- Comment on Meta is Adding AI-Powered Summaries to WhatsApp 1 month ago:
They might publish components of it enough to verify that the processing code is not emitting any data but as others said - it could’ve been done locally on the phone
- Comment on Meta is Adding AI-Powered Summaries to WhatsApp 1 month ago:
From what I gather the texts are encrypted and sent to their LLMs that process it with some mechanism to verify the code being run in the cloud to process the texts is one that the WhatsApp app agreed to.
But they could just as well start siphoning the data after changing that code. Everyone will be able to see the cloud code changed if/when tbat happens but I don’t think there’s a way to differentiate that from a regular update.
Don’t think theyve opensourced any of this

Might give you some ideas on how to do that
- Comment on WhatsApp is officially getting ads 2 months ago:
Unfortunately “better” varies from person to person. Signal is behind on features, e.g. WhatsApp has integration for businesses (customer support).
I hope my monthly donation will help but we must realize for some some features are important, I guess that for most it’s how many ppl they know is there/unwilling to lead a migration

- Comment on Penn Engineers Discover a New Class of Materials That Passively Harvest Water from Air 2 months ago:
I’d recommend reading the article before trying to make a comparison.
When water condenses on surfaces, it usually requires either a drop in temperature or very high humidity levels. Conventional water harvesting methods rely on these principles, often requiring energy input to chill surfaces or a dense fog to form to collect water passively from humid environments. But Lee and Patel’s system works differently.
