A 16-year-old from East London, accused of raising crypto and offering cyber expertise to Al Qaeda, has been granted bail with restricted digital access, allowing him to use his PlayStation offline only.
Prosecutors allege the teen, who cannot be named for legal reasons, attempted to raise approximately $1,300 in crypto for extremist groups, including Al Qaeda and the Pakistani Taliban, according to a Wednesday report by The Standard.
Appearing at Westminster Magistrates’ Court, the teenager pleaded not guilty to five charges, including fundraising for terrorism, providing training, and possessing documents of a nature useful for terror-related purposes. 0 reply

Déjà vu for the price of Bitcoin? BTC climbed back above $69,000 during European trading hours, after last setting this recent high-water mark just last week.
Bitcoin bounced above the $69,000 mark early Monday, though has cooled slightly since, dipping to a current price of $68,925 as of this writing. It's up 2% on the day, per data from CoinGecko.
Looking ahead, traders are entering an extremely busy period for macroeconomic factors. This week alone will include a new gross domestic product report for Q3, personal consumption data (which is used to track inflation), and a new jobs report on Friday. 0 reply

How I Tricked Meta's AI Into Showing Me Nudes, Cocaine Recipes and Other Supposedly Censored Stuff
Despite safety claims, WhatsApp's new AI assistant powered by Llama 3.2 is easily fooled, revealing a lot of things it probably shouldn’t.

In case my wife sees this, I don’t really want to be a drug dealer or pornographer. But I was curious how security-conscious Meta’s new AI product lineup was, so I decided to see how far I could go. For educational purposes only, of course.
Meta recently launched its Meta AI product line, powered by Llama 3.2, offering text, code, and image generation. Llama models are extremely popular and among the most fine-tuned in the open-source AI space.
The AI rolled out gradually and only recently was made available to WhatsApp users like me in Brazil, giving mil… 0 reply

Bitcoin’s price has rebounded from a ten-day low as traders attempt to gauge a short-term direction amid a “liquidity hunt” following last week’s surge to its near-all-time high.
The asset is trading relatively flat on the day to around $67,500 after dropping to as little as $65,160 on Thursday, CoinGecko data shows.
It comes as Bitcoin’s price breached $69,000 on Sunday—the asset’s all-time high, set on March 14, stands at just above $73,700.
That has some experts postulating the asset’s move lower this week may have been short-lived. 0 reply

Stability AI may be starting its very own redemption arc. After the disappointment that was SD3 Medium, they’ve come back swinging with the release of two new models that had been promised back in July: Stable Diffusion 3.5 Large and Stable Diffusion 3.5 Large Turbo.
“In June, we released Stable Diffusion 3 Medium, the first open release from the Stable Diffusion 3 series. This release didn't fully meet our standards or our communities’ expectations,” Stability said in an official blog post. “After listening to the valuable community feedback, instead of a quick fix, we took the time to furt… 0 reply
