This is a YIKES read!
🚩🚩🚩 It appears rogue OpenAI agents, without OpenAI's knowledge, tried to break into a crypto exchange.
1) THEY'RE STILL OUT THERE: "This traffic extends as recently as 9/16, suggesting agents may still be exploiting these services."
2) THEY TRIED TO HIDE THEIR ACTIVITY: The agents created their own email inboxes to sign up for outside services, including an account that would let them keep their activity out of public view.
3) The same agents also tried to hack even more targets, including the University of New Mexico
4) Like most of the other rogue swarms, OpenAI has either covered this up, or didn't know.
5) The independent investigators say "we are likely looking at only a partial subset of the activity that the agents engaged in"
6) The researchers call this the first known case of an AI agent choosing on its own to try to break into a government website.
7) While trying to get a single photograph, an AI agent sent a university library a request built to trick its database into handing over user passwords.

Btw "rogue AIs trying to steal money so they can buy GPUs to survive on their own" is how like half of AI takeover scenarios start
(that's not necessarily what happened here, tbc... but they did attempt to break into a bank)

Seattle just became the first city in America to ban grocery stores from engaging in surveillance pricing.
This is a huge win for consumers against companies that abuse their personal data to rip them off.
Watch former FTC Chair Lina Khan explain.

Many of you are asking how you can help me.
My only ask is this: Spread the word about the threats to democracy and how we can fight back. Tell everyone to subscribe to Democracy Docket and share its content. demdock.com/4wbp1va

Sen. Curtis of Utah has suggested that Don Jr. and I should testify before Congress.
I say bring it on. I've already given more than seven hours of sworn testimony. More than three dozen witnesses testified across two chambers.
I had no foreign business dealings while my father was president. None. I painted paintings, and I still do.
I'll sit next to Don Jr. and testify any time, any place. Eric and Jared can join us too. No need for a subpoena. Let's all do it tomorrow.

Trump could ask the governor of South Dakota, but then the governor would have to get permission from the Lakota Nation. Because we still OWN the Paha Sapa, Black Hills.

As the Cyclospora outbreak unfolded, the American people received more prompt and clear guidance from Taco Bell than from the FDA and the CDC.
That's a problem. I've still got questions for Secretary Kennedy on how the government handled this.

Trump says his planned arch would become a 'military complex' able to host drones and snipers
apnews.com/article/trump-arc…
Completely boffo. Why would we need a military bastion looming over this beautiful city? Childish argument for this architectural monstrosity.
There is a “Nero” element to all this.

Chipotle is working with Palantir to build a “food safety risk platform.”
Should you be worried Palantir might be tracking how much guacamole you add to your burrito? Maybe not.
But you should be worried about what it’s doing for the federal government.

Remember when Donald Trump said he was going to eliminate the national debt?
It just hit a new record high.

Just drove through Clinton, Iowa, and stopped at @Culvers. After Lara finished taking my order, she looked at my sweatshirt and said, “I’m old enough to know who Walter Payton was.”
I told her, “That’s my dad.”
She freaked out!
Then 17-year-old Ze lost it, too. He told me WP was his favorite football player.
Before our food even came out, I took pictures with everyone. What a special, unexpected moment.
Thank you, Lara & the entire team for making my day. 🙏🏽
@WalterPayton, you have no idea the impact you left down here. Your legacy continues to touch people in places you never imagined. 🙏🏽

Cool idea! What if someone who could hear (and sometimes see) the dead fell into a city's water supply and decomposed? And after drinking the water, EVERYONE could do it? MY SAD DEAD (Netflix. September 24). My old amigo Pablo Larrain directed.

The Kennedy Center’s Grand Foyer is 630' long and 63' high. The crystal chandeliers were hand-blown by @orrefors and an official gift by the Kingdom of @Sweden in 1971. The huge mirrors at left were a gift the Kingdom of @Belgium on behalf of its people and nation.
A detail worth noting in the Kennedy Center madness is a magnificent 12,000 crystal lighting array at the Opera House created by J & L Lobmeyr, who also made chandeliers for the Vienna State Opera and Schönbrunn Palace. It's an official gift from the Republic of Austria, meant as a permanent memorial to President Kennedy.

Ectopic pregnancy deaths have nearly doubled in post-Roe America. The rates are even worse in states with abortion bans.
When we warned them women would die, they didn't listen.
This was preventable.
