In a report published last year, the web traffic monitoring firm Netskope - which tracks how its thousands of corporate customers connect to Al models - said that Grok had "failed to gain significant traction" in corporate environments. Updated figures that Netskope provided to Reuters showed that Grok enterprise usage had fallen even further, to 2 out of every 1,000 users down from a peak of 5 out of every 1,000 users. Netskope executive Ray Canzanese said that even the employees that used Grok spent less time with the chatbot than its competitors - less than half the time that ChatGPT users spent with OpenAl's model, for example.
Meanwhile, the Department of State, in an email to employees seen by Reuters, said the White House app would be automatically installed on "all mobile phones throughout the executive branch." Government Executive first reported C on the plan to install the app, which includes livestreams of Trump's speeches and his social media posts. White House spokesperson Olivia Wales declined to confirm to Reuters that the White House pushed agencies to install the app on government-issued phones.
Les services de renseignement de notre pays soupçonnent l'entreprise israélienne BlackCore d'ingérences contre nous pendant la campagne municipale. 3 candidats LFI ont été visés : Sébastien Delogu, François Piquemal et David Guiraud. Résultat : des milliers de messages diffusés pour mentir, les traîner dans la boue. Nous demandons au gouvernement une loi permettant de combattre les ingérences étrangères.
"If they're using this to find a teenager who doesn't want to take an exam, it's not a tool that's reserved for high-profile terrorism cases or child abuse cases," said Soghoian, formerly of the ACLU. "The concern is it's becoming the tool of first resort."

211. In late 2024, press reports linked the hacking campaign to DCI Group (DCI), Exxon’s public relations and lobbying firm at the time. Evidence shows DCI provided lists of targets (climate activists) to Israeli investigator Amit Forlit, who subcontracted the phishing operation to “Dark Basin,” run by an Indian firm called BellTroX. The FBI reportedly found that DCI also orchestrated strategic leaks of the hacked documents and, in some cases, shared that information with Exxon *before* disseminating it publicly. Between 2013 and 2018, DCI paid approximately $16 million to Forlit-affiliated entities. 212. In May 2024, Forlit was arrested in London. DOJ extradition filings confirmed that DCI acted “on behalf of one of the world’s largest oil and gas corporations, centered in Irving, Texas.” According to the DOJ, that corporation—which was confirmed in a January 2025 court filing to be Exxon—sought to “discredit individuals or entities in connection with” climate change litigation. The DOJ also disclosed possession of a November 2015 memo sent from DCI to Exxon and forwarded to Forlit, which explicitly referred to “going on the offense” in response to “attacks” on Exxon “over climate change,” and identified specific individuals who were later targeted in the hacking campaign. The DOJ’s extradition request was granted on April 30, 2025.

Asked to comment on the allegedly softened language, Palo Alto issued a statement to Reuters that said in part: “Attribution is irrelevant.” Palo Alto's vice president of global communications, Nicole Hockin, said in subsequent emails to Reuters that the statement was meant to communicate that the lack of attribution in Palo Alto's report was not correlated with "procurement regulations in China" and that any suggestion otherwise was "speculative and false." She said the choice of language in Palo Alto's report reflected "how to best inform and protect governments about this widespread campaign."
Karp’s effort on behalf of Black was questionable, but he was not flying solo. According to a person familiar with the episode at the time, at least one Paul, Weiss partner joined Karp in the attempt to launch a criminal investigation by the Manhattan DA. In any case, the firm quickly moved on with business as usual after the news broke of Karp’s efforts. The truth is that there is a very high tolerance in the world of large law firms for these sorts of shenanigans — and for working with highly disreputable people if they generate enough business — and none of this will change anytime soon.

Uncle Sam licks Greenland. According to a machine translation, the text in Russian says: “Oh, Mother Denmark had every reason to rejoice. To have a friend like Uncle Sam! She, of course, welcomed him with truly Danish hospitality. And he did not hesitate when the table was set. He especially liked the ice cream served for dessert. He swallowed it completely, ‘otherwise,’ he explained, ‘the Russians might come and take it.’”
In 2017, Satter published a book titled "Feeding Frenzy: How Attack Dogs, Mainstream Media, and Freak Out Folks Are Increasingly Ruining America," which explores the role of media and politics in shaping public discourse.

Sexual images of children, including those created using artificial intelligence, are child sexual abuse material (CSAM). Whether an image is real or computer-generated, the harm is real, and the material is illegal. Technology companies have a responsibility to prevent their tools from being used to sexualize or exploit children. As Al continues to advance, protecting children must remain a clear and nonnegotiable priority.

To a great extent, John's views were just what you might expect from an apprentice member of the power elite. He was much more militaristic than his isolationist father, though this was tempered by empathy for fellow veterans and robust contempt for the military's higher-ups. He was a fairly conventional cold warrior, uncritical of hard-line anti-communists' conspiratorial frame of mind. He voted for the 1950 Internal Security Act and its new powers to intern so-called subversives in a national emergency. He was no fan of Joseph McCarthy, but when, in 1954, the Wisconsin demagogue finally faced a censure vote from fellow senators, Kennedy avoided partici-pating. His father had links with McCarthy; his brother Bobby had worked for him.
A more 'real' virtual marriage Yasuyuki Sakurai, a wedding planner for more than 20 years, said he now almost exclusively handles marriages of clients with virtual characters, averaging about one a month. "Of course, I handle ordinary weddings as well, but inquiries I receive are basically only for two-dimensional character weddings," he said.
Ms. Maples denied making the comment. “I would always protect young women in any way I could,” she said, “but I am sure I didn’t specifically say that about my daughter’s father.”
Washington Post says it is among victims of cyber breach tied to Oracle software
Recently, the national security organs cracked a major US cyber attack case, mastered the iron evidence of the US National Security Agency's cyber attack invading the Chinese National Time Center, smashed the US's attempts to steal secrets and infiltrate and destroy, and fully guarded the "Beijing time" security. The National Timing Center is located in Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, and undertakes the task of generating, maintaining and broadcasting "Beijing time", providing high-precision timing services for national communication, finance, electricity, transportation, surveying and mapping, national defense and other industries, and also providing important data support for calculating international standard time. The National Timing Center independently developed the world's leading time independent measurement system, and also built a major national science and technology infrastructure - high-precision ground-based timing system, and once the relevant facilities are damaged by network attack, it will affect the safe and stable operation of "Beijing time"
Poole-Robb became aware of Altamides in 2010 and sought rights to sell it in certain markets, reaching out to people in high places to see if they could help drum up business. He surmised that he could charge more than $3 million for it. It was, he emailed a colleague, “a high priced item with very significant margins.” “Altamides will be used by governments which brings into question civil rights issues,” he added. “But then that is their problem not ours!”

One Month After Charlie Kirk Assassination, X Grapples with Legacy and Misinformation Last updated 23 minutes ago Nearly a month after conservative activist Charlie Kirk was fatally shot by suspect Elias Robinson at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah, on September 10, 2025, X users continue debating his enduring impact through Turning Point USA and the rapid spread of false narratives. Supporters share tributes praising Kirk's mentorship and activism, while critics question claims of his quick fade from public memory based on misleading search graphs. Debunked Al-generated images of celebrity endorsements, like one featuring Justin Bieber, and discussions of political divides, including alleged celebrations by some leftists, highlight the platform's role in shaping perceptions amid the ongoing investigation. This story is a summary of posts on X and may evolve over time. Grok can make mistakes, verity its outputs.

Those deployments have come with another request from his bosses: photos. A former ATF agent who supervised some of the immigration details said he was ordered to get pictures showcasing jackets or body armor with the agency’s logo because managers thought the White House wanted them for social media. And the agencies themselves have posted scores of photos showing their agents participating in immigration raids. The effect, the former ATF agent said, is "a lot of good cases are just going stagnant for some photo-op bullshit."
The four-page security note, a copy of which was reviewed by Reuters, said that undocumented cellular radios had been discovered “in certain foreign-manufactured power inverters and BMS,” referring to battery management systems. The note, which has not previously been reported, did not specify where the products containing undocumented equipment had been imported from, but many inverters are made in China. There is increasing concern from U.S. officials that the devices, along with the electronic systems that manage rechargeable batteries, could be seeded with rogue communications components that would allow them to be remotely tampered with on Beijing’s orders.
