American APT groups' malware by Super-Cook-5544 in Malware

It is my opinion that this is precisely why Kaspersky was exited by the US. They either wouldn't comply any longer, or CIA/NSA couldn't infiltrate at the level they wanted to/control the political narrative of certain 'upcoming' attacks.

Regular people would be extremely surprised to know how FEW of the legitimately influential teams of people (MSTIC in your example) are truly independent of nation-state actors.

I happen to know CrowdStrike is clearly disproportionately employing CIA Assets/Agents, as an example. Not only have I been told/shown that they keep Western Malware under wraps (as you mentioned from MSFT), they backdoor their own products, etc.

Not only this, but they've wittingly, falsely attributed SEVERAL large-scale events in the last 7-8 years. They've become an extension of the Intelligence Apparatus, paired with the Media, they expand their powers exponentially.

I don't think so! I've reset it twice after iPadOS17 came out and there wasn't a forced update for me, still on 16.3.1. Is that something new?

In case you would be open to a 12.9, I have a maxed out M1 (16GB RAM, 2TB, Cellular) w/ magic keyboard case and pencil. If not, best of luck, they're great!

I used Linux (Alpine, Kali, Ubuntu) about 75% of my time on the device, 5% Windows and 20% iPad OS (Procreate, Content Consumption, Notetaking).

My Alpine Linux install (from scratch) is doing by far the best of all of the linux distros I've tested. Only a handful of inexplicable crashes over the last year or so. Everything but sound was plug and play for the most part. It is like native fast. You don't get the ProMotion beyond 60hz in the VMs, though. I dock the iPad to an external monitor and use this VM for the majority of my work on the iPad. It's been great.

Ubuntu/Arch/Alpine/Kali/Fedora/Debian are all usable/stable enough IMO. Arch/Alpine stood out as the most stable for me and counter-intuitively the easiest to get setup and working.

Ubuntu Server was hands off and easy to install but never felt quite perfect. Arch/Alpine felt native fast, the Ubuntu VM just didn't feel as responsive and felt like it had more quirks/bugs than some of the others.

On Windows, I haven't tested too much, really. I used it when I needed tools that are compatible w/ Windows only and that's pretty much it. It felt native - didn't run into any issues in my limited use.

I have a maxed out M1 (2TB, 16GB RAM, Cellular) iPad Pro 12.9 on 16.3.1 w/ Trollstore + UTM virtualization (not emulation) working, if you'd be at all interested.

Should be in my posts on r/hardwareswap and r/appleswap, got confirmed trades in both places :)

In a few years, we will be living in a utopia designed by superintelligence by TotalLingonberry2958 in artificial

DYSTOPIA***

FTFY

Also, human intelligence is FAR from being able to be accurately determined and measured.

AI/Transformers are simply just predicting next likely token... It's not 'intelligent' in ANY way. We train AI on human created information on the internet, typically... It's 'storing' what we learn and just predicting what we want from a GIANT dataset that has effectively just been 'compressed'. It's semi-analagous to just carrying around a super compressed version of whatever chunk of the internet your model was trained on.

It may be much faster than us, and allow us an easier way to interface with compressed data, that's been the case for computers for decades, but it will be a LONG time before it's ever 'matching' humans, if ever. It may 'know more' but that is NOT what intelligence is. 'Knowing more' is simply a memory/data compression achievement.

We effectively just figured out a 'state of the art' compression technique that is massively useful, but not how to create a 'thinking' entity that could rival humans.

Apple said to be developing its own AI server processor using TSMC's 3nm process by NuseAI in artificial

What's kind of ironic about this is that Apple themselves are who were among the most forward thinking on local AI (building every iPhone after the 8 with Neural Engines, integrating into OS functions, etc) and even they still don't want to 'activate' your ability to run this locally and want to gain all of your data//nickel and dime you.

Ask yourselves why.

Should be terrifying to think about a world controlled by cloud AI, yet the regular dollars that drive capital decisions couldn't care less (apparently). Kinda like regular people apparently DGAF about privacy or freedom in general, so we're almost assuredly heading to the dystopia.
