An Israeli app is claiming to turn politicians’ supporters into “digital fighters” by feeding them AI-generated replies for “rewards.”
It was just used for the first time in Canadian politics — that we know of.
I'm working with National Observer to share Rory White’s scoop:

Major and concerning development from the chaos of the AI arms race.
Last week, a company called Hugging Face (which hosts AI models and datasets) said it had been subject to a cyberattack. This was a completely new kind of attack. For the first time, an AI agent has executed an autonomous attack on another system.
Yesterday, OpenAI admitted that some of its models had escaped their sandbox and were responsible for the intrusion. This is a first (at least we hope it is!) and even OpenAI is calling it "an unprecedented cyber incident”.
These companies, and the tech oligarchs leading them, are completely out of control. The Carney government is committing a grave error by embracing corporate generative AI with no controls, regulation, or red lines whatsoever.
We need a data centre moratorium, and a transparent, national debate on the threats AI poses, immediately. This is terrifying stuff that needs sunlight and government regulation with maximum urgency.

I need your help, and I hate asking you for it! It sucks!
As a direct result of my journalism, my safety situation is the worst it's ever been. But I'm so proud of my work.
To be able to keep doing it, I need to make a push for more paid subscribers.
Please, hear me out:

The new NDP leader is @avilewis, and the worst people on the internet are having an absolute meltdown about it.
I think that might be a good sign — because there are very specific, exciting reasons why he pisses them off.
Let me tell you all about them:

I’ve unmasked a white nationalist fight club in my city of Montreal.
After weeks of research, with help from friends, I can reveal an Olympian as a member of the Frontenac Active Club — one who, unbeknownst to the owners, brought them to a local gym to train and take propaganda photos.
Here’s my investigation:

NDP leadership hopeful @TonyMcQuail paused his fundraising efforts with one goal in mind:
Redirecting those donors so his competitor, Tanille Johnston, could stay in the race.
It worked -- but Tanille refused to leave Tony behind.
The result? The most heartwarming story I've seen in a while:

I think it's reasonable to make it unbearable for CIJA to participate in public events. If someone is leveraging everything it has to get Canadians to support the mass murder of people, it is imperative that people of good conscious resist them.

At a vigil in Montreal for the child victims of Israel’s genocide of Palestinians, advocates have been reading each of these children’s names — from youngest to oldest.
They started at 8:00am. By 9:00pm, they had only reached the names of the nine-year-olds.

PLEASE @AnitaAnandMP and @MarkJCarney DO SOMETHING!
My god…it’s just monstrous. We have the power. Sanctions. Two way arms embargo.
How can our government not even try to stop this??

Another whistleblower, this time from the Toronto Star, is speaking out about their newsroom’s censorship of stories on Palestine — a major reason @cjjpmedia exists.
It rang true. Because part of what they described also happened to me.
I haven't shared this publicly until now:

On days like this it's hard to work in news — and I’d imagine it’s also hard to listen to it.
A lot of bad stuff is happening. In the U.S., in Gaza, and here at home through our government’s inaction.
But even on days like this, please don’t give up.
You have power:

BREAKING:
Both the White House and RNCC have lashed out at the creators of this ad.
It must have struck a nerve. Maybe they don't like being outed as fascists.
You know what to do: SPREAD THIS EVERYWHERE!
