1. not everyone else’s info is publicly available. I can’t just look up where you live.
2. the doxxing itself isn’t what OP warns about, but acting with the information in a dangerous manner

You had me at “porn”

Citizens United

Such naming pisses me off so much; and that this kind of deception works so well.

In Germany we have for example the “Association of Family Businesses” who regularly advocate for libertarian shit. The name alone makes people think of the nice little baker two streets away that is run in the fourth generation, while the actual members are billionaires like Rossmann, Vorwerk, etc.

Oh or also the “farmer’s association” which typically lets people think of that nice old dude with his 10 cows and 2 tractors, while in reality it’s the big corporations (including dairy factories and chemical companies).

Any PC that can play video games is fully sufficient to generate text with LLMs.

I am all for local inference, but that is a super ignorant and uninformed take. I hope you are not running around complaining about the hallucinations and bad quality of LLM generated stuff, if your baseline are models that fit in 8 GB of VRAM or something. And no, 16 or even 24 GB wouldn’t bring you close to what the big models can do.

A lot of damage is still done, though. Just thinking of the fiasco in Finnland

That would actually be smart. With the current hype, there’s a lot of money floating around. Increasing that a bit more to fulfill regulations would be a non issue to them. We might even end up with more advances to green technology simply because at that scale it’s worth to invent new solutions.

I thought bears mix those in for you in advance /s

Short on money then

Sure, could be that they do the right thing for the wrong reasons. But it’s still the right thing.

Rather: they are free to do protocol negotiation with the DNS server I supply. If it speaks DoH, go for it.

You can spoof a lot with enough motivation. But it’s likely inconvenient enough that it will “catch” 90% of the targets.

Deezer is also pretty lenient with its family plan so far. However so is YouTube. YouTube family, which includes YouTube music, isn’t even excessively expensive if you actually share it between 6 people.

They are not that dumb. Apparently the code changes every few minutes (or seconds). Just a matter of time until they also check geolocation and/or IP during the scan.

I see. Yeah then it’s crap.

If it’s really a PoC, it would actually execute and therefore exploit something (otherwise it wouldn’t be a proof). In which case it doesn’t matter if it’s vibecoded or not. If you succeed in breaching a system with it, there’s an issue that needs to be fixed.

No, it’s about bits /s

But why does this need any new legislation? It doesn’t matter if the agent is air gapped or not, as long as it doesn’t do illegal stuff. Hacking is illegal unless you were tasked to do so for security reasons by the target.

As long as judges don’t start treating agents as independent persons, their operator should be on the hook for everything they do. So if you fail to safeguard your agent, and your agent performs an illegal action, you are liable. That should be deterrence enough.

But isn’t that the problem? You can’t force a rogue user to do anything; or they wouldn’t be rogue. So why should they apply air gapping to their agents?

Very possible. They rely on good translations for example, and I would assume Yandex was one of the services that offered this. Or at least it might have run in the same data centers.

Without trustworthy translations, you can hardly influence as easily.

And even if there are alternatives, the existing data pipelines need to be reworked first (new APIs, no contracts, etc)
