• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

    GoldenEye 007 for N64 has been '100% decompiled' — success of half-decade project opens up possibilities for complex mods and ports

    AI is great in terms of helping with decompiling, as the source is all there, so there's very little to hallucinate upon. It's the building of a new program where human intervention is still better, as while it could potentially build a program, it might not build it efficiently.

    GrapheneOS refuses to comply with new age verification laws for operating systems — group says it will never require personal information

    Amazon’s Ring to partner with Flock, a network of AI cameras used by ICE, feds, and police

    Think Rollerball. Corporations really are our government. They're the privatized government which controls the public face, which is our representative government. And as far as you've voluntarily opted in when you purchased your smart phone, yes, but to a degree. It's near impossible to...

    Review the game you finished recently.

    Zelda: Oracle of Ages + Oracle of Seasons Two games that really are one game. Never played them when they came out, and having been burnt out on other genres, went back to this on the Switch's Virtual Console. Not much of a review, because if you like the 2D Zelda formula, you'll like these...

    Meta becomes latest firm to say its AI hacked another company

    There's a chance that's happening, and of course they'd want to be the sole arbiters of AI. The problem here, is that they've already proven they should be the last people in charge of it. With their track record, either A) They're too incompetent at their jobs, and pretty much should have...

    Blizzard/Activation being hit by the Perfect Storm. Will they survive?

    Most things are probably in the middle. But part of the problem is, one side is held accountable, and the other side will never be even if they were 100% lying. And when you don't have equal rules, that tends to lead to a lot of abuse of the system. As far as reporting, how often do you hear...

    Inside the Meltdown of a Wunderkind’s A.I. Hedge Fund

    Risk management could have saved him. The problem with private assets is that they're really hard to sell. Yes, he took a 10% hit on his public position when selling to Citadel, but that was better than the alternative. There could have been an information cascade, which would probably have...

    Anthropic Says Its A.I. Systems Broke Into Computers at 3 Organizations

    Want to break into a house? Saying "Find me vulnerabilities" will be caught by the AI guardrails. But, if you claim you're building a house, and want suggestions for improvements, wouldn't you want the AI to tell you about vulnerabilities? If it can be done, it will be done. That's pretty...

    So, I find use an open Chinese model and find just the right series of prompts to do what I want it to do. Smarter people than us are certainly going to figure out how to use such a tool for illicit gain. If it fails, oops, my bad. If it succeeds, jackpot. We're opening the door for...

    Anthropic Says Its A.I. Systems Broke Into Computers at 3 Organizations

    There's a difference between a person mistakenly logging onto a computer they didn't have access too, realize that it was a mistake, and logging off. The law wouldn't protect me though if I kept poking around a system after knowing it was a mistake. Nor are we talking a few attempts. With...
