They got some nerve

I’ve been thinking about this topic this week as well for some reason, so this is timely for me. Thanks for posting.

Pretty much. I havent read past the abstract, in fairness.

actually is an opportunistic omnivore and more flexible in its diet than previously assumed.

Copy\paste this for any organism capable of digesting another in order to survive. The hunting behavior is fascinating to see in squirrels, though.

Lumo is based upon open-source language models

It seems they arent saying just yet.

Hard no. My LLM conversations are confidential because they happen locally offline. I dont need a corporation having access, thanks.

паляниця

Transliterated as palianytsia, Ukraine uses this word because it is difficult for native russian-speakers to pronounce.

And now they have a drone named after it, so that is a thing.

Have I got some bad news for you…

It’s worth noting that while the Security Explorations project focused on Kigen products, eUICC/eSIM chips from several other vendors may be vulnerable to similar attacks as the underlying issue is related to a series of vulnerabilities found in Oracle’s Java Card technology.

The Java Card flaws were disclosed by Security Explorations in 2019, but Oracle and SIM card manufacturers using the technology downplayed their potential impact at the time.

In order to conduct an attack, the attacker needs temporary physical access to the device with the targeted eSIM. The goal is to extract a key that allows the installation of a malicious Java Card application.

Air Force generative AI chatbot

NIPRGPT, developed as an experimental project of by the Air Force Research Laboratory, aims to give military personnel a generative AI Large Language Model (LLM) comparable to OpenAI’s ChatGPT, but free of the security, data protection and privacy concerns posed by consumer AI products.

I am not against AI in principal but this shit is absurd.

Or might as well say “Yes, I like money and want to sell to the DoD.” Source: may have used it in a slide deck once. Not actually sure, as the phrase wasnt as popular back then.

ew. Tell your government to stop mandating spyware.

Graphene does let you re-lock the bootloader. IIRC, whether an app works depends on whether they require SafetyNet full, or just basic. I have so far only found one app that refuses to work. However… it looks like MitID was recently updated and no longer works.

Starting on 2024-06-12, MitID have started using Google Play Integrity API during activation. This means that new installations will no longer work in GrapheneOS nor any other non-stock Android, as they are not certified by Google and will not pass the required checks. The app still works (for now) if you managed to get it activated before that date.

I agree it would be concerning if I allowed Gemini access to my phone. Fuck that. This shit is exactly why I am on GrapheneOS.
