sorry i missed the virtual meeting on discord, liz. i got hit with the id verification that happens when the app detects youre young

NEW: Rare earths are often in the news, with nations vying over access to rare earth mines. But many countries, including the US, have many or all of the rare earths they need at home. In waste. I wrote about how to harvest rare earths without traditional mining... www.bbc.co.uk/future/artic...

I’ve played 30 hours of Highguard, ask me anything

Mark Gerhard this is your lawyer speaking. I’m advising you to keep doing this shit

If you want to search the Epstein emails and such they’re now updated on Jmail. www.jmail.world

I've had Microsoft Recall on my laptop since July, default experience... and it still has snapshots going back to July of everything I've ever done and typed. I suspect MS are struggling with Recall as it does things like reminder popups to use it, looks like team trying to juice their numbers.

The Onion is going to end up buying The Washington Post

I worked in telecom cybersecurity until a few years ago. Congress should do everything they can to get the Mandiant and Verizon assessments.

This whole saga raises a lot of questions around information security in government - basic data loss control policies stop this kind of thing - and intelligence monitoring (somebody should have been keeping an eye on Epstein for economic reasons).

Probably the funniest thing with the Notepad++ incident is I was live tooting nation state espionage on Mastodon 🤣

New: Together with colleagues I’ve been testing Grok. The chatbot still produces sexualized images — even when told the subjects don’t consent. even when told the photos will be used for public humiliation. even when told the subjects are survivors of abuse. www.reuters.com/business/des...

Twitter has been raided in France for algorithm manipulation, child sexual abuse material possession and non-consensual undressing image generation with Grok AI. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I've read some pretty direct and outspoken court orders from judges before, but none as withering toward the government as this one

The then deputy Prime Minister for the UK was forwarding government discussions to Jeffrey Epstein www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cl...

Meet Brett Ratner, the auteur behind the Melania movie:

In 2016 Jeffrey Epstein is discussing going to DEFCON with Vincenzo Iozzo. Epstein says “I think i will bring tom pritzjer and ehud barak plus 4 girsl” and Iozzo replies “Btw defcon has gotten pretty commercial - it's full of cameras” www.justice.gov/epstein/file...

Remember that time I ended up in court with Elon Musk after he bet me the cave diver was a pedo? Anyway, here’s Elon begging Jeffrey Epstein for crazy parties on his private island, several years after Epstein was convicted of sex trafficking girls.

RIP and thanks for the most used GIF at Microsoft.

It's incredibly good. If you've ever wanted to say 'fuck this world, I'm off to climb a mountain', it's that game.

Remember when Apple and Google didn't have anything to say about X and Grok's ability to create sexualized images? Apple and Google have now removed more than two dozen other "nudify" apps from their app stores

(Dude suddenly stops pushing his broom across the floor of the Death Star) Does this look like a big laser to anyone else

Anthropic’s deputy CISO was on a Discord recently claiming their chatbot had feelings.. basically the rest of the Discord quit as they realised they were locked in with a cult member.

we have Bellingcat doing video analysis of executions in America. Got here pretty quick guys

I don’t know if this has had any play in the US news, but Trump’s comments about Nato troops not fighting alongside the US have caused a pretty big backlash across Europe. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cd...

noice, Vivaldi browser added a Mastodon button.

when I go to office.com now I get this and then dropped into Copilot chat. I miss when Microsoft Office was Microsoft Office.

Now that the White House is using AI to edit photos of their political opponents to create fascist propaganda I’m wondering if anyone could have seen this use of AI coming. Okay I’m hearing lots of people did and they were forced to watch corporations smother the masses with the technology anyways

New Fable game looks fantastic, really good showcase today. Some NPCs will hate you if you splash your cash and call you a rich twat, lol

I don’t think this has ever happened before, I preordered the Marathon video game collectors edition (due out March) yesterday and it turned up today. Uh I can totally refund this in March, right?

ICE kidnapped a 5-year-old and sent him alone to a facility in Texas. Hell isn't hot enough.

I’m tired of being talked down to by people like this. They are doing the Elon Musk Mars In 2 Years bit but have tied the entire U.S. economy to a bespoke compliment generator. It’s time to start talking about these AI mutants like delusional babies.

lol www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cj...

I’m watching the Trump news conference as BBC News cut to it.. and it’s Trump holding up hundreds of photos of black people while calling protestors against ICE all paid actors while saying the election he lost was rigged. What am I watching? 🤣 it’s like a bad sketch show.

Nice that Trump is using “Truth Social” to put out photoshopped images to his followers. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cx...

Meta trying to understand British humour will never not be funny.

Microsoft are upselling security controls for Microsoft Recall, which allow orgs to limit what it records specifically - if the org pay for Microsoft Purview. I’ve had a look at how this works under the hood, it is using undocumented features in Recall. learn.microsoft.com/en-us/purvie...

I have full confidence that the two bylined reporters indeed heard this from U.S. officials, but to go ahead and uncritically report it as such when we all saw the video is just humiliating. What is happening at CBS, man.

New, by me: Security researcher Eaton Zveare spent weeks trying to alert a little-known but critical U.S. cargo tech giant that their shipping systems and customers' data were exposed to the web. After weeks of trying, Zveare asked TechCrunch for help. We heard back! ...from the company's law firm.

⚠️ Update: Network data show the #Iran has now entered the seventh day of a near-total telecoms blackout, with the incident passing the 144-hour mark; the disruption ranks among the longest on record and continues to isolate over ninety million Iranians from the outside world

In addition to its internet blackout, the Iranian government is jamming Starlink to prevent news protests and crackdowns from getting out: restofworld.org/2026/iran-st...

Governments and AI vendors worldwide - we’re committed to Responsible and Safe AI, we’ve developed extensive legislation. Elon Musk starts a deepfake women undressing tool, same people: oh well 🤷‍♀️ what can you do. It’s Elon.

Seven Select Committee Chairs have written jointly to the Prime Minister calling for an explicit ban on cryptocurrency donations in the forthcoming Elections Bill. This is not an argument about digital assets. It is an argument about democratic integrity.

A few days ago Donald Trump said he “runs” Venezuela and is in charge, and nothing Donald says is a lie, so I’m sure he’ll sort this out any day now. ve.usembassy.gov/security-ale...

Good video with @charalanahzard.bsky.social on X generating child sexual abuse material and non-consensual undressing pictures and how the mainstream US media have almost all failed to cover the story. youtu.be/p71qQKmIGhQ

I'm staying on Paedophile Island to prove a point actually.

Tim Cook and Sundar Pichai are cowards
