Large gains were due to scaling the hardware, and data. The training algorithms didn’t change much, transformers allowed for higher parallelization. There are no signs of the process becoming self-improving. Agentic performance is horrible as you can see with Claude (15% of tasks successful).

What happens in the brain is a big mystery, and thus it cannot be mimicked. Biological neural networks do not exist, because the synaptic cleft is an artifact. The living neurons are round, and the axons are the result of dehydration with ethanol or xylene.

S7 will be retired or extended with access control. TOTP apps don’t work for edge cases like broken phone. Dedicated token devices get lost. SMS will continue being the main solution for 2FA.

Watch the video again to see how hard it was for Derrick to get access. He got it via his telecom/academia researcher contact.

Proton is already used for identity management: OTP via email. They’ll implement OAuth if there’s enough demand for it. A company’s purpose is to be profitable, ethics side is largely irrelevant.

Many countries already have digital government ID: Australia, Estonia, Russia.

Simply paying is not sufficient. You need to be a telecom company, or a researcher afaik.

In what world would the US gov care to get into your bank account? Or your Facebook account when it’s already tightly controlled?

What about people who only have one device? Kids, elderly, people with only work computer.

Good, because it’s not of interest.

Even better for your career is being an actual researcher with a good grasp on heap grooming, MAC circumvention instead of spreading FUD over something that can easily be detected with burp.

Pedantic types always mention that secure is only relevant in the context of a particular threat model. The elderly can use hardware authentication like those RSA devices or ubikey. Unfortunately, this is expensive, and banks don’t believe there’s demand for that. Would you switch banks for this feature?

Proton gives data to governments if requested. Why are you trying to shill it?

With current kWh/token it’s 100x of a regular google search query. That’s where the environmental meme came from. Also, Nvidia plans to manufacture enough chips to require global electricity production to increase by 20-30%.
