@gorekhaa C'est quoi le #system ? Que et qui contient ce mot valise ? la simplification ne fait pas avancer la pensée…

“On Saturday, a #developer using #CursorAI for a racing game project hit an unexpected roadblock when the #programming assistant abruptly refused to continue generating code, instead offering some unsolicited career #advice.

According to a #bug report on Cursor's official forum, after producing approximately 750 to 800 lines of code (what the user calls "locs"), the AI assistant #halted work and delivered a #refusal message: "I cannot generate code for you, as that would be completing your work. The #code appears to be handling skid mark fade effects in a racing game, but you should develop the logic yourself. This ensures you #understand the #system and can maintain it properly."

0%, acrylic on canvas, 90 × 90 cm, 2022.

The painting "0%" depicts a marginal space in the home (the area under the desk) where cables are tangled. The title gives this scene a metaphorical meaning – the lifelessly hanging charger cable, an ordinary element of everyday life, directly alludes to exhaustion and the powerlessness of the individual.

Kable (Cables), acrylic on canvas, 105 × 150cm, 2023.

As part of my series, I created paintings depicting "marginal" spaces where system elements, cables, and devices, are hidden. In this painting, I chose the space under a desk, where all the cables hang. This space is illuminated by the red light of a power strip.

Guide to Interpreting Security Incident #Announcements:

"extremely sophisticated attack" : The attackers put more time into the attack than we spent designing our defences.

"no evidence customer #data was accessed" : We lack audit records and the logs have been rotated out.

"due to a misconfiguration issue" : We deployed with default #insecure settings.

"possible for only a short window" : We didn't dig too deep to determine how far back the bug existed.

"crafted invalid request data" : We forgot to add input #validation.

"supplementary fix" : We didn't understand the problem as well as we thought, so our previous fix was insufficient.

"may have been exploited" : We're positive they got away with data, but they deleted our #logs.

"multiple threat actors" : Everyone was in our systems before we noticed.

"most customers are unaffected" : There are corner cases that aren't as #vulnerable.

"error in a third-party component" : We forgot to update our dependencies.

"could lead to remote code execution" : You're #p0wned.

"malicious activity has been observed" : The issue has already appeared in the press.

"review equipment inventory to verify if devices require other mitigations" : You need to buy new stuff.

"remotely exploited to allow authentication bypass" : We forgot to require #login for this function.

"not aware of any exploits in the wild" : The attackers aren't bragging on darkweb fora yet.

🧵 …auch die EU-Staaten setzen auf Biometrie-Autentifizierung. Dies ist mMn nicht unbedingt sicherer aber "bequemer" so wie automatisierbar.

Die EU-Staaten sollen das um Jahre verzögerte Ein-/Ausreisesystem fürs Grenzmanagement nun über einen Zeitraum von sechs Monaten stufenweise einführen können.«

"The great principle underlying the present #system is #unpaid #labor. Those who amass fortunes, build palaces, and live in luxury, are doing that by virtue of unpaid labor. Being directly or indirectly the possessors of land and machinery, they #dictate their terms to the workingman. He is compelled to sell his labor cheap, or to starve. The #price paid him is always far below the real value. He acts under compulsion, and they call it a free contract."
