The case shows that stalkers and criminals aren’t just using AI to make nonconsensual sexual imagery of their victims, but are also sometimes attempting to digitally recreate them as sex bots

A man in Massachusetts was arrested Wednesday after allegedly stalking, doxing, and harassing a female professor for seven years. Among a series of crimes, the man is accused of using AI to create fake nudes of the woman, and of making a chatbot in her likeness that gave out her name, address, and personal details on a website for AI-powered sex bots.

*sigh

Meanwhile:

Glasgow is to host the 2026 Commonwealth Games after a deal was backed by the Scottish government.

A scaled-down version of the event, featuring fewer sports and athletes, will return to the city 12 years after it last hosted the Games.

I remember the shit show it caused last time, homeless hostels in the city being closed, hotels used to house homeless were forced to evict them, homeless people sleeping rough fined and pushed out of the city... Good times 😬

@Dane that just gives a lil credit to the shipment being intercepted narrative

Could be all they pagers had been tampered with and somehow a method had been found to speed up the process - malware/firmware attack - or small amount of explosion compound had been put in they devices

Back in 1996, Israel’s Shin Bet agency assassinated a Hamas bombmaker with explosives in his phone

Both are speculation though but one is real 😜😂

@Dane if you are talking about the one in the market place then that wasn't a battery fire that could be a battery explosion and looked like a battery explosion to me

There are plenty videos and cases of batteries actually exploding and not a flame to be seen - its more smoke than flames

Im just speculating though

@llondel yes if they devices weren't tampered with

that's where the malware comes into play though.

malware can override they safeguards to allow you to then do something bad

Devices overheat all the time and have been known to catch fire, even explode, not hard to imagine a tampered device actually being used as a weapon.....

Again its all speculation anyway

That said.....

Soup anyone

We just don't know 😆

if malware was used, which some say was used, you could potentially gain access to a device's battery management system, which controls charging and discharging, and issue commands to rapidly overcharge the battery or prevent it from regulating heat dissipation properly. This could lead to the battery overheating and potentially catching fire or exploding.

If a Hezbollah pager shipment was intercepted that malware coulda then been put on they pagers - again some say that happened

@peeppeepcircus @matuzalem

there are plenty of old videos of lithium batteries exploding, in laptops, smartphones, and they do tend to explode in that manner - more smoke than flames happen - overheat a battery enough and fast enough and it will explode which you could do using malware

There was a story a few years back about something similar happening to target individuals - i cant mind keywords i used in my post - i mind me & phase talking about it when it happened

@matuzalem @peeppeepcircus if you've seen video of it happening, i saw one in a market happening, the explosion doesn't look that bad but the person went down like a ton of brick's and didn't get up again

The malware & technology used, that some "experts" say was used, we more than lickey wont ever be told about in full..... For a long time that is... Unless someone leaks methods used or one pager didn't explode, and is "dissected", and malware is found its speculation really

@matuzalem @peeppeepcircus yeah that's likely

Reports the pagers were all from a recent shipment gives credit to this happening - they intercepted shipment - installed malware on that shipment - waited for right moment knowing all pagers were active - *pushed big red button*

They shoulda bought 1-way pagers instead - 1-way pagers sold are powered by AA or AAA batteries - there mistake was purchasing brand new up-to-date pagers

Hezbollah thought going back to using pagers would help them

Only thing they went and got new pagers - pagers used by Hezbollah members were equipped with lithium batteries, which were likely responsible for the explosions - With batteries, a chain reaction called thermal runaway can cause the battery to generate even more heat and eventually catch fire or explode - the handheld pagers system was detonated using advanced technology that technology we don't know about
