Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of September 8th
  • Started playing Star Trucker - it's pretty interesting, reminds me a lot of the cargo hauling loop in Star Citizen. The differece is that this doesn't crash anywhere near as much, runs on my Steam Deck, and boots a lot quicker too.

  • After a week of far-right rioting fuelled by online misinformation, the British government is to change the school curriculum so English schoolchildren are taught critical thinking skills to tackle it
  • Woke is an adjective derived from African-American Vernacular English originally meaning alertness to racial prejudice and discrimination.

    Yes it's woke. Yes that's good. I'll never shy away from calling out the right's ridiculous demonisation of anti-racism...


    Edit: Also yea, I bet Nigel Farage or some other Reform fool is already yelling into the void about this.

  • Introducing Apple Intelligence for iPhone, iPad, and Mac
  • Good example, I hope confirmation will be crucial and hopefully required before actions like this are taken by the device. Additionally I hope the prompt is phrased securely to make clear during parsing that the website text is not a user request. I imagine further research will highlight more robust prompting methods to combat this, though I suspect it will always be a consideration.

  • Introducing Apple Intelligence for iPhone, iPad, and Mac
  • Given that personal sensitive data doesn’t leave a device except when authorised, a bad actor would need to access a target’s device or somehow identify and compromise the specific specially hardened Apple silicon server, which likely does not have any of the target’s data since it isn’t retained after computing a given request.

    Accessing someone’s device leads to greater threats than prompt injection. Identifying and accessing a hardened custom server at the exact time data is processed is exceptionally difficult as a request. Outside of novel exploits of a user’s device during remote server usage, I suspect this is a pretty secure system.

  • Honestly it is great that Star Wars has such variety! I never used to like it all, but finding head canon and leniency has helped a lot to enjoy the more disagreeable parts (think episode 9).

    But yes you’d be right, since I will never like the holiday special, nor allow myself to see more than a YouTube video about it 👀

    I’m glad this is here. It’s reassuring to see people calling this report out for what it is. And with linked evidence to back up the criticism too.
