This is huge news. I have spent the past 6 months wondering wtf was up with Amazon: they filed 380,000 AI-related CyberTipline reports to NCMEC in the first half of 2025.

Turns out ALL of it was known CSAM they found by screening their AI training data. It's NOT AI-generated or AI-morphed CSAM.

Protesters clashed with federal agents for another night outside the Whipple Federal Building, which holds ICE detainees. Agents fired less-lethal munitions and deployed chemical irritants at the crowd.

It’s been reported locally, but I’m not sure how much national notice this has gotten. As part of this invasion by shithead goons, they are putting ICE agents in jetbridges and other parts of the airport at Minneapolis-Saint Paul. If you are flying Delta via MSP, you are putting yourself at risk.

"The rust compiler has some quirks that make it hard to use. It won't let you have two pointers to the same thing although its perfectly safe. It treats you like a mass of incompetence that can't be trusted with a pointer.

We fix that."

Berlin was faced with a 2nd arson attack on their power grid within a few months, leaving thousands of households without power, for days. Several systems were damaged simultaneously deeming any backup systems, ineffective.
An attack like this requires some reconnaissance.

This is one of the nightmares of modern security. We need to know where every single one of those is, what we're trusting it to do and not do, and how to make it stop *immediately*.

And every time someone wants to use a new one we need to figure out whether we can trust it as far as we can throw it
I worked at a 4,000-person event tech company for about five years. At one of the annual team all-hands, our CEO shared a PowerPoint slide that contained every SaaS vendor logo that enabled our daily work.
