> Amnesty International finds that standalone generative AI systems, based on unlawful web scraping, depend on mass invasions of privacy by design, and are fundamentally incompatible with IHRL

Unlawful by design: Exposing the human rights costs of generative AI - Amnesty International

This briefing examines how standalone generative AI systems, based on unlawful web scraping, are in conflict with international human rights law (IHRL) and standards through their design, development and deployment.

Apple has open-sourced corecrypto, the foundational cryptographic library in Apple operating systems

https://security.apple.com/blog/formal-verification-corecrypto/

https://github.com/apple/corecrypto

A blueprint for formal verification of Apple corecrypto - Apple Security Research

With the latest release of corecrypto, we’re publishing our implementations of quantum-secure ML-KEM and ML-DSA algorithms, along with the mathematical proofs we built to assure they are faithful to the FIPS 203 and FIPS 204 specifications. To advance the state of the art for assuring critical software, we're also publishing the formal verification libraries and tools that we created to achieve the strongest known correctness results for any widely-deployed production implementation of the relevant algorithms.

to be absolutely clear: alpine is *not* switching to systemd or implementing a 'systemd compatibility layer'.

Phrack wants your art!

The theme for this issue is retro sci-fi / old-school cybernetic futures.

CRT glow, vector grids, space paranoia, BBS aesthetics, analog cyberpunk, forgotten futures. But we accept all kinds of contributions :)

ANSI, illustration, collage, renders, weird experiments.

Deadline June 30th

PSA Brave is run by a religious zealot homophobe who has a history of wanting to take away civil rights from people and is fueled by money from Peter Thiel.

Now you can keep track of how many billions the AI companies are losing on AI. (Red is spending, green is revenue.) https://isaiprofitable.com/
