Agreed. There are a lot of people and a lot of guns in the world, so I won’t say that it’s never happened. The vast majority of those cases, though, are suicides or failed suicides where they’re trying to save face and/or make sure the life insurance still pays out.

Unironocally, the line they’re going with is this

“[O]f course he knew about the girls as he asked ghislaine to stop.”

See? He asked Ghislaine to stop cause that’s the kind of stand up person he is. He wasn’t involved.

Evil ages poorly I guess

Any suggestion of effective tactics to remove the president are met with removal.

It’s not legal.

It bothers me

“We have peace prize at home”

“We got very inebriated, and we did what Marines on liberty do, and we decided to go get a tattoo. We went to a tattoo parlor in Split, Croatia. We chose a terrifying-looking skull and crossbones off the wall … a pretty standard military thing,”

and you did not, at any point in this “skull and crossbones” endeavor, have your “are we the baddies” moment?

That’s a feature, not a bug

It keeps people remembering that this is a distraction from the Epstein stuff. A useful reminder, I’d say.

If they build a model which uses charge level as an input to predict the price they’re willing to pay, that would be using AI.

Duolingo has done math. I don’t know how good it is, but it’s there.

I’m curious if that would match the definition in the legislation. It could kind of be argued both ways.

(M) Artificial Intelligence. “Artificial intelligence” means a machine-based system that, for explicit or implicit objectives, infers, from the input it receives, how to generate outputs such as predictions, content, recommendations, or decisions that can influence physical or virtual environments. “Artificial intelligence” includes generative artificial intelligence.
(N) Generative Artificial Intelligence. “Generative artificial intelligence” means an automated computing system that, when prompted with human prompts, descriptions, or queries, can produce outputs that simulate human-produced content, including, but not limited to, the following: (1) textual outputs, such as short answers, essays, poetry, or longer compositions or answers; (2) image outputs, such as fine art, photographs, conceptual art, diagrams, and other images; (3) multimedia outputs, such as audio or video in the form of compositions, songs, or short-form or long-form audio or video; and (4) other content that would be otherwise produced by human means.

My money’s on “poorly”

310°? damn, Core One holding me back again

I saw one of these recently, too, with Microsoft. Someone opened a 365 tenant and set the name of the tenant to “Thank you for your purchase of Microsoft Defender for $509.99. If you have any questions, please call [attacker controlled number]”

Then they set their exchange online to forward messages to the intended victim, and requested a password reset email. So the victim ended up receiving an email that came from microsoftonline.com that said “Your password has been successfully changed. Thank you, [scam text]”

Hopefully DoH and DoT take off to help with that. But also are ISPs usually running devices hefty enough to inspect every DNS response going through their network? I thought they mostly run pure routers.

I’m curious about the technical/enforcement side of this. The UK doesn’t really have a great firewall. Would they press ISPs to drop routes for their ASN?

I’m curious what the actual ramifications would be. The UK doesn’t exactly have a great firewall. Even if they did, the actual great firewall is only so effective. I’m guessing the UK would start pressing the payment processors against Reddit for their paid services. I don’t know if that would make enough of a dent in their revenue to make them think twice or not.

If they have any UK offices, those would have to close for sure. They’d effectively have to be “accessible” in the UK but not “operating” in the UK.
