2. So let's instead come from an ethics angle. Broadly speaking, companies and individuals can operate at 3 ethical levels. At the top: do what's ethical. Slightly below that "do what's legal". And below that "do what is not cost-effectively-prosecutable"

22 California billionaires have spent a combined $150 million to defeat Prop 40. Their combined wealth in January 2025 was $439 BILLION. By September 2026, it had grown to $722 BILLION. They're accidentally making the case for the billionaire tax better than anyone else could.

Today's jobs report is a reminder that tax cuts for corporations and the rich don’t create jobs or grow the economy. What's required is investment in working people — and better wages. When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs. Remember this.

Eyal is exactly right. It has long been the case that threat actors would adopt the tools of pentesters. Now adversaries using LLMs are telling them that this is an authorized pentest and the LLM will often leave traces of that.
You can detect some AI-enabled attacks by searching for explicit indications of penetration testing. This happens because threat actors tell their LLMs they are performing authorized engagements even when using open weight models, or use pentesting harnesses like cyberstrikeAI, PentAGO, Hexstrike.

229 new affordable homes are coming to the Bronx.

We just broke ground on Sol on Park:
• 80 homes for current NYCHA residents
• 69 homes for formerly homeless seniors
• 79 homes for low- and middle-income seniors
• 8,000 sq. ft. of community space, including a health and wellness center 

This is what’s possible when we invest in NYCHA and use the power of government to build a City where New Yorkers come first.
