FDD Uncovers Likely Chinese Intelligence Operation That Began More Than 3 Years Ago The authors would like to thank Julien Fagel for his contributions to this research while he was an intern at FDD’s Center on Cyber and Technology Innovation..; β€œForesight and Strategy Consulting Ltd....

This is classic modern espionage. Instead of dark alleys and dead drops, recruitment now starts with a LinkedIn style job post. Fake consulting firms are an easy way for intelligence services to spot people with government access. #China #Espionage #Counterintelligence

Astonishing that we were listening to the same thing and went through the same first term and January 6 and we all thought this was going to be a shit show but not the Bank of America??

Cryptocurrency backed by Farage donor is used for Russian war effort, investigators say Tether tokens found to facilitate scheme that enables sanctions evasion and launders money for the Kremlin

James: Christopher Harborne doesn't just "have links" to cryptocurrency. He's one of the biggest investors in "Tether", which is a stablecoin Nazi Nigel has shilled for a while now.

Reuters confirmed that the elementary school in the Iranian city of Minab was bombed TWICE by the US military, 40 minutes apart.

This was intentional.

They did not "accidentally" drop two bombs 40 mins apart,
Killing 168 children and 14 teachers.

The choices universities and colleges make about AI are political Ahead of this week's Digifest, Michael Webb and Rebecca Flook confront the complex values systems behind general purpose AI technology

'The systems now being woven into education are shaped by a remarkably small group of people. Not β€œthe internet” as the source of training material. Not β€œsociety” influencing the way we use these tools.'

Fascinating that this comes from within Jisc. 1/3

Also,
Normalise shaming your American friends who don’t stand up for democracy and community on their social media. If you’re an American you don’t get to play coy and sit on the fence.

This isn’t a hallucination, Michael Gove. You’ve never explained the millions you disbursed to buddies with your crony Covid Contracts.

Cashing in on the worst public health crisis in a century should disbar people from public life permanently.

Make no mistake: the AI boom, and data center construction it requires, is nothing more than a massive giveaway to Big Tech oligarchs at the expense of our environment and our states’ public resources.

Our leaders should put communities before Big Tech's bottom lines.

This is one result of the 7-year-long, Β£10 million Chilcot Inquiry: a comprehensive, detailed & crucial guide to avoiding another disastrous war like Iraq. You can understand why Tony Blair ignores its lessons, but every other warmonger in the UK?

Unlike some others, I strongly support public inquiries (and gave evidence in person to COVID inquiry). But only if we learn from them. We @independentsage.bsky.social showed many COVID failures due to forgetting Philips inquiry into BSE. Now history repeating itself with Chilcot πŸ‘‡
