Notice a few red flags. 1) they were contacted before the system was rolled out. Before anyone else could look for bugs 2) it is reported by techcrunch and is trending tech news 3) the exploits are rudimentary 90s era mistakes that even LLMs don’t make these days

So it’s likely that they paid McDonald’s India to pretend to have horrible practices. $240 is another tactic to appear good and trustworthy. That brings traffic to their blue team company site, effective advertising. Standard fakery that security faggots utilize to spread the FUD to create demand for their services.

Let me guess, you signed an NDA, and won’t tell anyone which brands had badly configured access control in their web apps?

Each red flag is okay, but all together is rather strange. It’s kinda classic to say that pajeets write shitty code.

Is it more effective than feeding them via TikTok, Twitter, Instagram?

Because writing web apps is boring as fuck, and evaluating switching provides a reason to stop coding in PHP, and write an article about how they still need to write PHP.

LLMs are not programmed in a traditional way. The actual code is quite small. It mostly runs backprop, filters the data. It is already easily generated by LLMs.

It’s so much easier to quit social media when you’re on meth.

AGI or human level intelligence has a hardware problem. Fabs are not going to be autonomous within 20 years. Novel lithography and cleaning methods are difficult for large groups of humans. LLMs do not provide much assistance in semiconductor design. We are not even remotely close to manufacturing the infrastructure necessary to run human level intelligence software.

Not true. SMS is encrypted in 3G, LTE, 5G. Block cyphers like Kasumi and A/9 are used. SMS is reasonably secure, because it’s hard to infiltrate telecom systems like S7
