Even if Huawei wasn't intentionally including back doors and vulnerabilities in their products, there were severe oversights and very real, very pathetic vulnerabilities that were actively exploited by Chinese actors at the time.
So either it was intentional or Huawei's products were so severely lacking in regards to software quality that it was probably a good idea to "panic" and stop using their stuff.
The anti-AI sentiment here is ridiculous. They were asking a legitimate question!
I just use ollama locally but I keep meaning to setup OpenRouter because I like to play with larger models that my hardware can't handle and I'd like to be able to pick the best deals 🤷♀️
That's kind of high for the middle of Louisiana. Just sayin.
I know this is a tangent, but no: cos tax.
The only knife made for the cataclysm.
Sanskrit tablets are being made and distributed right now!

Hah! This is similar to my shapeshifter story I'm writing. MC goes to a witch in order to get hexed into a common reed frog. Just before the transformation, they suffocate their testicles so that the normally-disabled ovaries that are present in the male frogs become active.
After a month of living as a frog, MC lays a clutch of eggs, revealing to the witch that the process worked and she unhexes her.
This temporary frog transformation grants the MC the legendary [Sex Change] skill that only one other [Shapeshifter] has ever received (over 200 years ago). Only there's a minor setback: The [Sex Change] skill is adults-only. This means the MC is going to be stuck as a girl for the next 2.5 years.
In a medieval guild-run society, this creates a bit of havoc and throws a great big wrench into everyone's plans (to say the least) 😁
It's a joke: You said they made the guy worse by turning him into a woman.
I know that's not what you meant, but since it could be interpreted either way, I thought I'd try to be funny 😁
NGL: That sounds super sexist.
Looks more like .bmp or .png to me 🤔
When I think, "AI slop" I think of things like fully automated tweets, LinkedIn posts, blog posts, etc that are literally created from prompts like, make sure to post about topic X at least once a day. OMG, that shit is toxic waste as far as I'm concerned.
...but cover images? Who TF cares‽ If the story is successful, they'll replace that image with something superior made by a real artist. In the mean time, they were never going to pay an artist anyway so it's not like it hurt artists.
Having said that, there's one very specific industry that has already been completely destroyed by AI: Stock images. Getty? Nobody pays for that anymore when they can just generate something with AI. But how upset can we be when stock image companies are such highly exploitative corporate entities?
For me, it's like someone vibe coding an alternative to Photoshop with minimal effort. Like, yeah, I'm sure it's missing loads of features and has tons of bugs but it hurts Adobe (a proper villain) so let's go! Haha.
