Perhaps crypto should have a transaction delay with a user held reverse key for transactions above a certain user defined amount.
If a transaction is above that amount, you get alerts by email, SMS, push notification...
If it's expected you let it go though. If not, you take out the key, then reverse it.
Of course legit recipients would wait until the delay period is over before considering the transaction to be complete.
No worries if an attacker steals the key. Why would they reverse their own transaction?

There is a push for that, but the fixes (often as little as a one line Dockerfile change in some cases) still have to be tested and verified by a real engineer.
Otherwise everywhere would have patched already with AI.

This is what I do. I'll only use crypto in a few rare cases where I don't want the vendor to get my credit card number. Always in amounts that, if ever stolen, would not break the bank.

Given these types of security bugs that are being found left and right, I reckon there's going to be an uptick in hiring of software engineers to fix them.

Given AI assisted hacking is now a thing, it's probably not safe to keep your crypto in any centralized exchange anymore.
Better general security yes, but the incentive to hack them is quite large and now more hackers have the ability to pull it off.

This makes sense given all of the power outages largely caused by U.S. sanctions. You would in this scenario want to have more daylight extending into the night time hours.

tl;dr
Its not creating bioweapons, but has code obfuscation that makes it look to an LLM like it is, to resist LLM reverse engineering of its code by triggering refusals. It even has Tienanmen square references to trip over the chinese models.

How about private channels?
The servers I've joined typically have a lobby where you land right after joiming, and you need an admin to approve you before you get access to the actual channels

I suppose in some contexts, refusals are a bad thing.
But if you're doing anything where your AI agent might get exposed to a prompt injection attack, you might prefer it to do a refusal in that case.

International students make up about 5% of the total rental housing demand but their impact tends to be felt most in capital cities where the universities are.
Removing them won't improve things as much as you might think.
The housing crisis is a supply and demand problem so they've got to increase housing supply.
The problem there is these is a shortage of construction workers. So the workforce simply isn't there to build more houses. Current construction workforce is 110% maxxed out.
I reckon they should be handing out visas to qualified construction workers left and right to solve that problem, then get the homes built. Dubai and Singapore do this and have no such shortage of construction workers. I can't see why we can't do the same.
Removing international students will also have big flow on negative effects for the rest of the economy.

Ah, some nice white noise to fall asleep to...
Until the apocalypse arrives that is.

This could be a trap.
Someone does the exploit, then the creator of this service logs it and uses that exploit to go after higher value targets...

The AI in the TV was listening for dogs barking and babys crying, a gross invasion of privacy. Possibly this could have been for ad targeting purposes.
With projects like REA, it's going to get harder and harder for companies to get away with things like this.
I'd love to see the major social media apps reverse engineered and analyzed in this way. I can only imagine the dodgy practices that'll be found if this happens.

Until I looked, I thought I'd see Kimi vs Claude competitive gaming with pacman.
That would have been interesting to watch, which model gets the highest score.
