> Saying a lawsuit hasn't caught it yet won't persuade many skeptics.

It wasn't a factual argument to begin with, wholly based on vibes and fear of Other


I swear people say this with every single model and release version, without fail.

30% in the US.

> Lobsters

Invite only, very exclusionary. Private club with public posting? Worst of both worlds.


Autofill of password manager creds is an attack vector.

Passkeys and email links prevent things like: clipboard interception, malicious iframes, fake login UIs, etc.


> auto-populated

Auto population of login credentials including 2FA is currently an attack vector.

"A critical security flaw has been uncovered in the autofill functionality of nearly every major password manager. This vulnerability allows threat actors to stealthily harvest user credentials and sensitive financial data from deceptive web forms without user interaction, turning a core convenience feature into a potent weapon for cybercrime."

You have missed a LOT then. We do HORRIBLE things all the time.


That the government also does other horrible things does not negate the argument. I am not sure why you would bother saying that. This one is literally a war crime.

> This one is literally a war crime.

It takes force to prosecute war crimes.


"The internet is super duper extra dead."

I get unreasonably angry when I read this statement, or similar ones.

If you mean "portions of the web I go to or my email inbox", you may be right.

But for the rest of us that hang out in one or multiple private spaces, sometimes with connections between them, the internet is better connected and easier to find people, groups, information, and interests than ever before.


Insurance Companies won't let that happen.

Tons.

A lot of US ISPs have no ipv6 configured.

(There are roughly 3,000 different ISPs in the US.)
