ICYMI I’m hosting a Reddit AMA with @nprofile1q... on Wednesday to answer questions about US border searches, device security, and protecting your digital data. I'll be posting as runasand_. https://www.runasandvik.com/p/waypoints-about-reddit-ama-chinas

Spoke to @nprofile1q... about the case of U.S. federal prosecutors going after an American for allegedly wiping his phone with a duress password during a border search. First case I've seen, though I've discussed the potential scenario with at-risk folks. https://techcrunch.com/2026/07/24/us-accuses-american-of-allegedly-wiping-his-phone-using-a-duress-password-during-border-search/

Great writeup from @nprofile1q... on the recent OpenAI vs. Hugging Face incident. Turns out it started with a human mistake at OpenAI: someone forgot to set up an isolated environment prior to testing a model; the model went rogue; and attacked Hugging Face. https://techcrunch.com/2026/07/22/how-an-openais-human-mistake-led-to-the-ai-powered-hack-on-hugging-face/
