As data breaches go, this is pretty sizable, significant, and also bafflingly bad in terms of time it took to discover and that the stolen data was unencrypted. News of this breach comes weeks after a huge theft of FBI agents' personal data. Bypass for ad-blockers: web.archive.org/web/20260930...

The Pentagon is notifying millions of current and former U.S. military servicemembers and staff that hackers stole their *unencrypted* personal information during a months-long data breach. The agency that had the breach also handles ID and login/credential access to U.S. military systems and bases.

Schmitt was not slapdash, but part of a well-coordinated effort. Hours before the hearing, Axios ran a piece touting Schmitt as a likely Vice Presidential pick for JD Vance, leading with “We hear the VP views Schmitt, 51, as trustworthy, intelligent, articulate and a deft political operative.

It’s just a matter of time now, and mostly a matter of when the money runs out. There is no future for Anthropic or OpenAI at their current scale. Hyperscalers need $308bn of annual ai revenue - around the revenue of Microsoft - for 10% return on 2026 and 2027 capex. Could be more with cost of debt.

It's so important to give credit where credit is due, and we are strengthened when we acknowledge the crucial work of others. So, our joint event in San Francisco is a real full-circle moment. Already 200 RSVPs! Grab tix while you still can.

text from nerd reich book: Outside the strangest circles of the tech world, few people paid attention to the 2023 Network State Conference, which was livestreamed on social media. In San Francisco, however, a local activist named Emily Mills watched the entire conference and raised the alarm on Tan’s affiliation with e/acc and Network State. “Garry Tan is an Effective Accelerationist who wants to take over the nation and the world with that ideology utilizing Network State style strategies,” wrote Mills in November 2023. “This needs more reporting.” Where others might have seen Silicon Valley eccentricity, Mills saw proof of an ideological infrastructure being built in real time, complete with real estate projects and political strategies

Emily did a lot of work but doesn't seek any credit. But my work would not have existed with hers. And it led me to the important work of many others. My book has 48 pages of citations, but it all started with her. "This needs more reporting," she wrote in 2023. I listened.
