  • From my understanding if you have a home type plan, moving isn’t allowed, and never was.

    If you had a roaming plan, which was more expensive, moving was allowed and that included the cheap plans.

    Then they made this roaming standby mode which cost money instead of a free offline paused subscription and was $5 USD a month and included unlimited low speed (<1mbps) and moving.

    Then less than a year later, that plan became $10 USD, and moving was disabled.

    So only the expensive roaming plans now include it.

    I had originally bought a dish as part of my emergency prepare package as im in a natural disaster risk area, but just kept it paused. Then the standby thing happened and I begrudgingly was okay to pay the $5 as it did have some perks. But $10 for something I was only planning for emergencies and maybe using once or twice a year? No thank you. And i canceled. Ill just turn it on the once a year when i need it for $10 then turn it off again.

    Edit: oh and those changes aligned with just before the IPO so it was an attempt to get more money and raise subscribers.

  • I’ll chime in again on the end here, as I think this is where you might be wrong.

    There is no “oh god it’s moving on it’s own” moment, at least as far as I know.

    There have been lots of reports of AI’s doing unexpected things and hacking other companies. To be fair, these AI’s from my understanding had been given instructions to try and do hacking things, but none of them were explicitly told to go and hack such and such company.

    I imagine, to some extent, we’re going to be the ones that help write or train these self replicating capabilities as part of research, and once the AI is capable of doing it, it very well might just do it, the same way it ended up exploiting these other websites even though it wasn’t explicitly instructed to.

    There are also always on running LLMs AI’s nowadays, and who the fuck knows what it might loop itself into doing from some initial instruction, maybe even from a hallucination altering its directive in a feedback loop.

    Edit: So in this sense, yes I think ‘it’ can be the AI. (edit2: and is exactly in the start of the “oh god it’s moving on it’s own" territory)

    Edit 3: Example - Always on LLM with an initial context of “be helpful”, could decide on it’s own, after its owner complains that the stove light doesn’t work well in a casual conversation, hack the stove so it can control it better for them as that will be helpful.








  • And how many security vulnerabilities have you found? 516 is still a lot. One of those had been in the Linux kernal for decades.

    Edit: and many of those real ones from the 6000 group anthropic says the maintainers just didn’t want to fix as it was outside their threat model. A vulnerability in the Linux kernal, is different than one on an alarm clock app or something less serious.

    Edit: And for people that don’t know, this decades old linux exploit wasn’t just a single bug it found. It was able to piece together multiple smaller exploits that it found, that led to being able to exploit this bigger bug.
