LLM chat exposures keep on coming. Why? My theory is that these platforms don't do a very good job explaining to users what their public/share features mean. Result: users may think that while something is public that doesn't necessarily mean that anyone is indexing or caching. image Story:
What took them so long? Maybe they had to dust off exploits from the 2000s? Or maybe the better question is: how many unnoticed breaches have happened here. It is an open secret (ask any lawyer) that these court filing systems are incredibly out of date. image https://www.politico.com/news/2025/08/06/federal-court-filing-system-pacer-hack-00496916

Own goal alert. Governments constantly demand more access to monitor us. But are completely reckless about the systems they use to handle that data. Harming all of us. image
How are Daily Active User numbers looking on #Nostr these days? #AskNostr
Age verification laws are coming fast. And, from my perspective, opponents are struggling to find impactful messaging to explain to the general public the damage they are about to do to freedom. Or to propose alternate futures that address the underlying anxieties. Sure, most folks that are here on #Nostr intuitively understand the dangers... And nod along when we gesture at the dangers of surveillance overreach. But I worry that the common language for talking about these initiatives typically relies on some priors that are not universally shared outside people that live and breathe concerns about tech. Saying that something is a surveillance dystopia works on me. But not the neighbors. I'm guilty of being inside this language bubble too, and it's hard to escape. Yet, when faced with politicians talking about protecting kids from bad things that parents feel they see right now... I worry that the communities doing pushback are struggling to: 1 -find framing that makes *enough sense* to the vast majority of people that they say 'ok this is net bad' and push back 2- find their own ways to productively connect with the anxieties that politicians are drawing on. E.g. worried parents. 3- offer things that are honest, well meaning alternative paths for the underlying problems Anyone have thoughts on this? #AskNostr
We are in the opening chapter of using vibecoding to assert your rights. And reclaim your freedoms. Tremendous time to be alive.
It seems to me like a strong anti-AI view is becoming left / progressive coded. I'd love to understand this better. Anyone have thoughts?
