This is an inspiring story of hope and courage. While it is important to understand that personalised cancer vaccines can have serious limitations and side effects, and are still very complex and difficult to create, personalised cancer therapy shall be a strong priority in our world, instead of wars. https://theconversation.com/a-man-used-ai-to-help-make-a-cancer-vaccine-for-his-dog-an-oncologist-urges-caution-278735
A man used AI to help make a cancer vaccine for his dog – an oncologist urges caution

One dog, one vaccine, one data point. The story of Rosie is fascinating – but it is not yet evidence that AI can beat cancer.

Tre ricercatori di sicurezza hanno scoperto 53 MB di codice sorgente esposto su un endpoint governativo FedRAMP di Persona, l'azienda che gestisce la verifica identità per OpenAI.

Cosa emerge dal codice:
• Il tuo selfie viene confrontato con foto di politici mondiali tramite riconoscimento facciale
• 269 controlli di verifica, inclusa "SelfieSuspiciousEntityDetection" (la tua faccia è "sospetta"?)
• Segnalazioni SAR inviate direttamente a FinCEN
• Database biometrici facciali con conservazione fino a 3 anni
• Tag di programmi di intelligence (Project SHADOW, Project LEGION...)

La stessa piattaforma, stesso codice, gestisce sia la verifica per ChatGPT sia un sistema governativo che segnala attività sospette alle autorità federali USA.

Large AI datacenter projects, like OpenAI’s multi-state Stargate project, have such a massive demand for high-bandwidth memory (HBM) – generating massive revenue at the same time -- that many semiconductor companies have reduced capacity for consumer-level DRAM and SSD storage. As a result, demand may outweigh supply for at least another four years. Read more from @Gizmodo:

Several high-ranking federal election officials
attended a summit last week at which prominent figures who worked to
🔥overturn Donald Trump’s loss in the 2020 election
pressed the president to
👉 declare a national emergency to take over this year’s midterms.

According to videos, photos and social media posts reviewed by ProPublica,
the meeting’s participants included #Kurt #Olsen, a White House lawyer charged with reinvestigating the 2020 election,
and #Heather #Honey, the Department of Homeland Security official in charge of election integrity.

The event was convened by #Michael #Flynn, Trump’s former national security adviser,
and attended by #Cleta #Mitchell,
who directs the "Election Integrity Network",
a group that has spread false claims about election fraud and noncitizen voting. 

Election experts say that the meeting reflects an intensifying push to
persuade Trump to take unprecedented actions to affect the vote in November.

Courts have largely blocked his efforts to reshape elections through an executive order,
and legislation has stalled in Congress that would mandate strict voter ID requirements across the country.

The Washington Post reported Thursday that activists associated with those at the summit have been circulating a draft of an executive order
that would ❌ban mail-in ballots
and ❌get rid of voting machines
as part of a federal takeover.

#Peter #Ticktin, a lawyer who worked on the executive order and had a client at the summit,
told ProPublica these actions were
“all part of the same effort.” 

The summit followed other meetings and discussions between administration officials and activists
— many not previously reported
— stretching back to at least last fall,
according to emails and recordings obtained by ProPublica.

The coordination between those inside and outside the government represents a breakdown of crucial guardrails,
experts on U.S. elections said.

“The meeting shows that the same people who tried to overturn the 2020 election
have only grown better organized
and are now embedded in the machinery of government,”
said Brendan Fischer,
a director at the "Campaign Legal Center",
a nonpartisan pro-democracy organization.

“This creates substantial risk that the administration is laying the groundwork to improperly reshape elections ahead of the midterms
or even go against the will of the voters.”
