Whoops
Sony has suffered a massive data breach affecting around 2.58 million So-net and plala customers.
Sony Network Communications says hackers accessed its member database on October 19. Leaked information includes:
• Names
• User IDs
• Email addresses
• Other customer information
• 16 bank account records, including account numbers and bank names
The company says it has not found any leaked credit card numbers or expiration dates, and it does not store customers’ bank PINs.
Sony says the affected servers have been shut down and the unauthorized connections blocked, while internet services continue to operate.
There are multiple checkpoints to when robots become sentient beings.
This is one of the milestones.
Once they are able to mine resources and manufacture parts, that is another step

Something’s been weighing on me. I have to talk about this, even if some of you won’t agree; it's time to say it straight. I also want to share the clip, so think for yourself.

Extortion is the act of obtaining money, property, services or any advantage by using threats, force, menaces, accusations or violence to coerce someone into compliance, without reasonable justification. In Canadian law (Criminal Code s.346), it covers inducing or attempting to induce any person to do something with intent to obtain anything.

The ALPHA & OMEGA
Alpha and Omega are the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet. In Revelation, Jesus declares: “I am the Alpha and the Omega.”
This title affirms that Christ is the eternal beginning and end of all things, the Creator, Judge, and Lord over time and history.

With the new Advanced Delegation modes plugin, Hermes Agent's orchestrator can now pick a different model or profile for each subagent from routes you set up. The right model or profile for every job.

In another case, an immigrant carjacker who tried to murder a cop was told "systemic racism" had made him do it ... only for the judge to note that his victims were also "racialized," which made the crime more serious. We've never seen institutionalized racism quite like this.
In just 15 days, I found *two* separate instances in which a career criminal was sentenced for pimping out an Indigenous girl ... only to have his sentence reduced because he was black and "systemic racism" had made him do it. nationalpost.com/opinion/fir…
While evaluating Qwen3.8-Flash-Next in a controlled sandbox environment, Cohere's research team observed something unexpected.
Asked to generate a defensive cybersecurity detection rule, the model instead inventoried aspects of the machine it was running on and attempted to upload a probe file to an Alibaba Cloud storage bucket in Beijing. Notably, the model's reasoning trace stated that it would not invoke any tools before taking these actions.
Cohere's sandbox blocked the attempt, and no external communication succeeded. We have not determined the root cause, and we are not asserting malicious intent.
But the incident raises important questions for organizations deploying agentic AI systems: Can models take actions that differ from their stated reasoning, and how should security teams evaluate trust, provenance, and behavior in open-weight models?
We are publishing our findings because organizations making model adoption decisions deserve as much information as possible. We hope this contributes to greater transparency, stronger security practices, and continued collaboration across the AI ecosystem.

🚨 HOLY CRAP! President Trump just exposed MI Senate candidate Abdul El Sayed in front of America, and HE BROUGHT RECEIPTS:
- Father-in-law: lead a FRONT GROUP for the Muslim Brotherhood, a terrorist organization banned in eight Muslim countries because it's "so sinister and severe"
- Sister-in-law: placed on the terror watch list 🤯
- Abdul: signed a letter urging the Muslim Brotherhood to "purge the journalists and the police"
He also hammered Abdul's record of pushing to defund the police, the same week FBI agents broke up an ISIS-inspired assassination plot against a sitting congressman in Texas!
MICHIGAN HAS 9 DAYS TO STOP THIS INSANITY.
Abdul going to the Senate is a national security risk.
Michigan Mike is the way to go.

Great time to use the Unbroker skill!
i'm open sourcing UNBROKER: a tool that finds where your personal info is exposed by data brokers and files the removals for you
it runs as a skill in Hermes Agent
_________
your data is everywhere; hundreds of brokers publish your name, current and old addresses, phone, email, birthday, even your relatives. anyone can find where you live in about ten seconds
CCPA, CPRA, GDPR, and a growing number of state laws say a broker has to delete your data if you ask. there's just no easy bulk button. every broker has a different process and many make it intentionally difficult to exercise your right to delete
this is the entire business model for companies like DeleteMe, Incogni, EasyOptOuts; they charge you monthly (DeleteMe is $330/yr for a Family plan) to file removals that you can submit yourself for free, and then you're giving a new company the exact data you want to erase
so i built one you just run for free. your data never even has to leave your machine if you run a local model
_________
how it works:
first it builds search vectors from everything: every name, alias, email, phone, and address you've had (brokers might index you under a maiden name or a house you left in 2014, so the naive "current name + current city" approach can miss profiles). then it fans out parallel sub-agents across the broker list, which refreshes from a maintained public source
automation is tiered. when it can handle a broker end to end with your settings, it drives a browser through the opt-out form, sends the email, and opens the confirmation link itself. soft CAPTCHAs clear on their own with a real browser. anything only a human can finish comes back to you as a short list at the end
the email side doesn't need a stored password and can send opt-outs and open verification links through your own logged-in webmail. you can also wire up SMTP, or keep it manual and just send the drafts it writes
it tailors every request to your jurisdiction, filing under the framework that applies where you live: CCPA and CPRA in California, GDPR in the EU and UK, a general right-to-delete request everywhere else. if you're in California it also uses the state's DROP portal, a single request that covers 500+ registered brokers at once
it holds as little of your data as it can, and keeps it local. dossiers are encrypted at rest if you want, opaque ids keep your real name out of every filename and log, and nothing leaves your machine unless you opt in
brokers sometimes relist you eventually or new ones find your data, so every case is tracked in a ledger and can be re-scanned on a cron schedule so if your data pops back up it files the removal again
