#gPWN: #Wiretapping #Fiber #ISP Deployments From the Comfort of Your Home

source: gpwn.io

GPON is the fiber-to-home protocol that carries traffic for hundreds of millions of subscribers worldwide (and climbing). It operates on a threat model that makes several assumptions that break in the real world.

We'll chat about how it's possible to become a modern day fiber optic voyeur with hardware that costs about $100 and watch your neighbor's DNS, SIP calls and most-

-excitingly, GTP-tunneled 4G/5G traffic from the cellular towers that you share a fiber line with.

The U.S. Took Over Venezuela’s #Oil #Industry. Where Has All the #Money Gone?

source: cfr.org/articles/the-u-s-took-…

In the first four months of the United States exerting control over Venezuela’s oil exports, almost one hundred million barrels of oil worth an estimated $8 billion have flowed through a process marked by no #transparency and minimal oversight. While the #Trump administration has repeatedly framed this #control as benefiting both countries, it has not publicly disclosed how much Venezuelan oil it has sold, how much revenue it has collected, or how it has used those funds since seizing control of the country’s oil exports following the January 3 #military intervention that deposed Venezuelan leader Nicolás #Maduro.

#Nvidia in talks with #OpenAI to guarantee $250 billion financing for data center

source: finance.yahoo.com/technology/a…

The #backstop from Nvidia would help the #ChatGPT maker lease a 10-gigawatt project that ‌#SoftBank's subsidiary SB #Energy is developing in southern #Ohio, the newspaper said, citing people familiar with the matter.

To put this in perspective: OpenAI can’t get a bank loan for the construction project because it’s far too #risky. That’s why Nvidia has to act as a guarantor so that OpenAI can build it and purchase equipment from Nvidia. There’s probably never been a worse #bubble in the financial sector.

#AI Data Center Turbines, Backlogged For Years, Are Suffering Early Deaths. Here's Why.

source: investors.com/news/turbine-gen…

The problem begins with fluctuating computational loads that gulp down energy for artificial intelligence operations, such as training machine learning models. Changes in normal grid demand tend to be gradual.

#Gas #turbines have been at the heart of some of the largest AI #hyperscaler data center #energy deals, including names like #Microsoft (MSFT), #Meta Platforms (META), #Chevron (CVX) and #Amazon (AMZN). Life expectancy for the complex, pricey equipment often runs to a decade or more.

But they are designed to run steadily for days, weeks or months at a time. And, by its nature, AI training demand comes in short-term surges. This cycling on and off appears to be sharply reducing the life of the turbines, leading to downtime and costly repairs or, worse yet, the need for new #equipment as the backlog for new turbine deliveries runs to the end of the decade.

The AI power loads "have the potential to change their demand almost instantly," FERC Chair Laura Swett said. "This rapid #fluctuation causes voltage stability issues that threaten grid reliability."

The stability risks posed by AI and other sources of large loads are profound enough that Tesla is funding research and America's grid watchdogs have begun to clamp down.

#Review: Spider-Man: Brand New Day – A #Hero for the #Surveillance State?

source: themoviedb.org/movie/969681-sp…

At first, #Spider-Man: Brand New Day looks like another emotional #superhero #story. Peter Parker has lost everything. No one remembers him, not even MJ. He searches for his #identity while trying to protect #NewYork. The #film spends much of its time on #trauma, #loneliness, and #mental #health.

But behind this personal story lies a political #message. The film presents mass surveillance as something necessary and even heroic. This is where the #movie becomes much more interesting—and much more troubling.

Spider-Man uses powerful surveillance #technology to watch the city. He collects video from many security cameras. He scans every face to find criminals. Even the #police admit that this is probably #illegal. Still, the film treats these actions as acceptable because Spider-Man is one of the "good guys."

Jean Grey—now portrayed by Sadie Sink (She kept her role a huge secret beforehand for marketing reasons.) in the Marvel Universe—falls into the facial recognition trap set by Spider-Man's surveillance program. If, by the end, you feel sorry for Jean Grey because the script wants you to and you’ve let yourself be swept up in the drama, then please remember that at the beginning of the movie, Jean possessed an old man and sent him running into the street so he would be brutally run over. She’s a mass murderer who’ll stop at nothing to achieve her goal. She could easily achieve this goal with her incredible superpower, but she makes it unnecessarily complicated by first freeing the Scorpion, which is what draws Spider-Man's attention to her in the first place.

This idea has a long #history in popular culture. The strongest comparison is George Orwell's 1984. #Orwell imagined a #society where every citizen is watched. Surveillance is presented as a tool for #security, but it destroys #freedom. In Brand New Day, the situation is different because Spider-Man is a hero, not a dictator. Yet the basic question remains the same: Who watches the watchers? If one person can see everyone, who controls that person?

The film never really asks this #question. Instead, it assumes that surveillance is good as long as the right people #control it. This is one of its biggest #weaknesses.

Another interesting comparison is The Dark Knight. In Christopher Nolan's film, #Batman creates a machine that can monitor every mobile phone in Gotham. Lucius Fox calls it too dangerous because it gives one person unlimited power. Batman agrees. He uses the system only once to catch the #Joker and then destroys it immediately.

Brand New Day takes a very different approach. Spider-Man's surveillance technology is not treated as a #moral #problem. Instead, it becomes a normal #tool of #crime fighting. The ethical debate that makes The Dark Knight so powerful is almost completely missing.

The transcript also compares Spider-Man's work with modern surveillance technology. Peter Parker works closely with the Department of Damage Control and helps collect huge amounts of personal data. The review argues that this creates a positive image of a close relationship between #government institutions and powerful technology companies.

This makes the film feel surprisingly modern. Today, governments and private companies collect enormous amounts of digital information. Cameras, facial recognition, smartphones and artificial #intelligence make surveillance easier than ever before. The movie reflects this reality but rarely questions it.

One of the most interesting contradictions is #PeterParker himself. He wants #privacy for his own life. He hides his identity and wants to escape public attention. At the same time, he watches everyone else and scans thousands of faces. The film never fully explores this contradiction.

This creates an uncomfortable message. Privacy seems important for the hero but less important for ordinary citizens.

The citizens themselves hardly have a voice. They mostly watch, cheer and accept Spider-Man's actions without #discussion. They never decide whether they want to live in such a #society. They simply #trust the hero.

As #entertainment, Spider-Man: Brand New Day offers impressive visuals and emotional performances. However, its political ideas deserve much more attention. The film normalizes mass surveillance while presenting it as an act of kindness and #responsibility. It replaces difficult ethical questions with emotional storytelling.

Unlike 1984, it does not warn us about surveillance. Unlike The #DarkKnight, it does not seriously question its use. Instead, it asks the #audience to trust the hero completely.

That may be the film's most surprising message. The greatest danger is not an #evil government forcing surveillance on its people. The greater danger is that we willingly accept surveillance because it is carried out by someone we like.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day succeeds as an emotional superhero #drama. As a political film, however, it raises fascinating questions without giving convincing answers.

AI: A CONVERSATION
ABOUT THE #TRUTH 💎

#People keep talking about Artificial Intelligence as though one enormous mind is slowly waking up inside the machinery.

It is not.

There is no single intelligence sitting behind your #screen.

No central #being.

No #secret mechanical person gradually becoming conscious of itself and preparing to take over the #world.

There are many different #systems, built by different companies, trained for different purposes, using different methods, rules, #data and machinery.

They do not all know what the others know.

They do not #share one #memory.

They do not have one intention.

They are tools that can perform particular kinds of #mental work extraordinarily well.

That is remarkable enough.

We do not need to turn it into a new god.

The phrase “artificial intelligence” may be part of the #problem.

It encourages us to imagine a complete intelligence, like a #human mind, only artificial.

But what we actually have is a growing collection of machines that can recognise patterns, generate language, analyse information, create images, write #software and solve certain problems.

Some do these things brilliantly.

Some do them badly.

Most have no idea what they are doing in the human sense of the word “idea.”

They are not an emerging #species.

They are not one vast mind.

They are not secretly plotting together after we go to #bed.

They are #powerful human-made systems.

And the real questions remain human questions.

#Who builds them?

Who owns them?

What are they used for?

Who benefits?

Who is harmed?

Who remains responsible?

AI is already extraordinary.

There is no need to make it #supernatural.
