🚨 Hackers found a way into Palo Alto’s GlobalProtect VPN without a password. The flaw, tracked as CVE-2026-0257, lets attackers bypass PAN-OS authentication and establish unauthorized VPN sessions. Palo Alto says it’s already being used in real attacks. If you run GlobalProtect, check this now. Details ➝ thehackernews.com/2026/06/pa…

Every journalist who knows the importance of "follow the money" admires the data driven investigations that are the hallmark of @AsraNomani. Last October, a week before the New York mayoral election, she stitched together the complex ethno-religious web of progressive nonprofits and radical imams who had engineered Mamdani's rise to power. At the time, I was taping my "Journalism 101" course for the @petersonacademy, and I cited her meticulous reporting of what she called the "Mamdani Machine" as a prime example of data journalism. I'm glad to see she is back on familiar ground today, at the 'spontaneous' No Kings protest in Washington D.C., where she is talking about the more than 400 organizing groups, with a $3 billion annual revenue, and the familiar big-money funders, including George Soros, Neville Roy Singham, the Tides Foundation, and many others. What I like about Asra's reporting is that most of her work relies on publicly available sources of information, including the often dense 990 tax filings of the groups themselves. It is tedious and time-consuming work but the results never cease to surprise.
I just finished taping the first four lectures of an 8-part course ‘Journalism 101’ for the @petersonacademy today. Now back on Twitter and I see this prime example of what I told students about “following the money“ and data journalism. Great reporting 👇

He was pleased. I told him 1.5 million people saw his picture and his art. He was happy. You all made him happy and I’m pleased to know he made others happy. My daughter got this video of me telling him about his fame.

I want to introduce you to Steve. He’s 83. His wife died a few months ago and he comes to this lodge in Spring Mill, Indiana and draws. He taught art in Terre Haute, IN his whole life. He also did courtroom sketches in court cases. In the comments I’ll share some pics from his sketchbook. He was excited when I said I was going to share his sketches with the world.

What timeline are we on man. There’s a $60 million UFC cage on the White House lawn for the president’s 80th birthday. 125,000 guests. 494 port-a-potties. He compared it to the Eiffel Tower and said maybe they’ll never take it down. The world’s first trillionaire was minted yesterday. SpaceX IPO. One person now holds more wealth than the GDP of most countries. The government is negotiating to own a piece of OpenAI. The CEO walked into the White House and pitched it himself. They’re calling it a Public Wealth Fund. That same government killed OpenAI’s biggest competitor’s models on a Friday night. The reason? A verbal jailbreak claim from an unnamed company. The same jailbreak works on OpenAI’s models. Nobody touched them. The competitor got blacklisted by the Pentagon four months ago. Their crime? Refusing to let the military use their AI for mass surveillance of American citizens. A judge called it retaliation. The Pentagon did it anyway. Both AI companies filed to go public in the same two-week window. Both targeting trillion-dollar valuations. One has a government equity deal in progress. The other can’t keep its products online. The engineers who built the banned models can’t use them anymore. Because of their passports. And an AI company that spent thousands of hours cooperating with government safety testing got punished harder than any company that didn’t bother. UFC on the White House lawn. A trillionaire. Government-owned AI. Export controls based on phone calls. Cage fights and trillion-dollar IPOs in the same news cycle. Watch the film titled Idiocracy. That’s the timeline we’re on.
The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees. The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance. Access to all other Claude models is not affected. We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible. Read our full statement: anthropic.com/news/fable-myt…

🚨 SNAP FRAUD ALERT 🚨 Rajan Babbar, owner of Taste of India grocery store in Lynchburg, VA, has been sentenced to 33 months in federal prison for a multi-year SNAP (food stamp) fraud scheme. His store, authorized as a SNAP retailer in 2016, saw sales surge from $2,600/month in 2018 to $65,000/month by 2023, amounting to a roughly 2,500% increase! Prosecutors say he processed fake transactions allowing customers to exchange SNAP benefits for cash (typically 50% of the benefit value). The scheme, running from at least 2019 to 2025, involved between $550,000 and $3.5 million in fraudulent transactions. justice.gov/usao-wdva/pr/lyn…

A gov agency shut down Anthropic's Fable 5, fearing it is too dangerous for public use. Neuromancer, by William Gibson, predicted this. The 1984 novel spoke of AI and "Turing Police" whose gov job it was to shut down advanced AIs and bring their creators to justice. Famously, Gibson knew nothing about computers when he wrote the book that launched the Cyberpunk genre and wrote the entire novel on a 1927 Hermes Typewriter. It was before the Internet, yet he talked about the internet "The Matrix" It was before VR, yet he wrote about VR "SimStim" It was before AI but he talked about true AI and "constructs" which were more like our stochastic parrot early efforts. He predicted high RAM prices "Case's girlfriend steals his RAM for drugs" He predicted that the most advanced AI would only be available to giant corporations and rich elite. The number of things he got right makes him seem more like Nostradamus than a sci-fi author.

I keep seeing signals - AI coding ROI being questioned - Hallucinations in places where hallucinations matter - Heavily subsidized subscriptions - Banks getting nervous around AI valuations - Margin debt near dot-com levels - Research showing limits that don’t fit the narrative - Governments stepping in and restricting access to frontier models None of these things matter on their own. But they all point in the same direction. I don’t know who pulls money out first. But if expectations start breaking, it could get ugly very quickly.

History's first trillionaire is a guy who catches rockets out of the sky with chopsticks and beams internet to every dead zone on the planet. Same guy ships cars that drive themselves, humanoid robots for the factory floor, brain chips that let paralyzed people move a cursor with pure thought, and an AI running on a supercomputer his team stood up in months instead of years. And the people crashing out about his net worth are doing it on the app he owns. The same app governments spent years trying to censor. You cannot legislate a rocket into orbit.

衝撃が少し落ち着いてきたので昨日の研究会で聞いたことを書くと、元同僚研究者が理論物理学の研究の自動化に取り組んでいて、Claudeをメインにしたシステムをひと月ほどで構築、それを一昨日から1日自律的に動かし(おそらくFable 5か)、昨日出力されたのは、開発者自身(超優秀な世界的理論物理学者です)では思いつかない非自明な結果を含む高度な研究論文だったという。アイデア出しから文献検索、解析計算と数値検証、さらに全ての式変形が数学的に間違いないことの検証、出た結果の他のAIによる検証、原稿作成、査読、リバイズ、などを完全自動化。もはや人間がAIの出力を理解したりチェックする作業が律速段階であるといい、さらには最初に研究したら面白そうだと与えている発想の部分もAIが自律的に行えるようにできるだろうとのこと。夢でも見ていたのかと思ったが、出席していた他の理論物理学者や数学者も自分と同じ衝撃を受けていたので、現実だったようだ

🚨 BrEaKiNg: Splunk, a security product, has zero authentication in its built-in database service and accepts any credentials, according to the security researchers who just dropped a full pre-auth RCE chain for Splunk Enterprise (CVE-2026-20253, CVSS 9.8). Splunk Enterprise on AWS is vulnerable out of the box.

"GreatXML GreatXML bitlocker bypass vulnerability Steps to reproduce, If defender offline scan was initiated in the victim machine at any point then there is no need to login, the machine is automatically vulnerable. You will have to copy "unattend.xml" and "Recovery" directory to the root of the recovery partition then reboot to WinRE using shift click on restart button, if everything was done correctly, a shell with unrestricted access to the bitlocker volume will spawn. If defender offline scan was never initiated then you have to either login and initiate it yourself or figure out a way to boot into WinRE in offline scan state (I believe it should be very possible to do so without logging in) and follow steps above If everything is done properly, this should be the result" #bitlocker #hacks
