Advertising cigarettes to children would be more ethical than anything Kalshi is doing
This Kalshi ad is among the most dystopian ones I’ve seen from any betting app

I know we all had a lot to talk about with the @S1r1u5_ hacking OpenAI issue. But I feel like this part was under talked about. How the hell did they get Opus 5 to do RCE PoCs?! I can barely breathe the word cyber near Claude without getting guardrailed.

Some NPR podcasts started getting mysterious comments on Spotify. They made no sense to the staff reading them – until someone from a younger generation cracked the code. Hear the story: link.podtrac.com/phns92ui

Guards up devs! Especially in crypto spaces. Very prevalent attack here to get you to clone a GitHub repo during a job interview and it’s full of malware The fingers in front of the face is not foolproof as deepfakes aren’t always used.
Had an "interview" for a blockchain project last week. Camera was on, we're chatting, and the guy tells me to clone a GitHub repo and run it locally before we go further into the technical round. I said sure, but first can you do me a favor hold up 3 fingers in front of your face for me real quick. He froze. Didn't move. Just sat there for a few seconds before the call cut off and he blocked me. That's when I knew. A real interviewer doesn't glitch out over a random ask like that. A deepfake/AI overlay does. These "run this repo" scams are getting scary common in crypto and dev hiring right now. The setup is always the same: - flattering DM - real-sounding project - rushed timeline - a "quick step" before the call that's really just remote access or a credential stealer in disguise. If someone wants you to run code or install something before you've even had a real conversation, that's the whole scam. Trust the instinct. Stay safe out there.

Turned on ESPN for the first time in ages when I wasn’t in a hotel. Entire show dedicated to the hosts telling you what they think good bets to place on Draft Kings are this week. We’re so cooked.

How this scam works. Step 1: Come up with some half baked idea Step 2: Use Claude to vibe code a design some half working website Step 3: buy an old x account with some followers and make a promo with higgsfield Step 4: bull post with some bots until it catches on Step 5: share a contract address and rug pull Be aware

Yo, we all gotta talk bout ShinyHunters vs PeopleSoft So let met get this right.. 113 of you said lets pack HR, payroll, finance, procurement, supply chain, student records, employee identities, and every business process with a pulse all into one giant loot piñata with an ugly @Oracle logo stamped on it? Love me a place where their leadership finally discovers "mission critical" means too important to patch, too entangled to isolate, too expensive to replace, and too embarrassing to explain. Congratulations kings. You all running a Threat Actor Costco and gave ShinyHunters an executive membership.

timely. I wonder what news about Oracle PeopleSoft made some threat actors hone in on this vuln's capabilities???

I guess they are saying that the sextortionists were just pretending to be them? They are mad the FBI warned the public to watch out for this idk man. I feel like we've maybe lost the plot a bit.
