Fox News reports that ChatGPT continues to cause controversy in the tech world, as a user claims to have created powerful data-mining malware.
.
A security researcher for Forcepoint,
Aaron Mulgrew, shared how OpenAI's
generative chatbot is able to create malware.
The researcher used a loophole to bypass
ChatGPT's protections that are meant to prevent
people from using the AI to create malware codes.
According to Mulgrew, after creating the code with separate lines, he was able to compile the functions into
an undetectable data-stealing executable.
.
Fox News reports that the creation of this sophisticated
malware was accomplished without a team of hackers, and
Mulgrew himself didn't have to write a single line of code.
Mulgrew's private test,
which was not publicly released,
highlights the dangers of ChatGPT.
.
Fox News reports that Mulgrew, who claims to not have
any advanced coding experience, was able to bypass
ChatGPT's security measures with a simple test.
.
The malware that Mulgrew created
scrubs files for any data that could
be stolen from an infected device.
The program then breaks the data down,
hides it within other images and
uploads it to a Google Drive folder.
Fox News reports that by using simple prompts,
Mulgrew was able to use ChatGPT to strengthen
and refine the code to conceal it from detection.

However, the bill also includes
immigration provisions and leaves out
aid for Ukraine or other disasters.
Because of this, it's not expected to pass the Senate if it is approved by the House, CNBC reports. .
Rep. Rosa DeLauro called the bill "extreme." .
Rather than "working on bipartisan solution[s]
that could be enacted,".
DeLauro accused House Republicans of attempting to
"cut funding to the National Institutes of Health including funding for cancer research, defund the police, and decrease resources to important allies like Ukraine and Israel.".
Speaker Kevin McCarthy
stands behind the bill.
A shutdown would only give strength to the Democrats. It would give the power to Biden.
It wouldn’t pay our troops. It wouldn’t pay our border agents. More people would be coming across. I actually want to achieve something, Kevin McCarthy, Speaker of the House, via interview on Fox News

is striking over is pay.

over 40% "for rank-and-file members
over four years," Fox News reports. .

a raise in pension benefits for those who are currently
retired and reinstated pensions for new hires.
Fain referred to the demands as the
"most audacious and ambitious list of proposals they've seen in decades." .

Even a short strike would impact economies throughout Michigan and across the nation, Patrick Anderson, CEO of the Anderson Economic Group, via Fox News

Federal Report Criticizes , EPA's Response to Lead in , Michigan City's Water Supply.
According to a new report, high levels of lead in drinking water in an impoverished Michigan city were not quickly reported to U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) leadership. .
Fox News reports that the EPA said that staff monitoring the state's response failed to "elevate"
the issue of health risks to the city's residents. .
In October of 2018, the Benton Harbor water system
was notified by the state that water samples
tested for lead had exceeded 15 parts per billion.
Fox News reports that those numbers remained high
through 2021, when the issue gained national attention.
At the time, residents were told to switch to
bottled water for basic needs while state officials
worked to quickly remove the city's lead pipes.
In 2016, the EPA passed its Policy on Elevation of
Critical Public Health Issues following a similar
lead-contaminated water crisis in Flint, Michigan.
In February of 2022, federal auditors announced
a probe into the government's response to
lead contamination in Benton Harbor. .
Because the elevation policy was not
used, the Office of the Administrator’s
senior-level team did not have an
opportunity to assess and recommend
steps for resolving elevated lead levels
in the Benton Harbor water system, Federal auditors' report on EPA response, via Fox News.
According to Cyndi Roper, the Natural Resources Defense Council's senior policy advocate, the Benton Harbor response was , "another abject failure of the EPA.".
The EPA must do better to end the
public health disaster linked to lead-
contaminated drinking water, starting
with issuing and enforcing a new federal
lead and copper rule that will finally tackle
the lead crisis, so no other community
is poisoned by leaded tap water, Federal auditors' report on EPA response, via Fox News

US Agrees to Send Controversial , Uranium Tank Rounds to Ukraine.
Fox News reports that the United States
has agreed to send depleted uranium
anti-tank rounds to support Ukraine. .
The news coms after the United Kingdom agreed
to send the controversial munitions to aid Kyiv's
counteroffensive against occupying Russian forces.
Fox News reports that the 120 mm rounds are
munitions for the 31 MIAI Abrams tanks the
U.S. has pledged to deliver to Ukraine this fall. .
The armor-piercing rounds were
first developed by the U.S. amid the
Cold War to counter Soviet tanks.
The depleted uranium used in the rounds
is a byproduct of the uranium enrichment
process necessary for creating nuclear weapons. .
According to RAND nuclear expert and policy researcher
Edward Geist, while the rounds retain some radioactive
properties, they cannot generate a nuclear reaction.
Depleted uranium is extremely dense,
which adds to its potency as a projectile. .
It’s so dense and it’s got so much
momentum that it just keeps going
through the armor — and it heats it
up so much that it catches on fire, Edward Geist, RAND nuclear expert and policy researcher, via Fox News .
In March, the U.K.'s announcement
that it would send depleted uranium rounds
was met with a Russian warning that doing so
would open the door to further escalation.
Fox News reports that Russian President
Vladimir Putin has already suggested that the war could
be escalated to the deployment of nuclear weapons.
