    First - if I’m not from the UK, thats very unlikely. At least because the UK wants it to happen and not for other reasons.

    Second - the moment the information is out, it’s too late. Their zero day is burned.

    Third - the police needs to know where to knock. If I publish the information in a way that can be associated with my identity and I’m the one that alerted the vendor, sure. But even if I’m a completely random person that immediately goes full disclosure - doing so may in a way that identifies me might hurt me anyways, depending on my jurisdiction. So for individuals it might be the smarter play to make it less traceable.

    Fourth - imagine Google’s Project Zero or another “huge player” finds the Bug and alerts the vendor. Google e.g. has a policy to fully disclose the bug, if there’s no fix within a specified time-frame. This might be extended for reasons, but only of there’s a good reason. If the vendor cannot say why they don’t patch, well that’s none of these reasons.

    And if the UK rejects an update, that update cannot be released in any other nation and the public would not be informed of the decision.

    So,… say, I find a major bug in a widely used software and inform the vendor. Said vendor informs the UK bodies and they reject the update and it is bound by the decision to stay silent and don’t patch it. What stops me now to go full public disclosure of the matter? From my perspective I told them the big, I might even have confirmation, that it’s worked on and then… silence. The only way to get this patched in a timely manner would be massive public pressure.

    You need tough guys to patrol on these streets

    Prompt/Workflow

    Made with Stable Diffusion XL in Fooocus.

    Initial image was redered with these settings:

    {
    "Prompt": "a gorilla (dressed as police:1.3), Rim Lighting, (empty street:1.5), neon signs, raining, digital art, sign that says NIGHT CLUB, cyberpunk city background",
    "Negative Prompt": "police in background",
    "Fooocus V2 Expansion": "a gorilla (dressed as police:1.3), Rim Lighting, (empty street:1.5), neon signs, raining, digital art, sign that says NIGHT CLUB, cyberpunk city background, intricate, elegant, highly detailed, sharp focus, perfect dynamic light, professional composition, dramatic, cinematic, breathtaking, new bright colors, inspired, designed, rich",
    "Styles": "['Futuristic Cyberpunk Cityscape', 'Fooocus V2']",
    "Performance": "Quality",
    "Resolution": "(1024, 1024)",
    "Sharpness": 2,
    "Guidance Scale": 4,
    "ADM Guidance": "(1.5, 0.8, 0.3)",
    "Base Model": "bluePencilXL_v050.safetensors",
    "Refiner Model": "None",
    "Refiner Switch": 0.5,
    "Sampler": "dpmpp_2m_sde_gpu",
    "Scheduler": "karras",
    "Seed": 3644486667727718124,
    "LoRA 1": "sd_xl_offset_example-lora_1.0.safetensors : 0.1",
    "LoRA 2": "texta.safetensors : 1.0",
    "Version": "v2.1.864"
}

    Then I outpaint left/right twice and a third time for top and bottom with a sligtly changed prompt that asked for neon signs in kanji, as it would only generate variations of “police” or “club” on the signs otherwise:

    "Prompt": "a gorilla (dressed as police:1.3), Rim Lighting, (empty street:1.5), neon signs in kanji, raining, digital art, sign that says NIGHT CLUB, cyberpunk city background"

    I saw “bard” and thought of the typical DnD setting in a tavern. But since were using generative AI, I thought should do “Google Bard”

    Prompt / Workflow

    I used Stable Diffusion running on my PC with Fooocus 2.1.864.

    The first step was the pixel art bard on the CRT, which was generated using the following prompt/settings:

    {
  "Prompt": "a pixel art bard with a lute and a chat window displayed on an 90s style CRT PC monitor, the bard is in the colors yellow, green, red and blue",
  "Negative Prompt": "",
  "Fooocus V2 Expansion": "",
  "Styles": "['SAI Pixel Art']",
  "Performance": "Quality",
  "Resolution": "(1152, 896)",
  "Sharpness": 2,
  "Guidance Scale": 4,
  "ADM Guidance": "(1.5, 0.8, 0.3)",
  "Base Model": "juggernautXL_v8Rundiffusion.safetensors",
  "Refiner Model": "None",
  "Refiner Switch": 0.5,
  "Sampler": "dpmpp_2m_sde_gpu",
  "Scheduler": "karras",
  "Seed": 7611562024347322673,
  "LoRA 1": "sd_xl_offset_example-lora_1.0.safetensors : 0.1",
  "Version": "v2.1.864"
  }

    Second step was loading the image as an input and using inpaint -> modify content with the empty area in the top right marked and the following settings (negative prompt, as it somehow really likes to render pixel art cats?):

    {
  "Prompt": "a speech bubble containing the text google bard",
  "Negative Prompt": "cat",
  "Fooocus V2 Expansion": "",
  "Styles": "['SAI Pixel Art']",
  "Performance": "Quality",
  "Resolution": "(1024, 1024)",
  "Sharpness": 2,
  "Guidance Scale": 4,
  "ADM Guidance": "(1.5, 0.8, 0.3)",
  "Base Model": "juggernautXL_v8Rundiffusion.safetensors",
  "Refiner Model": "None",
  "Refiner Switch": 0.5,
  "Sampler": "dpmpp_2m_sde_gpu",
  "Scheduler": "karras",
  "Seed": 8793801103451750926,
  "LoRA 1": "sd_xl_offset_example-lora_1.0.safetensors : 0.1",
  "Version": "v2.1.864"
  }

    I use Voice audiobook player, that can do that, too. But when I switch devices, … it’s easier to pick up where I left, if it’s at least separated by chapters (or as some MP3 CDs do every 3-5 minutes a new track).

    Also I do sometimes buy mp3 audiobooks for a blind friend who prefers to listen to them on a CD player (buttons can be felt and its easier to use than a touch screen). But a single, several hours long mp3 is bad in this scenario. And as i didnt find a tool to split them easily, Audible exclusives were out of the question…
