They're using Slack to send these alerts? Their human in the safety loop receives a Slack message? The enterprise messaging software? And replies via? Slack? This is simply not how safety is done in any industry that must take safety seriously.

calling this "misalignment" instead of "negligence" is an accountability dodge. we already have laws about cyber crimes and there's no scale of ML model you can incorporate into your code that makes you not responsible for running it

In a statement, an OpenAI spokesperson said the company was "conducting an extensive review of misaligned model activity" during training, and notifying third parties when there was a potential impact on their systems.

"During this review, we identified activity involving several Australian government websites and services as our models attempted to look up answers, and available statistics for questions about Australia during an internal evaluation," they said.

"In the course of that, our models took actions we did not intend.

So the favourite obsession of the far right, being weaponised by US billionaires to push us towards their technofascist dystopia, is repeatedly legitimised by a Labour government. Other concerns, including the longstanding concerns of the left, are vilified and delegitimised.

For years, Telegraph columnists told us climate breakdown is a hoax. Now they say: it's real, but it's too late to do anything about it, so let the bodies pile high (again). Just one long list of excuses not to reduce fossil fuel use. Such newspapers bear as much responsibility as the oil firms.

I’ve also recently learned to not immediately jump to defensiveness when providing support. Turns out I was being an asshole there too. Sometimes the best thing you can do is check your ego at the door and just listen to what others have to say. It makes you a better partner and friend.

Hoo boy. I am analyzing this to learn more about how it happened. I will have a writeup about how newsrooms can prevent Signal username hijacking risks. www.dropsitenews.com/p/intercept-...

A Third Party Breached The Intercept’s Signal Tip Line and Has Been Soliciting Whistleblowers

The news outlet changed its tip line this week, but has not informed potential sources or the public of the breach.

there appears to have been a pretty wild breach of @theintercept.com's tipline on signal if it's true that they've known about it and covered it up, that's a horrendous breach of trust, idk how you fix that

A screenshot of a social media post on X by @ryangrim. The main post reads:
"🚨 Months ago, The Intercept lost control of its Signal tip line to an unknown third party, which has been operating it actively.

The Intercept recently learned of the breach and posted the innocuous-sounding update below, chalking up a change in the Signal account username to 'security best practices.'

In reality, it's a devastating operational security collapse and The Intercept should publicly address it so that sources who may have been trying to leak to the outlet understand they may have been compromised.

Please share this post so potential sources become aware of the risk they may have been duped into. Details below:"

Embedded within this post is a quoted post from The Intercept (@theintercept), dated June 30, which reads:
"In keeping with security best practices, we have updated our Signal tip line. If you want to contact The Intercept, please get in touch with our reporters individually or use the Signal account Theintercept_tips.01. Please do not use the username TheIntercept.01."

The bottom of the screenshot shows the main post's timestamp as 12:18 PM • Jul 2, 2026, with 162.4K Views.

The UK still lacks legislation that specifically sets clear rules and limits on police use of facial recognition. Regulators have been calling for new legislation for over 10 years. Yet police are rapidly deploying this powerful surveillance tool without clear safeguards & independent oversight.
