I can confirm Creative Cloud has added to my /etc/hosts file.

Adobe secretly modifies your hosts file for the stupidest reason: https://www.osnews.com/story/144737/adobe-secretly-modifies-your-hosts-file-for-the-stupidest-reason/

woah, @anildash wrote a very nice thing about me, my friends, our company, and our book.

“What people face too often is being ground down by systems, institutions, and unjust leaders who insist on creating roles where people are forced to do dehumanizing, isolated, meaningless work, while not being given the agency to make smart and empowered decisions about how the work gets done”

“All you have to do is provide a worthy mission and get the fuck out of the way.”

@anildash hits the nail on the head, again.

so it cost anthropic $20k to find this openbsd crash bug which amounts to putting a negative integer in a tcp field where a negative integer was not expected by the c code which does some cavalier int cast bullshit, ie. a vuln which is totally fuzzable, and quite certainly would have been found by the fuzzers of the 2010s had anyone cared to burn that much compute on fuzzing openbsd.

The difference today is not that anybody suddenly cares about investing that much in openbsd (is the build server still a donated machine running in Theo's basement?), but that openbsd's reputation for security makes it really good marketing if you can find a bug, any bug, it doesn't matter; and that marketing value is what makes it worth spending $20k on fuzzing.

Note to anyone who buys art from an artist: DO NOT EVER RUN THE ART THROUGH AN AI-PROGRAM! It will change details and destroy the art AND feeds that art into the program to be stolen over and over again!

To do this is to allow the theft of the artist's work.

Sincerely: Artist whose map just got absolutely ruined by AI "filter" and is shared in instagram with all the million mistakes that makes my skills look absolute shit. Plus the theft thing.

I am so so sad.
