"We must enter and take possession of the mind of childhood, the mind of the youth." -- Plutarco Calles, President of Mexico, 1924 -1928
The Department of Homeland Security has claimed in internally circulated memos that it has regulatory or statutory authority to seek out and ask social media companies to censor accounts and individuals it has deemed are spreading misinformation.
The World Economic Forum (WEF) has boasted that billions of ‘useless humans’ will soon be replaced by artificial intelligence (AI).
Two senior members of the WEF sat down for an interview with the Rothschild-owned outlet The Economist to discuss the rise in AI-powered robots.
Mustafa Suleyman, co-founder of Google’s DeepMind, and Klaus Schwab’s right hand man, Yuval Noah Harari, discussed how powerful AI will be within the next five years.
In the past decade, the growth of the Internet and social media has brought with it a dramatic uptick in populist sentiment.
Legacy institutions have declared war against populism, referring to its claims as “misinformation” or “disinformation” and calling on the government or government-adjacent actors (herein referred to as “the censors”) to clamp down on such claims as they spread across the Internet like wildfire.
We have to have the courage to face our enemies. I think most readers of this article will already know that the psychotic element of the human race which has succeeded in establishing itself at the top of the end of the control pyramid, will stop at nothing to get its way.
Sites subjected to a DMCA takedown notice should consider removing the content in question or contesting the claim. But consider this scenario. To reduce piracy, Google accepts DMCA takedown notices for URLs that don't yet exist in its indexes. So what happens if you receive a 'future piracy' notice that's clearly bogus? A DMCA counter notice won't work; they're talking about things you haven't even done yet.
Pizza Hut's Australian outpost has suffered a data breach.
The baked goods purveyor has delivered bitter news to around 190,000 customers: that their name, delivery address, email address, and phone numbers have been accessed by unautorised entities.
Even more seriously, pizza order histories have also leaked.
Yes, dear reader – that means the bad guys have seen a database of people who like pineapple on their pizzas.
AI-generated and self-published books sold on Amazon have not earned a reputation for quality.
One such volume, which Amazon rated as a bestseller, claimed to detail the full story behind the wildfires on the Hawaiian island of Maui before the blazes were doused and while hundreds of residents were missing. The book was “written” by an author who has left no trace on the digital world other than his books for sale on Amazon, the texts of which include grammatical oddities and other hallmarks of being generated by AI.
Security researchers with the Citizen Lab and Google's Threat Analysis Group (TAG) revealed today that three zero-days patched by Apple on Thursday were abused as part of an exploit chain to install Cytrox's Predator spyware.
A police robot, called K-5, will patrol New York City’s busiest subway station overnights in a new pilot program.
“We must use every available method,” Mayor Eric Adams said in a Friday morning news conference announcing the deployment of the robot.
The mayor said the city is leasing the robot for $9 an hour, noting that is below the minimum wage in the city.
“It’s cost-effective,” Adams said. “No bathroom breaks, no meal breaks.”
The 420-pound robot will be on patrol at the station from midnight to 5 a.m. during the two-month test in two weeks.
On the heels of the well-documented non-fungible token (NFT) craze – and billions in related purchases – a whopping 95% of the digital-asset collections are now worthless, according to a new study.
This and other telling data points emerged in a report from cryptocurrency analysis platform dappGambl. As part of the underlying research, the outlet zeroed in on the value and ownership details associated with 73,257 NFT collections, per the appropriate text.
Of these collections, 69,795, or north of 95%, had “a market cap of 0 Ether,” the breakdown shows.
