  • Can someone explain me how xai raised so many billions that they could have purchased xitter for an even more ridiculous amount of billions?

    • They are not a public company so there’s no stock manipulation

    • They are not selling API access to the public

    • They don’t have some sort of crypto coin scam that they could print when need some cash flow

    Where those billions come from? It’s just melon charging ridiculous prices to his own companies? Like if Tesla needed some sort of ai api Key they’re going to pay xai 100000% over the market value? Isn’t that illegal, money laundering or something like that?



  • For fdroid the app is compiled on fdroid servers when dev tags a new release on GitHub. So the app matches the source, it’s not possible to put a tainted APK to download

    Now, if the malicious code is slowly added to the source over the course of an year like it happened with the xz utils, this won’t change the result, but it’s easier to do so with a compiled binary. Release clean source and infected binary, it will take a longer time to get caught

    For the closed source app stores, on iOS there’s the manual inspection (which is not infallible especially if they timebomb or geofence the bad feature) and for Google there’s the automated inspection (which fails often seeing the news) that should find problems
