thread_id | 17 days ago | on: Europe's Cyber Bullets Can't Replace Political Will

Google's latest AI threat tracker report mostly describes how threat actors are using AI, but the report begins by calling out distillation attacks. Google frames these types of attacks as a form of intellectual property theft.

Google cited one example that involved more than 100,000 queries to its Gemini AI. The campaign appeared to be about "replicating Gemini's reasoning ability in non-English target languages."

Google didn't call out any particular country or competitor, but instead referred to "frequent model extraction attacks from private sector entities all over the world and researchers seeking to clone proprietary logic."

This was first published 3 weeks ago when it was all about drug boats - and the US had just siezed the first oil tanker. Now this analysis takes on a whole new meaning in the context of everything that has happened in the last 48 hours.

The article is actually not about trump at all... rather it is a very clearly articulated case that the fed is completely subject to agency capture by the big banks and outlines a solution for solving this problem

> Life is a beautiful gift, and it’s worth remembering that every day. Do what you love, do a lot of it, be kind to others, hug your cherished people, laugh, enjoy, smile…breathe. > I love you all, and hope you’re enjoying every moment of this incredible journey through the Universe on this floating space rock.

Thank you... this is what it's all about - it's really as simple as that.

This post and the discussion is great!!! Brings me back to 2 different projects/products that I developed that never made it to market (2009 and 2014). I also kept a log of ideas most of which withered in the light of day but a few persisted. And for each project I went off to live in a cave and code for a year (not recommended). Looking back I absolutely should have shared what I was working on and found support from a community (highly recommended). All of these ideas are excellent. Thank you for sharing them.

Does anyone consider the possibiity that this site and content are neither NASA nor JPL? The URL is suspicious and certificate is not trusted.

Update: It's actually my Safari Browser which is giving me this message. Works fine on google.

thread_id | 11 months ago | on: Ethically sourced "spare" human bodies could revolutionize medicine

>Recently, researchers have used these stem cells to create structures that seem to mimic the early development of actual human embryos. At the same time, artificial uterus technology is rapidly advancing, and other pathways may be opening to allow for the development of fetuses outside of the body.

>Such technologies, together with established genetic techniques to inhibit brain development, make it possible to envision the creation of “bodyoids”—a potentially unlimited source of human bodies, developed entirely outside of a human body from stem cells, that lack sentience or the ability to feel pain.

Where have I seen this before? Isn't this a plotline taken directly from numerous dystopian science fiction books and movies I have experienced? Life imitates art. Was this outcome inevitable? Think Aldous Huxley 'Brave New World'.

why can't I upvote the story? Also this posting must be burried 100 pages down. It's non-existant. So if I understand the discourse, anything critical of (His You-Know-Whoness) get's automatically down ranked and flagged?
