🎉 The critical amendment 34 (rejecting automated assessment of unknown photos and texts) PASSED by ONE vote, paving the way for the extension of Chat Control 1.0 to be overwhelmingly REJECTED!

My feeling is still there needs to be extreme pressure from major governments that all cloud providers they use disclose all cloud service vulns as CVEs as part of their contracts - eg DoD, NHS - or no signing for new services.

@GossiTheDog I’ve stopped counting the number of emails received from external orgs tagged “Internal: Confidential” 🤷

Even now I'm holding back on posting kind of general trivial questions because everybody knows I could just ask an LLM. I should override that instinct and instead just post it.

I hope my own model for learning is subsumed by leveraging the infinite patience of an LLM for another. But I worry there's just a certain kind of competency you don't get to from here. We'll see.

It's unfortunate how many random questions LLMs can answer, I was essentially raised on tech forum posts I'd never think to ask or how to refine them to an answer through inquiry.

As it turns out, Volkswagen has been collecting extensive geo data from all their electric cars and made them available online in an AWS bucket. Almost 10TB of geo traces from 15 MiO cars. Amazing detail and patterns. This is why I don't want a smart car 🤯 https://events.ccc.de/congress/2024/hub/en/event/wir-wissen-wo-dein-auto-steht-volksdaten-von-volkswagen/ #Volksdaten
[38c3] Wir wissen wo dein Auto steht - Volksdaten von Volkswagen

Welche Folgen hat es, wenn VW massenhaft Fahrzeug-, Bewegungs- und Diagnosedaten sammelt und den Schlüssel unter die Fußmatte legt? Was verraten Fahrzeugdaten über die Mobilität von Behörden, Ämtern, Ministerien, Lieferdiensten, Mietwagenfirmen...
