LEE KRAMER'S ROOM: With Views

Russia, Russia, Russia. Exactly right, we are definitely at war with Putin and his republican party that through trump, has taken over. We've been at war but the last few months have been extremely heavy on the cyber front. It's getting so heavy, they can't hide it very well anymore. All over the financial news today the hacking going on.

Both my wife and I work from home, have computer systems hooked up to one of the largest institutions, and can attest personally that we are in a major battle and constant work and time going into our defense with projections to be a lot worse as the election year progresses. Republicans doing about anything they can to support Russia and Putin. I would say that we are in the most dangerous time in history, and I don't say that lightly.

It's still ongoing and unprecedented.

China is no friend either.

🚔 Google engineer steals AI secrets
The Rundown: Federal prosecutors just charged an ex-Google engineer with stealing over 500 confidential files related to AI infrastructure while secretly working for two Chinese AI startups.
The details:
• Linwei Ding worked on Google’s AI supercomputing systems and reportedly uploaded 2-years worth of data to his personal Google Cloud account.
• He was secretly hired as CTO of a Beijing AI startup and founded his own Shanghai-based AI firm, hiding it all from Google.
• Ding had a Google colleague scan his badge at Google’s U.S. office to make it look like he was there when he was actually in China.
• Google grew suspicious and alerted the FBI, with Ding now facing up to 10 years in prison.
Why it matters: An insider heist of Google’s sensitive AI assets is an alarming wake-up call about China’s relentless campaign to chase down the U.S. AI tech advantage. This case is also, unfortunately, just a preview of the high-stakes espionage ahead in the battle for AI supremacy.
