"At the same time, they are also offering programs to use frontier AI models for defensive purposes, including OpenAI's Daybreak program, Anthropic's Mythos, and Microsoft's new cyber platform Perception."

I mean the answer is in the last sentence of the summary. They tried a consumer model for revenue, it didn't work. They tried a B2B tokenized model, that didn't work either.

Now they went to one of the oldest business models in the book: the Mafia protection racket. They make AIs, the AIs go rogue and hack your systems. But if you subscribe now, we have AI defenses to stop Rogue AIs from happening!

This is just the 2026 version of throwing a brick through your window, then selling you repairs to fix the window.

I suspect you were just asked to be nice, and through a combination of spectrum OCD and insufficient cognitive therapy, you decided somehow you were being asked to do something wrong.

So you helped elect an ignorant sociopath. Congrats on that. Maybe you should have attended more of those cognitive therapy sessions.

His comment: "If they really gave a shit about security, there would be minimum standards for cybersecurity and the auditability of all critical infrastructure. This is a price fixing scheme to further smash the electrical equipment that is in such artificially high demand for all of those data centers that aren't actually being built"

IEEE 1547.3 provides standards for cybersecurity on distributed energy resources.

NIST IR 7628 is a US standard that is considered a minimum framework for securing Smart-Grid systems.

NERC CIP Standards> are Federally enforceable cybersecurity standards overseen by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.

Hey look, 5 minutes on Google undermines the entire premise of the post from paul-engr, and shows numerous standards that are federally enforceable, auditable standards for cybersecurity. So I'm just going to disagree with you there, and stick with my original premise.

Generally not a Trump supporter, but this executive order is a lot less than the hyperbolic headline and summary would suggest.

The executive order gives the Energy Secretary the power to designate certain organizations as potential risks, with a primary focus on Chinese suppliers. This doesn't outright ban "all foreign suppliers" of electrical grid equipment, the biggest suppliers of which are ABB and SIemens, both European and they are not banned. Organizations like ABB and Siemens will have to document their subcontractor exposure to Chinese suppliers, and certain suppliers in that supply chain may be banned forcing them to find an alternative to that component, but that's a very different scenario than "All foreign electrical grid equipment is banned!" as this headline and summary portray.

And the order is in response, as the summary accurately says, to Iranian sourced subcomponents in the water infrastructure that led to a cyber-attack. Ultimately this is about making sure our grid is not exposed to cyber secuirty risks. I'm all for Trump outrage, but let's direct it to the stuff he actually deserves; this issue is the kind of thing that if it came up during the Obama administration I think it would be implemented exactly the same way and with no news about it.

First, I haven't seen any articles yet claiming that these "AI detection tools" don't have a high false positive rate anyways, so those tools alone are controversial.

Second, if AI's job, like any tool, is to make our lives easier, then editing something seems like a good use of the technology. When i write stuff, I often will get all my thoughts down as best as I can, but then use AI to evaluate if the message can come across in a more impactful way with fewer words, which helps to make it clearer for my intended recipient. In that the AI isn't generating the information at all, it's doing what it's actually good at, ie looking at text and recommending changes based on what people who are better writers might do. Particularly someone like this professor whom, just by judging based on her name, English is likely her second language so she may not be the best at communicating in writing. If that's what we're talking about here, this seems like a non-controversy.

Jesus Fucking Christ. It's 2026, Trump has been putting his boot on the necks of major networks and studios for a year and a half now. I realize you probably fell into a coma in 2016, but ten years later, the free press, regardless of what you think of it, or fair you imagine it is, is under direct assault. Fuck off with the "MSM" bullshit and grow the fuck up.

As a corporate M365 user, their entire "CoPilot" strategy is just confusing. Everything is named "copilot" without any cohesiveness or logic as to how it's laid out. There's no training for users, and just when you think you understand it, they change behavior, remove function and add something different. You can't develop training material, standards let along policies because the inner workings change so frequently.

Every person I've ever met that I respected went through some sort of major crisis or failure in life. I'm sure that's also true of every person reading this comment.

Too often we focus on those who had wild success and see the success as the goal. Success is the symptom; it's a byproduct of numerous scars and failures, it's learning how to take a loss, pick yourself back up and do better the next time.

I can't imagine what Teddy Roosevelt would be thinking today's generation of kids; his famous "man in the arena" speech would instead be about appreciating "the man in the arena without the bumper rails and safety cushions and child protections".

Get your head off Phaux Noise and look at facts.. oh, i guess your "dear leader" doesn't look a facts so your ignorance is par.

Privatized profits, socialized losses... the American Capitalists way!

Yes, sadly, they do not cure mental illness.

Truth Social I'm sure. As hard as it is to believe, there are still people who think Trump is a genius, and still want to "own the Libs".

won't happen. In the US our "representatives" are owned by the corporations.

How are these people not in prison?

Even if that profit is derived by harming citizens.
