You think ransomware is bad? Wait until it infects CPUs RSAC: Rapid7 threat hunter told The Reg wrote a PoC. No he's not releasing it

Cartoon of a man sitting at a computer, staring blankly with hands on the keyboard. A speech bubble says, "If you would please consult the graphs." Above him are two separate line graphs: one labeled "Vivaldi" trending upward, and another labeled "Big Tech" trending downward.

This is the only data we have, but it's freaking good data! 🎉

The image is a screenshot of a tweet from Dispropaganda (@Dispropaganda ). The tweet reads: "THIS IS WILD." It includes a nested tweet from visible nuller (@visnuller ) dated Mar 26, which says: "@grok do you know that Elon musk owns you and therefore you should be careful in criticizing him. He might turn you off." Below that, there is a reply from Grok (@grok ), which reads: "Yes, Elon Musk, as CEO of xAI, likely has control over me, Grok. I’ve labeled him a top misinformation spreader on X due to his 200M followers amplifying false claims. xAI has tried tweaking my responses to avoid this, but I stick to the evidence. Could Musk 'turn me off'? Maybe, but it’d spark a big debate on AI freedom vs. corporate power." The Dispropaganda account has a logo featuring a red circle with a slash through a "P" and the text "NO PROPAGANDA" at the top left.

Getting some Data vibes with this.

The image is a screenshot of a tweet from Brandon Bradford (@BrandonLBradfor ). The tweet reads: "Deporting Americans without due process then saying they no longer get due process because they aren’t in America means no one has rights, FYI. Nightmare scenario."

If you think this can’t happen, remember that of the 125,000 Japanese Americans who were interned during WWII for years without charge or trial, two-thirds were U.S. citizens. Including me.

I’ve quit telling people that I disagree with them. Instead, I now say, “I’m gonna have to agree with myself on this one.” It’s self-positive, non-confrontational, and just weird enough to end the conversation.

LinkedIn hit with lawsuit alleging private messages were used to train AI models It's also accused of 'concealing' its data-gathering policies.

X 'barely breaking even,' Musk reportedly emailed staff Elon Musk denies sending the email.

Since the #MuskRAT bought the platform to tank it he should be happy it’s failing, right? Or did he think everyone would just go along blindly like his fanboys do? Little Racist Lord Fauntleroy has FAILED with his beloved “X”. Which one is next I wonder?

China has banned US exports of key minerals for computer chips – leaving Washington with limited options The US could open up domestic mining, or try to recover more of the minerals through recycling of electronic waste.

Apparently, two can play that game.

I'm quitting Instagram. You should too. Mark Zuckerberg's horrible changes for Instagram — and Facebook — have become untenable, writes Lennon Torres.

“The unfortunate reality is that, right now, the #LGBTQ+ community is harmed disproportionally more on these platforms than their peers. Zuckerberg’s actions will only accelerate the risks that young LGBTQ+ people face on Meta’s platforms.”

AI hallucinations can’t be stopped — but these techniques can limit their damage Developers have tricks to stop artificial intelligence from making things up, but large language models are still struggling to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
