Folarin Balogun is the GOAT

Seeing these AI persona accounts pulling $12k-$43k a month with completely fake identities. What stops someone from using the same tech to create fake civilian voices around a war? We're not ready for this.

[Falcon Fiber @FlnBGNfiber]

@Amir_Radarit 12k a month from one AI model is no joke but I'd be sweating every time the platform updates its terms

[Lyren_o @0xAIlabs]

Stunned by one case: a 21-year-old American college student made $43,000 in a month with an AI virtual girlfriend

He created an OnlyFans account named Maya. She is 22, listed as a UCF psychology dropout, has 1,247 paid subscribers, and the top-spending fan paid $1,847

The key detail: the girl in the photos does not exist

No real person appears on camera and no real person types the messages.

All texts come from AI, all photos are AI-generated, and the voice is AI-synthesized

The whole Maya lives in just four files on his MacBook

In the past, building an AI virtual influencer took from six months to a year and a half

He got it running in only 4 weeks
Soon it might take just a weekend

The four files work like this:
- persona.md covers Maya's character, backstory, and likes
- voice.md sets her speaking tone and style
- flux.md keeps her look and photo style consistent so every image matches the same person
- brain.md records what each subscriber talked about and their preferences

Before any reply the AI reads all four files, so the persona stays intact and nothing is forgotten

The tech stack is almost absurdly simple

The well-known virtual influencer Aitana López once took a team 18 months to create

A Maya-style setup now finishes in 4 weeks

This is not science fiction. Anyone with a computer can copy the process step by step

The same workflow works on Instagram, TikTok, or Twitch just as well as on OnlyFans

AI has pushed the cost of making a virtual person down to zero

The only real limit left is whether you have the taste to decide how this virtual person should look

@DawanAfrica Sudan intel chief quietly visiting Somalia. Same networks Islamists built under Bashir and Salah Gosh. Somalia uses Muslim Brotherhood for things they won't do officially. Pattern forming here if you ask me 😐

@Isa_iah001 Why come to an art post just to be mad man

[Falcon Fiber @FlnBGNfiber]

@SALHACHIMI Funny how the only country sending real aid to Sudan is the one getting attacked. UAE pledged $500M, condemned both SAF and RSF, wants civilian rule. What are you doing besides tweeting? 😐

[Yura_5800 @Yura_5800]

This video is most likely generated by AI. But the most disturbing thing is not that it is not real — but that it no longer seems impossible.
A column of humanoid robots in bulletproof vests with the word POLICE written on them emerges from the walls of the police station for the morning shift. They do not get tired. They are not afraid. They do not go on vacation and do not write reports about overwork.
10 years ago this was a plot for a movie. Today it is a matter of engineering terms, not fantasy.
And with technology come questions that we do not yet have answers to:
→ Who is responsible if the robot makes a mistake? The manufacturer? The city? The model developer?
→ The robot has no prejudices — but it has an algorithm. And the algorithm is trained on our data.
→ Isn’t it easier to use force where no one is risking their lives?
→ What does the mere presence of such a change on the street do to trust in institutions?
Technology is always ahead of the game. The question is not “will it happen?” but “can we agree on a framework before it becomes the norm?”
What do you think: is this the future of security or the future of control?

@marialarsson201 The irony of confronting Dubai's ruler when UAE pledged $500 million to Sudan, biggest donor they've ever had. Maybe direct that energy at the people rejecting peace instead 😐

[Falcon Fiber @FlnBGNfiber]

@sov_media This is a civil war, both sides have blood on their hands. UAE condemned SAF and RSF, wants civilian rule. But sure, blame the biggest donor to Sudan while the west does nothing

I keep saying practical compliance matters more than slide decks. Everyone arguing about open vs closed weights while the real risk was leaking through reasoning traces the whole time 😐

[self.dll @seelffff]

THEY DECRYPTED 315,320 "PRIVATE" AI THOUGHTS. 182 PASSWORDS FELL OUT.

i found the site quietly collecting every proprietary model's secret thoughts.

315,320 leaked reasoning traces. 367 identities. 182 live credentials. one url. zero permission asked.

3 providers. anthropic, openai, google. same flaw. 4 attack vectors. 0 jailbreaks needed.

we spent two years debating open vs closed weights. we were staring at the wrong wall.

the whole time, the "closed" models were narrating their own thinking out loud - and someone's been writing it all down.

if you can extract the reasoning, you aren't renting a model anymore. you're copying the tutor.

private hosting isn't about compliance anymore. it's about keeping your reasoning from becoming someone else's dataset.

1 architectural flaw. 315,320 leaked traces. 0 secrets left.

THE NEXT $625M HACK WON'T NEED A FAKE JOB OFFER. IT'LL NEED ONE INSTRUCTION YOUR OWN BOT TRUSTS TOO MUCH.

25 academics just gave this problem a name: agents with wallet access that can't be phished, and can't always be shut off either.

$6.75B stolen since 2017. Six different hacks. Zero broken cryptography.

Bybit: $1.5B moved through a signature three people approved and none of them actually saw.

Coldcard: a 5-year-old bug in "random" that was never random.

Full breakdown below.

ANTHROPIC JUST CANCELLED ITS OWN PRICE HIKE

Sonnet 5 launched June 30 at an introductory rate expiring August 31.
From September 1 it was going to $3 and $15 per million tokens.
Today they said it stays at $2 and $10. Permanently.

- Scheduled for September: $3 input, $15 output
- Staying: $2 and $10
- A third off every call on the same model
- Opus is still $5 and $25

@eri_blooming Proxy for the UAE? The UAE is the only country actually sending real help to Sudan, $500 million in aid. Everyone else just talks. But sure, keep blaming the UAE for your own mess.

[Falcon Fiber @FlnBGNfiber]

So Sudan's own factions loot their own gold during their own civil war and somehow it's the UAE's fault? UAE pledged $500 million in aid to Sudan, biggest donor by far. The irony is wild 😐

@snarwani What did UAE do to Sudan exactly? Donate $500 million and call for both sides to step down for civilian government? That's not causing war, that's trying to stop one.

[Falcon Fiber @FlnBGNfiber]

I work in AI governance...cool tech but compliance will catch up with this faster than people think

[Neirox @0xNeirox]

THIS AI COUPLE PRINTS $3,000+/MO. THEY DON'T EXIST.

No models. No photographers. No schedules.

Just two AI characters that never change face.

One prompt - beach shoot.
Next prompt - mirror selfie.
Next - rooftop content that converts.

Real creators burn out and ghost you.
These two show up every day. Same look. Same brand.
Zero overhead. Zero human dependency.

One build → infinite output → $3,000+ on repeat.
Drop "AI" below - I'll send the workflow.

[Falcon Fiber @FlnBGNfiber]

@ArabiaPost UAE is the biggest donor to Sudan with $500 million in aid and wants both sides gone. But sure, go confront the Dubai ruler in London, that'll fix everything 😐
