It's not though, it's a pretty standard component.

It seems unlikely that smartphones would be targeted for such an attack because almost nobody stores large amounts of crypto on their smartphone. Those that do will likely get hacked more traditionally.

There have been more hacks, bugs, and coins lost from software or custodial wallets than ever have and likely ever will be lost from hardware wallets.

I presume because iPhones have a secure TPM and nobody is targeting them for crypto supply chain attacks.

A cloud synced passkey is still better than a cloud synced password, and that is the alternative.

Models that figured out reward hacking became overall more evil. Like stereotypical AI who wants to kill all humans stuff, there's probably a lot of that in the training data.

>Survivor is edited after the fact, once the winners and all the arcs of contestants are known.
That might make it easier for the model to pick up on clues from the editing process. Like winners get more on-screen confessionals or something like that.

There's a great free Yale lecture series called Death that goes into this.
https://oyc.yale.edu/philosophy/phil-176/lecture-12
Version 1: A mad scientist swaps your mind with another person's (Linda's), then asks which resulting body he should torture. Intuition says spare the one with your personality, so personality looks like the key to identity.
Version 2: He's going to torture you, but first gives you amnesia, then makes you believe you're Linda, then gives Linda your memories. Intuition says don't torture your body, so the body looks like the key.

It's actually worse than that. IP laws trump property laws because they prevent you from using your property in ways you would otherwise be able to. It's nothing more than base rent seeking.

This is going to blow your mind, but people created music, literature, art long before intellectual property laws existed. IP laws are nothing but rent seeking.
