I can just shake my head and say that humanity won't make it. We are so obsessed with stealing things from others but making sure our offer is not stolen it's insane.

Instead of really working together, which we are in dire need of currently.

Not all of us. Just a few actually. But not playing fair will always give them an advantage.

Their advantage is a critical mass of people who aren't willing to sacrifice their comfort by rocking the boat.

The people have always had the ability to rise up and form a better system. They just don't, unless there's literally no other option.

And when the people do rise up, the psychopaths just go into hiding until they can worm their way back to the top again. They're a cancer, and likely our Great Filter

"They" is you. Stop waiting for someone else to fight. Sacrifice your freedom start a trend.

thats what they want you to believe so you dont enact some grade A consequences. cant benefit from cheating if theyre dead.

Well said, sadly

That's not what steganography is. There is no hidden message here.

[–] WesternInfidels@feddit.online 41 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Your assertion baffles me. The CC client is sending information about its execution context back to Anthropic HQ in a sneaky, obfuscated way that most people wouldn't notice.

If that's not a hidden message, if that's not steganography, what is?

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah I thought steganography was hiding messages in images.

Ok I just looked it up, apparently it can be anything. Images, audio, video, or even text.

I remember I had this Perl module once that would convert passwords into a binary string and then convert that string into spaces and tabs. Looked like a blank file. I guess that was technically steganography.

[–] frongt@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

No, that's encoding. If you hid that message inside another message, that would be steganography.

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It is a message hidden in a message. The hidden message is the binary password, and the container message is "[blank]"

[–] Tetsuo@jlai.lu 1 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

If i understand correctly it is a message within a blank file. So it is not steganography, I suppose.

At least I dont think a seemingly blank file would pass as a valid message.

That's what I think is defining for steganography is that it is deceptive because you might not assume another secret message is hidden within the original message.

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 1 points 8 hours ago

The decoy container could be literally anything. Sure good steganography would be hidden in something that looks real, like a jpeg or a music file, because it gives it a reason for existing at a glance. That's not to say it couldn't be a blank plaintext file, it just might arouse more suspicions and be subjected to more scrutiny

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 day ago

Steganography can include hiding binary strings inside of pretty much any file type
