I don't know the author insinuated that. It sounded more like, we release the car now, and as engineers come up with new capabilities, they get rolled out over a software update. Case in point was my car received an update that pulled in weather data. That didn't exist in the UI originally, and they added it with time.

I still think you have a point here. Doing this kind of testing on users unwittingly is unethical in my opinion

It's also hard to imagine how difficult you must enjoy being, when you could have offered a kind clarification but instead dove into some obituary style takedown.

I might be mis-remembering but wasn't Pegasus spyware able to bypass the camera indicator? Or was the issue that journalists were constantly seeing the light appear for no reason. I believe it was one of those.

Pegasus is primarily a mobile spyware toolkit and iPhone does not have a hardware light

I mean, we don't really have any indication that the MacBook camera light is hard wired into anything.

For those who are interested, you can disassemble/image the assembly and see there is no funny business. People have done it. If there is something more complex than a power line, something is afoot.

I have no way of interrogating some GPU firmware.


>>He asked staff to attend the meeting, which is normally optional. >Is that false?

Judging from the comment above, no, the meeting happens every week, and this week they were asked to attend.


This one has always confused me. And then, to be even more confusing, if you start sliding up slowly, the background does not disappear. It stays this time around. Pull down slowly, no background, just the glass effect. Pull up slowly, still have the background, no glass effect. I guess I don't necessarily hate it, it's more of a neutral thing, but who is deciding these strange things??

>I guess I don't necessarily hate it, it's more of a neutral thing, but who is deciding these strange things??

Probably nobody, just some artifact of the overlay APIs used default behavior that they didn't bother to streamline.


In this case, the behavior is so weird and easy to trigger that I'm sure someone has filed a radar by now. So somebody has at least written a post-hoc justification?

This article doesn't even try to hide the fact that it's propoganda. The CEO of Anthropic said there were two use cases, the DoD (Trump does not have the authority to rename it) hadn't even attempted yet, but due to this potential limitation, our hot headed SecDef decided it would be best to ban them altogether.

>cleanse their supply chains of Anthropic Likening an American tech company to.. dirt? Disease? Sin? Why do they need to be cleansed?

>"...it has already done harm, significant harm to the company,” he added, referring to Anthropic. What has done harm? Anthropic giving the boundaries for what their technology can and can't do?

I think about the (also propaganda) 60 minutes interview with Dario. The interviewer said that Boeing doesn't give the government limitations on what it can do with planes, so how is Anthropic any different. Utter lies. This would be like Boeing saying "Our plane can't reliably fly past 800 MPH or land on top of a home" and Pete Hegseth saying he VERY much wanted to land turbine-propelled jets on home ceilings at 900 MPH, so he must ban Boeing.

It's just blatant lies and propoganda. But when you and your friends run the government and own all the media companies, I guess you get to steer the conversation.


Thanks for sharing. I am somewhat in the same boat as OP so this is really helpful!

It'll be the first time a BMW ever used turn signals!


People like to hate on BMW drivers but a BMW driver was the only person in a hardware store parking lot to help me with jump-starting my car.


Not if they trained on driver data. Will come with tailgating, lane swerving and flashing high beams as standard. Sonar will be used to judge the minimum distance you can ram behind someone and when to activate high beams.
