Noticed this the other day as well. Sketchy as fuck. I didn't have analytics enabled. I had to go and enable to get access to the option to turn this off

This sounds insane to me.

> Therefore, most of them have never developed real applications without tools like Lovable even if they're technical founders.

I'm pretty young (early 20s), but have been coding, reverse engineering, and hacking away for about 10 years at this point. It's not like they're funding middle school children, how is it possible? These tools are all so new.

A1111 is such a throwback. It's been ages since that & AI image generation was cool. Back before the massive amount of slop and when things were just a fun experiment

Ah I remember a very similar bug. I remember back in the day, I'd use a fork of TheBackdoorFactory so that the replaced app still functions as usual and in the background request permissions & stuff to then be able to do stuff like key logging. Apple also responded with won't fix, but I think at some point silently patched it.

> to reveal blurred version of the images being hashed

Skimmed your linked paper. It seems they were able to classify hashes up to ~8% top-1 accuracy and ~30% top-10. Not exactly a blurred version, or any images at all.

So for example, they can say that you probably have images of trees, or images of buildings, but without much other data & very low accuracy.

I'd still be a lot more concerned about them simply flagging political images rather than trying to get a broad understanding of what type of photos I have

Yup. I started learning at 10 mostly messing about with modding and dumb script kiddie stuff. You don't just get a computer one day and get an exploit out the next

I got my first bug bounty at 16. Not having access to compute would've drastically changed the direction of my life. I wouldn't have been able to afford university & would likely be working on a farm right now like my cousins

Saw this the other day on the train, and probably stared a bit too hard at the dude wearing it. Surprised to see this on HN so soon after. World feels like a simulation

I know for a fact companies in China do this. One paid me directly for work in this space, and in another, I found my own OSS project in their artifact cache while working there.

I've only ever gotten in trouble in the UK

I'm a European moving to America. Unfortunately money > public transport, and until Europe can compete on salaries and available capital, I'll have to make do with shittier transport

Mate, I live in Europe. The UK (as bad as it is, is still better than the US), the Netherlands, Belgium, and generally anywhere else that has public transport.

Largest freight rail. Public transport for normal people is still shit compared to Europe.
