#AI-100 Dumps Question Answers

[luckykiwiii101]

why arent you answering anymore asks that are not success stories? sorry i dint want to come off as rude or anything but wouldnt answering advice be better that just responding to success stories. thats lowkey just confirmation bias (search it up).

Oh? I thought it was obvious. Why would I respond to a bunch of asks asking me “how do I assume 🥺” “how do I persist 🥺” “can I manifest…🥺” when I literally spend hours making posts addressing all of these questions people are asking. Why would I want to constantly repeat myself because some people don’t want to learn to read and would prefer to treat me like AI ready for them whenever they want. And i’ve said this many times before.

I’m not going to take sweet time out of my day to slave away conjuring up responses to these essay lengths asks trauma dumping on me victimising themselves. When i’ve given them all the information they could possibly need yet they still want more.

It’s not confirmation bias at all. I’m not trying to reinforce my beliefs on the law of assumption. I already 100% believe in it. I only answer success stories because it shows people who have actually applied the law and gave themselves what they wanted. People who refuse to read my posts and expect me to respond to their asks with a full guide on the law of assumption don’t deserve my attention. So why would I waste my time on them?

Do you forget that there’s a living, breathing person behind this blog? I simply do NOT have the time for this.

p.s. I will also not be responding to success stories such as “I manifested pizza” or “I manifested free coffee.” I’m not invalidating those successes or labelling them as small. There is no such thing as big or small. But I want to post success stories that demonstrate a big change in people’s lives. Don’t take it as an offense please.

Getting ready to do a Pluto rewatch and I'm watching some of the last BTS videos. Tell me why it took seeing this:

For me to understand that Oom has some real CPTSD.

**Spoilers for Ep 11 below 👇**

I'm not sure the order things were filmed. If NT shot the Ai-oon stuff second like the video makes it seem then, I find the above moment really interesting.

When I first watched the episode I of course was sad for Oom. But it was always from the perspective of "she just had so much information dumped on her and, she has not had a chance to grieve." I mean the girl just woke up from a coma and found out:

She was married

Her new husband died (in a car accident of all things!! With her being the only survivor, just like with her parents)

Her sister has been pretending to be her...again (don't forget that she's been beat up at least once because of Ai doing this)

Her sister has been pretending to be her w/ her girlfriend.

Said girlfriend is blind now.

Your sister is being nice to you. (Basically you're closer then when you went into the coma)

Your sister is also acting suspicious/weird when it comes to May.

That's all separate from the fact that Oom just learned that May and Ai-oon fell in love!

Any of that would be a lot on its own. It makes COMPLETE SENSE that Oom was searching for a good memory but wanted it to be with May. Her irrational mind may (haha..pun) have been trying to recreate the proposal but have May choose her. At least that's what I'm going with for now.

Which kind of answers a question I had during my initial watch, what did Oom take May to that river?

Don't ask me why this hit me when I saw NT swaying sadly on this cart. idk why.

I remember seeing discussions at the time about Oom having Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). That never made 100% sense to me. More like 75%. I could see it but, could not justify it with her past behavior. CPTSD makes perfect sense when you consider she might also have survivors guilt also. Especially considering this is the second fatal crash she has been able to walk away from. It also explains her selfishness in this moment and her ominous comment about the water. She probably thinks that her life is limited and thinks she could die at any moment. Forcing Ai to choose could have felt a bit like making a "dying wish".

Anyway TL;DR: I love this show!! You can tell that sooo much love, heart, care and, effort went into it. Oom had her reasons for forcing The Choice ™ and, I'm glad I did not write her off like I wanted to originally.

Tutorial - Week 7

Preparation Work

In preparation for this tutorial, we were supposed to start thinking about answers to the following question:

Should the government or government agencies collect and have access to your data for good purposes, or should citizens, .e.g you, have a right to privacy which stops them?

Personally, I think there needs to be a compromise on this issue; no level of identification would prevent many government systems from being able to run and would be a detriment to public safety. However too much surveillance becomes invasive and purely unnecessary - there becomes a point at which you know so much that it can be used as a means for control.

The funny thing about all these supplied articles is that I had pretty much read them all when they came out anyway, as I’m already pretty privacy-oriented. However I will summarise the events and some of my thoughts on them:

2019 - Facial recognition to replace Opal cards (link)

Discussed in a previous article (here) on biometrics

Basically use your face to represent your identity and charge you

2019 - AFR facial recognition (link)

Goes through the numerous benefits of biometrics including missing people, security, crime and ‘smart cities’

Highlights the significant potential for abuse - mass surveillance & privacy, identity theft, etc

2019 - Australians accept government surveillance (link)

Demonstrates how citizens are ‘on the fence’ regarding the benefits vs dangers of increasing levels of government surveillance (note the survey was only 100 people)

Any further surveillance measures will probably result in people taking steps to protect their privacy more

2018 - NSW intensifies citizen tracking (link)

NSW policie and crime agencies to use the “National Facial Biometric Matching Capability"

System contains passport photos, drivers licenses

Government claims there will be restraint in their usage (with regards to certain crimes) and stated the benefits to public safety and prevention of identity theft

2017 - Benefits of Surveillance (from ‘intelligence officials) (link)

Discusses the issue of ‘proportionality’ in surveillance - the ratio between the total data collected and the actual usage of this data by intelligence agencies

Two main types of intelligence - tactical which is targeted at certain individuals, where as strategic is more targeted at information dominance (gathering as much as possible)

Hard to assess effectiveness of surveillance programs - agencies often ‘cherry pick’ figures that support their arguments

Surveillance differences between citizens and foreigners - a distinction exists in the US on the permissible levels of surveillance due to their constitutional rights

2015 - Australian Metadata retention (link)

I remember this one at the time; George Brandis (the attorney general at the time) made an absolute mockery of explaining this one

Basically legislating the storage of the details of the endpoints of every internet and phone communication

Even though you don’t know the contents of a communication necessarily, you can still extract a lot of data from this information alone

Main concerns relating to who would be able to access this information and how can the government secure it

2013 - Need for government surveillance (link)

Basically justifying the need for extended surveillance of citizens due to “new threat” of “home-grown” terror

With all these articles, I sort of understand the need for governments to update their surveillance capabilities with regards to the new technology available. However, I think there should be restrictions in place regarding this and constant transparent assessment of their effectiveness regarding the claims they make for their ‘necessity’.

Tutorial

I think Jazz was right in saying how ‘cooked’ we all were in the week 7 tutorial; honestly I can barely remember what even happened. I remember him going through and cracking the ‘blind’ buffer overflow challenge which was pretty cool. Basically he did a dump of the assembly code and searched for the win function; this was so we could get the address.

 Then we could feed in a long string using cyclic (such that every 4 bytes is unique) which would cause a segmentation fault. This is because it is attempting to jump to an invalid (or not permitted) address; the fault message will display the address it faulted on which we can convert back to a set of 4 characters. This will give us the index in the string that the return address occurs at - we can then just dump the address of the win function we found earlier. Now hopefully in an exam the buffer wouldn’t be too far from the return address, however if it is it might be worth learning up how to write a quick program in Python to calculate the De Bruijn sequence for a set of characters!

We also went through some of the questions from the exam. I got the opportunity to go through and explain to the class how to determine the key length in question 12 of the mid-sem. You basically use a technique known as ‘Kasiski examination’; this involves searching for repeated phrases in the ciphertext and counting the distance between them. Then you are able to determine that the key word length must be a factor of this distance. If  you repeat it enough times (in particular I was looking at the ‘GAD’ and ‘GAZ’ phrases in the text) you are able to ascertain that the keyword length must be 6. (3 was technically possible, but just ‘more unlikely’)

There were some other interesting on-the-spot talks in class regarding security. Someone discussed how you can intercept all the packets on a network with an appropriate network adapter (or if you can get your card in ‘monitor mode’); (I think @comp6841lanceyoung​) some of the implications from this are interesting. Another person gave a brief overview of how we can interpret an image to train an AI to break CAPTCHAs (@raymondsecurityadventures​). The final one (@azuldemontana) gave a quite funny analogy of how eating Heinz Fiery Mexicans Beans for lunch is basically the same as using open-source software - you would only eat things that you know the ingredients, so why do we use closed source so much if we don’t know whats happening?

We sorta got distracted with so many other random security things we didn’t actually leave that much time for the actual case study. Basically what we did was brainstorm all the pieces of data we might consider are connected to our identity: name, address, phone no., social security, tax number, browsing history, message & call logs, location history, relationship history, etc. Then we went through each of them and debated as a class whether or not we thought the government should be allowed to collect and store this information.

I actually found it quite funny that people were arguing against the government having something basic like an address. There generally always comes a point in our lives where things outside our control happen that require government intervention and not knowing where you live makes it quite difficult for them to inform you or provide assistance. It might be about letting you know about changes to legislation, local building works, death of a loved one; not necessarily just about chasing up a crime.

I think that the major issue that civilians have against the government collecting this data boils down to two main issues. The first is misuse - that is, from the data being easily accessible across all government agencies without much evidence of a crime being committed. It also encompasses our mistrust in the government being able to store this data securely - if the data was leaked it may be used for identity theft, blackmail, etc and could haunt you for years. The second problem closely links to this and is the retention period - how long is it really necessary for them to keep this data for law enforcement purposes? You have to remember the longer it is kept the more prone it may be to misuse (i.e. hacked); I personally think a shorter retention period would probably make people less concerned.
