Just last night from me @Gizmodo: the FAA rolled out an AI air traffic tool seemingly ahead of schedule this week. I have no idea if it's connected, but we're looking into it. https://t.co/dQk3T0M5hQ

FAA issues a nationwide ground stop.

No domestic flights will be cleared for takeoff until the issue is resolved.

Incoming international flights will be evaluated on a case by case basis.

El-Sayed supporter Duane Gholston says he didn’t realize he convinced his dad, Mike Britt, to vote for Abdul until he came across my interview with him from last week. “He’s a blue collar, blue dog Democrat who hasn’t been a superfan of the party in recent years…”

SCOOP: Major U.S. banks are detecting unauthorized third-party AI agents inside customer accounts, including some attempting to take actions that appear to be independent of user instructions, sources told Axios.

The findings have alarmed banking executives, who are racing to restrict access to their systems as AI moves at a velocity faster than financial institutions can respond, multiple industry and bank executives told Axios.

Several banks are now preparing for worst-case and even “day after” scenarios, including how to rapidly secure or restore customer accounts if things go wrong, the people said.

Several bank executives told Axios they're struggling to distinguish between human users and AI agents. One executive said banks also struggle to determine whether agents are authorized by customers or potentially operating without their permission, more akin to rogue agent behavior.

“Elon Musk approached Donald Trump with the idea of slowing down Starlink in Ukraine, The Telegraph can reveal.
The billionaire tech entrepreneur approached the US president with the proposal to introduce speed limits on the system, which hampered Ukraine’s drone defences, according to four sources familiar with the discussions.
One of the sources said Mr Trump “agreed” with Mr Musk’s suggestion, paving the way for the Pentagon to execute the slowdown on Starshield, the military-grade version of the satellite communications system.

Americans oppose live-streaming Nidal Hasan's execution, 80%-18%, per a new WaPo-ABC poll.

But one group supports it: MAGA Republican men, who back it 57%-42%.

Got a lot of texts last night from pissed off GOP operatives on this story...

"We are out here fighting for our lives and these dudes are in some random ass country made up of too many consonants no one has ever heard of taking hundreds of thousands of dollars while telling all of us to chill out because they’ve got it," one told me.

Trump world is pushing back on their pushback — saying Blair is "working quite literally around the clock on races."
