Hosky Blames Communism for AI making mistakes on ethnicity. 🤦🏿

Hes's such a brainwashed libertarian that he constantly conflates neoliberalism with communism.

I love the tech, but this dude can be incredibly intellectually dishonest when it comes to politics. Google has NOTHING to do with COMMUNISM in any form. Most modern Marxists are against cancel culture and woke ideology but Charles wouldn't know that because he hasn't read Marx and he certainly only consumes political literature that he knows he will already agree with. Oh well. At least the tech has no politics in this space

Binance Code and Internal Passwords Exposed on GitHub for Months

Comment

I hope nobody loses their shirt over this.

Summary

• Sensitive data exposed: Internal code, infrastructure diagrams, passwords, and other technical information were publicly accessible on GitHub for months.
• Source unclear: Unclear if an outside hacker or Binance employee accidentally uploaded the data.
• Potential risk: Information could be used by attackers to compromise Binance systems, though Binance claims "negligible risk".
• Data details: Included code related to passwords and multi-factor authentication, diagrams of internal infrastructure, and apparent production system passwords.
• Binance response: Initially downplayed the leak, later acknowledged data was theirs but downplayed risk.
• Current status: Data removed from GitHub via copyright takedown request.
• Unclear if any malicious actors accessed the data.

Charles elaborates on the state of decentralized twitter and verified tweets.

I’ve been thinking lately about the concept of the fediverse and repurposing it toward the goal of creating a free and open, decentralized, federated network of vendors that run instances or groups of vendors that run one instance together. These instances would broadcast inventory updates to each node that they federate with. It would start off niche and gain traction that way before branching out into other retail types.

Is this a feasible idea? Has any pulled this off? Wayfair, Amazon, Shopify, and Etsy are already suffering from enshittification. Someone needs to take the inventory out of the walled gardens and back into the customer’s hands. I shouldn’t have to rely on Google to find products I want. There are vendors that want to sell me stuff nearby…it’s just a problem of connecting the user to the content..and this seems like a no-brainer.

I’d love to have a discussion about this. I am seriously considering creating a rolling fork of Lemmy that would maintain parity but also add this functionality but I want to talk to experts and weigh the pros and cons before embarking on such an ambitious project.

edit: I also started a community ( https://infosec.pub/c/federated_inventory ) dedicated to the discussion of this idea. I'm trying to get vendors in a budding local industry to fund the creation of this system, which would branch out into all retail industries eventually along with the network effect.
