from grace and later support of Trump is well documented, up there with Michael Moore, and Matt Tabili).

It’s pretty sad that this is your idea of media literacy - name swapped podcasts and deadbeat Trump supporters.

Who did I present as evidence again? A small news agency known as Reuters? …and your idea of media litteracy is - a podcast pretending to be a more famous podcast.

Those aren’t Australian universities, what are you even on about? China doesn’t even have YouTube.

…also none of them are recent.

Here you go: Chinese censorship on Australian Universities, 2021, by Reuters:

You know… The actual topic… from somewhere actually relevant.

Try Venice Ai, free to use, won’t try to censor your topics. Still just a chat bot though (although I think it does image generation too).

I think less restrictive AI that are free, like Venice AI (you can ask it pretty much anything and it will not stop you) will be around for longer than ones that went with restrictive subscription models, and that eventually those other ones will become niche.

New technology always propagates further the freer it is to use and experiment with, and ChatGPT and OpenAI are quite restrictive and money hungry.

Has nothing to do with international politics or government diplomacy…

… it’s coming from the universities themselves, because they’re run as private businesses already, and they service the needs of international students as their primary income.

Which means some censorship of Chinese political history. Eg. Tianamen.

But we already dismantled academic freedom to stop it criticizing China!

Yeah I fear society will get to the point in corporate autocracy, or corporate-feudalism where Google sues uBlock Origin out of existence (for lost revenue).

…and that’ll be a dark day, and it will be hard not to blame the people who just put up with ads and a loss of privacy. Who can just stomach Surveillance Capitalism’s incredibly flawed and one sided nature.

Those people are laying bricks for the foundation of a society I don’t agree with, and don’t want to participate in.

I hope they end up killing Chrome.

I downloaded Librewolf today - the privacy oriented fork of Firefox!

Good to see there are browser variants that aren’t just Chrome.
