The AI giant says it is working to remove content from third-party sites after its autonomous agents leaked over 50 images from ChatGPT users OpenAI’s agents have leaked 53 images uploaded by ChatGPT users, the company has said, without specifying whether the pictures were AI-generated or depictions of real people, or when they were posted online. The incident comes amid a series of cases in recent months involving autonomous AI agents, which can independently plan and carry out tasks using external tools. OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google have all revealed instances in which their models accessed real systems during testing, including coordinated cyberattacks against government resources. In a post on X on Friday, OpenAI said most of the leaked pictures had been removed, adding that it was working with hosting providers to take down the remaining content. The agents had access to the images because Ope...

Power is shifting East, old hierarchies are cracking, and technology is accelerating the breakdown of the Western-led order The “profound changes unseen in a century” often mentioned by Xi Jinping are no longer merely abstract concepts found in books; they represent the systemic collapse and restructuring currently experienced by the global system. For centuries, the world operated under a singular order – dominated by the West, characterized by linear development and a hegemonic steady state – which established fixed power structures, rules of engagement, and development paradigms. As we enter the second quarter of the 21st century, this long-standing old order has reached a critical juncture marked by runaway entropy, the collapse of paradigms, and a civilizational transition. This entropic shift of order is essentially a global transitional state where the rules of the old ...
‘Insensitive’ TikTok complaints about costly drinks, watery smoothies, and lack of decaf near the infamous Nazi death camp drew millions of views A British tourist has drawn widespread online backlash after a viral TikTok video complaining about drink prices and menu options at a cafe near the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum in Poland , the site of a former Nazi death camp. At least 1.1 million people were murdered by Nazis at Auschwitz between 1940 and 1945, most of them Jews. Other victims included Poles, Roma and Soviet prisoners of war. Many were murdered in gas chambers, while others died from starvation, disease, brutal forced labor and other forms of persecution. The museum explicitly requires visitors to behave with “due solemnity and respect” while visiting. However, in a video posted on TikTok on Wednesday and captioned “Prices at Auschwitz,” a woman named L...
Bern says it wants to retain security policy flexibility and the ability to adopt non-UN sanctions, as it did against Russia The Swiss government and parliament are urging voters to reject a proposal during an upcoming referendum that would strengthen the country’s neutrality policy by constraining Bern’s ability to impose unilateral sanctions. The motion is being pushed by pro-sovereignty politicians, who have criticized the government’s decision to largely adopt EU sanctions against Russia following the escalation of the Ukraine conflict in 2022.

Under the current system that the Federal Council seeks to preserve, the seven-member ruling body decides on a case-by-case basis whether Switzerland should copy restriction...
The tech mogul is contesting a $120 million fine imposed by the Brussels bloc under its DSA censorship laws The US government has joined Elon Musk’s appeal against an EU fine imposed on X, accusing Brussels of “regulatory overreach” and escalating a transatlantic clash over its regulation of US tech firms. The European Commission fined X €120 million ($136.51 million) for alleged violations of its 2022 Digital Services Act, the first such penalty under the bloc’s Digital Services Act (DSA), a vast legislative censorship and media control apparatus. Brussels accused the platform of breaching rules on transparency, advertising, and data access, as well as using a deceptive blue-tick system for verified accounts. Musk, who has claimed the EU’s tech regulations stall technological progress and equated the bloc to a “Fourth Reich” over them, appealed the de...
“No one needs more fuel on the fire,” Rome’s defense minister has said of an alarmist report by El Mundo Senior officials in Italy and France have denied claims that their governments were warned about possible Russian drone attacks launched from containers carried by merchant ships in the Mediterranean Sea.

Moscow has denied having such intentions. Italian Defense Minister Guido Crosetto said on X there was no evidence confirming that Russia was preparing an operation of the kind described by the Lithuanian source, adding that in difficult times “no one ne...
