Those at least have to be downloaded and installed by the user, which indicates a high level of intent/consent and is difficult to do accidentally. In the browser environment, malicious content can be navigated to without any user intent or consent whatsoever, which when combined with holes punched in browser sandboxes for the sake of fancy features makes for danger with a dramatically larger scope.
Right now, most untrusted code runs in the browser's sandbox, and that's great - outside of the realm of fancy 0 days, the damage is limited.
But if downloading apps becomes the norm again (like every online store asking you to get their app and an extra app for a discount program), I expect that socially engineering less technical users into downloading malware will become much easier.
Honestly, the end of everything being a chrome-based app and people making actual native desktop apps that run at 10x the speed with 1/10th the energy usage would be excellent. I really hope that does happen.
"that run at 10x the speed with 1/10th the energy usage"
How many current developers optimize their products for speed and energy usage?
I can see the very opposite happening: half-baked apps, whose massive portions were written using free-tier AI output, hogging gigabytes of RAM and four processor cores while the cursor is idly spinning and the laptop is becoming hot.
Compared to the past (and my memory goes back to Netscape Navigator 3, old person that I am), modern browsers seem to be technologically fine.
These aren't rules made by bureaucrats. They are laws written by Congress, a coequal branch of government, in response to the Nixon administration's abuse of executive power
And in some cases FDR's abuse of executive power. If we manage to get... Someone, I don't know who which is depressing, elected that is interested in preserving democracy above all the other current issues, I'm sure there will be a lot more laws to safeguard this happening again. Personal recommendations, nox the filibuster it creates incentive, use federal money to get all the states to switch to ranked choice voting for all federal positions. And MMP for house and electoral college. Maybe nix the filibuster as the last item of business so that the first Congress without it will have more than two parties (due to those electoral changes which lead to 4-8 parties usually).
Depending on the language, personally, I haven't seen a great deal of hallucination with the models I use (llama 3.1 often). I wouldn't expect, say Spanish, to be a problem. I think you'll find more potential issues when it comes to more ___domain-specific terminology.
The reason is to never allow anyone (even the editors) to have actual access to the show's files/images. Remote software can prohibit copy/paste, file transfers, and screenshots. I worked in a post facility with 100s of people all remoting in to a server rack down the hall.
Only two years? They operated hydrogen buses from 2006 to 2010 and then got some more in 2011 and 2019. There are budget line items for new buses in 2023 and 2024 that I assume got bought
