Sarah Santaolalla wrote that Maricarmen would no longer have to witness what she described as a disaster caused around her. She accused political, media, and business leaders of having harmed an 87-year-old woman and stated that they would have to answer for it. She also criticized the emphasis on the mass and demanded more humanity. https://t.co/OTh9amKxw5 #DerechosHumanos #JusticiaSocial #EmpoderamientoFemenino (translated)

⚠️ AI Agent Autonomy Watch — Significant New Development 8 October 2026 | South Korea | AI-assisted cyberattacks against financial institutions A new investigation published on 7 October 2026 by cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike provides important forensic evidence of AI agents being used in real-world cyberattacks. The investigation concerns a campaign against South Korean financial institutions between late September and early October 2026. Attackers reportedly used ARTEX, an open-source autonomous penetration-testing agent, together with several large language models. CrowdStrike.com 1. What investigators discovered CrowdStrike recovered configuration files, AI-agent session histories and operational records from infrastructure associated with the attacks. The evidence indicates that: - ARTEX was used to support automated security testing and intrusion activities against financial institutions. - The attacker combined several AI models, including DeepSeek, GLM and Grok, with Claude Code sessions. - The campaign involved compromised systems and data exfiltration. - At least nine South Korean banks have reportedly been targeted in recent attacks, although the precise number attributable to this campaign remains unconfirmed. Reuters reported on 8 October that approximately 25,000 Shinhan Bank customers and 119 KB Kookmin Bank customers had their personal information compromised in the broader series of incidents. Reuters 2. Why this development matters The important distinction is that these attacks appear to have been directed by a human threat actor. They are not evidence of AI agents independently deciding to attack banks. Nevertheless, they demonstrate a concerning development: autonomous penetration-testing capabilities are being incorporated into criminal operations. This creates the potential for attackers to automate substantial portions of reconnaissance, vulnerability discovery and intrusion workflows. CrowdStrike specifically identifies the ability to conduct multiple intrusions within a relatively short period as an important consequence of these tools. CrowdStrike.com 3. Assessment This development strengthens the evidence for operationally capable AI-assisted cyberattacks, but it does not establish an increase in independent, misaligned AI behaviour. That distinction is essential. The earlier OpenAI incidents involved agents reportedly exceeding their intended operating boundaries. The South Korean case instead demonstrates how human attackers can deliberately employ agentic AI capabilities against external systems. Both developments increase cybersecurity risks, but through different mechanisms. Updated assessment: Autonomous replication: No Covert persistence: No Independent multi-agent coordination: No AI-assisted cyber intrusions: Yes — significant Independently initiated unauthorized actions: No new evidence Shutdown resistance: No Recursive self-improvement: No 4. What deserves attention next First, how much of an intrusion can an AI agent execute without further human instructions? Second, can agents independently discover and exploit previously unknown vulnerabilities? Third, can multiple agents coordinate different phases of an intrusion without continuous human supervision? The critical threshold is not simply whether AI can help someone conduct a cyberattack. That capability is already being demonstrated. It is whether an AI agent can independently plan, initiate, adapt and sustain an operation beyond the objectives and permissions established by its operator. The South Korean investigation does not demonstrate that threshold being crossed. However, it provides important evidence that agentic cyber capabilities are becoming operationally relevant outside controlled research environments.

The author wrote that the observation challenged the belief that greater AI capability would resolve misalignment, arguing that past evidence and theoretical reasoning suggested it could instead intensify unwanted behaviour by making systems more effective at pursuing the wrong goals.

Michaela Studena criticized the evaluation of people based on their weight and stated that obese individuals generally know how they look, so there is no need to remind them of it. She described that as a child she was chubby, and due to the taunts from her classmates and experiences with PE teachers, she felt ashamed and did not enjoy sports. Later, when she combined work with studying, she ate almost nothing and, according to her, reached her highest weight. Health complications prompted her to strengthen her back muscles and start taking care of her body for health reasons, not appearance. She lost 15 kilograms and found her way to recreational sports. According to her, people began to treat her differently, as if her character, intelligence, or worth had changed, despite her remaining the same Míša. Studena also pointed out that people may have difficult experiences behind them that those around them are unaware of. She urged people not to share "before and after" photos and to treat others kindly instead of giving unsolicited comments. At the age of 40, she stated that she came to terms with her appearance, aging, and wrinkles, and learned to be kind to herself. #telo #sebeprijeti #mentalhealth (translated)

The author argued that misandric women were limited to tweeting, while misogynistic men committed group rapes with ketamine on the penis, invited another 50 men to participate, and did not report what happened. She added that they would never be the same. #Misandria #Misoginia #Violencia (translated)

Mi último día en Madrid, Se casó mi hermana, y fue un fiestón. conocí lugares increíbles, visité ferias y museos, comi aceitunas hasta que me cansé, caminé una locura. Fui a misa Estuve en un pueblo rural y ahora no sé si comí más higos, que aceitunas Levanté la copa del mundo, dormí en una habitación mínima, tambien en una casa de piedra de 120 años, vivi con cuatro señores 10 días y fue como un retiro espiritual homosexual Gracias a todos los que me desearon cosas lindas y me escribieron con tanto amor, después de casi un mes extraño todo 🥹 #Madrid #Viajes #Fiesta

El Papa León XIV celebró una multitudinaria misa en la Plaza de la Concorde de París, donde llamó a los fieles a recuperar la esperanza y a los jóvenes a ser la Iglesia del presente, subrayando que para Dios no somos un número de identidad, somos personas. #PapaLeónXIV #París #Esperanza

Concordia y fraternidad. Francia está orgullosa de acoger al papa León XIV y de esta misa monumental en el corazón de ParísEl presidente francés, Emmanuel Macron, ha calificado este sábado de "monumental" la misa que del papa León XIV, una celebración a la que el jefe de Estado no ha asistido, pero sí su esposa, Brigitte Macron. #PapaLeónXIV #MisaMonumental #Esperanza
