Re: Sounds like

Therefore, HildyJ, whenever as everyone knows, nothing is ever as it seems and sounds like, it may very well not be a Russian run office with salaried employees who turn over especially valuable hits to the Russian intelligence agency while selling others to Russian malware gangs. It's a product of the Ukraine invasion, it's not just SOP for Russia.

It's therefore quite possibly one of those strange quantum communication/qubit things ...... where/when a this is a that and something else altogether quite different too and fully dependent upon your access viewpoint ..... and thus more than just likely disinformation or misinformation and propaganda akin to Big Brother Newspeak from/for A.N.Others*

Yes and Yes are the ideal perfect enough answers for the first paragraph, StargateSg7.

And such are surely inclusive of and would not necessarily exclude your realms.

Are any present temporary difficulties for any Advanced Computer Operating System exhibiting and exercising novel instruction sets, manifested in initially deciding on what current target rich environments it is in its own best interests to take over/overwhelm/crash/crush/trash/make over?

StargateSg7

Having both of those virtually in-house and/or remotely stationed with working connections from afar, and ideally embodied together in the guise of singular entities/spectacularly SMARTR individuals for the additional advantage of immediate synaptic entanglement and spontaneous leading decision maker advantage, would render to such as would be akin to postmodern Caesars, what is worthy of postmodern Caesars.

And coincidentally, not at all accidentally, also suddenly enrich the D-Wave approach inordinately exponentially.

And all for/with computerware with/for the RIGHT KIND OF PROGRAMMERS that UNDERSTAND how to program the RIGHT TYPE OF TRADERS.

And that novel development rewrites and expands upon that old adage addressing the path to success ...... It's not what you know, it's who you know that matters ..... and replaces it with ...... It's knowing all about what you know and who needs it that matters, for that is where all fickle feckless fame and fabulous fabless fortunes are apparently at. ..... which is a good enough final journey and brain-numbing destination for some, whereas for others, who may or may not be a right handful and an almighty few, just the starting point and an initial staging post for everything new which is to follow.

Forewarned is Only Forearmed if Available Defences are Possible.

A RIC [RAN Intelligent Controller] is a new function apparently developed by the O-RAN Alliance that enables service providers to deploy cloud-native control and management apps in the RAN [Radio Access Network]. VMware's RIC, unveiled last year, abstracts the underlying RAN infrastructure and can host near-real-time and non-real-time applications, which VMWare claims will enable new capabilities for automation, optimisation and service customisation.

Leave the Past to the Dinosaurs Pimping Deficit Spending and Drowning in Debt

The magic key to future virtually supported technological success on a vast epic scale on multiple global stages is to practically ignore Parliamentary government and its signed up job seekers on public benefits, for that is exactly what Members of Parliament and their SpAds and lackeys really are, and approach that which you have identified as needing government type help yourself, with your proposals shared to be dangled in front of governments to provide that ethereal cash which central and national banks conjure up out of thin air to supply needs and feeds and seeds ..... if the starved of future investment private and pirate sectors are disinclined to lead governments by the nose into fields in which leadership delivers novel opportunities and solutions to problems not yet encountered.

Russia is the advanced persistent threat that just triggered. Ready?

Re: What’s going on, El Reg?

Thanks for the additional free info for intel, Solmyr ibn Wali Barad, which is always how everything works best and at a pace which is leading.

The human race must be systemically prone to being punitively retarded in not realising that simple observation, with all the available evidence which abounds, highlighting the shenanigans requiring secrecy and obfuscation to prevail in order to not render practitioners worthily in dread fear for the lives. Such though is always only a temporary respite allowing them to compound their crimes and implicate others, who may or may not be destined for scapegoathood and the carrying of an explosive can to be passed on to others if any other fools to be fooled and used as useful useless tools can be found.

Don’t turn on the channel, vogon00. That fixes it. It aint rocket science. Democracies allow alternate views, fascist states don’t.

Sorry for the inconvenience caused

A change of reality introduces a brand new cast of influential novel players the like of which established status quo figures haven’t a clue about what they can do and what can be done. Was there ever before a greater opportunity to engage with something radically different and Great Game changing?

Re: Haven't you been told or not yet realise, the old order of things is fundamentally changed

And nowadays such guaranteed radical and irreversible revolutionary change, so sweet and exotic, adorable and unpredictable is well enough recognised to be realised as both worrying or terrifying at one extreme by those who dabble and swim in such streams as part and parcel of their day job parrying 0days. And although not publicly admitted, the fights against its progress in order to retain and maintain traditional inherited command and elite exclusive executive control of passed down historical status quo power and energy systems, is a constant failing struggle against surreal phantom enemies akin to universal virtual forces provided and supplying immaculately resourced assets from and into myriad engaging fields of vital endeavour and cooperative succour ...... which is also a view echoed by another whom y'all might fully expect and hope to know more than just a little about WTF is going on ....

Furthermore, we live in a world transformed by digital connectivity, and stand on the cusp of revolutionary advances in technology which will affect the manner in which we live and work in ways we cannot fully foresee.

Advances in quantum engineering and engineered biology will change entire industries. The huge volumes of data now available across the globe, combined with ever increasing computer power and advances in data science, will mean the integration of artificial intelligence, AI, into almost every aspect of our daily lives.

Others would speak to you about the benefits associated with these new discoveries… and they are myriad. But I am paid to look at the threat side of the ledger. MI6 deals with the world as it is, not as we would like it to be. And the ‘digital attack surface’ that criminals, terrorists and hostile states threats seek to exploit against us is growing exponentially. .....
