Brotli gives you code execution in WebKit.Networking. From there it is just a bit sandbox escaping and stuff. The videos show iPhone 18 Pro, iPad M5 and MacBook M5 so all devices with MTE.
Welcome to Hotel Calif. We're in lockdown mode. You can check in, but you can never leave. Broccoli is served around the clock. The Brotli bug apparently affected iOS and macOS too. Apple released version 27.2.1 yesterday, fixing this bug among other security issues. This is an important security update. If you haven't updated yet, now's a good time. The demos show what we were able to do with it.

Replying to @calif_io
@calif_io you guys seem like good people and I’d love to share some. It’s with you. I found a handful of vulnerabilities including specific log sections and code samples in the wild, when looking into a perpetual presentation of a forged TLS cert.

Did you recently get a warning by Apple that you are targeted by mercenary spyware? Remember to always use Lockdown mode and OTA update to the latest iOS 🤡
Lockdown Mode helps, until it doesn't.

I became particularly alarmed when a number of folks at Apple + a very senior former employee acknowledging the issues but just encouraging me to submit to the bug bounty program and “take the payout.”

Ohio Republicans gerrymandered the hell out of this state, and we’re still on track to win 8 of Ohio’s 15 congressional seats. We held all five of our seats, flipped two, and we’re leading in a third. Imagine what we could do with fair maps.

Sam Altman should be in jail on thousands of counts of computer fraud and hacking. For a start.
People should always be in control of the future. OpenAI is against the notion that it would be acceptable for people to be relegated to a role of doing things that “AI systems think makes sense to reward in humans”. People should not cede control of the future to superintelligence, and that requirement should ultimately constrain AI progress.

LBJ said after passing the civil rights bill that "democrats have lost the south for a generation". That generation has just ended.

The defeat of the Republicans is also a defeat of the tech accelerationist ideology: the silicon valley "disruptor" ethos of "Move Fast & Break Things." When the "things" are communities, the environment & people's livelihoods, those broken people fight back.

Better start writing more efficient code. Or perhaps AI labs will finally hire some legitimate software engineers?
So the 41 datacenter moratoria across the country are, I predict, going to go 41-0. In nearly every case it's about 67-80% opposing datacenters. True in California, Ohio, everywhere. Read all the results here: dashboard-production-c2fc.up…

Remember when all the Big Tech, Wall Street, Big Law, media, and universities bent the knee to Trump? That was less than two years ago.

Remember earlier this year when Codex was writing 640TB of Write Ahead Logs? Now divide that down to writes per second. What would a missing set of logs indicate about your CPU and what causes that. Now think about the fact that most MacBooks have a corroded (undervolted) battery terminal 🙃

This would be a very large problem wrt county BoE’s transmitting their local voting machine’s to the state.
Scott Aaronson four days ago on the possibility that AI models will soon break widely used cryptographic systems, and on what responsible disclosure looks like when the parties who need to be notified are effectively the entire world.
