This indeed works very well, most device are not very well locked down because of proje t resources limitation, and this opens a new era of hacking.
Unminifying, deobfuscating, api probing, hardware scanning and firmware decompiling are all operations that benefit a lot from AI.
This will start a new cat and mouse race, as it's also cheaper than ever to add friction to prevent those with AI as well and companies will notice soon. They historically hate hacking despite the fact a lot of success in their field can be directly traced back to it.
It's way worse than that, it's an attack to the entire society.
The vast majority of ads lie; therefore, they are actively harmful. They create a situation where being surrounded by false things is normal. They promote the improvement of tools to make deception and tracking better and better.
On top of that, they install evil incentives for the medias, the news, and business models, influencing consumption, public options and opinions.
Finally, they concentrate power in those who already have enough money to pay for ads. You may have the better product, but a big player with better PR will win.
Ads are one of our most destructive creations. It's much, much more dangerous than it looks.
Very happy that it's still maintain, because that's the only real framework that allow an easy dev for a decently fast app with one code base that works on linux, windows, mac, ios and android at once.
It's extremely dev friendly, they have a daily planetary diff you can download and just update your local copy.
A lot of data is missing or is obsolete in the south of France, so I created an account to contribute.
It got banned as spam, so I contacted them to ask what was wrong. A human answered in the following hour and they restored my access immediatly.
They have a better dev experience and support than google.
