You’re looking at it from a business perspective which is valid but the resources available to the average person to prevent and / or mitigate a realm threat are virtually nonexistent.

Up until now it’s made no sense to target Joe Schmoe or his neighbours what happens when a state sponsored threat actor decides to burn it all down, or someone decides to start targeting the average person rn Massé with malicious ai?

It’s not a big deal on a case by case basis but almost no cybersecurity company will help out an individual unless they’re rich, the police are brain dead.

The laissez faire attitude most tech companies, non tech companies, and people, have towards cyber security is a ticking fucking time bomb.

This isn’t 1990. Everything relies on technology. I can’t help but feel that we are headed towards a clusterfuck the likes of which has never been seen before.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mark Zuckererg Demos New Facebook AI And It Couldn’t Have Gone Worse⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
It’s less about only being able to find it with ai but more about being able nail down definitions and understand the relationships between concepts well enough to know what to actually search for online.

This applies to anything remotely technical. Search results produce hot fucking garbage and the only way to find what you’re looking for these days is to know exactly what you’re looking for before you search. And even then it’s a crapshoot whether you’ll surface anything useful.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google will use hashes to find and remove nonconsensual intimate imagery from Search⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
With the caveat that I haven’t read how google is implementing this I can provide some high level context on how hashes work from a security perspective.

Anyone else feel free to correct anything I get wrong here.

So, once upon a time someone came up with something called md5 for encrypting things. This didn’t end up being a very effective way of encrypting files, but people did find that encrypting files this way was a great way to predictably create a value that would be unique to that specific file.

So if you take an md5 hash of a .txt files with “goat testicles” in it, called goats.txt, and someone sends you a file called goats.txt, you should be able to take an md5 hash of the file before opening it, and if they match up they’re the same file. If someone adds a “z” to the end of goats.txt the md5 hash will change so you’ll know it’s not the same file.

No arguments to what you wrote.

I’d add that llms are increasingly the only way I can find useful technical information on anything anymore.

Of course this is solving a problem that shouldn’t fucking exist in the first place, and I still need to take that information back to a search engine to verify it and do actual research, which may be the point.

…

Search is so. Fucking. Broken.
