The Intelligence Agencies love these exploits and jealously hoard their zero day exploits. If this was in danger from LLMs (not really AI) then it would pose an interesting dilemma for them. But I suppose they could always poison the LLM well and use it to add more scurrilous backdoors that they have developed.
Dems: Donald Trump is a wannabe dictator and a threat to democracy. We must use every tool to stop him getting elected or it's the end of the United States as we know it.
Meanwhile... Let's pass a spying law that is the wet dream of totalitarian dictators throughout history.
All government discussions and actions should be made available to the public who apy for them. All owners of companies (shareholders) should be jointly and severally liable for any damages and debts the company has.
This would make for a more equitable world with less growth but more accountability and less harm to people.
And yet the rational part are now on the cusp of nuclear war with Russia and the adult bookstore need conference turned out to be not only true but genuinely newsworthy.
As always though, the cover up is actually worse than the original crime.
When I now see my GP I have to respond to every question with "is that medically relevant to the issue I came in with?" That is not good for our relationship, trust between GP and patient, my treatment, or my willingness to support the NHS. Sub optional outcomes and more strain on the NHS are inevitable.
Some Cryptos are conceptually inflation hedges due to fixed supply. If people are leveraging their real world wealth to fund their crypto speculation then obviously any real world problems or crypto falls will lead to a disproportionate sell off in leveraged assets to cover margins etc.
As for Celsius, well, there is some form there from previous associations that investors should have looked at before handing over control of their assets.
Most people have faceID enabled (please don't do that!) so as soon as you hand over your device the office can claim he had to check some details, seeing camera towards you and it is unlocked. Even without this they can take it to their car and plug it in to make a backup and hack it at their convenience later.
As cute as this scenario is, wait until "Mike" is permanently banned from your meeting as well as the whole metaverse because he posted something on facebook that while factually correct is currently politically verboten. Then when it comes time to pay his salary the banks have kicked him off their platform too, assuming there isn't already a CBDC for the government to directly control. Mike has to be let go as he can't attend meetings, view online docs, or be paid. When he tries to get another, more menial, job, MS won't let him use linkedin because of something he said about a virus possibly coming from a lab. This is our real future.
AIs are as reliable as dogs. We think we know what they're up to, but we can't tell exactly what parts of the training are being picked up on, e.g. it has been shown that drug dogs react to almost imperceptible cues from their handler rather than the scent of drugs or money.
To trust our money, our freedoms and even our very lives to systems you cannot reliably interrogate or understand is madness.
"...as BPDs are searched electronically there was inevitably significantly less intrusion into individuals' privacy, as any data which has not produced a 'hit' will not be viewed by the human operator..."
That's not how it works. Spying on people is still spying on people. Either LEOs can go through what is stored later, or repeatedly, or knowledge of it inevitably changes the spied upon's actions.

"How about we prosecute non-mask wearers"
Show me the evidence that masks work in the real world.
"anti-vax activists"
Ask your doctor if this vaccine is right for you.
"COVID deniers"
I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend until death your right to say it.
"lockdown breakers"
Show me the evidence that lockdowns have a net benefit and you may have a point. But we need to wait 5 years to see the actual result and that was the point of my post.
"Lockdowns and WfH kept my partner safe."
WFH kept your partner safe, other people being locked down did not.
"explain how it was all a hoax"
Methinks you are putting words in my mouth.
All these countries lauded as performing brilliantly with Covid (civil liberties aside) cannot be judged until the pandemic has gone through its whole life cycle and the impact of public health measures can be felt (missed medical appointments, childhood development, mental health issues, excess deaths and years of life lost etc.) and that is not possible until around 2025. I have my suspicions, but will wait until the dust has settled before asking for prison time for Ferguson, Ardern, Cuomo, Whitty et al.
