I'm imagining a scandal in a few years where an influencer fakes a bf/gf who was generated by this lmao low key could happen (assuming this thing manages consistency of one face)

yes but currently as it stands the bad greatly outweighs the good

scammers and people who live their (fake) life on social media are the exact people who need something like this. Unfortunately for us all that is the majority.

We previously reported on how Andrew Frame, the founder of Citizen, used the app to put a $30,000 bounty on an alleged arsonist's head during the 2021 Palisades, Los Angeles fires. It was the wrong person and they were innocent. At one point during that event, Citizen’s head of community Prince Mapp said “We have mobilized a city to bring one person to justice.”

what the fuck

ah okay so there there are sub fields you can specialize in but not one thing you can learn that with apply in everywhere. I guess that's why its been a bit hard to find cohesive material to look at. Everyhwere I tried to look was trying to teach me different things.

another echo chamber is not a good idea that's the reason the US in this current state

a white paper about the topic for the survey platform Verasight, data journalist G. Elliott Morris found, when comparing 1,500 "synthetic" survey respondents and 1,500 real people, that large language models (LLMs) were overall very bad at reflecting the views of actual human respondents

Yeah no shit. Why even do this isn't the point of a survey to get the opinions of an actual person and how they're being affected?? Why would a language model stringing word together be comparable.

Not to be paranoid but I have a strange feeling that he's not leaving after his term is over. This national guard thing might go wrong with people fighting against it then someone will get shot/die and it will be used as a way to gain even more control (like what happened in South Korea minus the better outcome). Or he is going to start a war as a way to stay in power.

I'm moving away from using products by big tech and I recently started using EnteAuth for 2FA. Today I got an email from them saying that they received money as part of GitHub's secure open source fund. Maybe I'm just being paranoid but I do not like this at all. Microsoft is not altruistic I don't care what anyone says. There has to be an ulterior motive for this. With even the recent news that github won't be so independent anymore and they're getting folded into the Microsoft umbrella this has me worried. But let's be real github was never independent just look at copilot being forced down everyone's throat. That's why I personally stopped using it.

According to the fund

Throughout this program, each project receives $10,000 USD via GitHub Sponsors (which breaks down to $6,000 USD during the sprint and $2,000 USD at 6- and 12-month security check-ins). Projects are also invited to a new security focused community, and office hours with the GitHub Security Lab, that they can take advantage of during the full 12 months. They also receive security resources to immediately implement in their project and Azure credits for cloud infrastructure.

Those sponsors include

Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, American Express, Chainguard, Datadog, Herodevs, Kraken, Mayfield, Microsoft, Shopify, Stripe, Superbloom, Vercel, Zerodha, 1Password

Projects that are part of this even include nodejs, nvm, log4j, JUnit, and Matplotlib. Taking cybersecurity seriously is great but this just seems like a way to sucker them into their ecosystem to get them dependent on their products. Like I said maybe I'm being paranoid but I wouldn't be surprise when Microsoft suddenly buys these projects and we lose what made them so great.
