What year is this?!
I think I am taking crazy pills!
FWIW: The first ever vulnerability I reported to a vendor was a DNS cache poisoning attack against BIND due its use of predictable query IDs.
I reported it.... in 1996!

The replies to your posts since the AWS outage have been an amazing source of 'Signal has a flaw and therefore we should ignore the dozens of fundamental design flaws in {other thing} and use it instead' posts.

The mindset of 'X is not perfect, therefore we should use Y, which is strictly worse in almost every way but lacks this one problem of X' never ceases to amaze me.

This follows the Silicon Valley model popularised by Facebook 20 years ago of opting people into consent for things op because they were in other people’s address books and those people consented to sharing personal information. It’s a shame it took regulators so long to stamp on that, it should have been the result of massive fines, possibly followed by fire.

Wait… so users of OpenAI’s Atlas browser can opt-in the web pages they browse - *which belong to other people* - to AI training?

Cool cool

The new, slightly less patient, Daniel strikes.

every AI generated pixel, every AI generated token I see makes me want to use the internet less. it makes me want to log off and spend the rest of my days reading books published before 2020. this must be how the paranoid creatives felt in the 2000s when cross-site tracking and the patriot act also pushed them offline. this must be how those creatives who refused to give up their own methods of distribution felt when things like facebook and twitter and youtube monopolized attention through the 2010s and turned the internet into a small collection of walled gardens. I don't know what kind of creative you'd call me, but I cannot abide by the internet being polluted by mushy, merely-probable junk data which is drowning out what had once been a place to find real testimony, real human effort and art whose maxim is to bridge the gap between us. sure there will always be oases, places where human creativity continues to thrive, but I'll forever miss when the entire land was covered in green.

I'M GONNA EAT THOSE LOUVRE JEWELS.

this story is crazy not because someone in the exploit business got a taste of their own medicine, that part should be expected. the crazy thing is that trenchant, widely considered to be one of the “good discerning western exploit shops” was leaking chrome exploits to who knows where.

Boom! Rafal Goryl of PixiePoint Security needed two attempts but was able to get his exploit of the Phillips Hue Bridge working. He heads off to the disclosure room to provide all the details. #Pwn2Own
