Predatory capitalist CEOs might want to meditate on this a bit.

Personally, I'd say a jury full of people whose friends and families have been murdered for profit are exactly the right kind of jury.

You know, a jury of our peers, just like it says in the Constitution. If you have to hunt for exceptional people, whose lives are unusual, they're not our "peers."

Healthcare Companies Screwed Over So Many People That It’s Hard To Find Luigi Mangione A Neutral Jury

Maybe they can find a couple of cryogenically frozen folks to thaw and make a fair jury.

it's nice to see reporting that doesn't mince words.

"Google’s featured snippet is pulling in an Amazon AI summary of Adolf Hitler’s Nazi manifesto Mein Kampf that calls it “a true work of art” in the latest AI-related fuckup affecting top search results."

Having ditched my subscriptions to NYT (long ago), WaPo and the LA Times, I'm glad to be a paid subscriber to the journalism from places like @404mediaco.

Google and Amazon AI Say Hitler’s Mein Kampf Is ‘a True Work of Art’

An example of AI attempting to summarizing nuanced reviewed of Hitler's Nazi manifesto turned into an example of algorithms eating themselves.

Someone has been snail mailing letters to various businesses pretending to be the BianLian ransomware group. The letters say that the recipient's network has been taken over by the ransomware group, and include a QR code where recipients can scan to make a cryptocurrency payment.

The FBI just released an alert about this, saying nobody should be paying these, and that the whole thing is a scam. But these guy just pissed off the U.S. Postal Service, which also has its own considerable law enforcement investigative power.

A reader whose employer got one of these this week shared a copy of their extortion demand. I know it's not the clearest picture, but you get the idea.

PSA for my friends …

And those of you who have been encountering “Nicole, but you can call me Fediverse Chick …”

https://www.aarp.org/money/scams-fraud/what-are-pig-butchering-scams.html

“Pig Butchering” is an exponentially growing scam model, being carried out by trafficked people. It rolls a whole psych warfare + romance + free crypto money scam together with some sort of grandpa-scam entree, and they’re in for a long game.

Mastodon Admins are trying to get rid of “Nicole”, but its a hydra.

DO NOT ENGAGE.

The head of the CIA has confirmed this on camera now, so I await the denial tweeted from @CIA at 4.15am on a Sunday calling it fake news that damages the Sokovia Accords.

Now that Trump has begun cutting Europe (especially Ukraine) off from intelligence sharing, Europe can dedicate far more energy to figuring out how Russia got Trump to capitulate. Since all his OTHER bribery is in plain sight, I suspect any RU bribery is lurking just below the surface.

The US has cut off intelligence sharing with Ukraine, reports the Financial Times, including via the UK.
