The OpenAI/Crusoe post by "Michael Su" is more than likely fake, and I've reached out to OpenAI to confirm. Image comes up as deepfaked in a scanner (questionable reliability but it's a data point), his URL is "michaelsermon" on LinkedIn, can't find history for him at any company he worked at.
We are aware of recent reports regarding targeted phishing attacks that have resulted in account takeovers of some Signal users, including government officials and journalists. We take this very seriously. 1/7
"This probably sounds like nightmare fuel to many, but to wealthy VCs and AI and crypto entrepreneurs it’s the next gold rush." is the quote of our time

Wake up, babe, new fresh horrors await.
“Congress has not done its job on the legal safeguards,” Senator Slotkin, a Democrat from Michigan, told me. “There are a number of senators who’ve taken a look at this but there seems to be no will to move forward because No. 1, people don’t understand A.I., but because, No. 2, we’ve seen the entry of really big political money tied to A.I. Just like the crypto space, a lot of senators are scared to stick their neck out even though action is being demanded of us on this issue.”
These PACs have already spent heavily to influence the outcome of multiple Congressional races.

"We've seen the entry of really big political money tied to A.I. Just like the crypto space, a lot of senators are scared to stick their neck out..."
Fascinating comment on AI regulation from Elissa Slotkin of all people, who received $10M — the second-most support — from crypto PACs in 2024.

Wow -- as first spotted by @BadFoxGraphics on X, Fox & Friends this morning used *old footage of a previous dignified transfer* to mislead their audience about the fact that Trump wore a baseball cap during the one yesterday

southwest airlines brought a SWAT team on board to forcibly remove a passenger over a perceived bomb threat but it turns out he’s just muslim and all he was doing was praying komonews.com/news/nation-...
We found that 11 of Trump’s DOT appointees disclosed between $12 million and $52 million in stock holdings and other financial interests in airlines, railroads, oil and gas corporations, transportation technology firms and other related businesses.

I’m not a cryptographer… but this seems bad?
guys I love you but I didn't ask, it's my list not your list
I am writing a list of the 50 best things Britain has brought the world for my newsletter and so far the items are "the scotch egg", "mini skirts" and "Geoff Dyer"

Just when there were signs the UK economy was turning a corner, Trump does something else to absolutely fuck it. And then he has the gall to question whether we're a good ally.
A massive data center that would’ve been powered by a 1.4GW natural gas plant was rejected in Alberta over a lack of public consultation and significant problems with its application.
“Even masks are becoming difficult to find. This is a huge mistake. I ask those who have the ability, especially foreign media, to reflect on this situation. What are people supposed to do under these conditions? This is truly a crime against humanity.”
You are mistaken, we do not respond to legal requests from anywhere other than the Swiss authorities.
It is unlikely that one could build a business through ignoring the laws of the jurisdiction that it is in. The mail provider you're moving to included.
It is true that Proton is located in Switzerland and responded to a legal request from the Swiss authorities. But it is also true that most people do not know what an MLAT is and there is a widespread misunderstanding that using Proton will protect your account from US govt requests.
"The limitations of this approach are obvious when looking at this malware fleet. We observed an instance where a basic Go binary was deployed to steal browser credentials, but developers left a template placeholder where the command and control URL should have been."
I've been expecting to see this shift for a while and it is interesting to see it actually starting to happen.
In honor of International Women’s Day, here is an interview with Virginia Postrel, the author of the book:
«The Fabric of Civilization:
How Textiles Made the World»
When we loose the history of women, we loose the history of humanity.
want to follow the news but can't bear thinking about ordinary Iranians, who've been stuck under such an oppressive regime for so long, who maybe got a flicker of hope, briefly, a few months ago, then watched in horror as their friends and relatives got killed by the state, and now this, unspeakable
as long term followers will know, I really enjoy using my film camera to essentially fake double exposure shots by taking pictures of the inside of cars through their windows, ideally on sunny days, and isn't this most recent one just wonderfully funky:
This is a great shot! Well deserving of a frame!
Remember when Putin called the invasion of Ukraine a «special military operation»?
