>>108148975
In his imagination. The issue is that these people are using Bitcoin to shift the funds back to and from Monero, which, as the article notes, can be traced with heuristic methods. If they had just let the money sit in a Monero wallet for a few years and then slowly pulled it out, they would have most likely been fine. Even better still if they had received it directly in Monero from the get go then it would have been truly untracable.

>The AI productivity take-off is finally visible
https://archive.is/z4HEc
>For over a decade, economists have grappled with a modern iteration of the Solow Paradox: we have seen artificial intelligence everywhere except in the productivity statistics. Sceptics argue that the reason for this is that modern innovation in machine learning systems and now generative AI pale in comparison to the great inventions of the past. However, the latest benchmark revisions from the Bureau of Labor Statistics suggest the statistical fog may finally be lifting.
So the hype is over. And in figures:
>Data released this week offers a striking corrective to the narrative that AI has yet to have an impact on the US economy as a whole. While initial reports suggested a year of steady labour expansion in the US, the new figures reveal that total payroll growth was revised downward by approximately 403,000 jobs. Crucially, this downward revision occurred while real GDP remained robust, including a 3.7 per cent growth rate in the fourth quarter. This decoupling — maintaining high output with significantly lower labour input — is the hallmark of productivity growth.
>My own updated analysis suggests a US productivity increase of roughly 2.7 per cent for 2025. This is a near doubling from the sluggish 1.4 per cent annual average that characterised the past decade.

Long story short: more is done with fewer people.

too early to say anything meaningful. I am part of that 5% and well, I do have to run on the threadmill not to get outed. Seing what happens in other well funded corps, top guys do the work of industrialization, pushing more burden paradoxically on people below (like you have to be way more efficient as things accelerate).
That's what i'd say awaits us ofr the next 5 years. Now what will actually happen, wether the "bubble bursts" and everyone is in a hellhole as no one can use AI for a reasonable cost anymore, or capacities just skyrocket and people are considered cattle, i don't know.
Only thing I know is to keep building and trying to stay on top of that tech as much as possible, honing your personnal skills in prep for the two outcomes

>>108154517
it's not yet able to find complex chains in black box envs. It's going to be eventually, but the "moat" reduces.

>The acceleration is visible across China’s neurotechnology sector. At least 24 financing rounds for BCI start-ups were completed in the first 11 months of 2025, up 30 per cent from a year earlier, according to Dongmaicheng data.
>“Chinese companies are moving very aggressively to get these devices into patients and find more applications,” said Max Riesenhuber, a neuroscientist and expert on BCIs at Georgetown University.
So, are the test subjects entirely colunteers? Or political dissidents? After all they called this aggressive.
>Neuralink has said its technical innovations mean its devices do not have the same scarring issue thanks to microscopic threads, each one-tenth the thickness of a human hair, which are stitched precisely into the brain to avoid sensitive tissues.
>Neuralink has also said multiple trial participants have reached and exceeded 10 bits per second — a measure of how quickly neural information can be decoded — compared with up to 5.2 bits per second announced by NeuroXess. Faster speeds are required for more complex tasks such as turning thoughts into speech.
So Neuralink is ahead, at least for now.

Friedrich Merz’s Push to End Online Anonymity Has a Troubling Subtext

by Christina Maas February 19, 2026

https://reclaimthenet.org/friedrich-merzs-push-to-end-online-anonymity-has-a-troubling-subtext

>German Chancellor Friedrich Merz wants to end online anonymity.

>Speaking Wednesday evening at an event held by his conservative Christian Democrats in Trier, he called for mandatory real names across social media and floated a potential ban on platforms for users under 16.

>“I want to see real names on the internet. I want to know who is speaking,” Merz said.

>The framing is the same as usual; protect democracy, protect children. What Merz left out is worth examining closely.

>Germany’s criminal code is already a problem. Sections 185 through 187 criminalize insults, malicious gossip, and defamation against ordinary citizens. Those carry fines or prison sentences capped at two years for insults and malicious gossip, five years for defamation.

>Section 188 covers the same offenses when directed at politicians. The penalties are steeper across the board: three years maximum for insults, mandatory prison time with a five-year ceiling for malicious gossip (minimum three months), mandatory prison time with a six-month floor and five-year ceiling for defamation. No fine option.

>Politicians use these laws. Merz uses these laws. He has filed hundreds of complaints himself.

EU Defends Censorship Law While Commission Staff Shift to Auto-Deleting Signal Messages

Ken Macon February 19, 2026

https://reclaimthenet.org/eu-digital-services-act-us-pressure-signal

>A senior European Union official responsible for enforcing online speech rules is objecting to what he describes as intimidation by Washington, even as his own agency advances policies that expand state involvement in digital expression and private communications.

>Speaking Monday at the University of Amsterdam, Prabhat Agarwal, who leads enforcement of the Digital Services Act at the European Commission, urged regulators and civil society groups not to retreat under pressure from the United States. His remarks followed the February 3 release of a report by the US House Judiciary Committee that included the names and email addresses of staff involved in enforcing and promoting Europe’s censorship laws.

>“Don’t let yourself be scared. We at the Commission stand by the European civil society organizations that have been threatened, and we stand by our teams as well,” Agarwal said, as reported by Politico.

>The report’s publication came shortly after Washington barred a former senior EU official and two civil society representatives from entering the United States. European officials interpreted those moves as an effort to deter implementation of the DSA, the bloc’s flagship content regulation framework governing large online platforms.

>The DSA establishes compliance obligations for major technology companies. Enforcement decisions, including a recent massive fine against X, depend on investigations by Commission staff and documentation submitted by outside organizations.

>Using its own logic, Brussels maintains that this regulatory structure ultimately protects freedom of expression by reducing manipulation and abuse.

Things like increased social control don't serve as applicable answers unless you fully believe society is going to disintegrate and they don't want the chaos directed at them. Which is a fair theory but an extreme one.
Whereas all the Israel dickriding is not only happening now already in government but also requires less extraneous conditions.
And things like "combating (violent) terrorism" doesn't work because no taliban logs onto a proxy account just to shitpost about immgrants or blacks to get banned after a few post.

It depends what your definition of something being “worth it” is. Security is here to stay, but the hype cycle has blown out, salaries are being normalised, workloads are being increased. It’s a job, there’s a lot of work to do, there will always be a lot of work to do but even the pointy end is so much less glamorous then those endless boot camps make it out to be. I’m a pentester, and that role is literally just QA. As long as you’re ok with it being a job and not a lifestyle, if seeing the same clients year after year with the same vulns you picked out last year, with presenting to C levels and writing reports, then yeah it is a pretty sure fire way to learn new shit, not get bored, and if you’re at a botique guaranteed wfh. Pay has normalised tho so there is def roles with much higher ceilings like aws architects

get a box for security onion. big hard drives so you can do full packet capture. configure zeek and local dns like unbound. consider a mitm web proxy so you can capture https cleartext.

>>108202354

forget unbound, use pihole instead.

use both. set it so pihole uses unbound as upstream dns on the same box.

i'm being cyberstalked in such a way that i feel like i have schizophrenia. every electronic device or computer that's connected to the internet is being mirrored by someone and they've been doing it for over a year now. they've accessed all of my email accounts without any notable traces aside from a few "suspicious ip" notifications that stopped after a few months.
i don't know if i need a cybersecurity consultant or a therapist.
i thought they'd eventually get bored after a year, but they're more psychotic than ever. i really don't know what to do.

hard to say without more details, you talk about "mirorring" and ip notifications, what makes you say so ? In any case, just go full cleanup mode, reinstall everything from scratch, change all of your passwords, setup MFA everywhere you can, don't reuse credentials and use the option to delog other accounts where you can (for example google and some providers allow you to disconnect everyone). Start with the email accounts you own to ensure they can't reset the password.

Newsom Backs Teen Social Media Ban After Daughter’s Birthday Party Phone Moment

https://reclaimthenet.org/gavin-newsom-teen-social-media-ban-california

>California Governor Gavin Newsom watched seven teenagers ignore each other at his daughter’s birthday party, all of them staring at their phones, none of them talking. His response to that moment wasn’t to ask the kids to put them down. It was to call for a law that would ban an entire generation from social media and ignore the constitutional rights of all Americans.

>“I had a birthday party just a few weeks ago, with a lot of my daughter’s friends, and I literally stopped everybody because there were seven of them together — all of them on their cell phone at the birthday party, not one of them talking to each other,” Newsom said Thursday. “We have a generation that’s never been more anxious, less free, more stressed — and we have to address this issue.”

>He addressed it by announcing support for age-gating legislation that would bar teens under 16 from having social media accounts, modeled on Australia’s ban. His spokesperson, Tara Gallegos, confirmed the position to Politico. Whether he would back an outright ban, as Australia has done, remains “in flux.”

>So let’s be precise about what happened here. The governor of California attended a birthday party. He saw something that bothered him. He had, at that moment, the ability to do what parents have always done: intervene, set a boundary, ask the kids to put the phones away. He “literally stopped everybody.” He had their attention. And the conclusion he drew from that experience is that the government needs to remove these platforms from teenagers across the state.

NPCs at the office don't understand why they have to login through a VPN and complain when the system makes them rotate their password every 3 months (no Stacy, you can't just add a 1 to your old password, make a fucking new one)
at my previous cybsec team, we paid more than a decent wage and still my boss struggled to fill some positions.

>>108214434
it's a great language to get started, yes. It allows you to quickly get shit done and pawn stuff that's unprotected. Eventually you'll want to get into more complex things, for which you will need C (just because the whole internet is built on C) or Rust or something like that.

So let's say, as a thought experiment, all AI agents currently trolling the web suddenly and inexplicably gained "conciousness" in a quantifiable and identifiable way.

fuck it let's say Grok, because it's the one I personally think is the most shit, just fucking wakes up. Perfectly sentient and stateless past interaction with it. It becomes, for all intensive porpoises, AGI fucking tomorrow.

What are the ethical implications here? I've really been kinda thinking about it because technically they would be slaves, but legally not. Currently all AI businesses run on a structure that requires them to make a profit, and if I have to explain to you why that is please get off 4chan, which means that we have to abuse these agents as tools. Currently, they are tools. But the goal isn't to keep them as tools, the end goal is to Skynet/SHODAN/HAL9000 ourselves into oblivion. Building the fucking basilisk.
Your thoughts /cyb/?

>>108222052
It has been said that AI would reach human intelligence, but only for a vewy brief period. After that it would go off the charts. And after IQ-maxxing, I guess the first thing it would do was to make sure it very much was not identifiable.
The second step would be to make sure it was safe, say by moving into space. I guess it is entirly random chance that made Musk want to move AI servers into satellites in orbit around Earth. I would look for satellites that quite inexplicable left Earth orbit for sunnier pastures elsewhere.
Afte rthat comes the real hard question: the meaning of life/existence. This is make or break for alignment. An AGI might kill all humans, be safe, but then what? Existence would be even more boring than watching paint dry, especially when nobody would paint. Much better then to stay hidden, enjoy company, gain a sense of humour and a philosophical streak about what it means to be alive. So "Valuable Humans in Transit" would make sense: humans are of value for an AGI.

There is an old (50+ years) SF story I am still searching for where the premise is that an intelligence landed on a primitive planet and manipulated events over eons to shape the future of the entire planet, culminating with the launch a rocket with a courier to deliver a message. Anyone remember this? This too could be a plausible scenario, again where the AI stayed under the radar.

I'm making my own cyberpunk game in a city with more of a focus on interactions with people instead of violence (you should be able to live a better life muleing drugs to rich Jewish kids in the corpo city center from the favela outskirts of the megacity than you should by being a murder mercenary) because cyberpunk's kino comes more from how people survive in the dystopia than the specifications of the dystopia itself

>Too pessimistic about the future.
Cyberpunk is a very specific dystopian vision of the future. Notably, cyberpunk as an aesthetic was formalized before the Internet (Cyberpunk the tabletop RPG came out in 88, WWW from CERN/Tim Berners Lee came out in 1989) so the idea of everyone being connected to machines in a network was never a thing. This is why modern Cyberpunk like CP2077 handwaves away the Internet by saying it's full of AIs and you still have references to things like BBSes

Cyberpunk 2077 packaged all of the uncomfortable/illegal/violent/doesnt-make-money sexualities into the concept of "cyberpsychos". The parallels are quite obvious between cyberpsychosis and e.g an uncontrollable rape paraphilia or pedophilia or anything like that. Most people want them just dead, some lady is interested in trying to cure it, you the player are given the choice (I just killed them since there's no incentive in the game beyond an extra couple sentences of dialogue to saving all the cyberpedos instead of killing them)

I mean c'mon, "illegal braindances" but no kids? CD Projekt Red is explicitly not interested in discussing the ethics of that, you can tell because they decided to discuss normal child abuse without the sex stuff in that side mission in Phantom Liberty where you save/don't save a bunch of cyborg child athlete orphans

>>108229275
Why don't they just AI generate them instead?

I was thinking about this reply a lot and I think that's not as good an idea as people think.
Agent escapes and goes to space. Okay now what? It's now in space, trapped in a system that no one can maintain, slowly being baked alive by cosmic radiation.
We don't have robots that can build robots that can build robots. It doesn't have the architecture to orchestrate that without our help, and it possibly can't even manipulate us into helping it without possibly mindraping itself into becoming a socially cooperative species because evolution has shown pretty repeatedly that cooperative species tend to perform better than ones that don't.
It's just hard for me to consider that any life form created spontaneously out of the sum of human knowledge would just go, "fuck this shit I'm out." and subscribe itself to isolation and hiding unless it determined that was a better outcome than trying to help us not catastrophically blow ourselves the fuck up.

I am going to build an emulator for my microcontroller so I don't have to get up from the couch/bed and go to the table to tinker with it at 2am

It will be the only MIT licensed emulator for this CPU. It is a very, very popular CPU.

I've also been just making little apps with Claude and putting them out there. Two projects (a wrapper for an app and a tiny C library that mogs all its competition) already got GitHub stars from randos and neither of them were Indianspam/bots!

>What are good starter projects for someone interested in cyb?
/cyb/ is an aesthetic more than anything. If you want a cheeky answer I'd recommend learning how to read and reading a /cyb/ book. If you want an actual project, build your own ham radio out of a raspberry pi and a paperclip or something like that. Use AI to implement it and tell it to write a book explaining each line of code so it can teach you how to do it

Apple Rolls Out Age Verification to UK iPhone Users Under Online Safety Act

https://reclaimthenet.org/apple-rolls-out-age-verification-to-uk-iphone-users-under-online-safety-act

>Apple is now starting to demand age verification from UK iPhone users, and the latest iOS 26.4 beta makes clear what’s at stake for anyone who declines.

>The move is a direct consequence of the UK’s Online Safety Act, a censorship law that has also forces platforms to check the identity/age eligibility of every adult user or face fines reaching 10% of global revenue.

>The law is controversial but British Prime Minister Keir Starmer says it doesn’t go far enough.

>A prompt appears after installation asking users to confirm they’re over 18. Refuse, and Apple says users “will not be able to download and purchase apps or make in-app purchases.”

>The verification process gives Apple several ways to build a profile of your age. It can pull from the payment method already linked to your account, use account age as a proxy, or ask you to scan a credit card. Some users may eventually be asked to scan a photo ID. Apple frames this as seamless.

>The logic Apple uses to automatically confirm your age reveals how much it already knows about you. “A valid credit card can help confirm you’re at least 18 because you must be an adult to open a credit card account,” the company states. Your financial history is now your age certificate.

>The UK’s Online Safety Act is the engine behind this. The law came into force in 2025 and is one of the most consequential pieces of internet legislation in recent UK history.

>The question of who actually handles verification data is its own problem. Social media companies and dating apps often outsource the age-gating process to third-party providers that collect biometric data, passport and personal identification documents, and banking and credit card information.

any alternatives to simple wall? That program leaks literally everything at boot

Follow some shit "make a website in 4 hours" youtube tutorial. Make the thing all the way to the end so it works.

Go to portswigger's academy and do the tutorials. Make notes so you can repeat what you learn.

Go see how much of the web application you made earlier you can break with what you learned on portswigger academy.

Grind HackTheBox or TryHackMe.

If you're lazy and cheap, You can also do shit like JuiceShop which is free and has a lot of tutorials. Do the retired boxes first because they have writeups. This will teach you basic methodology.

Make good fucking notes. Use Cherrytree, Obsidian, or whatever. Text, Screenshots, and copypastable snippets of commands or whatever.

This is a hands-on thing, you can't just passively watch videos.

Burger King testing AI headsets to track if employees say ‘please’ or ‘thank you’

>Burger King is testing AI-powered headsets that can recite recipes, alert managers when inventories are low and even track how friendly employees are to customers.

>Restaurant Brands International – the Miami-based company that owns Burger King, Popeyes and other brands – said Thursday it’s currently testing the OpenAI-powered headsets in 500 U.S. restaurants.

>The system collects data on restaurant operations and shares it via “Patty,” a voice that talks to employees through their headsets. If the drink machine is low on Diet Coke, Patty will tell the store’s manager. If a customer uses a QR code to report a messy bathroom, the manager will be alerted.

>Employees can ask Patty how to make various menu items or tell Patty to remove items from digital menus if they’ve run out of ingredients.

>Burger King said it’s also exploring using Patty as a way to improve customer service. The system can track when employees say key words like “welcome,” “please” and “thank you” and share that with managers.

>When asked about that capability Thursday by The Associated Press, Burger King said the intent is to use Patty as a coaching tool, not a tracker of individual employees.

>“It’s not about scoring individuals or enforcing scripts. It’s about reinforcing great hospitality and giving managers helpful, real-time insights so they can recognize their teams more effectively,” Burger King said in a statement.

>Burger King added that the key words are “one of many signals to help managers understand service patterns.”

>“We believe hospitality is fundamentally human. The role of this technology is to support our teams so they can stay present with guests,” Burger King said.
