SCOOP: 404 Media has obtained material that explains how Tangles and Webloc, two surveillance systems ICE recently purchased, work. One can track phones without a warrant and follow their owners home or to their employer.

This year, Grok was reprogrammed to say Elon Musk is better than everyone at everything, including blowjobs, piss drinking, playing quarterback, conquering Europe, etc. www.404media.co/elon-musk-co...

Discovered a popular car wash near by, has a license plate reader, which seems a bit high tech for washing cars. Accepts cards only (no cash) so they now have identity linked to plates… Can’t imagine they have the best cyber security either, seems super odd to me…

For your holiday ambiance, I've made a hypnotic yule log fireplace with ultra slow motion macro footage of flames stretching & warping like liquid as fire reacts with calcium chloride & barium. This is real fire I filmed, not CGI or AI. 10hrs, 4K, crackling sounds, no music, no ads. Happy holidays!

Bots be tryin hard this holiday season…

A new strange fear emerges… 😐

Real solution to a real problem

Yahoo version of the article if you don't have a Bloomberg sub: finance.yahoo.com/news/trump-a... Also, this is an incredibly bad idea for numerous reasons. This can possibly end up making these firms into a target of foreign government threat groups. 😬

Send her back to jail

Also a favorite method of serial killers…

I said it before, will say it again -- generative AI fetishizes "ideas" while sneering at effort, execution, and education. That, despite Gen-AI being built on and out of other people's effort, execution and education.

Here’s an open letter signed so far by over 1200 educators (including many in the humanities) which articulates key rationales of those of us who refuse the unsupported-by-facts pressure to adopt GenAI anywhere in the educational process. I signed a while ago. w/ thanks to @olivia.science

I hate everything about this… The normalization of this kind of AI garbage is disturbing enough, without adding to it a terrible message…

There are soooo many reasons I didn’t need to know this…

🚨Pam Bondi just ordered the FBI to compile a list of American "extremists" and to establish a bounty fund to reward tipsters, per DOJ memo leaked to me: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/leak-fbi-l...

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.

AI keeps brining the heat… 🫩

"Imagine you stole all of the intellectual property in the world. And you're using it to help people write middling emails and make revenge porn about women, and also children. And you're powering this plagiarism and non-consensual porn machine by eating up what's left of humanity's carbon budget."

404 Media is making a print zine! About the surveillance technologies used by ICE. 16 pages, riso printed. Shipping early January. Features reworked versions of our best reporting and a few new things. We're very excited! And hope to do more if people like it: www.404media.co/404-media-is...

The least surprising thing I’ve read today. www.reddit.com/r/todayilear...

can't stop watching this clip of a tesla Optimus teleoperator taking his headset off before properly logging out the robot

The harder they try to make AI useful the less useful it is…

I’m not even sure what the actual fuck I just read, but I’m fairly sure I’m less intelligent than I was before reading it… 🫩

This is the way, and the only responsible thing to do I might add.

Added to a must have list of things that my private collection needs. O_o

Most of the crew calls it “Veggie Pasta” (yes theres no real meat, but some veg based meat). Typically use better noodles but this will work. 😏

Yet another example of some of the worst things AI has brought us…

I approve of this message.

Ever say, “that might have been too much broccoli” and then be confused how that’s something you can say seriously? Me too, but I also just said it out loud… 🫩

Unfortunately, it’s way, WAY too common among men. I know it’s not all men, but when no men come with warning signs, we have no way to tell who is going to be a problem. Hell, there’s a ton of men who don’t think that what they do is a problem.

Letting bro hide until the coast is clear. Fuck the police

“The business wont have appetite for it.” Last words you wanna hear in cyber. 💀

This might be long overdue but it’s decidedly stepping in the right direction.

Some days are just coding days and nothing else can get done…

Explaining splunk to people that have never used splunk… I should have just signed off ngl.

How hacked are telecoms going to have to be, before they roll this one back?! You can barely get them to meet the minimums in the first place... Sounds like our DFIR friends are going to be busy going forward.

This answer strongly sounds like there are unimplemented plans… Guess we know now why they were trying to bring the nazi swastika back… 😒

Adding compromised npm packages to your app like

Everything about this thread is just chefs kiss perfect!

“what is the most useless piece of video game knowledge you know?” You can’t uncurse the cursed ring in Final Fantasy III.

Step in the right direction, paywalls have a tendency to limit peoples ability to get trustworthy information, particularly people with limited income.

Interesting.
