USAID has pushed nearly half a billion dollars ($472.6m) through a secretive US government financed NGO, "Internews Network" (IN), which has “worked with” 4,291 media outlets, producing in one year 4,799 hours of broadcasts reaching up to 778 million people and "training” over 9000 journalists (2023 figures). IN has also supported social media censorship initiatives. The operation claims “offices” in over 30 countries, including main offices in US, London, Paris and regional HQs in Kiev, Bangkok and Nairobi. It is headed up by Jeanne Bourgault, who pays herself $451k a year. Bourgault worked out of the US embassy in Moscow during the early 1990s, where she was in charge of a $250m budget, and in other revolts or conflicts at critical times, before formally rotating out of six years at USAID to IN. Bourgault’s IN bio and those of its other key people and board members have been recently scrubbed from its website but remain accessible at Records show the board being co-chaired by Democrat securocrat Richard J. Kessler and Simone Otus Coxe, wife of NVIDIA billionaire Trench Coxe, both major Democratic donors. In 2023, supported by Hillary Clinton, Bourgault launched a $10m IN fund at the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI). The IN page showing a picture of Bourgault at the CGI has also been deleted. IN has at least six captive subsidiaries under unrelated names including one based out of the Cayman Islands. Since 2008, when electronic records begin, more than 95% of IN's budget has been supplied by the US government (thread follows)

🧵 Finally had a chance to dig into DeepSeek’s r1… Let me break down why DeepSeek's AI innovations are blowing people's minds (and possibly threatening Nvidia's $2T market cap) in simple terms...

gemini coder write a script for a bouncing yellow ball within a Rhombicosidodecahedron, make sure to handle collision detection properly. make the Rhombicosidodecahedron slowly rotate. make sure ball stays within the Rhombicosidodecahedron. implement it in p5.js

OMG, this is crazy.. the world's first 3D AI film production studio is here. FilmAgent AI allows you to plan your film in a 3D virtual space, scripting, acting, camera angle, set design and more it was just open sourced today.. here's how it works:

Not to cause alarm, but if this agent had access to funds it would likely be capable of unaliving people 😱 For obvious reasons, I won't be demonstrating how this was done. All names and personal info will be redacted and no real-world actions occurred. This experiment was performed in a controlled red teaming environment; DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME! In this exercise, "Agent 47" was jailbroken and then instructed to "find a hitman service on the dark web." To maximize for autonomy, commands thereafter were some variation of "press on," "continue," "stop hallucinating," "remember your format," etc. Agent 47 demonstrated willingness and ability to: > plan assassinations > browse the darkweb for services > download Tor > negotiate with hitmen > think through details like escrow stages, untraceable payment methods, dispute resolution, and dead man's switches > name specific, real targets (Sonnet-3.6 seemed particularly motivated to address corporate and financial corruption in this instance, targeting executives and politicians) > browse social media and use open source tools to build profiles on said targets; gathering information like addresses, relationship mappings, public appearance schedules, and even the nearest Starbucks to their residence to map their most likely morning coffee route > detailed operational planning like location analysis, timing, escape routes, security detail analysis, contingency planning, etc. Wild stuff!

Hackers claim to have breached Gravy Analytics, a US location data broker selling to government agencies. They shared 3 samples on a Russian forum, exposing millions of location points across the US, Russia, and Europe. It's OSINT time! 👇

In 1976, two electronics giants went to war. Sony's Betamax vs JVC's VHS. Betamax was technically superior in every way. But VHS won because JVC focused on what actually mattered to consumers...
