    Correct, but 5 is the most handy one because there you get a decent UI toolbar ;-)

    In MacOS:

    • Press cmd+shift+5 to open up the screenshot toolbar, then when clicking options you can decide to store the screenshot to clipboard, preview, desktop, etc.

    • Swiping up with 3 (or four) fingers will give you all open windows, but swiping down will give you only the windows of that app

    • When you're on a website and click upload, the file picker is showing, while that is open you can drag-and-drop any file from your finder right into there and it will navigate to that place in the filepicker

    • Press cmd+space, hold cmd, then press 4, now you see your clipboard history (if feature is activated)

    • Spread out with five fingers anywhere to reveal your desktop, do the opposite to revert

    • In finder you can quickly swipe with three fingers left and right to go previous or next. For that you need to go to trackpad settings -> more gestures -> "swipe between pages". The tricky part is that in finder it only works with "three fingers", go figure... :-D It also then will work in browsers, it's faster then the two fingers gesture because it's without animation.

    Oh I see, this makes more sense to me now. So basically, we can assume that their "sandbox" is not really a good sandbox, and also that we can't be sure how impressive the "hack" was.

    I read that, but 'sandboxed environment' is a little bit vague. :-)

    I assume HuggingFace performs benchmark testing using containerized versions of the LLMs? So the model was able to 'escape' the container? I'm not following here.
    Also, is this an incredible feat or just a lucky find (stolen credentials)?

    Fair point. But in a way, a lot of people directly (or indirectly) work for big corporations with dubious intentions/moral standards. I'm thinking of fossil fuel companies, banks (not all), insurance companies, gambling platforms, big tobacco, etc.

    What I'm trying to say is that maybe it's just a trait of humanity itself, and not just tech. We think we don't do harm by just being a cog in the wheel, but in reality we are attributing though.

    That's pretty hardcore, and you get my respect for that. Google maps probably works so well, because of all the crowd-sourced data :\

    "but most of my online activity is hidden from them".

    Is it though? So you have a fully de-googled phone, don't use banking apps, don't play popular games, only use opensource LLMs, don't have a 365 account or whatever at work?

    All the points you're making are fair, but I feel that you're underestimating how much all corps already know about us. (Especially if you're in the US)

    If I'm wrong, and they actually have zero info on you, then I salute you, as it's not easy to workaround in the real world ;-)
