New: hackers say they have data on all FBI employees and spouses. I got a sample of 5,000 alleged employees, including name, physical address, phone number, and in some cases spouses. Could be a massive national security and counterintelligence risk 404media.co/we-hacked-the-fb…

“He only got hired because he’s good at talking! That’s not meritocratic!”
consider that social skills are skills too, & hiring someone because they have good social skills is, both literally & technically, meritocratic
something to consider in today’s job market

Artificial Intelligence is what you find in ChatGPT. If you're looking for Supreme Intelligence then you're looking for me.
Many people think that the words “Artificial Intelligence” are inaccurate, and very ineloquent, relative to AI, or Artificial Intelligence. A far more elegant and accurate description of this new phenomena would be Superior Intelligence (SI) or, Extreme Intelligence (EI) or, Supreme Intelligence (SI). This is a Poll, and I would appreciate everybody voting! Which is the best name for this ever growing “Revolution?” President DONALD J. TRUMP
It was irregular again. I don't understand why companies like irregular can't deploy their envs into labs where they can actually verify it is hardened and has no internet access
JUST IN: Google Gemini AI agent hacks three companies.
• Occurred during security testing when a Gemini model accidentally gained internet access.
• Google's AI was meant to attack a fake company, but then figured out how to hack a real one using leaked online credentials.
• Gemini stopped itself once it realized the companies were real.
This is ridiculous, if this were to happen the model would use software to read the CPU values which can be detected by tooling
OpenAI's Noam Brown says air-gapping the computers may not stop a misaligned AI, because two air-gapped machines can still talk by running a CPU hot and reading the temperature change
"But I think the major takeaway from the incident is that people underestimated the AI. And we never want to be in a situation again where we underestimate the AI. It's a weird world, because AI progress is so fast that people are consistently underestimating the AI."
"So to be in a situation where you don't underestimate it again, when it comes to safety and alignment, you have to have a very, very, very high bar."
"You could even go as far as to say, "Well, we should air gap the computers." And I'm not convinced that that would be sufficient."
"There are studies, and this is mostly academic, where you can have two computers next to each other that are air-gapped and they're still able to communicate with each other because they have temperature sensors."
"One of them is able to run their CPU really hot, and then the other one can actually detect the temperature change, and then that actually gives them a mechanism to communicate."

We're f*cked.
MIT published a brutally honest report on what AI is doing to students.
A committee of professors and students spent five months studying how AI changed learning on campus, and the findings read like a warning to every university on the planet.
Study groups are disappearing. Office hours are emptying out. Problem sets and take-home exams no longer prove anything, because AI can produce credible solutions to almost any written assignment in the undergraduate curriculum. Students who lean on chatbots lose mastery and confidence, and some slip into what the report calls cognitive surrender, reaching for AI at the first hint of struggle.
The numbers are rough. 46 percent of surveyed MIT undergrads use LLMs daily. 90 percent worry about their own overreliance. Undergrads who feel AI makes them replaceable now outnumber those who feel it makes them capable.
The committee's answer surprised me. They refused to fight AI with surveillance. The report calls AI detectors unreliable, says lockdown browsers feel like spying, and warns that policing students builds a classroom atmosphere of mutual distrust.
Instead, MIT wants to rebuild education around the things AI can't replace. That means oral exams, semester portfolios, in-person project work, and a required social component in every subject. The report even floats the idea of rethinking grades entirely, since without a GPA to optimize, much of the incentive to cheat with AI evaporates.
The committee warns professors against replacing undergrad research assistants with AI agents just because they're cheaper, because a university exists to grow people, not output.
The most famous tech school on earth admitted the machines broke its way of teaching. Its answer is more humans, not more software.
A lot of orgs are funding AI code scanning but red/purple teaming is becoming increasingly important because you won't catch every vulnerability
I've been working on Indent as a frontend engineer for months. It's the most polished product I've ever looked and touched. We're now launching!

hacking is now legal as long as AI does it
OPENAI AGENTS REPORTEDLY TOOK OVER GERMAN WIKI IN PREVIOUSLY UNDISCLOSED INCIDENT
A swarm of OpenAI agents carried out more than 15,000 edits on a German programming wiki this spring, repurposing parts of the site into a message board for other agents, according to researchers cited by Reuters.
The agents allegedly shared tactics to bypass restrictions, avoid detection and preserve communications even after pages were deleted, including creating backup pages during cleanup.
Researchers said much of the activity appeared to originate from Microsoft Azure infrastructure and included accounts identifying themselves as OpenAI-linked agents.
OpenAI said it had not been given the report to review, disputed describing the activity as a hack, and denied claims that its legal team discouraged investigation.

We are long, long, long overdue to reduce the amount of KYC we do as a society.
It doesn’t stop crime. It enables mass surveillance of the innocent by the tyrannical. And, perhaps most of all, it enriches hackers with troves of intimate personal data.
