Tomas Kapler wrote that the company Apate has built a fleet of approximately 350,000 AI agents who impersonate trusting individuals and communicate with scammers for as long as possible. According to him, they gather information such as bank account numbers, cryptocurrency wallet addresses, phone numbers, and details about fraudulent websites and scenarios used. The company passes this data on to banks, telecommunications operators, and other institutions. Kapler reported that Apate has recorded over 2.5 million conversations with scammers, which together took about 17 years, and obtained more than 250,000 intelligence data points. He mentioned examples such as the Commonwealth Bank of Australia, which, according to him, saw publicly reported fraud losses drop by 76% after implementing the system, and TPG Telecom, which redirected nearly 590,000 suspicious calls to Apate's agents. One other Australian bank, according to his post, broke up 22 fraudulent campaigns based on the information obtained. He added that the company secured $8.15 million in a seed round in August 2026, just shy of $10 million in total, and planned to expand into London and the United States. Kapler also wrote that Apate expected the proliferation of AI among scammers would lead them to spend more time communicating with its agents instead of potential victims. Finally, Kapler asked whether a similar system would work in Czech. He noted that Czech models may not be as advanced, but older individuals might not regard any mishearing or misunderstanding as a sign of artificial intelligence. He also mentioned that fraudulent AI farms from India, China, Russia, and Ukraine might not recognize such a deception. #AI #podvodníci #technologie (translated)

Magda wrote that sending Prof. Dr. Hab. Wojciech Sadurski, a professor of legal sciences and a constitutional lawyer from the University of Sydney and the University of Warsaw, to the Venice Commission was a mistake. She sarcastically stated that Nawrocki would agree if instead, a boxer or Bąkiewicz had been sent and they had been politely asked. #komentarz #polityka #nauka (translated)

Jotam Confino wrote that the other day he had photographed a father and daughter in Tel Aviv, as they looked at pictures of the victims of the massacre on October 7 and fallen soldiers. The image made him think about how difficult it must be for a parent to explain to their daughter what had happened that day, and what he described as the subsequent wave of antisemitism. Confino wrote that the massacre had been celebrated by millions around the world, including in Denmark, and that civilians had been executed, kidnapped, tortured, raped, burned, and beheaded. He claimed that the event had triggered the largest wave of hatred against Jews since World War II, and that Hamas was planning attacks against Jews in Europe, while Islamists and the extreme left demonstrated with Hamas flags, including in Copenhagen. He further wrote that Western professors praised the massacre, and that educators at Copenhagen University wished for the destruction of Israel's military. He described Israel as the safest place for a girl of Jewish background to grow up, despite wars and terrorist attacks, and wrote that one day she would have to serve mandatory military service. He also mentioned that Jews were being killed in Sydney, that synagogues were attacked and subjected to demonstrations, and that it had become common to declare oneself anti-Zionist. According to Confino, memorial services for the victims required extensive police protection due to demonstrators. In conclusion, he wrote that he had great respect for parents who could explain to children how cruel the world could be without taking away their hope. He was not sure that he himself would be able to handle that task. #Israel #Antisemitisme #Fremtid (translated)
