Spokespeople for NCTA and pharmaceutical company Gilead said that they immediately paused their ad spending on X after CNN flagged their ads on the pro-Nazi account.

Alt-speak: we only care if the media report that our ad placements were next to questionable contents.

Yeah, some source say that the raised examples have been fixed by the different LLMs since exposure. The problem is algorithmic, so if you can follow the research, you may be able to come up with other strings that cause a problem.

There did seem to be a controversy in March about whether or not the word should go.

Haha, if you quickly skipped the “and people” part. Happen all the time. Brain cycles are expensive.

OK. Info added.

addy.io is a privacy-focused email service that allows you to create and manage email aliases…

You’re right. Edited.

Biometrics data that can’t be changed in the control of questionable corporations? No way. It’s gonna be sort of like Reddit: your data is our property, and in this case, it looks like they actually give you minimally in exchange.

Summary

• Scientists at the Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have developed a new way to detect denial-of-service attacks.
• The new technique is more accurate than current methods, correctly identifying 99% of attacks in testing.
• The technique works by tracking the evolution of entropy, a measure of disorder in a system.
• During a denial-of-service attack, two measures of entropy go in opposite directions. At the target address, many more clicks than usual are going to one place, a state of low entropy. But the sources of those clicks, whether people, zombies or bots, originate in many different places—high entropy. The mismatch could signify an attack.
• The new technique is automated and doesn’t require close oversight by a human to distinguish between legitimate traffic and an attack.
• The researchers say that their program is “lightweight”—it doesn’t need much computing power or network resources to do its job.
• The PNNL team is now looking at how the buildout of 5G networking and the booming internet of things landscape will have an impact on denial-of-service attacks.
