I’m Jewish. I have family history that makes what’s happening in NYC right now impossible to ignore. This past week, mobs targeted synagogues in Brooklyn. A child was attacked. This is not politics, this is hatred, in plain sight, and too many people are scrolling past it. I made this video because silence has a cost. History has proven that. “Never Again” is not a slogan. It’s a responsibility. And that responsibility is yours too, whether you’re Jewish or not. Watch this. Share it. Say something. #neveragain

Last month, @AnthropicAI announced Mythos, an AI model so good at finding security flaws in software that the company deemed it too dangerous to release publicly. Weeks later, hackers reportedly broke in and got access to it anyway.

That's the future of cybersecurity in one sentence. The labs build powerful AI. The attackers get it. The labs are scared of what's coming and they're scrambling to defend the code.

But the scariest cyberattacks aren't aimed at code. They're aimed at people.

90% of company breaches start with a person. An email that looks real. A link clicked. A password pasted into a fake login page. The burglar isn't breaking in at night when nobody's home. He's at the front door in the middle of the day, dressed as a delivery guy, and the person inside lets him in.

AI is about to make these attacks faster, cheaper, and more convincing than anything we've ever defended against. Imagine an attacker who can send a million personalized phishing emails an hour, each one tuned to a specific employee's job, boss, family, and recent LinkedIn posts. That's months away.

Training videos, phishing tests, "external sender" banners. The old playbook was already failing. Now it's about to fail everywhere, all at once.

Almost no one is building for this.

I'm working with Jeremy Philip Galen and @charlemagnelabs because they're the team born to figure this out. Jerry spent 12 years at Meta in privacy and safety. Meta paid Charlemagne to find out how dangerous Meta's own AI could be at scamming people. Leading fintechs and household names are signing on as design partners.

Now they're building Agent Charley, an AI agent that lives on each employee's device, and if something looks off, it intervenes in real time. Before the click, before the paste, before the mistake becomes a breach.

If you run security at a company with anything to lose, let's talk.

@LeoTerrellDOJ @Stanford It always comes back to admissions procedures. Fix those, fix society.

[Paul Allen @newsofthetribe]

@JewsFightBack It’s always admissions processes. That’s the answer to why these top schools have so many moral retards. Fix admissions to elite schools, fix these problems.

[Paul Allen @newsofthetribe]

@TheLeoTerrell It’s admissions Leo.

[Paul Allen @newsofthetribe]

So they’re lunatics? Then why is UCLA admitting thousands of precisely these types of lunatics as undergrads and grad students each year? Is the problem lunacy, intolerance or biased admissions? Could it possibly be that the people choosing students reflect the growing anti-Israel, anticolonial, woke identity politics of its own staff and faculty?

[Paul Allen @newsofthetribe]

@stevenburg @UCLA The problem isn’t intolerance on campus, it’s who UCLA and other universities are admitting. The problem is the woke admissions processes and staff.

[Paul Allen @newsofthetribe]

@petersavodnik The problem isn’t intolerance. The problem is clearly who UCLA is admitting.

[Paul Allen @newsofthetribe]

@IsraelWarRoom @usedgov These NYC teachers are just preparing students to apply to college at UCLA, Berkeley and Columbia.

[Paul Allen @newsofthetribe]

@marklevinshow Let’s solve the root problem: Biased admissions that favors woke applicants. Our universities are admitting anticolonial zealots and then wondering why their students are wearing hijabs. You can’t make wine with rotten grapes. Fix admissions!

[Paul Allen @newsofthetribe]

Ignores the actual problem. It’s not intolerance, it’s UCLA’s admission criteria. They selectively admit students mirroring their faculty and staff’s own growing anticolonial and identity politics ideologies. You can’t make wine with rotten grapes no matter how impressive the barrel. Fix admissions and you fix these problems. Continue ignoring admissions and we’ll have huge armies of discriminatory antisemites graduating from UCLA and other UC’s every year (as we do now).

An angry letter promoting tolerance achieves absolutely nothing.

[Paul Allen @newsofthetribe]

@Ostrov_A @CHSommers Pausing? It’s worth pausing UCLA until they can fix the root problem, which is the values and character of thousands of of students they’re admitting each year.

[Paul Allen @newsofthetribe]

Completely ignores the root problem. As a two time UCLA grad deeply involved in starting intercultural dialogue on campus in the 80’s, the root problem isn’t intolerance, it’s admissions biases. The UC system is selectively admitting students lacking common sense and judgement and favoring woke applicants espousing the same identity politics and anticolonial fervor shared by a growing percentage of its staff and faculty. Regents need to take their heads out of their a$$es and wake up before it’s too late. The UC system is literally recruiting and graduating armies of discriminatory antisemites every single year.

[Paul Allen @newsofthetribe]

Yes but I’ve met many UC students and the system is not screening well for common sense. Plenty of exceptional ones, but on the whole there seem to be a large percentage, prob a majority, of all ethnic backgrounds and nationalities, many US citizens, who bring with them on matriculation a well rooted worldview based on identity politics, political correctness, social crusading, anticolonial fervor and a narrow understanding of world politics and history. Surely the UC system can better screen during admissions.

You can’t make good wine from rotten grapes. The barrel isn’t the problem.

[Paul Allen @newsofthetribe]

I have two degrees from UCLA, including one from the School of Public Policy. It’s a garbage university despite some remarkable researchers. From its social justice crusading faculty to antisemitic student body to oversized classrooms, to its overemphasis on training undergrads for academic careers, it needs a complete overhaul.

[Paul Allen @newsofthetribe]

@AAGDhillon The UC system needs a complete overhaul. Entirely new board of regents and new chancellors systemwide.

[Paul Allen @newsofthetribe]

@TheLeoTerrell I also attended UCLA. Twice! Burn it down and start OVER. Sadly it’s too far gone.

[Paul Allen @newsofthetribe]

@AvivaKlompas UCLA and all UC’s engage in highly discriminatory admissions practices. That’s why they keep graduating these armies of moral retards.
