  • These responses closely mirrored examples of the false claim from pro-China sources, which alleged that Taiwan’s Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) was suppressing opposition voters by deliberately withholding voter notifications.

    There’s two things at play here. First, all models being released these days have safety built into the training. In the West, we might focus on preventing people from harming others or hacking, and in China, they’re preventing people from getting politically supportive of China. But in a way, we are all “exporting” our propaganda.

    Second, as called out in the article, these responses are clearly based on the training data. That is where the misinformation starts, and you can’t “fix” the problem without first fixing that data.













  • From what I understand, xorg has fundamental security flaws. How will they remedy this?

    They won’t. Don’t download random shit and if you’re worried, run it in Flatpak

    What happens when the Linux kernel drops support for xorg? Do they intend to fork an older version of the kernel in order to keep support?

    Not really possible, since X11 is only built on top of the kernel’s graphical interface (same as Wayland). Even if that wasn’t the case, the kernel doesn’t delete any code that anybody uses (that’s why 30 year old programs still run)
