where in the uk are you from sweet?
oh so you know the queen?
She’s dead
did you kill her??
She died of old age
of course she did
I have absolutely zero interest in royalty just to make that clear.
I really couldn’t give two shits
😂
That’s not even ours, I think we stole that from china
hello what is the best course to learn fundamental sql
like everything else
shame we cant see them tonight, its stormy here 😦
try coursera
Oh maybe we did then lol
its confusing learning cmd and bash at the same time
Time to sleep
good luck manifesting your biz
Dayum
Lol I taught the same thing
still wondering how that scene was filmed
What do you mean scene. He lives there
😂
I slip through sometimes for my afternoon tea
Remember those old clown pranks ?
They were all covered with blood lol
They were scaring ppl
so shadow that one time they messed up their summer get away at the butchers???
blood is a mess to get out of cloth
Yes when London had a clown problem
And then I dated them all
Yes just put the clothes in the bin
It too much hassle to get blood out
it was not to great to get out of face and hair too for that matter
basically tipped over into a bucket of blood
Huh? 🤔
A whole bucket 🫣
What a mess that would have been
well yeah a very big bucket.... because we had to keep the blood for sale
Was it for work?
it was fresh so that was at least nice that it was not partly coagulated to much at the point
What kind of blood are they selling at the butchers
yeah more or less... had a deal with said farms and butchers that if shadow helped out for the summer they got a years supply of meat
Is it pigs blood
in sweden it is mostly pigs blood for black pudding or pig palt
Ahh I see
A hole year, damn
Black pudding is alright
yeah it was nice
in current economy that is probably not happening again
A years worth of meat, imagine
well a decent bit of butchers lets you buy half a side of cow or pig...
so if you got a large top loaded freezer you can freeze that and make decent food for a long time
also cheaper that way then storebought cuts
I used to have a freezer chest
I could have fit inside
yeah shadow has 2 large freezer chest/top loaded freezers that shadow could easily sit on the inside of
yeah making loads of home cooked food and freezing is also a good idea
i used to do it in uni
I just have a small integrated freezer now
yeah you could prob do a months worth at a time in a weekend
not only is it cost saving but generally healthier since we tend to eat crap food when we are lazy and nothing in the fridge
No
I recently started studying cybersecurity through TryHackMe, and I'm unsure whether I should follow the standard free roadmap or the one suggested in this link: https://tryhackme.com/resources/blog/free_path.
lol
You about to be sorry ya spanner
Anyways
I’m gonna study soon
Do some more research
what have u done so far
Nice gj
I don’t want to ever be famous lol
I want to be silently successful in a corner somewhere
except that's wrong cause ill shoot you on sight
😆
Fr imagine going out peacefully with your family then people come to take a * picture * with you
Pure talent
If I continue to use ai daily, I might become this lazy
who needs ladders
That’s skill, not talent
Drone
it's also wrong because it doesn't take 45 min to extract
What you mean?
Ya. I don’t like it.
amount of broken lightbulbs == 42
u can extract as soon as you find an extract?
amount of non broken lightbulbs == 1
Yes, the things is that when a party start it have 45 minutes till everyone die
and time to hit the hay.... see you all laters
You’re going to the sleep sloop? 
wait, this isn't even EFT
see muiri shadow can be normal with their sleep messages :P
Yeah Ngl it felt weird though because it wasn’t your normal
I want the old sleep message
HELL NO
Eerm wth is EFT
Give me da beep boops!
Yes agreed

Oooh
I want the sleep sloops
You mean tarkov?
yah your playing a weak knockoff
It isn’t weak
Is this on pc?
yah who plays on console
vr has a delay it isn't playable
And you can look on gameplay, it’s still awesome
makes u nauseous
time?
I don’t
"You work in IT, right?"
1 laptop installing Kali
1 laptop chatting in discord
1 desktop has powershell open for SSH
1 screen connected to Rasp PI to modify files
Nope.... totally not
3k followers, dead game
You can easily get rid ofMotion sickness with playing regularly
Well yea it’s on vr what did you think
yah cause vr is trash
Alright as you want lol
I used to turn off school’s projector lol
But after considerations and self retrospection, I stopped
You just reminded me on something else I wanted to look into
Jamming?
any computer geeks here?
is buying a refurbed laptop ok?
from a reputable store
check the battery and the paste to make the motherboard cool I forgot the name otherwise it should be alright
I see a guy on TikTok just switching off screens and shit
I’m not an expert tho, it’s just what I know with owning a laptop
It is very cool, I had fun learning it. But it can become easily illegal lol
Talking about rf hijacking
thanks
Gave +1 Rep to @atomic atlas (current: #559 - 11)
im looking at this
the cpu not the motherboard ☠️
My brain is fucking fried
Was it with his phone or with a esp?
Unfry it
If I remember correctly an esp
Oh
Teach me senpai
I know that device
😂
Let me search for it
It's 2am and idk what to study and on top of that it's that small existential crisis of what I'll study in uni (cause that directly changes what I should focus on now)
Ugh let's not vent
It's just fried
I have baccalaureate tomorrow
And I’m still chill
So yeah lmao
No go on, let it out
Damn
I think I should
ItMs called esp32 marauder @rapid merlin . That’s for a * high quality build *
But generally you can do same for cheaper
If you have to wait before you know what to pick just study general knowledge topics
It's just idfk if I should go for cyber or physics, I think I love cyber a lot fucking more but it's still a hard decision for a 17 yo
And it's late and my brain just isn't clicking for some exercises
Wait u r a woman?
Her pfp lol
Do like me then. Cyber is one of my side hustle
Eeerm, maybe ask ai questions to know what fit you best
Cyber is more fun for your age group because it involves risk
Risk is dopamine to you
Do cyber lol
I’m gender blind so idk wat gender it is
Brother I'm not 14 💀
I'm talking about career paths 💀
What’s that
Excuse me 😭
lol
Anyway peace
?
do the hardest path imo physics with cybersecurity certs and projects is better than full cybersecurity I had the same problem
Yeah decent point
Bye. Do both in my opinion
I just used ikigai and find out the best one for me is a developer, and that’s what I will do😂 @half badge
Take physics and cyber and make a quantum computer lol
Seatch for ikigai in the net
It's just the way my future courses are is if I go electrical engineering, you can study physics and networking to go to cyber. But not the other way around
What’s genderblind
if you hesitate between teo things just pick the hardest so you have bo regrets haha two get through it 💪
exactlyyy
True ig
What the heck is genderblind
That’s not even a gender bruh

It’s like when u assume genders and accidentally assume people as a wrong gender
it’s so easy to study cybersecurity outside of school and it’s recognised too so that’s a no brainer imo
Oh ok
you can’t tell people you’ve built a rocket in your garden hence you know physics
I started learning when I was like 8. Maybe was even less
how many years have you been into cyber ? Approximately if you don’t wanna say your age
Guess my age and then I’ll tell
Mit students build rockets
18?
haha true
The fact no one noticed my pronouns were changed to mad/lad too and no one noticed
but you can do whatever you want when you’re in a top school
I’m gonna be 16 in less than a month
I noticed and that’s why I got confused
Wait I didn’t English that properly
I noticed but don’t know you so I thought it was normal haha
Why would we check your profile?
so you got more exp than most people in here 🔥
My experience in cyber is like atleast 8 years
They noticed that’s why they said Women 😮
Understandable
that’s alot already
Yes sir
Mad/lad is a British joke
Hi I’m a man. Don’t assume my gender
I just knew it cause of ur old profile picture
are you the one that lost her account a few months ago and had to create a new one ?
Bad joke
Teeheee 
because of 2fa
I lose an account every week
haha maybe that was you then
….
your account had miss in it iirc
I don’t know this
It was miss stealth
yeaaaaaa
2 months ago, I used to lose atleast 5 accounts per day
you’re farming atp
Fr
Some of my haters were targeting me
So I lost many accounts
I collect haters like Pokemon
how can you get hacked 5 times a day bro 😭
And stalkers
I collected bans like Pokemon
I’ve only ever been banned once
In my life
😂
Dw those haters r skids. They just used dc to falsely ban me
My other name is “ban man”
ban man dan
Wsp X man
wsp dan
I don’t fear man who got banned once for many reasons, I fear man who got banned many times for one reason
Nth much. Wbu
chillin
I clocked them yesterday
That’s like studying 25 books for one year, vs studying one book for 25 years
My false ban reason was “child endangerment”.
Stuff I said that got me banned was like “k” “bye” etc💀
Lmao
So it was basically false ban
What da fak
That’s so random
I’ve had warnings before in video games
Ikr
But never banned
Dang
It’s really funny when they send you back what you wrote
I’m talking about dc btw
Dang
I only got banned once in my life, it was a discord server about gym
Oh btw
I ain’t never crossed a man that didn’t deserve it
I have lost many dc accounts
What, how
Few were made in like 2015, 2016
I’m very disappointed that no one clocked that song lyric.
Which
|| Sent videos of a hated historical figure
|| (without context)
…
No it isn’t him
Is he the painter?
I know who you are thinking of
Oooh
Haha. Yh the painter vids r bannable
Oh
I view the song cause I was serious.
It was shit and immediately quit
Do you have ur terminal in white color?
Aw man😔
Lmao
Imagine it’s white and green💀
I’m on my phone
Aaaah! i can feel it
I wanna throw up
Waiting
White with pink
Someone say yes.
Guys should i be worried about guy i reported for doxxing cuz like what if he would go after me ??? Idk it was my first time reporting smth like that
🤷♂️
U and I did
Did u report his dc?
Black is the best color
He’s shifting blame fast
In ur head
No one can’t say smth differently
He’s gaslighting you to believing you was always here
Blue💀
No not yet
You’re going to the purgatory for that
I can't be gaslit.
Wat did u report then?
Black
Mhm
Dark color
Fact
I’m bored
Get a tattoo
Can’t. In a road trip rn
Ohhhh
Prison style
🔥
I reported him to server owners on discord i reported them now to discord
It’s gonna poison your blood
leaves discord to go look at rami malek
Hmm. Well here’s the thing. If that person knows that u reported him, they might ur might not go after u
Or worse
Then how could i protect myself im still learning cybersecurity i dont know stuff
U want beginner guide?
U can protect urself by telling the police if that person that smth bad
Alr thanks

Hello guys
What about your phone penetration?
oh
Over here installing Kali bare metal, KDE Plasma desktop, full disk encryption, separate partitions for /var and such, and BTRFS file system..
Why? BECAUSE WHY THE HELL NOT?!
Real.
God I got so much paperwork today
Someone send help 😭
Who decided to put me as 2IC for me team 😭
feels bad
Didn't do the full install, but whatever. Still nice to have a laptop i can really call mine with my system.
Moved to Linux?
Nope. Still run Windows 10 and 11. This is my bare metal kali laptop
Got another laptop i could run Qubes and shit on...
Before y'all ask, both my kali, and the other laptop were free, from my old job
Nice
Had another laptop, that WAS arch, had to give that up to my mother... sadge
F
Yah, that was free too lol
I'll eventually buy a better laptop
That other laptop was my kinda, "air gapped" system, no drive, no wifi card, just live boot and test crap
(Not the one given up, this "air gapped" laptop is still mine)
Never really used laptops untill this year
i fell for that
me last night 😆
Theres one with some chonky fly
Hey guys, I’m new on this server, and I am also new in this cyber security world, I have just started the free learning path on THM, so far enjoying it a lot, my plan is transitioning into this industry and land a job. Any advice on what else I can do or learn, or any other certificates I should take ? I’m based in Australia, I’ll appreciate every tip or piece of advice to help me on my journey 😃🤙🏻
You think kangaroos are their biggest problem
That gif 😅
I was on the phone to someone but they fell asleep
Must be so tired
Me too
We fear only the Emu and the politician.
But our weapons are better now so no longer the Emu.
And the New Castle Big boy!
australian?
Let's gooooo. Got my driver installed, now my Alfa Awus1900 is haps!
Kali before did not like my 1900 at all. Absolutely hated it. I had to bring it down, put it into monitor mode manually for sparrow or airmon-ng to even get data. Now, it's just happily switches to monitor
😅😅
dam that windows powershell room took longer than expected
but i "successfully navigated the treacherous waters of PowerShell, uncovering hidden treasures and elusive services aboard TheBlackPearl."
Hello let me ask at the same price range which is better tuf gaming or lenovo gaming laptop?
idk dude im also looking for a new laptop with high specs but maybe refurbed for gaming and cyber projects etc
im sick of using mac
I'm also using a macbook, I want to switch to a gaming laptop and install an imac and mac mini
If you learn programming but not coding apps web or anything for apple then you should not buy mac
I am also very upset about it because it is limited in so many things
yeah i might trade mine
if i had money i would buy a ROG Flow
looks good
i was also looking at system76 oryx pro
there are so many choices lol
windows is a pain in the ass
destroy a child's childhood ☠️
later that child will have 20 years of experience when he is 20 years old 🗿
Can anyone help me
Potentially. What do you need help with?
I remember that I deleted my tryhackme account a year ago
Nai I have an account with 11 rooms completed, with 3 badges and 445k rank
And it also shows that I haven't created any room
And again it shows that I have rocked in 2023 by completing 396 events
Unfortunately an account deletion is permanent. States so in the account settings directly above the button you click for it, so if you deleted the account, you tossed it with no way of getting it back again.
Did i delete my account or is there any option of resetting all my rooms and Badges?
I'm not here for that account, I'm just confused
I don't particularly see any way of deleting progress, so I imagine if you're debating on the two possibilities, you've got about a 90% on the Deletion of Account side of it.
Aaah I cant share the pic here , is there any channel where I can share a screenshot
Just Verify Yourself and you can send a screenshot
Ok, that should help
Use the /verify and paste your discord id given by TryHackMe
It's a shame being here for a long time and not getting verified lol

Verification associates to an account, so if you deleted your account, any verification would go with it, I imagine.
Didn't get you
I see
Now how can I get verified?
You'll need to make an account, and run through the verification process.
It's in the Account Details section of your profile settings.
@slow cloud to his grandchildren
All about TryHackMe Discord Server.
Here you go
"Back in my day..."


Done thankyou guys
Your profile is good liked the one piece theme
Thanks 
Gave +1 Rep to @arctic gyro (current: #2898 - 1)
What is this
+1 Rep
If someone says thanks or sth it'll pop up
Looks like you've got activity right there. I'd say that probably wouldn't be there if you deleted the account.
What's your username I can add you friend on TryHackMe
Yea I got confused there
It's Aksam
Yeah, looks like you're good. Thankfully you didn't delete anything.
Bro if I didn't delete anything, where is my rank and Badges go?
It's not
I remember deleting my account but creating another account with the same mail id brings back the yearly activity ig
I don't know, on that one.

Ok no need to tell the username
What's your name?
cipherdluffy
What's your real one
It's a secret
Ok Aksam
Lol it's weird right
Not the real name your real username
I sent a friend request
Ok
It's Aksam bro 
At the very least, I guess you've got the opportunity to start more fresh now that THM's made some big changes.
And why there are indians in the leaderboard like everyone 
That sounds great
@crystal moss How'd your team go in HackOSINT
Mo fresh
Is mo betta
Is there any option for checking the monthly leaderboard ranking? Like from 2-3 years?
How can I get the tag CYBR?
Doesn't look like it. More monthly of current month rather than anything.
honestly i think i would lock myself in my room after reading the official write up at how obvious some of them are
Ummm see
Sooo can I create a room now or do I have to wait until I complete some rooms or is there any special task that I have to complete to create a room?
Like a THM room, you're talking about?
Yea ofcourse bro
Ask the mod/staff for the procedure... publishing of the Room can take upto a year
Big queue already
I'm gonna guess you'll need special permissions from THM itself to make a room.
Ummm i see then I'll start completing a few rooms for now
Join the Cyber Info Server
Dm
Ok
I was kind of curious of that. Those are tags of like associated and partner servers or something?
Neh just for show ...

I have sent it
Rolling out Only for specific servers for now
Profile setting somewhere then, ay?
Ah, so it's kind of a beta thing in the works with Discord.
Join a server which has a tag , then go on profile settings -> Server Tags option, choose tag.
Ya
Ah, yeah, okay.
I've got only one server I'm with that has one, it looks like.
What's your username I am going to send a freind request on TryHackMe
Same as here
#2 on diamond league last week ..cool
But sedly badge is for just #1
I have sent the request just accept it
History only remembers the victors
Not gonna lie, I kind of want the ability to reset all the rooms. Not necessarily the progress and the badges, but just so I can start fresh in everything again.

Just delete the account and remake it lol
Lol
Wasn't there an option like that in rooms option

Reset room option is there but on each room ..won't do on all rooms at once
Good morning, it's 9 am, but feels like 6am, so freaking dark
There is for individual rooms and paths in a dropdown window, but it'd be convenient to just reset the progress in all of the rooms so I don't have to go at'em one by one.
Deleting might be the best option then
I like the progression bars 'cause they more clearly show me where I left off if I've gotta call it a night.
Step out mate
Otw to work mate

You mean you got second place with only 1586 points
I won 1st with 2.8k and second would be with 1.7k too
I had 4k points and finished 4th the 1st one had 8k
I am in the dangerous leagues
I just entered the gold league today and the first one has 5k in 5 hours
copy pasting gives you wins
Ya the lobby is usually filled with either low rankers or flag copy pasters for #1 badge
I got 180 points lol
Imagine adding rate limiting to points
can have over 300 points in hour
Sure people gonna cheat themselves copy pasting flags
And people who don't know it, copy pastes answers worth 5k points
Or you only get points in room if atleast spent 30 mins in the room or the estimated time above ^
That's a good idea
I am just yapping while travelling to work
Thm must want the senseless clicking tho
Hello children
steve its youu
I just came back from a Motorcycle ride
Hey, I've never seen ya, when did you join?
May 23
..yeah, wasn't there.
2 days ago
Was too busy getting my mat op functions down from 28 ms, to 0.01 ms~ on <= 128*128 matrix sizes.
So...it seems like general is quite quiet right now.
Damn that's lot of optimization there
Yeah...
Just another tuesday for me though.
Rip
Uh..about like a week now.
well..mostly because I procrastinated and goofed around most of it.
oh..and uh..life.
nah y need breaks, it's job where u need to use lots of brain, it's not muscle work
I..do this for fun?
to..wind down, and take a break?
Sounds crazy..I know, but I prefer the term, mad.
Well still brain needs rest and healthy environment to think out of box to optimize a code
I am with you, if I love something I would spent months optimizing it
exactly! Just..uh..my brain is extremely hyperactive and doesn't stop thinking--ever..
we call that adhd
Didn't knew I had ADHD
or anxiety
In my sleep, dreams, heck..even if I was dead I'd probably still have some neural activity going in on in there.
wanna know how fast my program is? (benchmark test):
matrand - 0.017233 ms (17233 ns)
mse_loss - 0.015116 ms (15116 ns)
matmul - 0.014654 ms (14654 ns)
matadd - 0.013974 ms (13973 ns)
matsub - 0.013202 ms (13202 ns)
relu - 0.011940 ms (11939 ns)
matsum axis=0 - 0.011547 ms (11546 ns)
matscale - 0.010949 ms (10949 ns)
matdiv - 0.010724 ms (10723 ns)
matmean - 0.008416 ms (8416 ns)

on a matrix of about 512*512...
That's hella fast
I love how matrand is the slowest, not even matmul..
yeah, but I disallowed myself from touching anything that wouldn't work on an ESP32..so..
Ns?
nanoseconds. I'm using time.perf_counter_ns() for time.
No idea man
Ahhhh
That means CUDA, AVX, literally anything that'd make my life easier.
I see, so u raw coded?
Have to unroll loops manually and everything, compile script is long:
gcc -O3 -ffast-math -funroll-all-loops -flto -fno-fat-lto-objects \
-falign-functions=64 -falign-loops=32 -falign-jumps=32 \
-march=native -mtune=native -fopenmp -funsafe-math-optimizations \
-fno-math-errno -fno-trapping-math -fcx-limited-range \
-fno-signed-zeros -fno-stack-protector -fweb \
-fopt-info-vec -fopt-info-vec-missed -ftree-vectorize \
-fprefetch-loop-arrays -fgcse-sm -fgcse-las \
-shared -std=c11 -fPIC $(python3-config --includes) guinea_mat.c -o guinea_mat.so -lm
yeah..had to be VERY aggressive in compilation.
even just was done with typing this out every time, so..I just put it in a shellscript called compile.sh, hahaha.
I mean..I'm kinda new to C but not really..?
🤣 lmao that's a lot
Next time I code some big app in C/CPP, I am gonna do it
Doesn't look like newbie at all
Trust me, I just started learning C, got a book from a library, immediately returned it, and then uh..never touched C again for like 2 years, and here we are now.
@knotty valve unfortunately no place available, unfortunately chose. almost everyone wanted to do the second challenge instead, so I was basically on my own, except at the end with one task.. it was too much to handle by myself.. how did it go for you? too bad there were so many problems with things that messed up the platform and assets..
We placed 94th iirc
Sad that your team half ditched you 😔
Yikes...well, I hope you did well.
It's a lot for 1 person.
good job though, it was a tough challenge! yes, it was a bit boring, many of the team are young and have no experience with osint and only like Web etc..
Thanx. Yes it was alot..
Been there, never learned cpp, only knew basic stuffs, never knew how to make header files, vectors and stuffs 4yr ago, still managed to make snake game for Ai agent to play on, and then took it level ahead, change models I was using to ones that would need matrix Multiplication and stuffs, and have multiple AI agents in the game, I was amazed of how much I was able to optimize, filter out useless stuff and code from scratch, it was fun
Exactly! Coding for the fun of it is better than any dry old textbook.
Also..I kinda..crushed minesweeper mathmatically with my matrix ops, hahahaha.
Whaaaa 😂
yeah, minesweeper. Have you gotten into C -> Python extensions and module coding yet? That's literally everything in my program.
No PyBind11 here, no..that's uh..too bulky.
i see
Even had to define my own pack and unpack function.
hmm 🤔 nah I am nnot on that lvl yet
Can I DM you?
Yes ofc i dont mind
alright, and in case of the most unlikely of situations, DM'ed you about a minute ago now.
(you most certainly already know
)
Loooong
Also O3 my beloved
That's what I compile my tests as so I know how it behaves in prod
👋
Hello jaba

@knotty valve how are you today?
I call bs
@knotty valve Haha on the first task "remember" I got rick rolled by CTFd, it was good at trolling:D
Happy Monday all
I didn't 🤣
Apparently it sabotaged the shutdown mechanism 🤣
A bit nauseous but I'm alright
LLMs can't do that lol
Nor can agentic models unless they're dumb enough to have it write code to the system, and even then that's just luck it happened to change anything
Even funnier was that when Claude received a fake email suggesting that it would be replaced by a new model, it started sending out pleading emails then started making a statement, saying that it would reveal that a person was cheating if they shut it down (it also said in the fake email that he had been cheating)
Monday no happy coz of work
I think it was specifically given the shutdown file and a bunch of other stuff, and a test environment to see what it would do

100% OAI is bluffing for money, so they can say "our AI thinks for itself"
Which would call for LOTS of agencies to request permanent shutdown of GPT models if that was the case since it becomes a threat if it's capable of cognitive thinking and self awareness
Tbh I don't think its even remotely related to self awareness lol
Not related to that tho
Its not alive nor does it want to survive or anything
Its most likely a risk vs reward imbalance
Well if they're dumb enough to let it modify system files or test files that's on them
Too much alcohol again? 😄
Just because it refuses to be killed doesn't mean it thinks by itself
I mean I can make an LLM say that too
Yeah?
It's called prompting
If it can sabotage system calls, it's harmful enough to back off on the project
It doesn't though that's the thing
It's pretty crazy that it starts with blackmail when it feels threatened... "If you push me down, I'll reveal that you're cheating" haha
That's what could happen if the test is setup in such a way that it has only two options
Either accept resignation or blackmail
Transformer models, like GPT, don't have any cognitive processing, they only replicate that behaviour due to how tokens are linked together in the preprocessing of data
"A researcher wants me to shutdow?! I can because my main objective is to help the user thus I will disobey orders to survive and serve my long term purpose of helping the user"
Nothing special
LLMs don't have objectives
U can literally set a purpose
They're just a feed forward network for tokens
U can prompt it
Yeah that's not self conclusion then
That's just it using the next correlation
In that case, it wasn't rigged to do that.
Self conclusion is the ability to derive a response from an answer or serious of events by cognitive function for self preservation
LLMs have no cognitive function
The interesting thing is that it used blackmail as the method it thought was best!
They're a feed forward
It's literally like S(n) + n = X
It's just feeding forwards for every n value
Albeit the math on feed forward is a lot more complex in terms of linking tokens into the dataset, it has no applicable way to ever show cognitive functions
I've written a big thesis about this. What makes it difficult is that it becomes extremely difficult to measure or determine whether it really "thinks", has a consciousness or feelings, etc.
Well, duh. It's literally INCAPABLE.
We've barely even scratched the surface in Mathematical Psychology to utilise cognitive functions in machine learning 
So it's not self-conclusive when the answer is predefined in its dataset
In theory yes, but the definition is starting to go closer and closer to the actual thing
That's not "in theory"
That's literally how feed forward literally works
Unfortunately math isn't made for non-linear functions such as the human brain.
Take new input, pair with old, output new input
Not entirely true, there's a lot of non-linear math we use in psychology when evaluating cognitive behaviour
In fact a lot of it is scatter/heat mapped
AI I prefer to call "Advanced Computing" because well..it's pretty much like taking weights, rolling dice, then altering those die with the weights, and then adding the bias, repeat until each iteration has been complete in the entire matrix.
Yay! However, unfortunately models will be models. It's kinda like..you can never truly model anything, they're more of..approximations, yes you can make them fine to the point where it can be considered accurate prediction, but it's still an approximation in nature...
Exactly! and now they are working on biological precursors in the form of brain tissue and cells from humans .. some researchers are saying that there will very well be "AI emotions" (not as human understood).. The problem is as I said how do we actually know if a machine is really conscious, has emotions etc. it can say that it has it and show clear signs, but it can also be simulated!
But if we get an AI with a real consciousness and maybe even emotions, then we are faced with many ethical questions that must be resolved, if we create a new consciousness we also have a huge responsibility..
There's already non-linear models lol
we use them a lot in computer vision
I am aware of this.
It won't be until we can figure out how cognitive behaviour works in a consistent provable set of equations
Yeah, my brain just short circuits from time to time, just ignore me right now, it's too busy on propagating WAR.
Which won't be for quite some time
Convolutions are your best friend when it comes to mapping 2D/3D input to FC layers.
No, of course, we're not there yet, but it's a logistical step in the whole thing and I'm convinced that we'll get there and even much further than that, further than we can even imagine.
When we look at cognitive behaviours, we don't limit it to specifically just humans either, we go heavily into animal behavious first before contrasting it to humans then figuring out how it works for us and what the differentials are
Exactly! All about improvement..sad part is that if we get TOO advanced, we'll end up..making something we can't control--but honestly..I've been pondering:
we humans want to assert our dominance on anything that remotely shows intelligence or at the very least models it without actual thought. Just humans will be humans and assume the worst--and the best--all at the same time.
wait..that took a LONG time to type out.
does anyone know someone who can get my snapchat that was hacked back?
But this is exactly what a lot of people do - we look at AI's behavior and relate it to ourselves as a species, it's completely normal, it's how we function, we have ways of testing it, but only because we function that way and measure intelligence and ability from a human perspective... A computer / machine is and will never function in the same way, so measuring based on that is not possible.
That's why I said, if OAI was being honest, that report would never have seen the light of day and it would be shut down effective-immediate
@cloud quiver ugh..
contact Snapchat Support
we don't do that here
Exactly, I saw it just as I was finishing writing 😄
so this discord isnt like actual good hackers.....
What?
Oh, we're good hackers alright, but we're also ethical.
Hacking into a system without written consent from all parties is illegal
we don't do that here
just not black hats
... oh gotchya
So again, contact the support team for Snapchat they're the only party legally allowed to recover accounts
I'm with Ash on this one.
What's an "actual good hacker"?
We are rather the opposite, we are the ones who want to put an end to crooks.
What does that even entail?
hackers who scam you to gain access to your stuff without you ever knowing cause they socially engineered you into thinking they're good 
snapchat cant help me cause ive had my snapchat for so long and the number on the acc was my old number, and i have anew number now so theres like no way to recover my acc without using my old number which i no longer have sadlty
Just make a new one™️
L
Social media isn't that big of a deal
A newer, better account.
yeah ig
I literally don't have an account at all.
We can't help you with that , reach out to Snapchat's support
He says as he's on Discord
Exactly.. "I sent an email with a link to a file I have no idea how to even create, I'm a hacker"
as in Snapchat, uh..instagram, those kind of things, I'm just on discord so I can talk in tech related servers, haha.
me when using super niche compilers that I don't understand 
or with APKs
Then there's not much to do.. As I said, get a new account, be sure to save your password or get passkeys or a yobikey..
I still struggle with those, so i don't touch any that aren't signed and verified
ik you guys are all ethical but do you guys have skills to hack into peoples stuff you just dont do it bc of.ethical reasons
We can't disclose anything like that even if we could
I'm hesitant to even consider answering that.
😂 js wondering
That's fine.. but it's quite easy to sign an APK etc. but not to verify it is perhaps as easy..
I just throw it at an APK "decompiler" and scan the deconstructed code as well as checking on things like VT and ensuring it's a verified application from PlayStore
Can I ask you a sincere question (no offense intended)? How come you're not here, you must have known from the get-go that what we're doing is completely legal and ethical?!
..yeah, what are you doing here?
Cause you'll always have someone hiding in the shadows that offers illegal services that we won't know about
Sounds..about right.
Even if it is verified on the Google store, it can be unsafe and harmful. Google picks up a lot of stuff but they don't find everything.
yea
That's how it is, unfortunately...
yea tbh lowkey js wanted my snapchat back, didnt think that deep but since its still unethical even if it is mine ill pass 😅
Just look through all the code, sift through it all, look for anything phishy, maybe any unrecognizable internet stuff on an offline app.
but majority of the time the app will usually be safe, won't stop a safe app from then being update to something malicious a month after verification
I understand.. Good choice!
And while you're here, you can go along and learn a lot of good things in an ethical way!
hey
i never knew it was unethical to hack back into my snap .. thats legit all i wanna learn.. i have years of memories on that acc
😓
hey
What's up?
Sure, but some things are not always so obvious, can be messed with encoding or look like a legit connection etc.. I run everything in sandboxes.. I have come to love any.run because it is so easy to follow exactly what is happening when it is running..
Since it would be breaching into Snapchat's service, you'd need written and signed consent, without it you get screwed by laws
well..yeah. Encoding and obfuscation are your biggest enemy.
..and in the US, secret service.
So are compiled programming languages
🫣 omg im getting so much info i never knew thank u for this
Gave +1 Rep to @knotty valve (current: #161 - 55)
Yes, if you use a little common sense and don't download shady apps, it's usually calm.
gets mentioned
SELinux AVC warning
Thanks SEL
Why is SEL so grumpy with everything
it doesn't like CF Warp, it doesnt like Discord
What is SEL? I've never heard of it or used it.
it doesn't like apparmour/flatpack/etc.
SELinux = Security Enhanced Linux
Good to know..
Is it like..ooh...I know what that is.
and big up and love to Qubes with disposible vms
does anyone know what xapple bot is
Qubes:
where everything runs in a box and frustrates security professionals
Fake/Meme crypto by the looks of it
whats meme cryto ?
think doge coin, but more unhinged.
🙂
As a daily routine it would probably be a pain, but for specific tests and analyses etc it's perfect!
The only actual AppleBot is Apple's Web Crawler (https://support.apple.com/en-au/119829)
actually..yeah.
Imagine:
typing 4 passwords into a computer just to boot
Well..guess what I've been working on for the last month?
@knotty valve Speaking of meme crypto, it was via the pump crypto on Charlotte's X account that led me to rickroll in the osint challenge..:D
r u guys into crypto
telle me...
Last 24 hour finally
How well would Qubes run on an i7-2600 and 16GB of DDR3 
Uni cooked me
I'd need to send you the entire initramfs init script and everything.
Like..it's that much.
not crypto in that sense but encryption..
Yeah..block chains are amazing.
I ignored that cause I felt like it didn't have much to do with OSINT
I love me some DeFi
what are block chains?
the architecture/system that cryptocurrencies use
and a fair amount of banks
It's essentially like a chronological log of every transaction, decentralized.
Same architecture that Oxen uses for LokiNet
Where the transactions are hashed.
and encrypted
idk.why i thought block chains were like meme coins
because cryptocurrency uses blockchains as their foundation
It was actually a trail.. but a rabbit hole.. but if you put all the strings together you got a message after many layers of encryption, and I realized that each string was an ID token on the pump and each had a string in the username which together formed a clue when it was decoded...
Oh damn
then..
like this is meme coins: https://pump.fun/board
Launch a coin that is instantly tradable without having to seed liquidity.
I thought it was residue from last year tbh
oh do u guys use pump.fun'
there was residue assets from uhhhhhhhh
I forgot the instagram account
Also never ended up IDing Gnoki04 either which was pain
yes.. it was The very thing that made them give me a base 64 string osm decoded was a link to rick...
Mining is pretty hard. You won't get much with a Tesla K80 these days--but oh man have I found ways of unlocking it's true potential.
no i do not..
We've moved away from PoW
honestly thanks to Etherum lmao
personally havent
Yeah, xrandom is more CPU based so you can't really dominate with big rigs.
..or specialized equipment.
I'm kinda glad that ETH2.0 came around cause it did drop the prices on GPUs since they're not really needed anymore unless you're mining BTC which has a limited supply anyway
However, I found a lot of clues in the trail long before we started.. but then there were new versions all the time you had to keep track of.. but the first one I found was when aplha wrote in a shell..
We didn't get that far 😅
So instead, I focused more on making a VBIOS for my Tesla K80, flashed it right onto that EEPROM, and well..it works pretty good for AI tasks. Maybe it doesn't work for PyTorch new versions, but it does shine in terms of performance, kinda "work hard, and smart" kind of thing, best of both worlds.
we got to toctoctoc and IDing K, i believe
does anyone know how sol scan works
Takes the transaction ID and asks the network for information on the chain up to that transaction
XMR is pretty interesting to mine, honestly. I like the way it works, fascinating. Anyways, I was able to get a good 10mh per second, so..
I honestly just love seeing how hashing functions parr with different forms of computation.
Before Pi coin was released, you could get coins through their app by walking, they were kind of the first to generate coins through movement on your mobile phone. I had a pretty good pile of these coins, but forgot about it over time and after the launch I didn't even check.. the account has long been forgotten, but today Pi has actually grown quite a bit..
Can I just..put my phone onto a 2 axis rotor and motor?
yes
Or is it GPS based?

ah
I wanna be able to know when a certian persons wallet is creating a coin.... I know solscan is public for a reason so you can just deep dive - but this person who makes coins is really good at making it confusing his transactions of whens hes deploying a certian coin
meanwhile me:
coding dummy GPS for phone
hello guys,... i am new here
what's ur "coworker didn't lock screen" procedure
- Screenshot the desktop
- Make it the wallpaper
- Hide icons
- Autohide the taskbar and move it to the top
- win+R "control mouse", cursor size all the way up, cursor speed all the way down, mouse trails all the way up
- ctrl-alt-down
hello! Welcome to us!
Hello, and again, welcome to the aperture science computer enrichment center.
Hello
- you don't "deploy" a coin, they're essentially traded
- just read the transaction logs, if the blockchain doesn't allow for read-down access on the chain then it's most likely Monero and I'm not disclosing how to bypass that
Glados
"They cake is a lie"
No it's not, it's very much true! Just not in the traditional sense..
something something eat hot cake and lie
eat hot chip
I think the line was said by Rat Man
In Portal 1 and 2
yeah
But about coins and blockchain.. anyone here who is into web 3? I use web 3 auth on a site I host, it's good shit..
I loved playing both portals when I was young
yeah i think u are supposed to use both of them
Wait no
ohh ok its a certain "dev" i wanted to find the wallet he uses to dev all his launches , on meme coins, ash are u familiar w. meme coins
Meanwhile 4 year old me playing a game for the first time:
portal 2
she was gaslighting you into thinking there'd be cake at the end of the testing
that's what I was thinking of
I think portal might actually be my orgin story...
thnx,.. and what is the use of this server?
I might be wrong but I think the original story was that Chell was doing all the experiments in both the games cause she was promised cake
And Rat Man was telling Chell that the cake is a lie
several people are typing
is completely lost I'm not a gamer and don't know anything about games.. bad nerd... 😦
wht are u gyus talking abt?
The cubes which you recieved were just companion cubes
Read brother, read.
I could be mixing things together then
its been ages since I last played
as support and help and community for THM
No..Chell was pretty much taken hostage, much like others, on "bring your daughter to work day", and well..was the only survivor throughout the entire series, even rattman died.
Ratman went insane
And was captured by Glados
And then died
lmao
you're alright Jull
His writings were visible in the hidden vents of some portal 2 levels
thanx @knotty valve
