I actually find it interesting to see that they seem to have skipped the whole “everyone needs an AI subscription for their everyday tasks”-phase and went straight for “technology isn’t for the serfs” angle.
Guess that happens when a case of collective insanity proves that you don’t need any working business model to get rich, just enough idiots to pump an endless bubble.
Difficult as in unlikely that the exploit works or difficult to write an exploit?
Difficult as in it’s a race condition that can theoretically be exploited when you get the timing right. But timing, if it’s not on a well-known isolated system right before you in some lab, depends on a million details, some –once we are talking about real-life examples– outside your control.
If Wikipedia is to be believed English (at least British English) does in fact the same thing. Although it’s “curly” instead of “curved” brackets.
No, I’m not confusing things but directly referencing Wikipedia (and as explicitly mentioned British English):
( ) (round) brackets
[ ] square brackets
{ } curly brackets
<> angle brackets
American English however calls the same:
( ) parentheses
[ ] (square) brackets
{ } (curly) braces
<> angle brackets or chevrons
Yes, that means British an American people are meaning different things when talking about brackets (round vs. square as the default).
So I will repeat myself:
round, square, curly and angle brackets…
So given that big chunks of the world learn British English it is probably not just a “German thing” as OP suggested.
