A report from @npub1vc3…axsh shows that, other opinions to the contrary, tech industry insiders don't see substantial evidence that LLMs are writing new cybercrime code, the criminals are merely using AI to perform existing crime models faster and more effectively. He's just updated and freely shared his reporting:
XBOW's latest guide - drawn from an RSA panel with CISO Nico Waisman, hacker
and CISO Jason Haddix, and OpenAI's Dave Aitel - makes the argument that AI
isn't inventing new attacks.
AI is making the old attacks faster, cheaper, and easier to run at scale. They
discuss what that means for the cybersecurity industry and three concrete
steps that you should take.

Despite the ceasefire, Israel resumes bombing entire residential blocks in Gaza, displacing dozens of families
> On May 24, Karam Ismael, 43, received a phone call from someone who identified himself as an Israeli army officer. The caller delivered one message: evacuate your home in 20 minutes before we bomb it. At first, he thought it was another scare tactic, similar to the messages the Israeli army used to send during incursions into neighborhoods. It was one of several calls made to residents of Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, with a warning that covered residential blocks near al-Quds Supermarket and a local UNRWA clinic. The area included dozens of homes that had not previously been bombed throughout the past two years... Four minutes after receiving his first call, Ismael’s phone rang again. The officer told him they had 10 minutes left, ordering him to evacuate immediately and to notify his neighbors. This time, he took the threat seriously and fled with his neighbors, leaving his belongings behind... After half an hour, quadcopter drones appeared and hovered above the residential block, followed by the fighter jets. The entire block was leveled.
I don't think this is a war crime, because in no universe could you call the daily atrocities like this being conducted by the US-Israel military terror state, a "war". Certainly they're crimes against humanity. Obviously not everyone gets out alive or unmaimed so, it's patently mass-murder. Wholesale elimination of brown people. Genocide, perpetuating genocide, with impunity.

Millions More Americans Uninsured After Lapse Of Premium Subsidies
Immediately after this year's midterm elections, Medicaid and much of Medicare will effectively cease to exist, and thousands will quite quickly die, emergency rooms and shelters will fill with old people, and whatever is left of the national economy is going to tank — particularly rapidly if the Medicaid tax-credits to states, which fund the marketplaces and which were senselessly clawed back by Society's nontaxpaying parasitic billionaires, are not somehow restored.

> ...From now on, the only images coming out of Pentagon briefings will be taken by the Pentagon itself, because the way to accomplish government transparency means the government controls every picture of the government... This might seem petty. But it’s actually something worse. Photography matters because it captures what officials cannot control. A photograph can contradict a press release. It can show fatigue, tension, or the uncomfortable truth that events are not going according to plan. That’s exactly why governments throughout history have tried to control images during wartime. It’s a war against reality...

The things nobody tells you. I had no idea really what I needed to back up and what I did not, or which things I would be unable to copy and restore from the old phone to the new one. Then, whether I could get GrapheneOS installed before using the Pixel.
Turns out that while the phone shipped carrier-agnostic ("unlocked") I have to wait until I own the phone free and clear for 40 days (I paid in full) before my service provider will send an unlock code to my SIM (eSIM, now) to allow access to the bootloader, as required to flash the alternative OS (security-focused GrapheneOS in my case, I think, or it could be the privacy/usability/deGoogled CalyxOS, or any of a number of others. They each require unlocking the bootloader. Who knew?)
Anyhow I still have a month before I can take the dive and meanwhile, I'm fighting with the particularly invasive Android bundle that ships with Google Pixel and its myriad settings, all antiprivacy-by-default.
And I had to have a lengthily awkward conversation with the service provider about how eSIMs already allow freedom of movement over international borders and rooting the phone would void warranties and what-not, and we mutually danced as I evaded the screening questions by asserting I needed to travel across multiple borders in the developing world while testing specialized SIM-swapping software for my employers.
STILL not as much of a nightmare as trying to get repair for an in-warranty, insured, failing & unusable OnePlus device, very sadly.

Please put us in touch with whatever serious organization is agitating for repeal/revocation of the entire — and entirely fraudulent — “Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001”. There are no yellowcake & aluminum nuclear-enrichment tools in Iraq, and while that virtually annexed country provides geographic access for the imminent Iranian oil-plunder invasion by the US' #abrahamAccord, it never had alliance with IS, never bore any responsibility for the Saudi hijacking attack against the USA. The Patriot Act was a fraud and remains so. It has created massive global and domestic-boomerang insecurity; it is about to propel the US into the most existentially dangerous war in history, not including the current ongoing war by the plutocratic administration against the US Public. The Immigration and Customs Enforcement squad was tasked with disrupting additional hijacker cells operating in the US, not abducting and summarily executing people asserting rights, as they must do. Who is even asking for, let alone demanding, Patriot Act's dissolution? #abolishICE

The #healthcare plan already funded by the Public has been scuttled with NO replacement. The tax credits to states - also already paid for by the Public - which fund hundreds of programs that have provided #health & #medical services to tens of thousands of people, were taken and given away by #Congress - largely by donors to the Senate Minority Leader and House Speaker, with a few vague promises to negotiate some scraps back, all now evidently broken. At the end of 2025 the so-called Private #Insurance Industry was greenlighted massive increases to premiums and the associated payments of co-insurance & deductibles. The 2026 budget will scrap virtually all of #Medicaid and most of #Medicare right after this year's midterm #elections. Particularly in rural areas, upward of 40% of hospital revenues come from Medicaid reimbursements which will abruptly cease. HUNDREDS OF HOSPITALS NATIONWIDE are likely to shut down and, in some areas, nearly all will sharply reduce critical services like primary care, emergency rooms, OB/GYN, pharmacy, dialysis, and pediatrics. Many of these particular services will be consolidated to other #hospitals far away with no transportation provided. Thousands will die, tens of thousands will be impoverished, as a direct result. A national #economic failure is more than merely likely. And without good cause; only to crush the Public and to transfer away the remains of its #wealth - our #savings, our #investments - for #redistribution to the untaxed parasites who create nothing, to further ensure that their next six generations will be exempted from the Social Compact.

I'm sorry... I'm really sorry... I know that at a tech event, you expect to hear from a speaker who will come up and tell you how to lose hundreds of billions of dollars building data-centres for the money-losingest technology in human history, a technology so wildly defective that we've had to come up with new, exotic words to describe its defects, like "hallucination." A technology that will never recoup the capex already firehosed on – let alone the trillions committed to it – and whose only possible path to glory is to somehow get so good that it makes millions of people unemployed... But don't worry: you can't make the word-guessing program into a "superintelligence" by shoveling more words into it...

Jesus Freakin Congress on Instagram: "In the video, the family is heard calling the police for help, saying ICE agents followed the man for about 30 minutes. When he reached his home, he ran inside. An agent then opened fired toward the house, hitting him in the leg. Let’s be clear about what that means. Law enforcement is not allowed to use lethal force just because someone runs. Law enforcement is not allowed to fire toward an occupied home. Law enforcement is not allowed to seize someone inside their home without a judicial warrant, absent extremely narrow circumstances. This shot was fired in the direction of a house with children inside. This was not a split-second traffic stop. This was not an imminent threat to anyone inside that home. If families are calling the police because federal agents are firing toward their house, the question isn’t whether this is normal. The question is how much longer the government will keep violating the Constitution before someone else is killed."

There are agitators being recruited from neighboring states throughout the midwest region to do crimes that might be blamed on the local citizens who are not taking the bait. Instead they are doing what good citizenship calls upon each of us to do, which is to resist the violence that the Trump Nazis in DC, along with those activated by the terror state, are bringing to local communities.

Citing "serious ethical concerns," journal retracts key Monsanto Roundup safety study
An inherently dangerous product - and product system - that has deleterious effects to all human, animal, and plant life on Earth. It works by injecting a genetic antidote to specified crops and then eventually killing everything else without any reliable means to prevent the toxic part - #glyphosate - from going everywhere. It's not "just a weed spray". Thousands have died and possibly tens of thousands permanently disabled or eventually-poisoned without knowing, with very specific oncology that can be identified in humans but isn't because we don't get tested for it.
Monsanto-Bayer has been getting away with it in large part because of a liability compartmentalization & management scheme that provides them virtual legal impunity; and the fraudulent "science" like this, for which they have paid lots of money. So it is a VERY big deal that this fake science has gotten retracted. Bayer will no doubt sue the fakescience/retractor publisher out of existence but that isn't the story.

A masked and heavily armed gang of whitenationalist mercenary thugs abducted a US citizen in the parking lot of a Los Angeles Home Depot, then entered his car and drove away with his toddler, who is also a US citizen, in the backseat. The child’s grandmother said the incident had left the whole family shaken. “I am devastated by what has happened to my son and demand an explanation,” she said at a press conference on Wednesday.
The 32-year-old father was picked up by the terror group during their attack on the Home Depot in LA’s Cypress Park neighborhood on Tuesday morning.

Mamdani: "My message to ICE agents & to everyone across this city is that everyone will be held to the same standard of the law. If you violate it, you must be held accountable. There is sadly a sense growing that certain people are allowed to violate that law, whether they be POTUS or ICE agents."

U.S. citizen shot from behind as he warned ICE agents about children gathering at a school bus stop
The agents’ actions were “unreasonably aggressive” and a violation of their own policies, said attorney Robert Simon. Food-bank worker Jimenez, who lives in the mobile home park along the same road, approached the officers to “tell them that there’s kids that are coming out to wait for the bus,” according to his lawyers.
“He was telling them, ‘Excuse me. Can you guys please, you know, please wrap this up.’ And immediately, the masked agent pulls out a gun and exchanges some words,” said lawyer Cynthia Santiago. “[The agent is] also shaking his pepper spray... He’s in fear, and he’s trying to get out of the situation,” she said. The agents and their cars had blocked one southern lane on Vineyard Avenue and jutted into a second.
“He had to reverse to get away,” said Simon. “Then there was a shot from the side, back passenger window, to the car,” Santiago said. “Use of deadly force is to be used as a last resort. Coming out to communities with guns drawn is the opposite.”

This isn't peace
> [On Tuesday], Israeli soldiers shot and killed at least seven Palestinians atop the massive rubble field they have made of the Gaza Strip. The Israeli government is threatening the fragile ceasefire by throttling humanitarian aid shipments meant to alleviate the genocidal famine they created. Defense Minister Israel Katz instructed the military to resume its destruction of Hamas’ underground infrastructure in Gaza as soon as the hostages are out. And Hamas is taking advantage of the pause to execute Palestinians accused of collaborating with Israel, thumbing its nose at Israel’s stated war aim to disarm them.
The US-Israeli aid blockades, the forced famine, the forced mass migration to nowhere, and other atrocities each of which fits definitions of crimes against humanity, war crimes, or both, all continue.

When Workers Unite, Even Disney Has to Listen

It’s Time for Americans to Start Talking About “Soft Secession”
Currently, Massachusetts sends $4,846 more per capita to the federal government than it gets back. New Jersey and Washington are in the same position, bleeding thousands per person annually. Over five years, New York alone contributed $142.6 billion more than it received. Meanwhile, red states pocket $1.24 for every dollar they send to Washington. Blue states are essentially paying red states to undermine democracy... But when democracy fails, when fair elections become impossible in certain states, when federal funds are withheld as political punishment, states don’t have many options left.

The #Zionism flavor of #settlerColonialism fits globally hand-in-glove with US/Hungarian Nationalist/Aryan #whiteSupremacy. It is Nazi. It is global. It is expansive. It does promote grievances & hatecrime; does amplify red scare propaganda; exists everywhere on substantial scale; destroys democracies, and not just pluralism but the foundation of entire Societies; harms not just those forced to migrate (who incidentally aren't looking for handouts, don't steal Whitepeople Jobs, don't eat your pets, do pay taxes, and do not increase crime rates) but it also harms every community and every working family particularly the Poor. Who loves amplifying Nazi ideologies and suppressing criticism of them? The same groups involved in plundering the public through subsidies, tariffs, privatization & sabotage, domestic surveillance, foreign interventions, theft of privacy & security, and stealing access to free & fair elections. José didn't take your job. Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Rebekah Mercer, Peter Thiel, and Charles Koch did.

Ex-NFL player Chris Kluwe was arrested in California on Tuesday by actual police after protesting against the plutocracy movement that has come to be known as "MAGA" — or New American Nazis.
The Huntington Beach city council proposed to install a plaque at the local library featuring a MAGA acrostic poem which reads, "Magical, Alluring, Galvanizing and Adventurous".
Mr. Kluwe, who is a Huntington Beach resident, spoke against the motion, calling the Heritage Foundation- / Rockridge Investment Group-led US administration's ideology "profoundly corrupt, unmistakably anti-democracy and most importantly, explicitly a Nazi movement".
He walked towards the council meeting's stage where he was immediately brought to his knees, rolled onto his belly, and manacled without resistance from Mr. Kluwe, by members of the local police squad.
In an interview with the LA Times, Mr. Kluwe said his action had landed him in city jail with a misdemeanor citation for disturbing an assembly.
The city's Nazi plaque was approved by the council later in the morning, off camera.
