Why not? I can understand that they might be cautious about sharing their data with a Chinese company. But them being the most successful companies means that they can just buy their own hardware. And run whatever…
> very hard to move off of without convincing a lot of others In my opinion, you do not need to convince anyone. Just leave. And face the consequences. If you think it is the right thing to do, do it. Do not wait for it…
I would be interested in knowing which devices were (or still are) vulnerable to these zero click exploits. And how those exploits (used to) work, specifically.
A very good point. I assume that it is the current go-to way to operate for many spy agencies. Hire intermediaries. Who are then tasked to hire further intermediaries. Who then do the dirty work. Without a clue of where…
You might make a distinction between looking at the door and walking through that door. But that is a flawed analogy to this particular issue. Because you cannot "look" at API. API has a single purpose. It can be used.…

There is no agreement you need to enter into in order to use public APIs. That is the purpose of public APIs. Usage without prior agreements. If the API providers want to restrict the usage of their APIs, they are free…
What are you talking about, specifically? Using software with specific licenses? Or making modifications to it? That is substantially different from reading the public APIs.
Terms of service have no legal binding unless both parties agree to them. In other words, if X has a public API and Nitter is using it, then neither Nitter themselves nor the Nitter users have to agree to any terms of…
I do not understand how what you have suggested could be considered as an appropriate analogy. No one implied that the author should offer their product for free. I merely suggested that they need to focus on other…
Of course. I think that the differentiating factor must be something else than the software product feature. Because that can easily be copied or recreated. It can be e.g. the customer support where customers will be…
I would suggest that, instead of trying to complain about the people copying your products, which I think is practically impossible to avoid, and even from your own experience preventing it has led nowhere so far, you…

This figure is about the water consumption only. The estimate about the electricity consumption, in that same article, is much higher than that. The main problem is, in my opinion, that those are just estimates. If we…
Tangential: I have recently noticed that e.g. ChatGPT, when used from a web browser, periodically sends unfinished prompts to their servers, namely to the `conversation/prepare` endpoint, without waiting for the user to…

Yes. It appears that there was another person, perhaps with another pair of such glasses, who was filming the interactions from a 3rd person's perspective.
Arguing about whether to call this kind of behavior a harassment or "a bit" of a harassment is in my opinion all besides the point. This video mainly shows a person approaching other people in public and recording them…
I think you are not missing anything. I have not checked the code itself originally, I am sorry for that. But you are right that there seem to be no actual code for the harness itself. Just the code for (some) mods,…
I understand the motivation for such a concern. But Claude Code in particular has its source code available on GitHub [0]. So I am unsure if it is fitting to call it a "closed source" harness. [0]…

There is no "panic". It is more a realization that it is becoming difficult to notice recording devices. I assume the most problematic scenarios are private. Private meetings. Private conversations. Private encounters…
