In Plan 9 in ~2001, we introduced "private" processes that even a sysadmin couldn't access, debug, etc. I just learned Windows Vista added the same in 2007.
The difference? We did it to protect keys held by the security agent, while Windows did it to protect media content.
Priorities! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Re OpenAI's disproof of an Erdos conjecture and the breathless coverage, I found this piece from April insightful about how mathematicians will likely need to adjust what they explicitly vs implicitly value.
