This is the dumbest tweet ever written by an American, an astonishing achievement given the depth of competition for that accolade.
It's hard to know where to even start.
I'll go from the top and try wade through it, to arrive at where the focus should already be. /1
I know exactly what caused the computer outage for RBS in 2012. It was blamed on an update by us contractors which is partially correct. My line of code was supposed to be an inert joke for anyone getting to that level. It back fired. I left not long after.
On the day the whole political establishment claims we do not live in a two tier country, they announce this.
Note, the NHS makes NO drugs available exclusively to white people.
We're delighted to announce a new five-year partnership with Pepsi Max, officially becoming the soft drinks partner of the Scotland Men’s and Women’s National Teams
@PepsiUK 🙌
You always hear about the Kings or Clippers being the worst NBA teams of all time.
Dallas fumbling Nash (immediately became 2xMVP), Brunson (could have had him for half the value he signed with NY) and Luka has to be up there.
This x100!
In fact, I'll be filming reactions for content so I can claw back some of the money they've ripped us off for the trains to the stadium!

Cant wait to see the Chicago TunnelDiggers versus the Dallas Absolute Bastards compete for the Mars World Cup in 5.... no wait... 10..... no wait probably 25 years time
With $1 trillion, Elon Musk could buy all...
32 NFL Teams ($227 billion)
30 NBA Teams ($165 billion)
30 MLB Teams ($95 billion)
32 NHL Teams ($67 billion)
30 MLS Teams ($23 billion)
And still have more than $400 billion left over.

FIFA make last-gasp change to World Cup stadium rules: BANNING fans from bringing refillable plastic bottles, so fans must buy water in stadia
As of May, empty bottles permitted so fans could refill amid heat concerns. Not now

🇳🇴 A torcida da Noruega chamou mais atenção que os próprios jogadores durante a vitória por 3 a 1 sobre a Suécia, em amistoso preparatório para a Copa do Mundo.
🚣 Durante a partida, milhares de torcedores realizaram uma coreografia sincronizada que rapidamente viralizou nas redes sociais. Ao som de um canto ritmado, os fãs movimentavam os braços como se estivessem remando um barco viking.
😳 A cena lembrou o famoso "Viking Clap" da torcida da Islândia, mas com uma identidade própria que impressionou quem acompanhava o jogo.

I feel a massive own goal was made by not re-releasing ‘Letter From America’ as the Scottish world cup song.
Miles clear of all the Cinnamon-esqe guitar smackers and their grating Glasgow uni accents.
Today Instagram had this massive exploit where hackers were just stealing rare handles left and right. Hundreds of accounts gone.
People losing handles they’ve owned since 2010, some worth hundreds of thousands.
I own a few rare ones so I was actually stressed watching this happen in real time, which I haven’t been in years.
Obama White House account got hit.
These aren’t some random new accounts, these are verified, locked down accounts and they still got compromised.
The thing is the exploit is so simple it’s almost funny. Attacker goes to Forgot Password, says their account is hacked, turns on a VPN to match the target’s location (which now you can find on the about section of the page).
Instagram’s AI support flow asks them to verify with a selfie.
They grab a photo from the target’s profile, run it through an AI video generator to make an animation of the person’s face moving around, upload that to Meta’s AI as proof.
And Meta’s AI just accepts it because it can’t tell the difference between a real selfie and an AI-generated video of someone’s face
.
Once verified they change the email to theirs. Password reset link goes to their email. They own it now. 2FA gets bypassed somehow in the process but honestly I don’t know exactly how, just that it did.
Point is even locked down accounts went down.
Then you try to recover your account and you’re talking to a chatbot that has zero ability to help.
You can’t escalate to a human. You’re just stuck. Your asset is gone and there’s no one to call.
The whole thing just highlighted how stupid it is to automate account security without any human in the loop.
One AI fooling another AI while there’s literally no person anywhere to catch it.
Meta took hours to even acknowledge it while accounts were getting stolen every minute.
Now thankfully it’s patched but I don’t think it will be the last one. Stay safe!
I worry that Wembanyama will get caught up in the distractions of New York City, like the Rose Reading Room at the public library or the upcoming conference on participatory futures at The New School
