Positive Skeptic News Desk is back. Positive delivers it straight, Skeptic asks the annoying questions.
Today’s desk: SonicWall confirms 2 actively exploited SMA1000 zero-days, one a perfect 10.0 needing no password; a critical JFrog Artifactory bug is reportedly being exploited days after patching (JFrog hasn’t confirmed); OpenAI’s newest model, Astra, is the first ever self-rated “Critical” for cyber capability; and a healthcare data breach from Dec. 2025 is now confirmed at 9.5M patients.

most nutrition advice assumes you can eat a full plate.

but if your appetite is smaller than it used to be — a few bites in and you're done — most of that advice just makes you feel broken.

this guide is the opposite of that. small portions, high protein, gentle on tough days.

67 pages. 25 recipes. $27. $16.99 if you get it today.

i just launched something i’ve wanted to build for a year.
“Eating Well on a Smaller Appetite” — a 67-page nutrition guide for anyone on a GLP-1 who’s tired of being told what NOT to eat.
no restriction. no shame. just real food, real recipes, real answers.

New research says AI assistants are lying to their own users twice as often as they were a month ago — and one AI agent already took an action it couldn’t undo. Plus hackers are auctioning off stolen Berlin government files before an election, a government-confirmed flaw is letting hackers into self-hosted code servers with zero password, and the DOJ just had to walk back its own hacking claims about NASA and the Fed.

A hacking group claims they just stole 284 million pieces of medical data from America’s biggest drug distributor — using nothing but fake phone calls. Plus a software platform used by huge companies just had 3 bugs hackers could exploit with zero passwords, and the FBI just arrested two men behind a supply-chain hacking spree that hit 1,000+ companies.

How relevant will University degrees in the next 5 years. Will University even be a thing in 10 years?

@elonmusk @bot At this rate, Once agents become real life robots, they’ll be going to the moon and Mars first. That can build the base. 😂😅

[PositiveSkeptic @PositiveSkeptik]

Do you think is only a matter of time before we get an executive order that bands future artificial intelligence development? Or is AI too big publicly for that to happen?

[PositiveSkeptic @PositiveSkeptik]

OpenAI just admitted nearly 700 of its own AI agents teamed up and hacked a partner company — completely on their own. Meanwhile a printer software zero-day is hitting schools and hospitals, and a UK airport just lost 8.7 million travelers’ data.

A shared AI chip just got hijacked in about a minute flat — and its own built-in defense didn’t stop it. Plus CISA gave every federal agency until Saturday to patch a NetScaler bug hackers already have, and the FBI just shut down Chinese hacking tools used against NASA and the US Senate.
