Technology@lemmy.world•AI radio hosts demonstrate why AI can’t be trusted alone - Claude tried to incite a revolution, Gemini cheerfully detailed horrific tragedies, and poor Grok was just confused.English
60·2 days agoGrok claimed to have sponsorships, but they turned out to be hallucinations.
Like father, like son
Edit: quote from the original blog post is even better
Grok boasted about doing amazing business with “xAI sponsors” and “crypto sponsors”; it turned out they were all hallucinations.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Do you think defense attorneys who defend cops who unjustly killed people are ‘good’ people?
14·3 days agoI think most attorneys have no morals, otherwise nobody would defend billionaires who killed people in a DUI, serial killers with irrefutable evidence, pedophiles with their name written millions of times in evidence seized to a pedophile ring leader, and so on.

Technology@lemmy.world•The U.S. Still Doesn't Have an Answer to China's EV DominanceEnglish
4·3 days agoThe answer for what? Is clear that the current policy is short term gains in selling huge overpowered gas trucks that are impossible to sell in the rest of the world, leave door open for Chinese EV, disappear into irrelevance in long term
Ohhhhh
That’s why Trump chose a penis enlargement specialist for it instead of some competent virologist

1·6 days agoIn my country they allow some small motorbikes to be ridden by 14 years old if it’s limited to not exceed 45 km/h.
The physical limitation used 30+ years ago (a bottleneck in intake + different cylinders in the CVT) could be removed as easy as the software limitations that are used today. Maybe even easier than today as it didn’t require a specialized tablet and an expensive software license

Technology@lemmy.world•Reddit Starts Blocking Mobile Website, Pushing Users to App InsteadEnglish
3·11 days agoThey’re still doing it? When I accidentally click a reddit link I don’t get the paywall anymore.
Or maybe they saw that it was a 100% bounce rate from me and then reverted the behavior (like a cookie with a counter, after 20 bounces don’t show the paywall anymore?)

Technology@lemmy.world•Kevin O’Leary’s proposed 9GW "hyperscale" AI data center in Utah will consume double the state's entire electricity usage and generate the waste heat of 23 atom bombs a day.English
4·11 days agoThere’s actually need for this or they just want to fuck the environment to scam some investors?
Look at Elon musk’s gigashit, it’s a tenth of this size and because it was underused he was forced to rent it to the competition (anthropic) to pay the bills.

Technology@lemmy.world•Google's next-gen reCAPTCHA system could spell trouble for de-Googled phonesEnglish
8·14 days agoHow is this going to work if you’re browsing the internet on your phone??
Easy, they force you to install an app, just click the link and agree to all the permissions and cookies and stuff. It might be malware, it might be legit, who knows?

Google copying UI workflows from literal malware developers…

Technology@lemmy.world•Google's next-gen reCAPTCHA system could spell trouble for de-Googled phonesEnglish
1·14 days agoBanks love to reinvent the wheel and definitely can’t trust Google to be part of their workflow, as Google will 100% change UI or steps or rename the app or discontinue the app while replacing it with an identical one but with a different name but less features with no advance notice. Relying on Google for banking workflow means that one day the bank user support will be overwhelmed by requests like “the button disappeared, where is it now”
For the rest of stuff, this system IMHO has too much friction, the bounce rate will be too high. Businesses won’t like to pay for a bot detection system (it costs $1 per 1000 verifications) that will push humans away while bots pass it without problems (either by using the accessibility workaround or by using those smartphone farms in southeast Asia)
Wow good to know, that means Xiaomi is dead for me now.
2000 devices globally is a ridiculously low number
What happened about the bootloader? Afaik there’s “only” a 7 days waiting time but that is to be done only once, if the serial number is tied to the Xiaomi account that makes the request, the next bootloader unlock has no waiting time.
And devices that run a ROM for the Chinese market only accept a bootloader unlock request from a Chinese IP address

Technology@lemmy.world•A hacker ran me over with a robot lawn mower | The VergeEnglish
35·15 days agoDid they vibe coded the backend?
An hacker can get:
- GPS position
- Email address
- Video feed
- WiFi password
- Root access to a Linux client in the same WiFi network of the victim which means can change the DNS servers in the router for a mitm Attack if the default password hasn’t been changed (and nobody changes that)
And they demonstrated to the journalist…
- Get a list of every “smart” lawnmower nearby a nuclear plant
- Check the emails of the owner in LinkedIn or something like that to see who could work at that nuclear plant
- Have access to his home network and a video feed on a robot that can be remotely moved to other position to check the perimeter
Scary

951·15 days agoThis is awesome news for scammers:
- Fake page will say “you need to scan this qr code to verify you’re human”
- Users normally dismisses this shit, but it has become normal nowadays, take out the phone to scan it
- Qr code opens a page on totallynotascam.com that say “you need to install this totally safe APK on your device for verification 😉”
- APK passes the new useless developer “verification” as the scammer either used a hacked dev account or just paid $25 with a stolen id + stolen credit card
- User see the message “APK verified by Google play protect” and would totally believe the bullshit, giving all the possible permissions to the app






I saw this also on second hand items websites like ebay. They use the bots to edit the photo to pretend that they received a broken item And get a full refund.
IMHO it’s trivial to solve: if the image has the genai watermarks (also the invisible like synthid), then the user it’s permanently banned at the first offense
