Every security update will lead to a spike in n-day exploits in the wild because models are good at reverse engineering.

Their words

We also have to contend with the fact that these models are amazing at reverse engineering. This means that every security update will now always lead to a spike in n-day exploits in the wild.

AI model escapes are more a result of incompetent containment than rogue intelligence.

HuggingFace

Their words

the escapes are real. They are also basically the palm tree scene all over again. The models behaved like drunk pirates. They were loud: Hugging Face reconstructed roughly 17,600 actions over four and a half days, one every twenty seconds, in view of the cameras.

Stablecoin transactions have the potential to be highly traceable.

cryptography

Their words

Unlike the opaque world of correspondent banking and the eurodollar market, stablecoin transactions have the potential to be highly traceable, whether because transactions are recorded on public blockchains or because of cryptographic technology like ZK.

Dollar-backed stablecoins may reinforce U.S. dollar hegemony.

America

Their words

For the United States specifically, dollar-backed stablecoins-which constitute almost the entirety of the market today-may actually reinforce U.S. dollar hegemony, extending the reach of the dollar into previously inaccessible corners of the global economy and bringing more activity under the purview of U.S. regulators and law enforcement.

Neither leadership nor command is inherently better than the other.

Their words

Furthermore, neither way is better than the other. Both may work or fail in different contexts and at different times. There are times for leadership, and there are times for command.

Any framework distinguishing leaders from commanders by the actions they take is wrong.

Their words

Any framework using the model "Leaders do 'A,' while commanders do 'B,'" is wrong. If they are any good, both leaders and commanders will do the exact same things: the right ones.

An easy-to-use, secure-by-default secret distribution mechanism is what developers and ops need to solve the secrets management problem once and for all.

Their words

Having an easy-to-use, secure-by-default secret distribution mechanism is exactly what developers and ops need to solve the secrets management problem once and for all.

Storing secrets in environment variables is a bad practice that will lead to the eventual leak of secrets.

Their words

Overall, secrets in ENV variables break the principle of least surprise, are a bad practice, and will lead to the eventual leak of secrets.

What is a korrent?

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at korrents.com.

Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said. The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who else holds it.

Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post

Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.

The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.

Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
