DEN HAAG (ANP) - Rond de 70 à 80 mensen zijn dinsdag in Den Haag aangehouden. De groep demonstreerde bij het Tweede Kamergebouw voor de door Israël opgepakte opvarenden van de Global Sumud Flotilla. De politie laat weten dat de demonstranten weigerden naar een toegewezen demonstratievak te gaan en toen zijn aangehouden.

Omdat de demonstranten niet naar de politie wilden luisteren, is ook de mobiele eenheid ingezet. Een demonstrant wilde door de linie breken. Diegene is aangehouden voor het zich verzetten tegen de politie. De groep is in bussen gezet en naar een onbekende locatie vervoerd. Onder de demonstranten waren ook de ouders van een van de onderschepte opvarenden.

De flotilla is onderweg naar Gaza om hulpgoederen af te leveren. De meeste boten zijn door Israël onderschept. De afgelopen dagen zijn meerdere Nederlanders die op verschillende boten zaten aangehouden.

DEN HAAG (ANP) - Het treinverkeer van en naar Den Haag Centraal ligt stil omdat demonstranten zich op het spoor hebben begeven, meldt de NS. Hoeveel sporen ze bezetten is niet bekend, maar uit veiligheidsoverwegingen is het volledige treinverkeer stilgelegd, aldus een woordvoerster.

Het vermoeden is dat het om pro-Palestijnse activisten gaat. Spoorblokkades door deze activisten gebeurden eerder ook al, zoals vorig jaar eveneens op Den Haag Centraal. Ook op Amsterdam Centraal gebeurde dat eerder.

Aanklaagster Nelly Dansen, die eigenlijk Nelke Mast heet

Ja lees even mee, zit als volgt. Britse kunstenaar in Nederland Ben Lunato (tevens Jini Jane's gelukkige) maakte begin 2025 een aantal AI-afbeeldingen van wandelend 'bimbo-kunstproject' Nelly Dansen. Elsevier schreef hierover: "Lunato maakte de afbeeldingen nadat Dansen op sociale media een oproep had geplaatst voor mensen die samen met haar AI-gegenereerde beelden wilden maken (...). Lunato stuurde de afbeeldingen via privéberichten naar Dansen. Na een kortstondig vriendelijk contact, deed zij aangifte tegen hem. Volgens Lunato zou deze draai ermee te maken hebben dat hij verbonden is aan kunstenaarscollectief KIRAC (Keeping It Real Art Critics)."

Volgens Lunato genereerde hij op Nelly's verzoek zes afbeeldingen (allen ingezien door redactie), deelde hij deze enkel privé met Nelly zelf, zonder dat hier sprake zou zijn van realistisch ogende deep fakes, want de afbeeldingen "tonen weliswaar haar gezicht boven een ontbloot bovenlichaam, maar het lichaam en de enscenering zijn overduidelijk fictief. De vrouw is amper herkenbaar op de korrelige tekeningen en haar blote lichaam lijkt eerder op een slechte fantasy film dan op realistische erotiek." Twee van deze afbeeldingen zijn in de bovenstaande video overigens geblurd zichtbaar op 2:20.

Vervolgens startte Nelly plotseling een rechtszaak, volgens Lunato omdat ze registreerde dat hij zijdelings betrokken is bij het u welbekende KIRAC.

Okay, da's de achtergrond, dan nu de voorgrond. Onderstaand ziet u de verdachte voor de rechter, terwijl hij een van zijn kunstwerken toont, te weten Lisa's moordenaar Chris Jude met erecte penis terwijl, vrij naar Prometheus, zijn lever er levend uitgegeten wordt door een adelaar. Geen idee hoe dat het proces verder beïnvloedde, maar de zaak is door de politierechter doorverwezen naar de meervoudige kamer. 

Kort verhaal lang, Lunato zegt in zijn verweer dat "het niet eerlijk is dat hij wordt vervolgd voor een reactie op een open call tot samenwerking met AI kunstenaars, binnen een artistieke context waarin Nelly, de aangeefster, zelf voortdurend naakt is als artistieke uiting, performances doet als bimbo, speelt met de grens tussen kunst, pornografie en prostitutie. Met zijn werk probeerde hij aan te sluiten bij haar werk, om een samenwerking aan te gaan."

Helder!

Volgens WHO-directeur Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus ligt het aantal vermoedelijke besmettingen inmiddels op meer dan vijfhonderd. Goed zicht op de uitbraak is er niet: door een gebrek aan materialen zijn gemiddeld slechts zes tests per uur mogelijk.

An anonymous reader quotes a report from the New York Times: Meta told employees on Monday that it was reassigning 7,000 workers to focus on new initiatives around artificial intelligence, the latest change in a company transformation spurred by the powerful technology. Employees will be moved to four new organizations focused on building new A.I. tools and apps, Janelle Gale, Meta's head of human resources, said in an internal memo. The organizations will use "A.I. native design structures" and have fewer managers per employee than other parts of the company, she said, adding that company leaders will send details about the new roles on Wednesday. The restructuring "will make us more productive and make the work more rewarding," Ms. Gale wrote. Meta declined to comment further on the changes.
The move comes shortly before Meta begins laying off roughly 8,000 employees, or 10 percent of its work force. Ms. Gale also mentioned Wednesday's layoffs in her memo. "We know days like this are extremely hard, and we appreciate you showing up for each other," Ms. Gale said.

According to the NYT, employees have been asked to work remotely that day and emails about the layoffs would be sent at 4 a.m. local time. Employees in the United States will receive 16 weeks of severance pay, along with two extra weeks for every year they worked at Meta.

The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) left open a GitHub repository named “Private-CISA” containing plain-text passwords, private keys, tokens, and secrets – with obvious file names like “external-secret-repo-creds.yaml” and “AWS-Workspace-Firefox-Passwords.csv” – for six months. GitGuardian researcher Guillaume Valadon, fresh off a recent talk on Kubernetes secret leaks, found the public repository on May 14, and told The Register that he “quickly understood that the leak was bad and that time was running out. A national agency having 844 MB of production infrastructure material in a public GitHub repository for six months is as serious as a secrets leak gets.” Valadon, who previously spent nine years at France’s CISA equivalent, ANSSI, told us the leak included tokens for CISA's internal JFrog Artifactory, Azure registry keys, AWS credentials, Kubernetes manifests, ArgoCD application files, Terraform infrastructure code, GitHub personal access tokens, and Entra ID SAML certificates. GitGuardian reported the leaky repository to CISA on May 14, and the agency took it down a day later. A CISA spokesperson told The Register that it was aware of the report and is investigating. "Currently, there is no indication that any sensitive data was compromised as a result of this incident.” It’s not a good look for the nation’s infosec agency, which hasn’t had a permanent boss since Trump took office, is facing hundreds of millions of dollars in budgets cuts on top of deep cuts to staff and funding last year, and has suffered its share of embarrassing security snafus in the interim. In a Tuesday blog, Valadon said he initially thought the repo “was a hoax, given how suspicious the directory names (Backup-April-2026/, All Backups/, LZ-Artifactory/, Kubernetes-Important-Yaml-Files/, ENTRA ID - SAML Certificates/ ...), file names (external-secret-repo-creds.yaml, CAWS GitHub Token.txt, Important AWS Tokens.txt, AWS-Workspace-Firefox-Passwords.csv, Kube-Config.txt ...), and their contents (private keys, personal and professional GitHub tokens, AWS secrets, ...) seemed too good to be true,” Valadon wrote. It wasn’t a hoax – “The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency is aware of the reported exposure and is continuing to investigate the situation,” but it was a “catalogue of unsafe practices,” he added, containing passwords stored in plain text, backups committed to Git, and an “explicit” how-to guide for disabling GitHub's secret scanning. After initially reporting the leak through the CERT/CC portal, and only receiving an auto-acknowledgement as of the morning of May 15 – a Friday – Valadon alerted security journalist Brian Krebs about the publicly exposed secrets, which seemed to speed up CISA’s processes. By 6 pm EST that night, the feds took down the repository. Valadon told The Reg he gives CISA credit for quickly deleting the repository. “Most of our responsible disclosures take much longer, and many are never fixed,” he said. “Managing to take the repository offline in a day is impressive work.” He doesn’t know if any other parties with less altruistic intentions found the secrets first, although the fact that the repository was never forked (based on public GitHub events) would seem to indicate that it wasn’t widely circulated on the dark web. “The only ones that can answer definitively is GitHub,” Valadon said. GitHub did not immediately respond to The Register’s inquiry. GitGuardian isn’t aware of any of the exposed credentials being abused by unauthorized individuals “Each category of secret in the repository unlocks a specific attack path,” Valadon said. “Stacked together, they cover the full range: from destructive attacks and ransomware extortion to quiet, long-term persistence inside CISA's build and deployment pipeline. That last scenario worried me the most, and it's why I escalated through every channel we had until the repository was taken offline.” Plus, the committer used both a CISA-issued contractor email and a personal Yahoo email across the same commits, and created the repository using a personal GitHub account. “That mixed-identity pattern is one of the hardest surfaces for security teams to cover, and it's where the worst leaks happen,” Valadon said.®

An app that allows users to deepfake their appearance in realtime has predictably resulted in a streamer making nonconsensual and potentially defamatory content. Specifically, the streamer made himself look like Mr. Beast and said “I love touching little boys’ pee pees.”

Sam Pepper, a British internet personality known for videos and streams in which he harasses people with so-called pranks, and who has been banned from multiple platforms, used the realtime deepfake app on Kick, a streaming platform and Twitch competitor known for its loose moderation policies. 

Initially, Pepper made himself look like a seemingly random woman, but then switched his appearance to look like real people including Mr. Beast, Jeffrey Epstein, Amouranth, and Sydney Sweeney. When he appeared as one of the women, Pepper showed his AI-generated body to the camera, pulled up her dress, and played with her AI-generated breasts. 

The app Pepper used, called Delulu, offers users the ability to appear as any of these celebrities out of a menu of likenesses the app calls “skins,” many of which are created by Delulu users. Delulu users can make themselves look like animals, cartoons, and fictional characters, but also real people like George Floyd, politicians like Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, or celebrities like Kim Kardashian and Eminem. The site also includes skins for a number of adult performers. All users have to do to change their appearance is give the app access to their camera and click on one of these skins. Much like Civitai and other platforms and communities for sharing custom AI models, Delulu allows users to create and share their own models. All the skins Pepper showed on Stream appear to be user-generated. 

The result is not as convincing as some other pieces of software that allow people to deepfake their appearance in real time, but is free and easy to use. For example, we recently wrote about Haotian AI, a Chinese-language realtime deepfake software that’s marketed to scammers. Haotian AI costs thousands of dollars, is difficult to install, and requires a powerful video card. 

Delulu is just one of several AI video products from Decart, a company that has raised more than $450 million in several rounds of funding from established Silicon Valley venture capital firms like Sequoia and Benchmark. Decart also makes an AI video generator called MirageLSD, and a realtime video AI model called Lucy 2 similar to Delulu. One of the main differences between Lucy 2 and Delulu is that Delulu caters to streamers. 

Delulu’s terms of use don’t say anything about people using the platform to take on the likeness of other real people, but does say its policy is “to respect the legitimate rights of copyright and other intellectual property owners, and we will respond to clear notices of alleged copyright infringement.”

Kick and Decart did not respond to requests for comment about whether Pepper’s behavior was allowed on their platform. 

Decart presented realtime AI video tech, but not Delulu, at TwitchCon last year. Twitch did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
