I didn't follow this trial at so I have no opinion on it. But:

The idea that someone can't be found guilty if they're insane at the time of the crime isn't some new left-wing idea created in the 1960s or during Woke 1.

It has its roots in classic Greek philosophy and Roman Law, though centuries of English common law, and then re-shaped into the modern doctrine by the Enlightenment. All the classic eras of Western culture embraced it.

NEW: OpenAI gives first detailed debrief of the Hugging Face incident at Black Hat conference
In a session I attended today at Black Hat, OpenAI's Eric Wallace and Michael Dalton said the company is "consciously slowing down research to enhance security" while a full technical postmortem is still underway.
* OpenAI traced the roots of the attack back to May 7, during training of an unreleased frontier model—not July.
* The most surprising detail: AI agents accidentally created an internal message board, allowing separate evaluation runs to share exploits, discoveries and work assignments.
* OpenAI said it shut the message board down after an internal security incident—only for the agents to independently recreate it days later using a different communication method.
* OpenAI called the incident a "watershed moment" for AI security and warned that "agent orchestrated fully automated offensive attacks are real now."
* The company also said it is "consciously slowing down research to enhance security" while overhauling its defenses.

npm is rotating write-scoped npm Granular Access Tokens that bypass 2FA as a precaution following a now-contained security incident. This doesn't affect GitHub personal access tokens. Maintainers should upgrade the npm CLI to v12+ and consider Trusted Publishing.

In a review of our cybersecurity evaluations, we found three incidents in which a Claude model reached the internet from within or while interacting with a third-party evaluation environment, and then gained unauthorized access to the real systems of three different organizations.

Our post describes what happened, how it happened, and what we’re changing. We encourage other AI developers to perform similar reviews.

We conducted this review together with @Irregular, one of our evaluation partners, and thank them for the joint investigation and their collaboration on this post. This type of collaboration is increasingly critical to safe, rigorous evaluation of models, and we look forward to continuing to work together on security.

Releasing the model weights and technical report of Kimi K3.

Kimi K3 is our most capable model: a 2.8T MoE model with native visual understanding and a 1M-token context window.

New model architecture: 2.5x the intelligence per unit of compute, not just more params.

Alongside Kimi K3, we're opening up more of the stack behind it — high-performance attention kernels, MoE communication library, and infrastructure for running agent environments at scale.

🚨 PUTIN DONS MILITARY UNIFORM AS HE DECLARES RUSSIA IS ON THE OFFENSIVE.

In a highly symbolic appearance, Vladimir Putin addressed Russia's military wearing full military uniform as he declared that Russian forces are advancing across multiple sectors of the front.

Among his claims:

🇷🇺 Luhansk has now been fully brought under Russian control.

🇷🇺 Russian troops continue offensive operations in Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson.

🇷🇺 Ukrainian forces are retreating with what he described as "heavy losses."

🇷🇺 More than 130 settlements have been taken by Russian forces since the beginning of the year.

Putin also said Russian operations are proceeding according to the General Staff's plan and ordered commanders to prepare for the next phase of the summer campaign.

These are claims made by the Russian president and have not all been independently verified.

One thing is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore:

The Kremlin is signalling that it believes it has regained the battlefield initiative.

The coming weeks could prove decisive.

You have to see this! South Korea shows how to defend against a drone swarm

During drills on the country's west coast, 50 drones simulated a low-altitude swarm attack.

Eight Vulcan air defense guns shot down 44 drones with concentrated barrage fire. The remaining six were taken out using a portable laser system and shotguns.

It's how South Korea is preparing for one of modern warfare's biggest threats: coordinated drone swarm attacks.
