There’s a major state sponsored misinformation and smear campaign towards GrapheneOS in the Netherlands and Germany. The misinformation campaign includes unsubstantiated security claims not holding up to scrutiny to scare people away from it. They’re also heavily misrepresenting who uses it overall.
These smear campaigns conflate GrapheneOS with forks and modifications of it sold by shady companies. Those usually include a device management app to remotely manage the devices of their customers as if they’re employees. These are largely not GrapheneOS devices or have preinstalled malware apps.
France, Germany, Spain and the Netherlands are becoming increasingly authoritarian surveillance states with an ongoing crackdown against privacy. It’s happening throughout the whole EU and it’s likely both secure devices and end-to-end encryption without backdoors are going to end up outlawed.
There are a bunch of companies based in the EU selling phones with drastically worse privacy and security than an iPhone including Jolla, Volla, Murena and iodé. These products are effectively backdoored by not providing standard privacy and security patches/protections while misleading users.
But you wouldn’t be doing the work would you. No, you would just be using someone else’s work.
Tell me you don’t write code without saying so out loud.
Im neither in the pro or anti ai game nor did i program anything since i finished school so i dont know if or how much ai uses someones elses code… But in general why do you think it is important to do the same work again if somone already found a solution? I mean for example in 99% of the cases you wouldnt expect someone to reinvent the pythagorean theorem? I dont think that the original coder cares too much about who uses the code after they get paid (if its paid work) and if there are problems, ai cant find or steal you still need to let money flow to some coder? The second thing i think about is that you dont have a chance stop ai anyway so why not trying to find solutions to the problems that come with it?
So the end justifies the means, great argument.
didnt mention any “mean” but wanted to ask you what you think the mean is, because you wrote about that. I also didnt mention any “end”? Just wanted to understand why you think what you said was a bad thing, thats it. I dont even have an opinion on that topic i just found it interesting how you come to your conclusion (because i heard about that opinion also in many non ai topics before and never got it. I have the theory that its something about equality on effort? Idk maybe you can tell me why you see things that way).
