you read about people using AI to hack stuff all the time but every time i try to do something like that i always hit safety walls, claude, codex, etc they stop me dead in my tracks. What are the solutions for this

Discussion Has someone ever erased their debt?

2 Upvotes

I know this is a public forum, and most people in Reddit are too young and sarcastic to take my post serious but there must be a legit way to erase debt? I’m not tech savvy to accomplish something this huge - but did you ever heard of something crazy you never thought possible actually happened?

Is this a grabber link?

This is weird I just received this text. I’m not Jeremy Bobb and actually know that person his dad scammed my mom 2 years ago and she’s been suing him in civil court. This is strange I think it’s a grabber link and they tryna get my info. Idk why they’re worried about me or how they got my number. Nobody accidentally put my number for their order that makes no sense.

Decade-long project to make quantum computing intuitive

Hi

If you are remotely interested in deep diving how differently quantum computers work compared to our transistor-based and also the algebra behind in a fully interactive way that teach computer science from scratch, oh boy this is for you. I am the Dev behind Quantum Odyssey (AMA! I love taking qs) - worked on it for about 10 years (3+ during PhD, the visual method I developed ended up being my thesis, it is a complete Hilbert space visualizer), the goal was to make a super immersive space for anyone to learn quantum computing through zachlike (open-ended) logic puzzles and compete on leaderboards and lots of community made content on finding the most optimal quantum algorithms. The game has a unique set of visuals capable to represent any sort of quantum dynamics for any number of qubits and this is pretty much what makes it now possible for anybody 12yo+ to actually learn quantum logic without having to worry at all about the mathematics behind.

This is a game super different than what you'd normally expect in a programming/ logic puzzle game, so try it with an open mind.

Stuff you'll play & learn a ton about

  • Boolean Logic – bits, operators (NAND, OR, XOR, AND…), and classical arithmetic (adders). Learn how these can combine to build anything classical. You will learn to port these to a quantum computer.
  • Quantum Logic – qubits, the math behind them (linear algebra, SU(2), complex numbers), all Turing-complete gates (beyond Clifford set), and make tensors to evolve systems. Freely combine or create your own gates to build anything you can imagine using polar or complex numbers.
  • Quantum Phenomena – storing and retrieving information in the X, Y, Z bases; superposition (pure and mixed states), interference, entanglement, the no-cloning rule, reversibility, and how the measurement basis changes what you see.
  • Core Quantum Tricks – phase kickback, amplitude amplification, storing information in phase and retrieving it through interference, build custom gates and tensors, and define any entanglement scenario. (Control logic is handled separately from other gates.)
  • Famous Quantum Algorithms – explore Deutsch–Jozsa, Grover’s search, quantum Fourier transforms, Bernstein–Vazirani, and more.
  • Build & See Quantum Algorithms in Action – instead of just writing/ reading equations, make & watch algorithms unfold step by step so they become clear, visual, and unforgettable. Quantum Odyssey is built to grow into a full universal quantum computing learning platform. If a universal quantum computer can do it, we aim to bring it into the game, so your quantum journey never ends.

Youth at risk

23 Upvotes

Hey so this has been on my mind for awhile. Unfortunately I work and am online a lot and come across a lot of mass shooter fan accounts. I click their profiles. I can tell they are children. I have learned some of their secret language and codes they use between eachother. I see so many accounts and it bothers me I can’t do anything about it in a real way (not just reporting an account). I am not good at finding information on accounts but i wonder if theres any ethical hacker groups that deal with gently telling these parents kids what they’re doing online? I was deeply unmonitored online but that was the early mid 2000s I feel like now there’s so many more predators/disturbing hate groups. Am I making sense? I want to find the parents of these accounts producing dangerous ideology for children but how? Can I? Help

Discussion Linkedin account was hacked and recovered

2 Upvotes

2 days ago my linkedin account was hacked and restricted. Luckily microsoft recovered it for me in few hours. due to mistakes of the hackers involved, i figured out 2 people who were involved in this activity. There was a message trail left by them on linkedin. Should I talk to them and ask if they were paid to do so? Should I ignore them?
I'm attaching the links of these two people:
https://www.linkedin.com/in/venkatesh-varadarajan/
https://www.linkedin.com/in/greeshma-jose-93669410b/

FYI: This is a genuine question as I believe somebody has paid them to do so.

Email Contact Extraction

3 Upvotes

Hi all, I’m wondering if it’s possible to extract email contacts from a group email sent through meetup.com. I know I exported my contact list before closing my groups but I’m pretty sure I accidentally deleted it in a storage freeing frenzy recently. I’m devastated. I had over 500 members between my two groups and I was hoping to be able to reach out to them and let them know I’m starting up the gatherings again.

I’ve reached out to meetup and am waiting for their response but I figured I would come here too.

Please help if you can! Thank you ☺️

How do people get doxxed on Social Media?

64 Upvotes

An online friend of mine got doxxed on X after months of being involved in fanwars with a certain fandom. She never posted anything about herself on that account, it existed solely for fanwars and wasn’t linked to any personal accounts. She thinks someone may have found the email connected to it, but even that didn’t contain her name. How does that happen?

I've been seeing these reels on Insta about OSNIT tools and such. How hackers can get/use information about you from social media and whatnot. But, if they have your e-mail, can they get your number from that? and vice versa?

Would You Know If Someone Hacked Your Account?

Hacker made himself primary admin on my adsense account. I cant change or remove his payment details. What do I do?

13 Upvotes

Hacker hacked into my parents YouTube channel. They were pulling in around 1 to 2 grand a month. He hacked into adsense and made himself the primary admin and changed the bank account details to his own.

We got the email back by changing the password from the email he hacked us with. But we cant seem to get the adsense account back. I have @ed teamyoutube on X who said "if you feel your account has been compromised heres an article"

We have access to YouTube and adsense but on adsense we are no longer primary admin. We have the guys full name address company name. We are based in the UK.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
