I think there's massive astroturfing with the usual talking points about drug trafficking, Maduro a dictator, Venezuelans are "Happy" plastered everywhere to try and distract from the naked fact of the oil.
I'm left wondering what this covert mesh traffic is actually accomplishing, and whether it's actually controversial or whether the researcher came across a red herring (Perhaps background file transfer such as airdrop while in airplane mode, unlikely as that sounds?).
Good catch! checked sharingd (PID 75) in spindump: <0.001s CPU time while mDNSResponder processed the 84MB. Traffic attribution rules out AirDrop.
The 67:1 RX/TX asymmetry and idle sharing daemon confirm this isn't file transfer.
I can only foresee a continued degradation of the online commons as AI unleashes a torrential firehose of deleterious content at any bad actors' whims.
I wouldn't apply the usual "but mice" appeal to purity in this case.
For one, the paper specifically studied brain structures that are directly homologous in both mice and humans (retrosplenial cortex). The researchers specifically targeted evolutionarily-conserved circuitry.
Second, there is already human research on the topic, too, and this paper is reporting on a likely mechanism to understand "why" rather than "if." Here's one from a Yale researcher:
Try focusing on software architecture and organisation/factoring since AI is an incredible force multiplier for these skills currently and foreseeably.
