Former President Donald Trump shot back at Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) on Thursday by pointing to polling numbers after the governor recently criticized him. “Ron DeSanctimonious is running—without running! … But he should take a look at his Polls, which are crashing like few people have seen before,” Trump said. “That’s because he’s merely an average REPUBLICAN Governor who has great Public Relations, far better than deserved.” A Monmouth University poll released Tuesday revealed that 41 percent of GOP voters want Trump to win the GOP nomination, putting him 14 points above DeSantis’s 27 percent. Additional recent polling has also shown Trump trouncing DeSantis in a hypothetical matchup. Trump continued to attack “DeSanctimonious” in a second Truth Social post. Referencing DeSantis’s interview with Piers Morgan in which he decided to engage with the former president, Trump said the interview was a desperate attempt to “rescue his failing Campaign.” DeSantis has not yet announced … [Read more...] about Donald Trump Hits Back at Ron DeSantis: ‘Take a Look at His Polls’

BreachForums says it will shut down following owner’s arrest
It seems as if Breach Forums is going down with its captain, after all. The administrator that succeeded their now-arrested predecessor confirmed that they would be shutting the site down and starting from scratch. The decision was made after they suspected law enforcement accessed the founder’s device, practically compromising the entire operation. Last week, the FBI arrested a person suspected to be “Pompompurin”, the founder and super-admin of Breached Forums, an underground forum where hackers and cybercriminals shared intelligence, malware (opens in new tab) , and spoils of their craft. The person, legal name Conor Brian Fitzpatrick, is currently out on bail, pending trial. He has been accused of conspiracy to commit access device fraud. In the meantime, a person with the alias “Baphomet” took over the forums. The initial idea was to keep the site operational.

Google’s ChatGPT rival ‘Bard’ is now in early access
The big picture: AI has been a topic of interest within the tech industry for several years, but the general population didn't get its first real taste of the technology until deep learning models like DALL-E, Stable Diffusion and Midjourney launched with the ability to generate strikingly lifelike images from text inputs. However, people truly grasped the power of AI last November when OpenAI launched ChatGPT to the public. While Google has been late to the AI game, many believe that Bard could be the only real competitor to ChatGPT in the near future. Google has opened public access to its conversational AI chatbot, Bard . The move comes a month and a half after the company unveiled the service and rolled it out to a handful of beta testers. With this week's wider rollout, users in the US and the UK will now be able to join a waitlist to check out its features and assess its abilities. Google said Bard can not only be used to boost productivity, but should also help users … [Read more...] about Google’s ChatGPT rival ‘Bard’ is now in early access

French Activists File Criminal Complaint Against ‘Transphobic’ Feminists
Three French LGBT activist groups have filed a criminal complaint against feminists Dora Moutot and Marguerite Stern [pictured, above] over comments on allowing transgenders into women’s-only spaces, such as bathrooms. The complaint revolves around a manifesto co-authored by Moutot and Stern, who are both well-known feminists critical of the transgender movement in France and make their views known on their own blogs. The associations STOP homophobia, Mousse and Famille LGBT+ released a statement Tuesday indicating that they had filed a criminal complaint against the pair for “insults and public provocations to hatred or violence” against transgender people. The groups listed several passages from the manifesto including one which states, “Why should trans women’s fear of being mocked in men’s bathrooms take precedence over women’s fear of being raped? … Of course, not all trans people are predators, but we are forced to be wary because transgenderism can be instrumentalized … [Read more...] about French Activists File Criminal Complaint Against ‘Transphobic’ Feminists

There is no Banking Crisis in Europe, French Finance Boss Insists
Europe’s banking sector is not in crisis despite the collapse of two major players on the continent, a sector official in France has said. Despite claims to the contrary, Philippe Brassac, the head of the French Banking Federation (FBF), has insisted that there is no banking crisis currently plaguing Europe. The statement comes amid floundering investor confidence in European banking, with the collapse of major player Credit Suisse as well as the UK branch of the Silicon Valley Bank prompting concerns that the whole sector could be facing contagion. According to a report by Le Figaro , Brassac has rejected such a pessimistic outlook, insisting that problems with the current banking system are limited to the United States, and the European businesses in the sector will remain isolated from any issues. “There is no banking crisis,” the senior banker insisted regarding Europe, insisting that while “there are banks which are in difficulty”, these businesses are ultimately … [Read more...] about There is no Banking Crisis in Europe, French Finance Boss Insists
