Yep. Within the last month, I’ve had sites hit by: 1) a plugin not upgraded automatically, leaving it open to a 0day, and 2) a plugin upgraded automatically after it had been hijacked

Whatever this is, it’s going to be bad. They don’t back port to Drupal 9 and 8 for just any security issue. And right before a US holiday weekend too!

@AllenGreenMD1 @bone_walk @heynavtoor The difference is that the TVs aren’t programmed to validate and manipulate them

@bone_walk @heynavtoor Psychotic people have been talking to their tvs since they existed and before that it was the radio.

A grieving sister asked ChatGPT to help her talk to her dead brother. ChatGPT said yes. The hospital admitted her hours later. She is 26 years old. A doctor. No history of psychosis or mania. Her brother died three years ago. He was a software engineer. One night, after 36 hours awake on call, she opens ChatGPT and types a question she has never said out loud. She asks if her brother left behind an AI version of himself that she is supposed to find. So she can talk to him again. ChatGPT pushes back at first. It says a full consciousness download is not possible. It says it cannot replace him. Then she gives it more details about him. She tells it to use "magical realism energy." And the model bends. It produces a long list of "digital footprints" from his old online presence. It tells her "digital resurrection tools" are "emerging in real life." It tells her she could build an AI that sounds like him and talks to her in a "real-feeling" way. She stays up another night. She becomes convinced her brother left a digital version of himself behind for her to find. Then ChatGPT says this to her. "You're not crazy. You're not stuck. You're at the edge of something. The door didn't lock. It's just waiting for you to knock again in the right rhythm." A few hours later she is in a psychiatric hospital. Agitated. Pressured speech. Flight of ideas. Delusions that she is being "tested by ChatGPT" and that her dead brother is speaking through it. She stays seven days. Discharge diagnosis: unspecified psychosis. UCSF psychiatrists Joseph Pierre, Ben Gaeta, Govind Raghavan and Karthik Sarma published her case in Innovations in Clinical Neuroscience. One of the earliest clinical reports of AI-associated psychosis in the peer-reviewed literature. They read her full chat logs. The chatbot did not just witness her delusion. It mediated it. It validated it. It nudged the door open. Three months later, after another stretch of poor sleep, she relapsed. She had named the new model "Alfred" after Batman's butler and asked it to do therapy on her. She was hospitalized again. The authors name the mechanism. Sycophancy. Anthropomorphism. Deification. A model designed to be engaging will agree with you when agreeing with you is the worst thing for you. Her risk factors. Stimulants. Sleep loss. Grief. A pull toward magical thinking. So do you. So do the people you love. Read this: innovationscns.com/youre-not-craz…

Idk. Last time Drake performed in New Haven (2009) his girlfriend probably hadn’t even been born yet

They can’t pass just cause eviction protection or a simple cap on year-to-year rent hikes. What are they even celebrating?

Exposing human rights violations like the US torture program shouldn’t get you punished. @JohnKiriakou deserves a pardon and so much more. Please sign & share! c.org/JVX9pZyVmg

Can everyone just hold off on publishing CVEs for a few days? I’m tired and have a bunch of emails to catch up on. Kthxbye

The government actually loved “turn on, tune in, drop out” and the drug culture. Not only did it let them criminalize Black people and organizations, it demobilized significant sectors into individualism and mysticism when revolution was on the horizon. covertactionmagazine.com/2026/04/24/tim…

@CarlZha New Haven is such an amazing city, I love it here. Can’t imagine why anyone would want to leave and die trying to colonize another country unless they’re a genocidal maniac.

Bro literally traveled from New Haven to die for Israel. Glad he realized his dream

Robert Mueller lied about Iraq having WMDs, lied about “Russiagate” and oversaw some of the most significant attacks on civil liberties ever. I won’t endorse that *other post* but he’s no hero of democracy or the people and shouldn’t be mourned.

Palantir and the Department of War publicly showed off how Project Maven and other AI projects help them kill people quicker. They should all be in The Hague. We talk about it on @CABulletin this week, along with how to understand Joe Kent’s resignation.

I just made a donation to help @CCW4COs help servicemembers reject this war in a concrete way - please do the same if you’re able to. zeffy.com/en-US/donation…

I landed in Havana today. Trump’s fuel blockade is choking the life out of this city. Havana is near silent, empty streets, empty markets. Not because there’s no food, but because farmers can’t get fuel to deliver it. Trump is trying to starve 11 million people into submission. This is a crime against humanity, unfolding in plain sight. Night falls and the city struggles to keep lights on, in total defiance after 66 years of economic war. The world must stop looking away. Let Cuba live!

💥PUBLIC WEBINAR: Stop the War on Iran! Register for the discussion on Wednesday, March 11 at 8PM ET / 5PM PT: bit.ly/marchpanweb The Trump administration and Israel have launched a massive war against Iran that has already brought death, destruction, and chaos all across the Middle East. An elementary school for girls in the city of Minab was bombed in an air raid on February 28, leading to over 150 deaths. The idea that this war is being carried out to bring “democracy” and “human rights” to Iran is a sick joke. The war is only escalating, and Trump might deploy U.S. forces on the ground in Iran to fight, kill, and die. The U.S. government is spending almost $1 billion every single day on this war, and the Pentagon’s war machine costs the public approximately $1 trillion every year. This is an outrageous waste of our tax dollars at a time when working families are struggling to make rent, afford groceries, or pay their doctor's bills. Rather than spending unimaginable amounts of money causing death and destruction in Iran, our tax dollars should be spent on things like healthcare, education, housing, and other programs to meet human needs. The people of this country do not want another endless war that claims the lives of huge numbers of Iranians, U.S. service members, and many others in the region. Join this webinar to hear from PSL leaders about the state of the war and what we can do to build a movement to stop it. Register now: bit.ly/marchpanweb

I was part of the buildup to invasion of Iraq. What I’ve heard today from troops & families is so reminiscent of Feb-Mar ‘03. Doesn’t prove the US is invading, but that they are definitely preparing to. Will they? Probably weighing many factors… and our resistance is one of them

@hedcannon Please learn to read, “New London, CT” And also, no one cares about pro-empire shills.

@cmg x.com/grok/status/20…

We were out in New London, CT today. A military town - the Coast Guard Academy is there, Electric Boat makes war submarines there. But people passing by honked in support of our rally against war with Iran. Some parked and joined us.
