      Apparently you can get that sequence from an AI bot if you ask it “correctly”. But rules for thee and all that.

        I know about it, but didn’t recognize the code. So I assumed, they encoded some text to make it harder to read. So I tried decoding it.

        Turns out, if you decode this in UTF-16, it turns into a japanese sentence

        契ȑ璝寣䇘앖噣삈

        Which means (according to DeepL)

        The sound of the wind rustling through the trees

        And now I’m confused, why.

        Thanks for the link I never remembered the numbers to know if it was for that or not…course been online long enough to know that’s the code (style) shown in comments. Was a lot of comments at one point.

        My only unsureness of the code is cause I’m old and miss newer stuff so had to check to be sure.

      Its good that you have enough self-control to hand over your keys when you’ve had too much to drink.

      lol I still have a screenshot of Digg from when every article on the home page had this key in it.

          Yup.
          The problem is, how do you guarantee access control that works offline?

          DVD DRM was based on a pretty simple system that was easy to crack.
          HD-DVD (former blu-ray competitor) DRM was more advanced. Someone hacked a software player and extracted its decode key, which this was.
          The DRM was designed to be updateable so any discs manufactured after this leak would use different keys (and anyone using the software app that’d been hacked would need an update). That didn’t stop this key from working on every disc in existence at the time.

          That’s the problem with making software decoding available. It had to work offline, so you could have an authorized player software, and feed it any valid disk, and it’d Just Work. So even if you put a crypto enclave in the drive controller, the player software still needs its own way to authenticate itself to the drive.

            aside from like, I mean I see your point there. I have been doing a little work here and there studying Quantum based keying and security. Even being one the more well rounded casual internet individuals with a greater technicality of understanding said stuff. It still scares me, if not more so being able to see when even my own capacity to keep up with it all that or even just the complexity of these new age Ai systems does get to me, not gona lie about that. Watching my own abilities to not just know but even the tail end of conceptual break down of not what exactly powers these things nor at what line they have or the validity of the Ai’s own thinking and its true or not understandings “those things I get and can wrap my mind around” But lately fully being able to keep up with i.e. I will give you one or so examples that does and even scares me half to death, because I not only have no idea entirely at said point, but what I do know is an Ai of such magnitude would supersede mine and likely the majority if not all human technical capabilities, stuff like Quantum cognition architectures are quite hard to wrap the brain around, and with Latent‐Space these days exceeding either parties full understanding, no Ai nor human can currently fully explain whats happening in some the latest or future conceptual GAi: generative Ai tandems of systems. They say blackbox, but we understand most “blackbox” atleast conceptually, some the newest algorithmic and multi modality systems though become any ones guess. I myself am just hoping at this point to keep up with Quantum related security protocols and possible insights on research into such things.
