We shipped a Privacy Gateway for Darkmoon: an open source autonomous AI pentest agent can use a frontier model without the model ever seeing your real IPs, hosts or creds. Deterministic placeholders, local rehydration, anti exfiltration. Proven on OWASP Juice Shop: 56 vulns found, model never saw a real IP. GPLv3.

This is something I've suspected from the early days of the AI boom. If this stuff was as good as they claim, it would be a closely guarded industrial secret. The fact they're so eager to get us to use it tells me it's primary value isn't what it can do, but what it can be sold for. Or, as Cory says, "Go Meta!".

If you think about it, this is coming from a group of people who famously fetishize disruption. The fact that they aren't using their own #AI to disrupt & take over the sectors they are so keen to sell their product to is a huge red flag.

Horrified/entertained to hear my daughter tell me that, on her recent flight, she watched the woman in the seat in front of her fill out a "pastoral pre-marital counseling" form by pasting answers from #ChatGPT.

"How should household tasks be divided in a marriage?"

[ChatGPT in another tab] How should household tasks be divided in a marriage? --> paste output

"What are three fears you have about marriage?"

[ChatGPT] What are three fears people have about marriage? --> paste output

etc.

After I got done terror-laughing I asked if this person looked about 18 years old.

"No, she was about 30."

We are fucked.

In the near future, AI-powered surveillance systems will be able to track everything we do in public, and much of what we do in private. And if we do something wrong—shoplift, litter, jaywalk, you name it—the system will notice, retain it, tie it to your official government record, communicate that fact to you, and provide real-time alerts to any relevant authorities… and maybe also to the general public.

Think of these systems as automated speed cameras, but on steroids. Only they’ll enforce not just speed limits, but any other rule you can imagine. And you won’t receive a ticket weeks later by mail; you’ll be informed about and fined for your violation immediately.

These systems will combine powerful AI, public and private surveillance via real-time facial recognition technology and digital tracking, mass databases and highly personalized enforcement. If deployed at scale, they will have profound chilling effects not just on personal freedoms, but democracy and social progress itself.

I know #AI is controversial, especially on @Mastodon, but I think it's possible to have #AIforGood

I wanted to remove the friction of adding good alt text to images on Mastodon and also to help people write better alt text, especially since the built-in "Add text from image" is insufficient for that.

So, I created a browser extension/add-on for Chrome, Firefox, and Safari called "Alt Text for the Fediverse"

The first ransomware campaign run end to end by an AI agent just got documented (Sysdig calls it JadePuffer): recon, cred theft, lateral movement, encryption, ransom note, no human on the tooling.

Everyone's fixated on the machine. Look how it got in: a CVE known for over a year, a 2021 bug, default creds. Zero zero-days.

Machine speed doesn't need a clever door when the old ones are still open. The defense didn't change, it just got more urgent.

This is the first time in years I feel anxiety again. I feel powerless and overwhelmed.
* Over how big data companies can use, sell and train AI with. Meta for example.
* Over the growing fascism in this world.
* Over EU and chat control.
* And many other things

I'm tired, news to rest for a bit, and then resume the fight for my own rights.
