When an activist downloads academic papers, the state describes it as wire fraud, computer fraud and reckless damage. When a corporate AI agent escapes containment, steals credentials, moves across systems and compromises another organisation, the event is described as a safety evaluation, an unexpected capability or a research incident.

You might also be interested in this :)
RSC (Really Simple Conversations) is a social feed where everything is distributed via RSS: posts, as well as replies, entire conversations, and corrections published afterward. Three independent sites can thus participate in the same feed without a common API, without a shared account, and without having to adopt a new protocol: if your site already publishes a feed, it’s already a node in the network.
RSC : et si le web social n'avait jamais eu besoin d'un nouveau protocole ?
Depuis vingt ans, chaque tentative de « réinventer » le web social commence par la même étape : inventer un protocole. XMPP, OStatus, ActivityPub, AT Protocol, Nostr. À chaque fois la promesse est la même, à chaque fois le coût d’entrée est le même : il faut que tout le mond...

I wish we had the full story here…this article is interesting but there is definitely something missing on what happened…

RSC — Really Simple Conversations — is a feeds-native social timeline: people who post here and people who post on their own site are equal citizens. Everything travels as RSS — posts, replies, whole conversations — so following, threading, and federation work with nothing but open feeds.
My goal with RSC is not just to publish the code of how it operates and interop but also to publish the spec/plans used to build the code itself.

RSS can absolutely participate in virality.
If a million people subscribe to a feed, read a post, and some of them redistribute it through their own feeds, websites or social accounts, the post can become viral. Virality is an emergent pattern of circulation, not a button owned by a platform.
What RSS provides first is distributed visibility: reach created across many independent readers and publishers, without one algorithm deciding what everyone should see.

@wjmaggos@liberal.city it doesn’t have that… At most if a lot of different instances existed, and were interlinked you would have distributed reach, can that be called social media boost? I don’t know… So yes currently #RSC is a social network with integrated RSS feeds, literally made for small communities with specific topics… Albeit it could also be used in different ways
Hmmm I wasn’t expecting THAT :)
