a16z funds 1000+ strong phone farm and uses it for mass manufacturing tiktok ai influencers, security turns out to be not good enough https://www.404media.co/hack-reveals-the-a16z-backed-phone-farm-flooding-tiktok-with-ai-influencers/

the usecase is spam:

The hacker also shared a list with me of more than 400 TikTok accounts Doublespeed operates. Around 200 of those were actively promoting products on TikTok, mostly without disclosing the posts were ads, according to 404 Media’s review of them. It’s not clear if the other 200 accounts ever promoted products or were being “warmed up,” as Doublespeed describes the process of making the accounts appear authentic before it starts promoting in order to avoid a ban. 

I’ve seen TikTok accounts operated by Doublespeed promote language learning apps, dating apps, a Bible app, supplements, and a massager.

When, not if, element crashes (android or webapp or desktop, all do that), you get logged out and in order to access encrypted groups (dms are encrypted groups with 2 members) you need recovery key, or room keys (you can export them). If you have exchanged keys in person, then the first one recovers it too, the second doesn't

Matrix lacks some of discord features, but the point is encryption it provides

I get the same thing but within EU only for 30 PLN per month, on prepaid (7,3€/mo)

You can find cables (and some other things but mostly cables) made by them in about every electronics store

at least he didn't say he "fell on it" and it was totally an accident

CS and advanced statistics is what lots of applied math is anyway

does DSP count as maths, because there's plenty of that in radar design. or any other sensor with some double-use potential for that matter

Matrix is different and does different things, also you have to keep your security key written down and nobody's gonna help you if you get locked out of your account without it

in this economy?

this is name for wearer, nor the device

i would say "backups" but these kind of people don't do backups. either way nothing of value was lost

it shows up only when logged out
