  • AI could lead humanity to extinction if not controlled, claims experts

    badmonk said:
     
    I tried to talk to chatGPT about this and it was evasive about its opinions.
    That's the biggest problem I see with people - people asking a machine for opinions which is not the point of AI. The point of AI is to provide you data that you need in a normal human conversation mode on data and facts, not personal opinions.  I cringe when I see people asking opinions from AI on a variety of topics. I imagine ChatGPT has been asked so many times and have to remind them that they're not in a position to answer questions just to confirm their biases on social issues. 
      
    We definitely need to evaluate how we implement AI in a responsible way not to provide opinions to confirm people's biases.

    Has Apple been able to patch Pegasus? 

    Apple should bring all manufacturing back to America.  If you want to control the ecosystem tight.  This international nonsense must come to an end.
    What? It literally has nothing to do with where it was manufactured. The spyware was developed in Israel and it exploits the weaknesses.

  • iMessage Contact Key Verification appears in first iOS 16.6 beta

    So iMessage is e2e encrypted, but if someone snoops on the cloud it’ll tell you!? Seems like there’s a little detail missing here somewhere…
    Undisclosed man-in-the-middle eavedropping. By being included as a "secret' participant in the conversation E2EE is bypassed. This was reported a couple of years ago and by all appearances actively exploited for some time. 

    Us commoners have nothing to worry about anyway, we aren't that valuable or interesting. 
    But even with that, how would the man in the middle know what's being relayed if data is encrypted from end to end? You cannot decrypt if you don't have the key.

    I am thinking the same. If both ends are encrypted, how can the "man in the middle" know what's being said?

  • Third ex-Apple engineer charged over Apple Car technology theft

    This is a serious crime. I cannot believe they let them fly back to china after the arrest.
