It took Ireland years from an ECHR ruling to rule buggery was not unlawful, and Ireland was given a special exemption to the EUs abortion laws which remained in place for 26 years.
That and the big question over, if they do detect a domestic agency's APT, will they even report it? Warning: Top Secret / NoForn leaks below.
Allegedly,
- McAfee reached out to the FBI about Magic Lantern,
- Kaspersky were believed by the NSA to not detect Russian-affiliated malware,
- and I can't find any sources for this, but I remember reading about and having chats earlier in my career with folks in AV companies mulling over what to do in this situation.
The article states that, "Even though we knew we’d technically be lying about our security to anyone we sent these policies to for review ... we decided to adopt these policies because we simply didn’t have the bandwidth to rewrite them all manually."
Delighted to see more awareness on this - I hadn't seen the mxmap sites before. I believe it will be hand waved away by those with the power to change it, excusing the data as being stored in the EU, or just believing the various 'safe harbour' rules that exist now.
The mere fact that editing is applied to newspapers, documentaries, or Wikipedia does not imply they become closer to the objective truth or free of omissions after the edits. Indeed, the edits may go the other way to align with vested business or political biases or personal fears of the editors or their management.
As for research papers, I agree that the peer review process makes them more much more self-correcting toward the objective truth, compared to the other formats. Nonetheless, it's well-known that academic research is far from perfect due to publication pressures, funding/grants, reproducibility crises, various biases (for example, political pressure in humanities fields).
Needless condescension and wrong assumption. No wonder so many people and students nowadays prefer answers (and even counseling) from LLMs instead of other people.
> but the absence of an editor or peer reviewer also does not make it better.
I don't see how disputing up the claim that LLMs and books, newspapers, etc are equitable sources of information is a strawman. I look forward to your erudite vernacular which will not deal with the substance of my comment.
