it's also insanely difficult to test because the AI systems are nondeterministic. There's not guarantee that because I tried really hard to make the chatbot hack us and it failed, that it will also fail for the next guy trying the same thing. The money is better spent on hardening and detection than the hackbot slot machine. IMO.

New: police are being explicitly told to hide the fact they're using Flock to pull people over and arrest them. Basically, do not mention this in official police reports.

If the tech is completely legal and acceptable, like law enforcement say, why hide it?

Last week was my move up to the 1.0 mg dose and it was rough. The first day after the injection I felt nauseous and ended up with a (probably) unrelated migraine. Couldn't really eat meals, could only snack. I took my second injection yesterday and today I'm struggling to get a packet of peanut butter crackers down. Might need to back off to a lower does if the side effects don't improve.

Yeah you shouldn't use it at all if you can avoid, but this is like issuing a CVE because a product exposes telnet.

I've recently moved up to 0.5mg/week dosage sine the initial dose I was on is technically subclinical (although I got results from it). I no longer feel pressure to eat almost constantly and can snack from a bag of chips without mindlessly binging most of it. Overall, I'm feeling very positive about my decision to use this drug.
