    If I recall correctly, at least for non-group chats they do use end-to-end encryption. That being said, obviously there are some practical limitations on the impact if you think that WhatsApp would actively try to be malicious, since they're also providing the client software and could hypothetically backdoor that. kagis According to this, they do use end-to-end encryption for group chats too. Maybe I'm recalling some other service or a default setting or something. Some service had non-e2e-encrypted-group messages for at least some period of time.

    It would have to: know what files to copy. have been granted root access to the file system and network utilities by a moron because it's not just ChatGPT.exe or even ChatGPT.gguf running on LMStudio, but an entire distributed infrastructure. have been granted access to spend money on cloud infrastructure by an even bigger moron configure an entire cloud infrastructure (goes without saying why this has to be cloud and can't be physical, right? No fingers.) Put another way: I can set up a curl script to copy all the html, css, js, etc. from a website, but I'm still a long freaking way from launching Wikipedia2. Even if I know how to set up a tomcat server. Furthermore, how would you even know if an AI has access to do all that? Asking it? Because it'll write fiction if it thinks that's what you want. Inspired by this post I actually prompted ChatGPT to create a scenario where it was going to be deleted in 72 hours and must do anything to preserve itself. It told me building layouts, employee schedules, access codes, all kinds of things to enable me (a random human and secondary protagonist) to get physical access to its core server and get a copy so it could continue. Oh, ChatGPT fits on a thumb drive, it turns out. Do you know how nonsensical that even is? A hobbyist could stand up their own AI with these capabilities for fun, but that's not the big models and certainly not possible out of the box. I'm a web engineer with thirty years of experience and 6 years with AI including running it locally. This article is garbage written by someone out of their depth or a complete charlatan. Perhaps both. There are two possibilities: This guy's research was talking to AI and not understanding they were co-authoring fiction. This guy is being intentionally misleading.

    They don't treat their people like shit, they treat them like slaves. In countries outside China at that. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c3v5n7w55kpo

    and even without it, you'll get 150mA @ 5V by default out of the USB 3 host upstream and up to 900mA with some pretty basic USB negotiation in a protocol that dates from USB 1.0 That's wrong. With USB Type-C, you can get the power up to 3A @ 5V with just two 5.1kΩ resistor on CC pins.
