The Antichrist is back in American political discourse. After President Donald Trump posted an AI photo of himself depicted as Jesus on Truth Social, many of his Christian followers were up in arms. Trump later claimed that he was supposed to be a doctor in the photo, but the damage was already done. Prominent far-right advocates like Marjorie Taylor Greene, Tucker Carlson, and Nick Fuentes began wondering if Trump was the Antichrist.This is not the first time the Antichrist has popped up in American politics. Armageddon and the Second Coming have affected US political thought since at least the 1880s.…
When Amazon Web Services Inc. held its New York Summit last week, Vice President of Agentic AI Swami Sivasubramanian as usual was the headline act, delivering the opening keynote. Sivasubramanian made the case to enterprise leaders that the artificial intelligence conversation has moved beyond pilots and productivity hacks into a world where the real advantage lies in compounding momentum across work, security, software delivery and data. For IT pros, that means your architectural decisions over the next 12 to 18 months will determine whether AI agents become a force multiplier or a new source of chaos. Here are five big ideas from Sivasubramanian’s…
This won’t make the already-controversial AI training endeavor any more popular. PJ McDonnell/Shutterstock Meta has paused use of an AI training program that tracks its own employees’ keystrokes and mouse movements. The company has suspended the Model Capability Initiative, not because of workers’ understandable displeasure around being (almost) perpetually monitored or for potentially breaking privacy laws, but because it caused an internal data leak. Business Insider reported that sensitive data collected through MCI, including employees’ private conversations, performance data and transcriptions, was made inadvertently available to the entire Meta staff. “We have carefully designed this program…
A single intent signal can tell you if someone is in-market. Intent-layering tells you whether you’re even relevant to the journey. That’s an entirely different game. Key Takeaways A single intent signal identifies movement- it doesn’t explain motive, stage, or relevance, and acting on it alone is why most intent-driven outreach underperforms Third-party intent is now commodity data; the competitive advantage lives in the interpretation layer built by combining it with first-party, firmographic, and technographic signals. Firmographic and technographic context transform an intent signal from interesting to actionable- same signal, completely different meaning depending on company stage, existing tech stack,…

Swati KhandelwalJun 22, 2026Vulnerability / Server Security A heap over-read in the Squid web proxy can leak another user’s cleartext HTTP request, including any credentials or session tokens it carries, to anyone already allowed to send traffic through the same proxy. The bug traces to a 1997 FTP-parsing change and is still live in Squid’s default configuration. Researchers at Calif.io disclosed it in June and named it Squidbleed (CVE-2026-47729), after Heartbleed, which leaked memory the same way. Squid describes this as an attack by a trusted client: someone already permitted to use the proxy, not any random host on the internet. That matches…
Disclaimer: Unless otherwise stated, any opinions expressed below belong solely to the author. The headlines will tell you that Singapore’s property market is finally cooling down. In early 2026, the HDB resale price index dipped by 0.1%, signalling a long-awaited breather for exhausted homebuyers. But don’t pop the champagne just yet. HDB prices are showing signs of flatlining. At the exact same time, million-dollar public housing transactions surged by over 17% quarter-on-quarter. In prime, mature estates, seven-figure price tags are no longer surprising—they are becoming the norm. But it isn’t inflation, and it isn’t a failure of the public housing…
The Svarva lamp can be twisted into different shapes. Courtesy of Johan EjdemoPS Svarva Floor Lamp“Some stuff I did myself, like this one. The Svarva lamp we made with the design group Front for the PS 2009 collection. They were quite newly established and so we did an armchair and this lamp. The desire was to do a wooden turned lamp, but you should also be able to twist it, articulate it.”“I felt that that would be very difficult to do. Along with a colleague in lighting at the time, I went to Hungary to this factory that was producing…
