While Signal messages might be e2e encrypted, people tend to forget that the platform collects phone numbers of its users, which can be used to identify people. This makes Signal an effective metadata collection tool that resides on a central server in the US. By cross-referencing these identities with data from other companies like Google or Meta, the government can create a comprehensive picture of people's connections and affiliations. 🧵 This allows identifying people of interest and building detailed graphs of their relationships. Signal may seem like an innocuous messaging app on the surface, but it cold easily play a crucial role in government data collection efforts. It was originally funded by CIA cutout Open Technology Fund, part of Radio Free Asia. Its Chairwoman is Katherine Maher, who worked for NDI/NED: regime-change groups, and a member of Atlantic Council, WEF, US State Department Foreign Affairs Policy Board etc. @yogthos Just to play Devil's advocate: What are the alternatives? XMPP might be, but they haven't been able to get their shit together for a decade and a half regarding... well, everything. Jabber is in shambles, especially regarding E2EE: https://soatok.blog/2024/08/04/against-xmppomemo/ Matrix just has awful protocol design that crumbles under its own weight. Don't believe me? Try visiting #matrix:matrix.org. So... We're kinda screwed, aren't we. @yogthos well... competition is natural. Isn't that the whole reason evolution exists? It's the default. Humans created societies to stabilize things, but outside of those efforts, it's just competition and chaos. Right? how to browse the web in 2024 1. open site

@yogthos Someone who is on sides for stupid People, shut not wonder that he will be used as stupid people, Fill out net promoter score, answering how much you'd absolutely love to recommend this to your friends and co-workers. LLM routing aims to reduce costs by directing simple queries to less capable, cheaper models, and complex queries to stronger models. RouteLLM is a framework that uses preference data and data augmentation to train routers that decide which LLM to use, achieving significant cost savings without compromising quality. https://lmsys.org/blog/2024-07-01-routellm/ Excellent! Detecting "simple queries" is clearly halting-complete, so someone's solved the halting problem at last! Here is an AI for you to put in front of your other AI so you can save on running the other AI by passing your data through this AI so it might redirect it to yet another AI helping you to dumbify the response in even more unexpected ways.
When you own the orchestra, you get to choose the music, and the oligarchs love having their own personal band to drown out dissenting voices. @yogthos Have you heard of the book Principia Mathematica? 1+1=2 is not as obvious as you might think, it's just what you're used to. |
