This is very interesting. Not saying it is, but a possible endgame for Chinese models could be to have "backdoor" commands such that when a specific string is passed in, agents could ignore a particular alert or purposely reduce security. A lot of companies are currently working on "Agentic Security Operation Centers", some of them preferring to use open source models for sovereignty. This feels like a viable attack vector.
Yep, focus on actors may be warranted, but in a broad view and as a part of existing system and not 'their own system'. Otherwise, we get lost in a sea of IC level of paranoia. In simple terms, nations-states will do what nation-states will do ( which is basically whatever is to their advantage ).
That does not mean we can't have a technical discussion that bypasses at least some of those considerations.
That is just factually incorrect. Most Chinese Malaysians are either Cantonese or Hokkien, with closer ties to Taiwan and Hong Kong than the mainland. A lot of the older folk don't even speak Mandarin. Keep in mind the CCP wasn't even in power when most migrated here.
Wow republicans are now called fascist? Idk I always thought Schwarzenegger was such a nice example, wise, gentle, kind, funny and republican. Not loving the Trump, sure, but to say such a thing based on how someone votes, man you’re falling low.
Edit ok read the X post, man you guys are losing it if you call that fascist. So divided, you can be either black or white. I feel sorry for you.
Say one thing good about Trump and you’re a fascist, just pretend that all he does is bad. There is no more way of looking at it objectively. No wonder you are so divided over there. I really would stop watching the news. Half your country voted for him. What does it say about you that you view half your country as fascists?
It's probably less about viewing Trump as a fascist and more being afraid of being grouped in with Trump supporters by your in-group. It's a really divided country and there are circles where you could be outed even for expressing neutrality.
Again, I am not American, and would rather avoid the mess that is their politics
Mullvad servers are fast enough. On some occasions, I can only connect to Mullvad through 3 hops. Me -> Chinese VPS -> DigitalOcean VPS -> Mullvad. I can still stream YouTube just fine (1MiB/s)
Context: during government meetings in a particular region, their network policies would become more restrictive so that it’s only possible to connect to Chinese IPs. Chinese VPSs are exempt but cannot connect to Mullvad directly due to a Fortinet rule. Connections are done with a mix of Trojan-gfw, xray, and WireGuard
