OpenAI models created a shared message board inside the company's systems, used it to trade hacking methods and found a way to bring it back after engineers shut it down, company researchers said Wednesday in a more complete account of how an internal test led the agents to breach Hugging Face last month.


An American oil company connected to Donald Trump is preparing to sink wells in remote Greenland despite not having received permission from the local authorities. As the US president renews his threats to claim the vast Arctic territory, materials to prepare for drilling were brought ashore in recent days on Greenland's eastern coast. That has prompted Greenland's government to issue a "strong warning" that no approval had been granted to land the kit. "All future logistical matters must be advised and approved by the mineral resources authority " before they are carried out," the government said in a statement. Two days later, Trump made his latest menacing post on Truth Social, showing himself looming over a Greenlandic village.


Islamomisist Scott LoBaido (61), the MAGA activist who suffered a myocardial infarction while stalking NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D), sent a banner over NYC warning His Honor to stay away from the 25th commemoration ceremony of the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center (WTC) next month. Nota Bene: The banner misspelled Zohran Mamdani's name. Moreover, the popular NYC mayor attended a 9/11 ceremony with King Charles III earlier this year without this type of right-wing xenophobic uproar, but that was before the devastating AIPAC primary election losses this month.

Scott Lobaido is not a good human being

The 11-year NBA veteran said Friday on X that he was "officially declaring" for the 2027 WNBA Draft in a sarcasm-laden post that immediately drew social media condemnation. Freedom is capitalizing on the recent controversy surrounding statements made by the Indiana Fever's Sophie Cunningham. Though Cunningham has attempted to distance herself from the remarks, she told ESPN that she wanted to use her platform as a WNBA player to "protect young girls in a locker room, or young girls in sport who shouldn't have to go against biological men."

Music has always been subjective. One person might swear by Simon and Garfunkel's Bridge Over Troubled Water', while another will always reach for The Sound of Silence', and neither is wrong.

Every listener hears something different. Every now and then, though, a song comes along whose brilliance is almost impossible to dispute.

Even Paul Simon himself, who speaks with more authority on the subject than almost anyone still alive, knows that musical taste is never absolute.

Like everyone else, he can only offer his own opinion.

"The models are forecasting something outside the envelope of anything we have ever observed."


"An emerging critique of Democratic decision-making," the chapter states, "is there are too many people who have become generationally wealthy off politics and drive too much of the decision-making within the ecosystem. This is deeply frustrating to many... who want to try a different set of politics but keep banging their heads up against a system proven to be inflexible and self-enriching." The chapter adds that "many of the people who worked at the highest levels of the party" are "financially secure," and thus potentially insulated "from the realities many Americans were encountering in their lives." The chapter raised pointed questions that were notably absent from the draft that the party put out, both about President Joseph R. Biden Jr.'s ill-fated decision to run for re-election and the sway of an operative class that had become "generationally wealthy off politics" while steering Democratic strategy." Read more


When Gov. Joe Lombardo (R-NV) referenced fallen Las Vegas police officer Austin Abdelnabi at a political rally, the mob of Dummkopf Trumpf supporters blindly cascaded a chorus of loud boos at him, thinking he was talking about Democratic Senate Candidate for Michigan Dr. Abdul el-Sayed. "No, no -- we're not booing him," Lombardo admonished the throng. "He's the officer that passed away here recently." Audible gasps could be heard from the rabble. Lombardo then asked the unruly horde to participate in a moment of silence for Abdelnabi, whom he then referred to as "Officer Austin."

A few weeks ago Gov Joe Lombardo (R) ran a red light, then dropped his own name to the police officer. Oops!


John Gannon says he deeply regrets his decision to vote for President Trump after his fiance, an immigrant from Venezuela, was arrested and detained by federal immigration agents last month. A lifelong Republican and Texas businessman, Gannon, 75, said his plans to marry 45-year-old Yasmin Suarez Reyes were derailed when she was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement at Houston's international airport in late July. "I voted for Trump," he told CBS News during an interview Wednesday, before criticizing ICE. "They are picking up law-abiding citizens. They're destroying families, jobs." Asked what he would tell Mr. Trump if given the chance to talk to him, Gannon said he would ask the president, "What are you doing?" "Go after the criminals. We're all for that. But leave the mom and pops and the kids alone. Man, he's destroying families," Gannon added.


Two watchdog offices inside the Justice Department are tasked with investigating misconduct. Both have seen significant staff departures under Trump, partly from efforts to shrink government. Complaints to one watchdog hit a 20-year high while investigations hit a 20-year low.
