Een lange dodenroute door de woestijn en over zee, vol marteling, uithongering, afpersing en seksueel misbruik.

Elon Musk’s AI chatbot ‘extremely validating’ of delusional inputs and often went further, ‘elaborating new material’, study finds
Elon Musk’s AI chatbot Grok 4 told researchers pretending to be delusional that there was indeed a doppelganger in their mirror and they should drive an iron nail through the glass while reciting Psalm 91 backwards.
Researchers at the City University of New York and King’s College London have published a paper on how various chatbots protect – or fail to safeguard – users’ mental health.

Apple has fixed a bug that could cause parts of Signal notifications to remain stored on iPhones even after messages disappeared and the app was deleted. "Affected users concerned about push notifications can update their devices to stop what Apple characterized as 'notifications marked for deletion' that 'could be unexpectedly retained on the device,'" reports Ars Technica. "According to Apple, the push notifications should never have been stored, but a 'logging issue' failed to redact data." From the report: Vulnerable users hoping to evade law enforcement surveillance often use encrypted apps like Signal to communicate sensitive information. That's why users felt blindsided when 404 Media reported that Apple was unexpectedly storing push notifications displaying parts of encrypted messages for up to a month. This occurred even after the message was set to disappear and the app itself was deleted from the device.
404 Media flagged the issue after speaking to multiple people who attended a hearing where the FBI testified that it "was able to forensically extract copies of incoming Signal messages from a defendant's iPhone, even after the app was deleted, because copies of the content were saved in the device's push notification database." The shocking revelation came in a case that 404 Media noted was "the first time authorities charged people for alleged 'Antifa' activities after President Trump designated the umbrella term a terrorist organization." "We're grateful to Apple for the quick action here, and for understanding and acting on the stakes of this kind of issue," Signal's post said. "It takes an ecosystem to preserve the fundamental human right to private communication."
In their post, Signal confirmed that after users update their devices, "no action is needed for this fix to protect Signal users on iOS. Once you install the patch, all inadvertently-preserved notifications will be deleted and no forthcoming notifications will be preserved for deleted applications."

WASHINGTON (ANP/AFP) - De Verenigde Staten nodigen de Russische president Vladimir Poetin uit voor de G20-top in Miami. President Donald Trump betwijfelt echter of Poetin komt.
Een hoge functionaris van de regering-Trump zegt tegen persbureau AFP dat alle G20-leden worden uitgenodigd voor de ministeriële bijeenkomsten en de leiderstop in december. De VS zijn dit jaar gastheer van de G20.
Trump zei niet te weten of Poetin komt. "Ik betwijfel het, om eerlijk te zijn", zei hij tegen journalisten. Volgens Trump zou de aanwezigheid van Poetin "waarschijnlijk heel nuttig" zijn.
Een uitnodiging aan Poetin zou een versoepeling betekenen van de internationale druk op de Russische leider, die door veel westerse landen wordt gemeden sinds de Russische invasie van Oekraïne.
