The opsec of the people who eventually get indicted is always terrible. If you wanted to exfiltrate source code or docs, why the heck would you use the victim's own cloud storage product? You would just point a camera at your display and scroll through the desired materials, or use HDMI capture, or something along those lines.

#92So he was already CEO/CTO of 2 China companies while still working in google. And these information are publicly available right after he registering them. Seems a management disaster of google.
> What is Article 7 of the Chinese Intelligence law? > Article seven says in part that “All organizations and citizens shall support, assist, and cooperate with national intelligence efforts in accordance with law, and shall protect national intelligence work secrets they are aware of. And that's just a nice wording to make it official, russians don't have anything similar yet they keep bribing small and big people a…

#93Good time to post this article again: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/z4MDDwwnWKnv2ZzdK/the-agi-ra... China understands there is a real risk of the US gaining an absolute advantage in A[G]I development. It shouldn't surprise anyone that they will use all kinds of 'greyzone methods' to bridge this gap.
Skimming through it I was confused. - No homegrown semiconductor industry: isn’t the recent hand-wringing over the new Huawei chips proof of the opposite? - No interest in training LLMs? Is that true? I thought Baidu was already on it? In fact at every major AI conferences, Chinese R&D groups like Baidu and Ant group are major participants (and sponsors). I am talking about conferences like NeurIPS and AAAI, which bo…
They're major participants and sponsors because they're definitely behind, and they're trying to rectify that.

How exactly do we “vastly” benefit from Chinese migration and how can we weigh that benefit against the cost of espionage?

This is a parody account. That’s a joke. The next Tweet in the timeline is a joke that the person hasn’t been at standup for a couple days and she doesn’t know why. I’m amazed that this obvious satire is the top voted comment for so long.
It's currently a 11 minute old comment, for what it's worth. HN doesn't have the traffic of something like Reddit, it takes a bit longer to change. But I'm not sure the account is a parody - it's certainly very trolly, but it does seem to be this person's real account based on LinkedIn, her Instagram, her website www.anamostarac.com, and others. Seems like a real person and their real account but according to other information not a Google employee.
Oh and of course she's got a blue check which is a 100% guarantee that it's not an impersonator. /s

You expect Google to scan the database of companies in every country continuously to see if employees are executives of them? How would this handle different people who have the same name? Disclosure: I work at Google.

>And same-name conflicts can be handled case by case.
How? Several times I've had to contact someone within Google whose name I know, but when I go to look up the person's email, there are multiple employees with that name. This is just within Google. Think of within an entire country.
