  • The concern is that even encrypted communicatons, intercepted via the heavily Chinese-tapped US telecommunications company networks, can be used to gain access to other systems. Unencrypted data, sure, that’s a legit concern. China can likely read every SMS sent to any US phone number and no one seems to care at all. Things like downgrade attacks, other man-in-the-middle attacks, and skimming SMS 2FA codes are likely possible with poorly defended systems.

    If the data it’s encrypted, then it’s more about the paranoia that China is collecting everything and planning to decrypt later with quantum processors. Not exactly a huge and urgent worry, but one day they will crack how to decrypt what they collect and will have a record of everything said online.




  • All the errors you know about in the nuclear power industry are human-caused.

    Is this an industry with a 100% successful operation rate? Not at all.

    But have you ever heard of a piece of paperwork with an error submitted to regulatory officials and lawyers outside the plant causing a critical issue inside the plant? I sure haven’t. Please feel free to let me know if you are aware of such an incident.

    I would encourage you to learn more about how LLM and SLM structures work. This article is more of a nothingburger superlative clickbait IMO. To me, at least it appears to be airgapped if it’s running locally, which is nice.

    I would bet money that this will be entirely managed by the most junior compliance person who is not 120 years old, with more senior folks cross checking it with more suspicion than they would a new hire.
