Also Opus 5.5 is often made useless due to its [cyber] guardrails (even worse than Astra), they're even worse than Astra's

One example: https://claude.ai/share/20487190-cf8c-4f25-a7ba-ebfcb1d1a4e9

Notice that this isn't cybersec nor memory-safety related at all.

> I then switched back to MacOS and am mostly happy hanging on to Sequoia… but I’m dreading the point at which (for some reason) Apple make it unavoidable to upgrade.

MacOS 27 is a lot less shit than 26, thankfully. I upgraded from 15 to 27 directly (on a M-series Mac).

> Switch 2 remains unhacked

What is Switch 2 security doing here? (independently of it having so few features added per update)

My guess they mean some kind of jailbreaking.

Sure but it's the odd one out in a list of whishing manufacturers added features.

"Switch 2 remains unhacked" is rather disrepectful of the hacking community, and runs on the assumption that the Switch 2 has significant vulns. It's very well possible it doesn't have any high-privilege software exploit at all.

After all if one cas use AI to find vulns and/or to RE, it's even easier for the OS developer (Nintendo) to use it to find bugs in their code before release.

It's also only been out a little over a year; early in the life serving its intended purpose. What's the rush? Lol

Nope, I think the angle was more along the lines of:

Mythos, Fable, Astra & co were supposed to end humanity in 6-12 months and they can't even hack the Switch 2?!?

Which is a fair enough point.

FWIW while(true) / for(;;) (or any other loop condition that is a true constant-expression) is NOT UB in C, only C++.

In any case stuff like __asm__ __volatile__("" ::: "memory") prevent such optimizations in the rare case you do need branch-to-self.

AFAIK zero-init is unfortunately the default compiler use (but you can change that)

Pausing AI training would benefit them a lot, as inference is insanely profitable (> 50% margins with maximum demand, afaik)

Basically asking the government to hobble the competition so they can IPO before the music stops.

Does it do so while using an asymmetric key encryption key?

Kind of? It uses SSL

> If one user could have found this using AI. Then I would imagine anyone else could have found it.

People are still fixated on using AI to produce code (to reduce salary costs/dev time) rather than using it to audit bugs in one own's code, which they are better at.

The latter has "always" been obvious to me.
