We continue to receive complaints from Calgarians in relation to receiving fictitious calls from scammers impersonating our officers. The calls seem to be targeting a large portion of out-of-province & Calgary-based residents. Calgarians are also asked to discuss this scam with members of their family to ensure they are aware that this behaviour is not the way officers will interact with Calgarians. In many cases, callers report speaking with someone who claims to be investigating them or receiving a voicemail from an individual identifying themselves as a CPS officer. The phone number displayed on caller ID may appear to be a legitimate Calgary Police Service number, including a CPS district office number. However, caller ID information can be spoofed & should not be relied upon to verify the legitimacy of a call. As a reminder, Calgary Police Service officers will never contact members of the public and request money, gift cards, cryptocurrency, banking information or financial cards as part of an investigation. Calgarians are reminded of the following tips to protect themselves: ✅ Be suspicious of unexpected phone calls or voicemails claiming to be from police, especially if you are told you are under investigation or asked to take urgent action. ✅ Do not share personal information, financial details, passwords or identification documents with an unsolicited caller. ✅ Remember that phone numbers can be spoofed. Even if your caller ID displays a Calgary Police Service phone number, the call may not be legitimate. ✅ Calgary Police Service officers will never ask you to provide money, gift cards, cryptocurrency, banking information or financial cards as part of an investigation. ✅ If you are unsure whether a call is legitimate, hang up and contact the Calgary Police Service or the organization directly using a verified phone number. Anyone who has suffered a financial loss or had their personal information compromised as a result of fraud can report it to the Calgary Police Service by calling the non-emergency line at 403-266-1234 or by contacting Crime Stoppers.

This is a shocking reminder of why you can never let your guard down, even when dealing with retail employees at a major service provider. ​In a disturbing breach of trust, a Metro by T-Mobile store associate took advantage of a customer who was simply trying to upgrade a phone. While pretending to assist with the device and transfer data, the worker took the customer’s unlocked phone and secretly opened their Cash App. ​The employee successfully transferred $400 directly to her own account. Greedy for more, she immediately tried to drain another $500. Fortunately, the bank flagged the second back-to-back transaction as highly suspicious and denied the transfer, stopping the theft from escalating. Police were called to the scene, and bodycam footage captured the investigation that ultimately exposed the employee’s pattern of predatory behavior. ​This incident serves as a massive wake-up call for everyone. Your phone is your digital wallet, and handing it over to anyone—even a retail worker in uniform—comes with severe risks. ​To protect your money and your identity, always follow these critical security steps: ​1. Enable a security lock (Face ID, fingerprint, or a strict PIN) explicitly for all financial apps like Cash App, Venmo, and mobile banking. Even if your phone is unlocked, the apps themselves should require a separate login. 2. Never give your phone’s master passcode to a retail employee. They do not need it to activate a device. 3. Log out of your financial and password-manager apps before handing your phone over for tech support. 4. Watch the employee like a hawk. If they need to take your phone to a back room, tell them you prefer the work be done right in front of you. ​Don't let a routine errand turn into a financial nightmare. Stay vigilant and lock your data.

🚨To fight digital IDs in the U.S., you must ditch your REAL ID🚨 "The REAL ID is a federal ID masquerading as a state driver's license...the federal gov't has hijacked the state DMVs...according to the law [gov't] can require it for anything...the [DHS] Secretary determines." This clip of Twila Brase (Twila Brase, RN, PHN, Author), author and co-founder of Citizens' Council for Health Freedom, is taken from a discussion with Catherine Austin Fitts (The Solari Report | Catherine Austin Fitts) et al. posted to the Children's Health Defense (Children’s Health Defense) Rumble channel on November 13, 2025. ---------------Partial transcription of clip---------------- Catherine Austin Fitts: "A REAL ID is something that evolved from an effort to get a national ID at the time of the Patriot Act, and it's been integrated with the driver's licenses in every state. So most people get a REAL ID attached or integrated into their driver's license, correct?" Brase: "Yeah. Although I'd like to say it sort of the other way around. What they have is a real ID, and the federal government is allowing the state to use it for driving. Driving purposes. And so, one of the things I just like to say to get people to understand how this is working is that when you have a REAL ID, the REAL ID is a federal ID masquerading as a state driver's license. People see it looks just like their driver's license before they got a REAL ID, but they do notice that there's a star on it. So it's a— It's a whole masquerading process here which is keeping the American people from understanding what's happening. "And essentially the, the federal government has hijacked the state DMVs by virtue of the fact that the legislators around the country, have decided to bow to the federal government to give up the constitutional rights and the 10th Amendment rights of the people and the states and hand it over to the federal government. "So the federal government has nationalized identification and driving privileges. Or you could say that they have nationalized identification through the REAL ID and then told the states, yeah, you can use it as a, as a driver's license. We will allow you to use it as a driver's license, but we require it for getting on a plane, we require it for federal buildings, we require it for nuclear facilities. And according to the law, we can require it for anything that we want that the Secretary determines. "And so... It's a federal ID, and it could be a federal ID that you— that would be required for you to open a bank account, to access medical care, to go to college— or rent a hotel room or rent a car or get married or anything, because that's what the law says. The law says that its official purposes include any purpose that the Secretary of Homeland Security shall determine. So any purpose. And right now, the American people don't realize the system that's being set up here. "I think the other thing to understand about REAL ID is that the federal government is creating a facial recognition system for the country through the REAL ID, because the real ID requires a biometric, starting with the face. And so, you know, the idea that the government is going to— has claimed a right to collect and capture the coordinates of your body for their control should be anathema to every American. "But Americans don't realize this. They don't realize that the picture that's being taken is a digital picture for the creation of a facial recognition system. A government facial recognition system where all of people's faces are being put into a database. And I'm going to add here because a lot of people, they go to the DMV and they don't understand the picture that's being taken. They just think it's a picture, right? They don't, they don't understand. But what they do understand is that when they go to fly, they're being asked to stand in front of a camera there. So what I'd like to say about that is, so this whole facial recognition system is being created through the REAL ID and about 56% of the American public have their faces in the government database already."

I've been asked to review and provide thoughts on the question of a potential targeting call in the Hardin-Simmons Cowboy Football / UMHB Football🏈 #d3fb game Saturday. I have synced up two videos -- one from UMHB's broadcast and one posted by In The (D3FB) Huddle contributor Riley Conlee (Riley Conlee) (if he could provide credit to the videographer of it, I'd appreciate it). There is a full-speed view and a 20% speed view of the central action included in the video. To evaluate targeting, we have to review both aspects of the rule to see what, if anything, qualifies. I want to provide the entire set of rules (9-1-3 & 9-1-4): "Targeting and Making Forcible Contact With the Crown of the Helmet ARTICLE 3. No player shall target and make forcible contact against an opponent with the crown of their helmet. The crown of the helmet is the top segment of the helmet; namely, the circular area defined by a 6-inch radius from the apex (top) of the helmet. This foul requires that there be at least one indicator of targeting (See Note 1 below). When in question, it is a foul. (Rule 9-6) (A.R. 9-1-3-I) Targeting and Making Forcible Contact to Head or Neck Area of a Defenseless Player ARTICLE 4. No player shall target and make forcible contact to the head or neck area of a defenseless opponent (See Note 2 below) with the helmet, forearm, hand, fist, elbow or shoulder. This foul requires that there be at least one indicator of targeting (See Note 1 below). When in question, it is a foul (Rules 2-27-14 and 9-6). (A.R. 9-1-4-I-VI) Note 1: “Targeting” means that a player takes aim at an opponent for purposes of attacking with forcible contact that goes beyond making a legal tackle or a legal block or playing the ball. Some indicators of targeting include but are not limited to: - Launch. A player leaving their feet to attack an opponent by an upward and forward thrust of the body to make forcible contact in the head or neck area. - A crouch followed by an upward and forward thrust to attack with forcible contact at the head or neck area, even though one or both feet are still on the ground. - Leading with helmet, shoulder, forearm, fist, hand or elbow to attack with forcible contact at the head or neck area. - Lowering the head before attacking by initiating forcible contact with the crown of the helmet. Note 2: Defenseless player (Rule 2-27-14). When in question, a player is defenseless. Examples of defenseless players include but are not limited to: - A player in the act of or just after throwing a pass. This includes an offensive player in a passing posture with focus downfield. - A receiver attempting to catch a forward pass or in position to receive a backward pass, or one who has completed a catch and has not had time to protect themselves or has not clearly become a ball carrier. - A kicker in the act of or just after kicking a ball, or during the kick or the return. - A kick returner attempting to catch or recover a kick, or one who has completed a catch or recovery and has not had time to protect themselves or has not clearly become a ball carrier. - A player on the ground. - A player obviously out of the play. - A player who receives a blind-side block. - A ball carrier already in the grasp of an opponent and whose forward progress has been stopped. - A quarterback any time after a change of possession - A ball carrier who has obviously given themselves up and is sliding feet- first. - A player attempting to recover a loose ball." We need to start at Note 2 to see if Kyle Brown qualified here as a "defenseless player." If not, then 9-1-4 would not apply to him here. Kyle was not a receiver or a passer per se here -- he was clearly a runner downfield and was not in the grasp of any player. As a result, he was not "defenseless" by definition. That means that the only way targeting can be called here is if the provisions of Rule 9-1-3 were violated. Rule 9-1-3 is VERY specific about the initial requirement before we can go to the question of a required indicator: "No player shall target and make forcible contact against an opponent with the crown of their helmet." The crown of the helmet is "the top segment of the helmet, specifically the circular area with a 6-inch radius from the apex (top) of the helmet." In the videos, we see a couple of telling signs. First, Kyle appeared to actually lower HIS helmet as the contact became imminent, which is something coaches advise against for a variety of reasons, including self-preservation. But what is telling is that the UMHB defender attempted to peel off as he saw the angle of the contact he was heading toward with Brown. Specifically, he appeared to end up perpendicular to Brown, perhaps catching Brown's facemask enough to cause the helmet to fly. Yet, that contact was NOT with the defender's crown. As a result, since Brown was not defenseless by rule and because the crown of the helmet was not used for forcible contact to the head/neck area, the picking up of the flag by the officials was appropriate. That said, I spoke with an official who reviewed the videos without commentary and who landed in the same spot as I did concerning the above. They stated that if immediate replay review was available, crews will generally throw the flag and go to review (here, it likely would have been overturned by review, preserving the defender's eligibility). Since the ASC is not providing the on-field replay review yet, the officials' decision would have impacted the game by ejecting a player for the last 6 minutes of the first half until a Halftime review would have been available. For those wondering about how replay is impacting the game, I think this is a good reminder of the nuances it can impact.

WOW… this is pretty amazing! 🚨 The “Big Beautiful Bill” includes a MAGA Baby Savings Account for Newborn Babies! It aims to provide a financial head start for children by establishing investment accounts seeded with a one-time $1,000 federal contribution at birth. Everything you need to know… 🔴 Key Features of MAGA Savings Accounts: The federal government would deposit $1,000 into a tax-advantaged savings account for each eligible child. The funds are intended to grow through investments, potentially in U.S. equities, until the child reaches 18. - Contributions: Parents, relatives, friends, or employers can contribute up to $5,000 annually per child using after-tax dollars. These contributions grow tax-deferred, but withdrawals are subject to capital gains tax. 🔴 Usage Restrictions: - Funds cannot be accessed until the child turns 18. - At 18, up to 50% of the funds can be withdrawn for specific purposes: higher education, training programs, small business loans, or first-time home purchases. - At 25, the account holder can withdraw the full balance, but only for the same limited purposes. 🔴 Tax Benefits: The accounts are described as "exempt from taxation" in some sources, implying tax-free growth on investments, though withdrawals may incur capital gains tax. The structure resembles a Roth IRA or 529 plan but with unique restrictions. 🔴 Eligibility To qualify for a MAGA Savings Account, a child must meet the following requirements: 1. U.S. Citizenship: The child must be a U.S. citizen "at birth." 2. Social Security Number (SSN): The child must have an SSN, and at least one parent (or the taxpayer claiming the child as a dependent) must provide a work-eligible SSN. If the parent is married, their spouse may also need a work-eligible SSN. 3. Birth Date: The program applies to children born between January 1, 2025, and December 31, 2028, as part of a pilot program. Some sources mention an age cap, typically children under 8 years old at the program's start (January 1, 2026), though this varies across drafts. 4. Parental Option: Parents can accept or decline the account for their child.

PART 1: Bret Baier interview with Elon Musk and DOGE breakdown: - The goal is to reduce the Federal Deficit by $1 trillion dollars - Reduce the spending by 15% by eliminating waste and fraud - 15% reduction can be done without affecting any of the critical government services - Timeframe to reduce the federal deficit by $1 trillion dollars is 130 days - The sheer amount of waste and fraud in the government. It is astonishing. It's mind blowing. “We routinely encounter wastes of a billion dollars or more, casually” - The Government paid $1 billion dollars for a “simple survey” that should close no more than $10k. “A billion dollars for a simple online survey, do you like the national park? And then there appeared to be no feedback loop for what would be done with that survey. So the survey would just go into nothing” Real breakdown: ““We are cutting the waste and fraud in real time. So every day that passes, our goal is to reduce the waste and fraud by $4 billion a day every day, 7 days a week. And SO FAR WE ARE SUCCEEDING.” That’s $1.4 TRILLION DOLLARS PER YEAR in savings by DOGE” - DOGE does make mistakes, we correct them quickly, and we move on - DOGE has a rocket scientist as part of the team - Without DOGE the country would go bankrupt - Minimum target of DOGE seems to be around $1 billion dollars but they do take on smaller amounts - All cuts by DOGE are put on the DOGE website for maximum transparency - Congress has a duty to address fraud and wasteful spending, they haven’t been doing that. “We try to keep Congress as informed as possible, The law does say that money needs to be spent correctly. It should not be spent fraudulently or wastefully” - DOGE has “seen actually great support, at least from the Republican side of the House” - Democrats “say what we're doing is somehow unconstitutional or not legal” (Democrats want to keep the fraud spending) - Government documents will be digitized - The current paper system is so inefficient only 8,000 government employees can be retired per month. Backlog of 6-9 months processing time - Many processes in government look like they haven’t changed or been updated since the 1950’s Social Security: Elon Musk is not trying to eliminate Social Security, “2 improvements that we're trying to make to Social Security are: - Helping people that legitimately get benefits, protect them from fraud that they experience every day on a routine basis, - Make the experience better” “They get phone calls every day of people trying to change direct deposit information. So when you want to change your bank account, you can call Social Security. We learned 40% of the phone calls that they get are from fraudsters.” - Nearly half of all Social Security calls are fraud - Updates to the Social Security website are coming, “The Social Security Administration website crashed four times in 10 days this month because the servers were overloaded, blocking millions of retirees and disabled veterans from logging into their online accounts.” This will be fixed - There are over 15 million people that are over the age of 120 that are marked as alive -This 15 million is a lot of fraud, “There’s no way to use those for good intentions. So one of the things the DOJ team is doing is carefully and very methodically looking at those and making sure that any fraudulent ones are eliminated.” HHS, Medicare, Medicaid and NIH - HHS: Making sure we continue to have the best biomedical research in the world - Making sure, which President Trump has said over and over again, that we 100% protect Medicare and Medicaid New NIH Policy Proposal: “NIH as an example, today, if you're a NIH researcher and you get $100 grant at your university, today you get to spend 60% of that and your university spends 40% of that. The policy that we're proposing to make is that you get to spend 85% of that and your university spends 15% So that's more money going directly to the scientists who are discovering new cures.

Possibly the biggest change in Microsoft Teams history? Teams without the Teams? Public preview in November to desktop, mobile, iOS, and Android. Here is what you need to know: 🟣 Microsoft is introducing a new combined chat and channels experience. Meaning chat and teams/channels will show up under the "Chat" sidebar icon. No more dedicated Teams sidebar button. 🟣 Teams and Channels will have their own section in chat. 🟣 Group your chats and/or channels however best works for you with favourites and custom sections (up to 50 sections and 50 items per section) 🟣 “Unread,” “Chat,” “Channels,” “Meetings,” and “Muted” Filters 🟣 New message can initiate a new chat or new channel post 🟣 New Mention view gathers all your mentions into a single interactive list. 🟣 At launch, a self-service, guided onboarding will help users discover the new experience and configure it to their preferences (on or off) 🟣 Users who prefer to keep chat and channels separate can easily do so during the onboarding process or at any time later. So far, it looks like there are no IT/tenant-level override controls. This experience change is targeted at getting more users using teams/channels. Most Teams users live in "chats", not teams/channels. There will undoubtedly be some pushback from users who use teams/channels well and like having the mental separation of teams/channels vs chats. I've been fortunate to be using it for a while, and I'm personally a big fan; my use of the correct channels has gone way up, and now I can find them all in one place in the app, particularly on mobile. I'm now much more likely to see channel conversations I need to see. What do you think? #MicrosoftTeams #Microsoft365

A TRUST FUND FOR EVERYONE: How to create a Monetary Commons that socialises money and funds a basic dividend without new taxes or debt [At a time Donald Trump, Big Tech and Wall Street deploy stablecoins to privatise the dollar, usurping the decentralising power of blockchain to enrich themselves at everyone else’s expense, here is an alternative use of blockchain that harnesses its decentralising powers to benefit everyone equally – to pay everyone a substantial, non-inflationary, basic dividend – without the need to tax or borrow. Read on and/or watch the video] Here is an idea that can make a real, urgently needed, difference to our awfully divided, exploitative societies. Imagine a trust fund for everyone paying a personal dividend to each. Now imagine a common, a public digital platform, let’s call it a Monetary Commons, that harnesses our collective capacity to create the money needed to fund this personal dividend for all. The idea of a personal or basic income is not new, of course. People have sung its praises for decades. But they were stifled. The majority doesn’t want to pay higher taxes, or the higher interest rates more public debt would bring, to deliver a personal payment to others, including to the already stinking rich. But what if it is now possible to pay a decent personal dividend without new taxes or new public debt. How? Not by magic or hocus pocus economics but by reclaiming from private bankers our society’s power to create money. Today, we have the digital tools to take back the power to create money, use that power to create a common trust fund, and pay each a personal dividend. These tools are here already. And if we do not use them for benefitting everyone, the bankers and Big Tech will use them to print more money for themselves. So, let’s get cracking! Let’s build a new Monetary Commons to pay a personal dividend to each! How would it work? Technically, it is ever so simple. You download an app, let’s call it Monetary Commons Pay (or MCPay). MCPay is provided by your central bank (the Fed in the US, the ECB in Europe, the Bank of England in Britain etc.). Essentially, the central bank has opened a digital account for you which you can use to receive and pay money, the way you use your normal bank account app. How is this MCPay app helpful? In three fabulous ways, which I shall present in ascending order of importance. First, because with MCPay you can send and receive money for free, avoiding the terrible, inexcusable, fees charged by private banks – even the ‘fuel fees’ of crypto. The second, even greater, benefit is that the money you keep in your MCPay grows at the central bank interest rate – which is always higher than the measly rate private banks pay for your savings. Free transactions and higher interest on your savings would be good enough reasons to have the MCPay app. But, the truly mesmerising, hugely exciting benefit is the third one: The new app makes it possible for the Central Bank to pay you, and everyone else, a substantial personal dividend. Pay attention to see where this money will come from, why it is not inflationary, why it requires no new taxes, no new debt and no magic: You have heard of how private banks create loans from thin air, right? How they can turn, on average, $3 of new deposits into a new $100 loan? [Yes, lest we forget, only 3% of the money in our advanced economies come from the central bank – the rest is conjured up by private banks.] But this works in reverse as well! If bankers turn $3 into $100, were you to transfer $3 from your normal bank to your MCPay, to take advantage of free transactions and the higher interest rate, you will have annulled your banker’s opportunity to create $100. In other words, as you transfer $3 from your bank to your new MCPay account, the total quantity of money in the economy would fall by, $100 minus $3, $97. Would this not be bad for the economy? It sure would be if nothing was done about it. But wait. Suppose the central bank were to create $97 for every $3 transferred to someone’s MCPay and credit that extra $97, equally, to everyone’s MCPay account. Bingo! Do you see now how a personal dividend was made possible without new taxes, new debt or potentially inflationary increases in the quantity of money? Now, please do not think that this a theoretical discussion. Yes, our governments, in the pockets of financiers as they are, are not interested in giving you the option of an MCPay app. But, with Donald Trump at the helm and his GENIUS Act on the statutes, they are busily handing over this incredible power to create money not to society, not to a Monetary Commons, but to Big Tech and Wall Street. How? By shunning the MCPay app that would benefit you, everyone, equally, and pushing instead for so-called stablecoins issued by privateers, mainly Big Tech and Wall Street, for their benefit. But how much money could we expect to receive as a personal dividend if we were to create a monetary commons? The answer is: a lot! The US Treasury recently predicted that around worth $6.6 trillion of US bank deposits will be transferred to stablecoins - the private version of MCPay from which you will benefit not at all. Yes, $6.6 trillion, that is more than six thousand billion dollars. If such a sum were to be transferred to the monetary commons, to our MCPay accounts, keeping the quantity of money in the US constant would require that the Fed credits $213 trillion to everyone’s MCPay accounts. That’s considerably more than $600 thousand for each woman, man and child resident in the US! And similarly in Britain, Europe, Japan etc. A sizeable trust fund for everyone. This is a remarkable opportunity for making a difference to our awfully divided societies. We must seize it. For the benefit of the many, not the few. Of course, the few – beginning with the bankers – will scream blue murder. They will do their utmost to stop this from happening. They will fearmonger like crazy, eager as they are to usurp the lion’s share of the money that society generates collectively. They will try to terrorise you with tales of calamities that will befall you if this Monetary Commons were to be created. They will prognosticate cataclysmic inflation – even though the whole point of the personal dividend is to keep the money supply constant. They will terrorise you with the prospect of new taxation and new public debt – even though they understand that there is no need for new taxes or new public debt to pay you a substantial personal dividend. To appeal to your social conscience, they will tell you that a Monetary Commons is Elon Musk’s and the libertarians’ way to dismantle social security – even though there is no reason to cut social security in any way to fund everyone’s personal dividend. They will bombard you with the spectre of Big Brother, likening the Monetary Commons to a Chinese Communist Party ploy to have the central bank follow your every transaction – even though they know that MCPay can easily be built on distributed ledger technology that guarantees privacy to each while preventing the authorities from manipulating the money supply without the public noticing. As they scream and shout and terrorise you, you will know: Bankers just hate the idea of going back to the role of intermediaries, of borrowing from Jack to lend to Jill. They are only interested in maintaining their monopoly over the money system – and to extend it now that digital money enhances society’s capacity to create even more new money, a capacity that they want to privatise when we should want to share equally. So, let us ignore the shrieks of the moneymen and let us use new tech to share better the benefits from our collective capacity to create money. Let’s make building a Monetary Commons our common goal. It won’t cure all of our deeply exploitative society’s ills. But it will go a long way to cure many and, perhaps more importantly, it will give the many a sense of their power. FOR MORE ON THE MONETARY COMMONS, VISIT Raphael Arar Hirad Sab DiEM25

Today I'm excited to share Sigilum! This is Payman's solution for Auditable Identity for AI Agents. (think One Password-ish but for AI Agents) I recorded a quick walkthrough showing how it all works (video below). This answers three pains we've seen within Financial Services (Banking) AI Agents we've built and OpenClaw🦞 AI Agents we deploy. Security, Auditability, and Control. 1. Security Making sure keys are secure and not just freely given to an AI Agent is a big deal. When working with money, you can't just expose these or skip putting controls in place. Sigilum provides a local gateway that prevents access to keys by the AI Agent without explicit authorization from a person. We provide namespaces through the service so you always know who authorized what key, for what service, to which agent. 2. Auditability If I could hit on the importance of this 100 times I would. It comes up in every financial services conversation. Sigilum provides you with the answer to "Who authorized this AI Agent to act on my behalf?" Audit logs trace back to the person, the service, and the AI Agent. With more audit logs being built through our managed service, this will be the key source for determining how an AI Agent is behaving on your behalf. This is needed for agents from OpenClaw, and especially for banking/money movement. 3. Control Revoke keys, limit access, grant authorization. All seemingly simple things, but complex to implement and make elegant. These controls dictate what the AI Agent can or cannot do. Sigilum allows you to do all of this through the managed Dashboard. We've made Sigilum open source and encourage others to contribute and keep building on the gateway. It's been a source of a lot of visibility and productization of AI Agents for us. We'll keep contributing and adding to it. Link in comments. If you want to try it out, we do have a managed service that makes it easy to spin up. Go to to sign up. Note: even though we've been pushing 100+ commits a day to get this out to folks, there are still some noticeable areas for improvement we're working on, which should get resolved soon (by us or you!): - Deeper audit trails - More providers (currently supports all OpenClaw providers) - Deeper scanning of existing keys your agent is hiding from you (we'll find them) - OpenClaw gateway persistence - Auto-purging keys - And more... If you want to contribute or have feedback, please DM or go to the GH. Happy building!

//The Wire//2300Z July 25, 2025// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: "DATING" APP DATA BREACH HIGHLIGHTS NATIONAL SECURITY CONCERNS.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE----- -HomeFront- USA: This morning a major PII leak was exploited on the Tea app, the infamous app that has gained notoriety around the United States. This data leak was not a hack by any means; the selfie ID feature and driver's license images used to register users were stored unencrypted on the app's servers for anyone on the internet to see. Furthermore, the location data was not scrubbed from the images, so the exact GPS coordinate of each user was also leaked, with tens of thousands of users' private location data being leaked online. -----END TEARLINE----- Analyst Comments: This app gained infamy as it's entire purpose is to serve as a "Yelp" for women to rate men, and to allow women to secretly share personal information regarding prospective dates, all without men being allowed to either face their accusers or even know that they are being gossiped about (thus the name of the app being a slang term that serves as a synonym for "gossip"). Most importantly, the app uses facial recognition to prevent biological males from obtaining an account. Beyond the unfortunate origins of the app and the equally unfortunate data leak, examination of the data that was leaked is likely to cause exceptionally grave risks to national security. The "gossipy" nature of this story doesn't matter, a bunch of unflattering selfies doesn't matter either; what does matter is that this may have inadvertently revealed significant national security concerns. For instance, preliminary analysis of the datasets indicates that many users of the Tea app downloaded the app, took a selfie, and registered for an account while at work. In some cases, at government facilities or on military bases...such as the rather unfortunate individual who decided it was a good idea to register for this app while stationed at Marine Corps Base Quantico. Or the person who felt that they needed to use this app while on a gunnery range at the Aberdeen Proving Grounds. So far, other interesting sites located via personnel taking a selfie to register for this app at work include the following locations: - An ammunition storage bunker at Naval Weapons Station Earle in New Jersey. - The legislative offices at the Connecticut State Capitol building. - One of the headquarters buildings at Minot Air Force Base. - A maintenance site on the airfield at Eglin Air Force Base. - Alumni Hall at the US Naval Academy in Annapolis. - And the off-base housing complexes at nearly every single military base in the United States. Of course, these data points only encompass the GPS coordinates that were embedded in the metadata of the selfies taken when users created an account on the app, so the data that was leaked is merely a snapshot of wherever a person was when they registered an account. Most of the GPS points presented in this data were very precise, pinpointing users within a diameter of 36ft or so on average. GPS errors are also likely to throw off this dataset, so it's probable that quite a few data points are inaccurate. However, most of the data (as leaked) is good enough for nationstate-level malign actors to have a field day when it comes to espionage. A person who is unhappy with the person they are in a relationship with, who is also willing to submit their full legal name and street address (or GPS location) makes for a prime espionage target when this data is cross-referenced with other data. It takes exactly two clicks to import the leaked data to a map, and overlay that map with known sensitive military sites around the nation...perhaps in the process finding a few new locations as well. It is also easy to cross-reference this data with property ownership documents to find out how many people took a selfie at a different address than listed on their driver's license...or on their spouse's voter registration records. In short, what seems to be at face value a rather superfluous data breach on a gossip app, may end up having serious national security concerns now that malign actors know the exact GPS location of tens of thousands of potential blackmail targets. Regardless of how this scandal started, the intelligence agencies of dozens of nations are probably crawling through this data set right now, looking for potential vulnerabilities. Furthermore, certain areas within the dataset appear to have been geofenced...there is not a single reported user's data in the entire district of Washington D.C. or all of lower Manhattan. While this is completely speculative at this time, if this app was designed as a honeypot trap from the ground up (for espionage purposes), it's possible that certain areas of the US would be geofenced, to prevent certain powerful people (or politicians) from being caught up in the operation. Once again, this is purely speculative, but it is interesting that some of the most densely populated cities in the US had absolutely zero reported users register. In the world of espionage, one might think that politicians would be a primary target for situations like this, but this is unlikely in this case. Politicians are often compromised by men in dark suits, not normally a cheap app that allows one to gossip about other people. Their spouses however, are a different story. The prime target for these types of operations (if this is indeed more of an espionage attempt) are exactly the people who were targeted...low-to-mid level employees (and their spouses) who would be more easily blackmailed with the type of information that they submitted to the app. What will come of this is anyone's guess, but beyond the obvious embarrassment angle of this situation (and this affair highlighting actual affairs), the national security risks via blackmail are probably extremely high. What makes this risk unique is that for now, most people are focusing on the socially embarrassing side of this scandal, and not the security risks that are present. As such, when this story is dropped like a hot potato from the news cycle in a few days, that moment is precisely when national-level assets are likely to attempt to exploit the tens of thousands of targets that have now been exposed. Everyone will forget about this in a few weeks, but the espionage potential of this data leak persists well into the future. Analyst: S2A1 Research: //END REPORT//

WHAT IS AN AI "SOFTWARE FACTORY" AND IS IT HYPE (31 MINUTE BREAKDOWN) I think it's a silly name for a genuinely USEFUL idea! A software factory is 5-6 markdown files that sit next to your code and tell your agents how you like to work, so you can build high quality apps 24/7. It's going viral because AI coding has a trust problem. The model can build the feature, but with no structure around it you end up babysitting the agent, wondering what changed and hoping it didn't break something important. So you build with agents the same way a factory builds physical products! 1. Each feature gets its own station, which in software means its own branch, so multiple agents can work at the same time without stepping on each other. 2. The build station gives the agent rules for how to write the code, because "it works" is very different from "a developer could open this repo next month and understand what happened." 3. The proof station makes the agent show evidence. Screenshots, videos, speed numbers, before-and-after states. It has to prove the thing works instead of saying it works. 4. The review station runs the work through a code review agent, and if it doesn't clear the bar, it goes back through the line. 5. Then you show up at the end to merge. For a 100+ years people have run production this way, and it worked because the structure is good. The full episode on what’s a software factory is NOW live on The Startup Ideas Podcast (SIP) 🧃 with the wonderful Micky Watch: So is it hype?!? I don't think it is, because of what it does to your output! WITHOUT a factory, you build ONE feature at a time and you're the bottleneck at every step, prompting, checking the diff, testing it yourself, hoping nothing else broke (spoiler alert it often does). WITH a factory, EACH feature runs in its own isolated copy of the app, so you can have 10+ of them going at once, and each agent has to prove its own work and pass a code review before it ever reaches you. Instead of supervising the work, you're APPROVING finished work that already has evidence attached. REALLY interesting to see how work with agents is evolving to be….well, similar to working with people!

How Scammers are Exploiting Addicted Aviator Players with Fake Bot Schemes Over the past several days, a wave of distressing complaints has continued to emerge from across the country regarding an online betting game called "Aviator" that is hosted on various popular gambling platforms, with affected Kenyans now describing it not only as deceptive in its design but as the starting point of broader ruin in their personal lives. This crisis has deepened steadily, fed by persistent advertising on national television channels, local vernacular radio stations and sponsored content across social media platforms, all of which continue to present the game as harmless or even rewarding. What has now become evident through a series of testimonies is that many users, some of whom never imagined themselves vulnerable to gambling addiction, have found themselves trapped in what they describe as a never-ending cycle of loss and desperation. The game’s premise appears simple. A plane takes off and rises in multiplier value, and players are expected to cash out before the virtual plane crashes. But beneath this design is an unpredictable algorithm which, to many victims, has translated into financial devastation. We have received dozens (now running into hundreds) of messages from users who say they lost control over their gambling habits, with some placing bets multiple times a day and suffering escalating losses with each round. Among those who have reached out are Kenyans who were staking entire salaries, others who sold household items to keep playing and some who have even borrowed money under false pretences, driven by the hope of recovering previous losses. Affected users span all walks of life. Young professionals, unemployed youth, parents and even people with previous betting experience who now say that Aviator has pushed them beyond their limits. It is against this backdrop that a new layer of exploitation is beginning to take shape. After consistent posts about these grievances and after amplifying these testimonies of addiction, deceit, and financial ruin, we are now learning of another disturbing angle that has taken root within the Aviator space. Multiple users have begun reporting a pattern of targeted scams, where fraudsters embed themselves within the very chat interface of the game, promising to help people win by using so-called bots or systems that can predict flight crashes. These scammers appear to prey on players who have already suffered losses and are desperate for a recovery path. They present themselves as insiders or “helpers” with access to special tools or software capable of guaranteeing wins. According to reports, they then convince users to either surrender their betting account credentials or to send a payment, usually branded as a ‘bot subscription’ or ‘server fee’ with the promise that the scammer will then play on their behalf and multiply the user’s stake. In multiple cases, victims say that once the payment or account access has been granted, the scammer goes completely silent. Phone numbers are switched off, WhatsApp chats are deleted, contact blocked and the victim is left with even greater losses, both emotionally and financially. "Hi Nyakundi. There is also scammers on the Aviator who lure people telling them they can help them win using bots. So far have experience two scammers. They ask you for your account details and you give them with the stake of whichever ever amount you choose. Then they go offline and switch their phone never to hear from then. Some ask you to pay server bot fee of 3k or less to the number they give you. That number is then switched off. The scammers share their WhatsApp numbers on the chat section of the Aviator. Was just scammed yesterday: I have the chat conversation and payment to fake bot server to do the work. This is the audio msg to convince one to give the account then and they play for you or you pay subscription fee which you will never win anything."

Local AI 101: open models, Hugging Face, and businesses to build (38 min masterclass) I still think cloud AI is the default for most things, and honestly it should be, the frontier models are the strongest and easiest to use. But something shifted in the last 4-5 months. You can now run genuinely good open models directly on your own laptop, or even your phone. And once you actually try it, it changes how you think about what AI is even for. LOCAL AI, CLEARLY EXPLAINED: 1. The model is the brain doing the thinking. Gemma, Llama, Mistral, and Qwen are the main families, and each is better at different things, some at reasoning, some at coding, some small enough to run on a phone. 2. Hugging Face is the warehouse where you find them. You go there to see what each model is good at, check the license, and grab the compressed versions that run on a normal computer. 3. The software is what runs the model on your machine. Start with LM Studio if you're not technical, it feels like a normal app where you search, download, and start chatting. Ollama is the one you reach for when you want to plug a model into your own apps. 4. The workflow is the actual product you build on top of it all. That's what I'm ideating around for some businesses to create. I think local AI just made a specific kind of business way easier to start. Find an industry that: 1. Sits on sensitive data they'd never paste into ChatGPT 2. Does the same review over and over 3. Runs on software from 2003 Then build a local AI tool that does that review on their own machine, so the data never leaves the building! Take home health agencies. Nurses write visit notes all day, and if a note is missing a detail, the billing gets denied or the audit flags it. Here's how I'd start: 1. Find 5 small agencies. Offer to review a batch of their notes for them. 2. Run the notes through Gemma locally (free, private, no cloud). Read every output yourself. 3. Write down the 20 issues that keep showing up: missing vitals, vague med changes, notes that don't support the billed level. 4. That list of 20 is your checklist. The checklist is the product. 5. Turn it into a local desktop app that flags those 20 things before a note gets submitted. You just went from a service anyone could offer to a product nobody else has, and you learned exactly what to build by doing the work by hand first. Same recipe works for restoration contractors (draft the damage report on-site before the tech leaves) and wealth advisors (catch the compliance landmine in a client email before it sends). Basically the framework is sensitive data, repeated review, ancient software. I think there are tons of businesses like this! Almost none of it clicked for me until I actually started using local AI. So if you take one thing from this, go run a model on your own machine once. Also a fun thing to try with your friends. Feel free to send this to a friend. The episode is live for free on The Startup Ideas Podcast (SIP) 🧃 (thanks to Google for sponsoring today's episode and supporting local AI) I feel like local AI one of those things you need to try for it to really click. Run one model on your own machine and you'll see what I mean! I go way deeper in the full 38 minute masterclass, the models, the setup, and the businesses to build. Link below.

DON'T LET YOUR BITCOIN DIE WITH YOU 💀 ⚰️ Yea look, nobody likes to admit it but we all have to die one day. As I've been talking to people about their self custody lately - both Casa members and not - I hear the same thing over and over. "What happens if I die?" Many people feel pretty good about their bitcoin security for themselves. But their family members often have no idea how to use this stuff. Hardware wallet? Seed phrase stamped on metal? Shamir's secret sharing backups using SD cards, a passphrase, and a treasure hunt through the backyard with a shovel? 😵 We're solving that problem for all Casa members, starting today with Casa Inheritance. A key design principle we kept while building this was to make it as simple as possible for Recipients (your family members that will receive your bitcoin if you pass), while maintaining Casa-level security. An estate transfer is already a stressful time for family, and it can become even more stressful if you add in a crazy treasure hunt to access a fortune in bitcoin. For our basic 3 key vaults, we wanted it to be as easy as using the app. No metal plates, no need to use a hardware wallet, no magic passwords you have to keep track of or else risk messing up the asset transfer. Simplicity is security. So how does it work, in detail? A Vault Owner (Casa member) designates a Recipient (their family or friend) in the Casa app. The Recipient receives an invite to create a free Casa account. The Recipient scans a QR code provided by the Vault Owner, which contains an encrypted version of the owner's mobile key. This encrypted key is only able to be imported by the Recipient's Casa account, and the Recipient can't initially use it or see the vault balance. If the Vault Owner passes away, the Recipient can request access to the vault in their Casa app. This starts a 6 month timer, and sends a ton of notifications every month to the owner. If the owner is still alive, they can reject the request in app. If they are not, the timer will run out. When it does, the Recipient will be able to use the shared mobile key and the request a signature from the Casa Recovery Key for the shared vault. This gives them 2 out of 3 signatures, enough to access the assets. For 5 key vault users, one hardware key is shared with the Recipient. This small increase in friction for Recipients is often worth it for the increased security and resilience of a 5 key vault for larger holdings. To summarize now that you have the details: 1. Share keys and vault access during setup 2. 6 month timelock to ensure no malicious theft 3. Use shared keys and Casa key to access assets Full setup takes less than 5 minutes. Inheritance is one of the biggest problems in self custody today. If you've hodled through years of painful bear markets, you owe it to yourself and your family to not let the reward for that patience go to zero because you didn't have a plan - and we're here to make that easy. Check out the video to see how easy it really is. Like I said earlier this week - Casa is going after major problems in self-custody this year. Check this one off the list ✅. Next one coming sooner than you think 🔥.
