Today we had a fire alarm in the office. A colleague wrote to a Slack channel 'Fire alarm in the office building', to start a thread if somebody knows any details. We have AI assistant Glean integrated into the Slack, and it answered privately to her: "today's siren is just a scheduled test and you do not need to leave your workplace". It was not a test or a drill, it was a real fire alarm. Someday, AI will kill us.
At EFF we spend a lot of time thinking about the tech used by police and authorities to spy on you while you’re going about your everyday life, like cell-site simulators (CSS). Rayhunter is an open source tool we’ve created that we hope empowers everyone to help search out CSS around the world. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/03/meet-rayhunter-new-open-source-tool-eff-detect-cellular-spying

Rayhunter is a new open source tool we’ve created that runs off an affordable mobile hotspot that we hope empowers everyone, regardless of technical skill, to help search out cell-site simulators (CSS) around the world.

I'm not saying this program has slightly broken, but top does say that it has tried to allocate a terabyte of RAM

Hey it's totally cool that #Microsoft #GitHub blocked access to one of the repositories in the very center of the #xz backdoor saga.  

It's not like a bunch of people are scrambling to try and make sense of all this right now, or that specific commits got linked to directly from media and blogposts and the like.  

Cool, cool.
