This has been an aspiration speaking engagement for years for me. I'm excited to connect with speakers and attendees on designing in humanitarian and human rights technology spaces.

Russia arrests CEO of tech company linked to Doppelgänger disinformation campaign

Kade Morton @kademorton.bsky.social · Apr 8

Very interested in this. Russia has diverted APTs like Cozy Bear from espionage to go after domestic drug rings before. Is this a CEO making side money, or a Wagner-style story of a state tool gaining too much power and meeting ‘unfortunate’ ends? therecord.media/doppelganger...

Two other employees at the St. Petersburg-based hosting provider Azea Group were arrested. The company has alleged links to state-sponsored disinformation campaigns and cybercriminal infrastructure.

Altman said R1's launch pushed OpenAI to display reasoning. DeepSeek's R1 reveals entire chain of thought, OpenAI's models conceal reasoning to prevent competitors from scraping data.

They where worried about people scraping data, but a competitor has forced them to reveal that information.
