New: it appears ICE is buying immigrants' tax identifiers through a data broker. ICE has repeatedly tried to get this sort of data from the IRS. Judges have repeatedly blocked that move, calling it illegal. Now it looks like ICE is just buying related data instead

ICE Appears to Be Buying Immigrants’ Tax Identifiers from a Data Broker

A $10 million procurement reviewed by 404 Media indicates ICE is buying records related to immigrants’ tax identifiers. “It looks for all the world like Trump is trying to skirt the law and a court order to fuel his mass-deportation campaign,” Senator Ron Wyden said.

New: Researchers have quantified how easy AI search is to manipulate. Just 13 words buried in a random Reddit comment can poison AI search results. They suggest this is not easy to stop: "The way you can attack these systems is so much dumber than you think it is"

It Is Trivially Easy to Use Reddit to Manipulate AI Search, Research Suggests

"We show that a tiny snippet—just 13 words—of retrieved text on a UGC website like Reddit, Wikipedia, Quora, or Facebook can change AI agents to output spam / scam content pretty consistently."

We're moving Super Mario Bros. to an agentic workflow. Rather than controlling Mario, you'll simply prompt the agent with something like "beat 1-1", and it will take direct control of Mario for you. This frees up more time for more important things like doing your taxes or being stuck in traffic

New: this company will add tech to track phones, AirPods, smartwatches, pet tags, and more to license plate readers. The idea is to link devices' identifiers to specific cars and where those people were. It "bridges [LPR] data with sensor-captured device identifiers" https://www.404media.co/this-company-will-add-phone-airpod-and-smartwatch-trackers-to-license-plate-readers/
This Company Will Add Phone, AirPod, and Smartwatch Trackers to License Plate Readers

SignalTrace “links devices that regularly travel together, correlating them to license plate.” It is a surveillance product that will sweep up and add all sorts of Bluetooth and other data to license plate readers, linking specific devices—and people—to cars.
