REGULATE IT NOW

SCOOP: Major U.S. banks are detecting unauthorized third-party AI agents inside customer accounts, including some attempting to take actions that appear to be independent of user instructions, sources told Axios.

The findings have alarmed banking executives, who are racing to restrict access to their systems as AI moves at a velocity faster than financial institutions can respond, multiple industry and bank executives told Axios.

Several banks are now preparing for worst-case and even “day after” scenarios, including how to rapidly secure or restore customer accounts if things go wrong, the people said.

Several bank executives told Axios they’re struggling to distinguish between human users and AI agents. One executive said banks also struggle to determine whether agents are authorized by customers or potentially operating without their permission, more akin to rogue agent behavior.

    These disgusting attacks on Abdul El-Sayed are backfiring because they’re reminding Black voters how Republicans treated Obama and it’s pissing Black people off.

    Abdul El-Sayed: “The worst of the Big Ugly Bill hasn’t even hit yet. They knew it would be so disastrous to working people that they didn’t actually make it take effect until after the midterms. In January, Medicaid cuts, ACA subsidy cuts, all of that is gonna get worse. It’s about to be a nuclear bomb that goes off on our healthcare system”

    the norm was more often ” + ” than anything else, to the point where it became the industry standard among white people

    Zoomer girls are now more likely to reject “” nowadays, and this causes controversy among whites because it’s not the natural order of things

    Billy Crystal reveals the heartbreaking phone call that interrupted him right before he pressed send on his longtime manager’s obituary “I’m going into hospice. I have maybe a week. I just wanted to say goodbye. What a great life we’ve had together”

    “So I wrote as best I could, funny, intimate, good stories, something where I felt really good about it. It’s 8:45 Monday morning. I’m doing this. Do I press send? Do I press send?”

    The interruption: “I’m just about to do it, the phone rings. I don’t recognize the area code.

    About to press, rings again. I go, ‘Somebody’s trying to reach me'” “One of my really close friends, great guy named Bill Farley. Bill was on my makeup and hair team for every movie that I did, and a hilarious, wonderful guy”

    “I’ve enjoyed working with you so much. Is Janice there? She hears his voice. ‘Hey, Janice.’ ‘Bill.’ ‘Just want to say goodbye'” “

    And then the last thing he said was, ‘When I see you again, I’ll give you a trim.’ And he hung up, and I press send” x.com/firesideprime/…

    Patrick Stewart, Star Trek: The Next Generation and X-Men Actor, Dead at 86

    Patrick Stewart, best known for his roles as Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek: The Next Generation and Professor Charles Xavier in the X-Men franchise, has died.

    He was 86.

    Patrick Stewart is going towards that final frontier. The actor—best known for starring as Captain Jean-Luc Picard on Star Trek: The Next Generation and as Professor Charles Xavier in the X-Men film franchise—died on Oct. 28 at the age of 86 following a brief battle with Alzheimer’s Disease and Lewy Body Dementia, his family confirmed.

    “He has been held in the warm embrace of family and friends, surrounded by live music, prayer, tears, laughter, and the kind of profound emotion that only he could inspire after a lifetime of devotion to us all,” a statement posted to Stewart’s Instagram Oct. 29 read. “

    We will forever cherish the peaceful ease and reflection on his face, an enduring reminder of his invincible grace.”

    “His sonorous voice and singular talent will forever be synonymous with indelible performances in every genre,” they continued. “He explored the human condition in all its poetic complexity and brought hope not only to the far reaches of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but into science fiction’s most iconic final frontier aboard the Starship Enterprise https://www.eonline.com/news/1432553/patrick-stewart-dead-at-86-from-alzheimers-disease-lewy-body-dementia

    Some of us have long memories: Republican spoiler-candidate precedents:

    • Florida, 2020: Frank Artiles recruited a same-surname “ghost candidate” against Democrat José Javier Rodríguez. GOP won by 32 votes. Jury found Artiles guilty.

    • Minnesota, 2020: Adam Weeks said in a recorded voicemail that Republicans recruited him to siphon votes from Angie Craig.

    • Minnesota, 2020: Kevin Shores said an RNC-paid strategist recruited him to run under a cannabis-party banner. RNC denied involvement.

    • Wisconsin, 2012: GOP openly recruited six Republicans to run as Democrats in recall primaries.

    • Pennsylvania, 2006: Republican donors financed Green candidate Carl Romanelli’s ballot-access effort against Bob Casey.

    • Presidential race, 2024: GOP operatives helped Cornel West get on ballots. New reporting traces funding through a Musk-linked network—not directly to Musk.

    • Daniel Lubetzky@DanielLubetzkyI’ve had this weight on me for a while and felt the need to share it once and for all. Years ago, the CEO and co-founder of Semafor, a media publication, approached me. He presumably wanted me to consider investing, because he spent a significant amount of time boasting about all of his supplemental sources of revenue. I was stunned when he bragged about getting an enormous amount of money from the government of Qatar. The pretense was that he was receiving these funds to “train journalists.” I don’t recall the precise amounts, but recall that he acknowledged that the cost to conduct this “training” was a tiny fraction of what he was getting paid – directionally it was something like getting paid $2mm to conduct a “media training” boot camp that would cost Semafor $50,000 to execute. I pointed out that it sounded like he was being bribed – that nobody with proper intentions would offer to pay something that was 20-100X off market – and no entity pretending to be a journalism outfit should accept stuff like that, as it would compromise him. He insisted that wouldn’t happen. But over the course of many years, I’ve observed how Semafor continues to receive government sponsorships and perform all sorts of “trainings” and “conferences” in partnership with Qatar, while providing very complementary coverage to the government of Qatar. This is downright unethical – and particularly unbecoming of an outfit pretending to be “training journalists”! The problem doesn’t end with Semafor. The government of Qatar has been buying off media, education and other groups, with reports of how it deployed billions of dollars in the US higher education system. All of us who care about ethics should demand an investigation into these practices. Regardless of whether legal authorities choose to look into this, we as the people and the consumers should admonish such egregious behavior and ensure we avoid “media” publications that are so compromised. Countless journalists risk their lives every day to expose abuses in power. Semafor does a disservice to the profession by undermining trust.

    Getting caught sending dick pics to women who didn’t ask for them “exemplifies what it is to be a Christian”? How do Christians feel about @BrentTaylorTN using Christianity/God to absolve himself of responsibility like this? Does he really deserve to be rewarded with a seat in Congress? #ChaosVsCompetence #Mkay #TN9
