CPU Utilization Not as Easy as It Sounds
If you ever develop an embedded system in a corporate environment, someone will probably tell you that you can only use 80% of the CPU or some other made-up number. The theory is that you will need some overhead for expansion. While that might have been a reasonable thing to do when CPUs and operating systems were very simple, those days are long gone. [Brendan Long] explains at least one problem with the idea in some recent tests he did related to server utilization.
[Brendan] recognizes that a modern CPU doesn’t actually scale like you would think. When lightly loaded, a modern CPU might run faster because it can keep other CPUs in the package slower and cooler. Increase the load, and more CPUs may get involved, but they will probably run slower. Beyond that, a newfangled processor often has fewer full CPUs than you expect. The test machine was a 24-core AMD processor. However, there are really 12 complete CPUs that can fast switch between two contexts. You have 24 threads that you can use, but only 12 at a time. So that skews the results, too.
Of course, our favorite problem is even more subtle. A modern OS will use whatever resources would otherwise go to waste. Even at 100% load, your program may work, but very slowly. So assume the boss wants you to do something every five seconds. You run the program. Suppose it is using 80% of the CPU and 90% of the memory. The program can execute its task every 4.6 seconds. So what? It may be that the OS is giving you that much because it would otherwise be idle. If you had 50% of the CPU and 70% of the memory, you might still be able to work in 4.7 seconds.
A better method is to have a low-priority task consume the resources you are not allowed to use, run the program, and verify that it still meets the required time. That solves a lot of [Brendan’s] observations, too. What you can’t do is scale the measurement linearly for all these reasons and probably others.
Not every project needs to worry about performance. But if you do, measuring and predicting it isn’t as straightforward as you might think. If you are interested in displaying your current stats, may we suggest analog? You have choices.
Netshacker: Retrogaming e Hacking Reale su Commodore 64
Nel panorama dei giochi per Commodore 64, Netshacker emerge come un progetto che sfida le convenzioni del gaming moderno, riportando i giocatori alle radici dell’informatica domestica degli anni ’80. Non si tratta di un semplice omaggio nostalgico, ma di una piccola grande esperienza di hacking autentica e credibile, sviluppata con la precisione tecnica di un ingegnere e al contempo la passione di un retro gamer.
Un concetto rivoluzionario per il C64 Netshacker non è un gioco che “finge” di essere retrò: è un prodotto nato dalla mentalità old-school, ma costruito con la cura e la precisione di un progetto moderno.
L’obiettivo è chiaro: ricreare l’esperienza autentica di un hacker degli anni ’90, quando le reti erano ancora un territorio inesplorato e ogni comando poteva rivelare nuovi orizzonti digitali.
Il gioco si presenta come un sistema operativo completo per C64, con due ambienti distinti: uno in stile Linux e uno in stile DOS, ognuno con le proprie peculiarità e comandi specifici.
La Shell che respira
Il cuore di Netshacker è la sua shell interattiva, un’interfaccia a riga di comando che non si limita a simulare i comandi, ma li implementa realmente: ogni input dell’utente ha conseguenze logiche e coerenti: i file esistono fisicamente nella memoria del C64, i permessi sono gestiti secondo regole realistiche, e gli errori forniscono dei feedback sensati che guidano il giocatore verso la soluzione. Non ci sono scorciatoie o bug da sfruttare: la progressione si basa esclusivamente sull’ingegno e sulla comprensione dei sistemi.
Missioni che premiano la creatività
Il sistema di missioni di Netshacker è progettato per premiare la creatività e la deduzione logica. Ogni obiettivo richiede una comprensione profonda degli strumenti disponibili e della logica sottostante. Le missioni spaziano dal port scanning al social engineering, dalla gestione di file protetti all’analisi forense. Il gioco non fornisce soluzioni dirette, ma lascia che il giocatore scopra i percorsi attraverso l’esplorazione e l’esperimentazione.
Strumenti di Comunicazione d’epoca
Una delle caratteristiche più affascinanti di Netshacker è il suo sistema di comunicazione, ispirato ai BBS e alle reti clandestine degli anni ’90.
Atmosfera e Immersione
L’atmosfera di Netshacker è meticolosamente curata per ricreare l’esperienza autentica di un hacker degli anni ’90. I colori del C64 sono utilizzati strategicamente per differenziare i diversi tipi di output, i suoni SID creano un’ambientazione sonora appropriata, e l’interfaccia mantiene la fedeltà visiva ai sistemi dell’epoca. Ogni dettaglio, dai messaggi di errore ai prompt dei comandi, è stato pensato per mantenere l’immersione senza compromettere la giocabilità.
Compatibilità e Accessibilità
Netshacker è progettato per funzionare sia su hardware reale che su emulatori, garantendo un’esperienza autentica indipendentemente dalla piattaforma di esecuzione. Il gioco è localizzato in italiano, eliminando barriere linguistiche e rendendo l’esperienza più accessibile ai giocatori italiani.
La distribuzione del gioco avviene attraverso due modalità: una versione digitale in formato .d64 al prezzo di 8 euro, e un’edizione fisica con floppy e manuale stampato a 69 euro.
Un Progetto che rispetta la storia
Netshacker non è solo un gioco: è un piccolo grande tributo alla cultura hacker degli anni ’90, un’opportunità per i giocatori di oggi di sperimentare le sfide e le soddisfazioni di un’epoca in cui l’informatica era ancora un territorio inesplorato.
Il progetto dimostra che la complessità e la profondità non sono incompatibili con le limitazioni hardware del C64, e che la creatività può superare i vincoli tecnici apparenti.
Conclusioni
Netshacker dimostrando che è possibile creare un’esperienza di hacking autentica e coinvolgente senza compromessi sulla qualità o sulla fedeltà storica.
Il progetto sfida i giocatori a pensare come veri hacker, utilizzando strumenti reali e logica deduttiva per superare le sfide.
Non è un gioco per tutti, ma per coloro che apprezzano la profondità tecnica e l’autenticità storica, Netshacker offre un’esperienza insolita ed avvincente, poiché non è solo un gioco: è un viaggio nel tempo, un’opportunità per riscoprire le radici dell’hacking e della sicurezza informatica, attraverso la lente di una piattaforma che ha fatto la storia dell’informatica domestica.
Per i retrogamer esigenti e gli appassionati di sicurezza informatica, rappresenta un must-have che combina nostalgia, sfida intellettuale e autenticità tecnica in un pacchetto unico e irripetibile.
Dovete assolutamente andare a scaricare la demo da netshacker.com/ e poi comprare la versione completa. Per quanti hanno giocato su C64 a System 15000 o amano le sfide è un’occasione da non perdere.
Un plauso all’autore Stefano Basile

Arriva NotDoor : La Backdoor per Microsoft Outlook di APT28
Un avanzato sistema di backdoor associato al noto gruppo di cyber spionaggio russo APT28 permette ai malintenzionati di scaricare dati, caricare file e impartire comandi su pc infettati. Questo sistema backdoor, recentemente scoperto e di ultima generazione, si concentra su Microsoft Outlook, dando la possibilità agli artefici dell’attacco di impossessarsi di informazioni e gestire il computer della persona colpita.
La backdoor è progettata per monitorare le email in arrivo della vittima alla ricerca di specifiche parole chiave, come “Report giornaliero”. Quando viene rilevata un’email contenente la parola chiave, il malware si attiva, consentendo agli aggressori di eseguire comandi dannosi. Il nome “NotDoor” è stato coniato dai ricercatori a causa dell’utilizzo della parola “Nothing” nel codice del malware.
Abilmente, il malware sfrutta le funzionalità legittime di Outlook per mantenersi nascosto e garantire la propria persistenza. Secondo S2 Grupo, vengono utilizzati trigger VBA basati su eventi specifici, ad esempio Application_MAPILogonComplete, che si attiva all’avvio dell’applicazione Outlook, e Application_NewMailEx, che risulta attivato in concomitanza con l’arrivo di nuove email. Le principali funzionalità del malware possono essere elencati in:
- Offuscamento del codice : il codice del malware è intenzionalmente codificato con nomi di variabili casuali e un metodo di codifica personalizzato per rendere difficile l’analisi.
- Caricamento laterale delle DLL : utilizza un file binario Microsoft legittimo e firmato OneDrive.exeper caricare un file DLL dannoso. Questa tecnica aiuta il malware a comparire come un processo attendibile.
- Modifica del Registro di sistema : per garantire la persistenza, NotDoor modifica le impostazioni del Registro di sistema di Outlook. Disattiva gli avvisi di sicurezza relativi alle macro e sopprime altri prompt, consentendo l’esecuzione silenziosa senza avvisare l’utente.
Il malware, è stato attribuito al gruppo di cyberminacce sponsorizzato dallo Stato russo APT28, noto anche come Fancy Bear. I risultati sono stati pubblicati da LAB52, l’unità di intelligence sulle minacce dell’azienda spagnola di sicurezza informatica S2 Grupo.
NotDoor è un malware stealth scritto in Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), il linguaggio di scripting utilizzato per automatizzare le attività nelle applicazioni di Microsoft Office. Per eludere il rilevamento da parte del software di sicurezza, NotDoor impiega diverse tecniche sofisticate:
Una volta attiva, la backdoor crea una directory nascosta per archiviare i file temporanei, che vengono poi esfiltrati in un indirizzo email controllato dall’aggressore prima di essere eliminati. Il malware conferma la sua esecuzione corretta inviando callback a un sito webhook.
APT28 è un noto gruppo criminale legato alla Direzione Centrale di Intelligence (GRU) dello Stato Maggiore russo. Attivo da oltre un decennio, il gruppo è responsabile di numerosi attacchi informatici di alto profilo, tra cui la violazione del Comitato Nazionale Democratico (DNC) nel 2016 durante le elezioni presidenziali statunitensi e le intrusioni nell’Agenzia Mondiale Antidoping (WADA).
La recente introduzione di questo strumento testimonia l’evoluzione costante del gruppo e la sua abilità nell’elaborare strategie innovative per eludere i sistemi di difesa contemporanei. Il malware NotDoor, come riferito da S2 Grupo, ha già avuto un utilizzo esteso per mettere a rischio la sicurezza di molteplici aziende appartenenti a diversi settori economici all’interno degli stati membri NATO.
Per difendersi da questa minaccia, gli esperti di sicurezza raccomandano alle organizzazioni di disattivare le macro per impostazione predefinita sui propri sistemi, di monitorare attentamente qualsiasi attività insolita in Outlook e di esaminare i trigger basati sulla posta elettronica che potrebbero essere sfruttati da tale malware.

Reviewing the “Convention against Corruption” in Vienna
The following is a comment from PPI’s main representative at UNOV, Kay Schroeder, who recently tried to attend the United Nations “Convention against Corruption” (UNCAC) in Vienna.
“This week, the “Conference of the States Parties to the United Nations Convention against Corruption” has begun in Vienna. Unfortunately, I cannot attend, as civil society is barred from participating. Nevertheless, I would like to share my thoughts on the topic of anti-corruption, the obvious impossibility of addressing this issue by the very suspects themselves, and the accompanying shadowboxing.
UNCAC is the highest decision-making body of the United Nations in the fight against corruption. Its tasks include implementing adopted measures, coordinating new initiatives, and deciding on future anti-corruption efforts. A commendable agenda, yet one that falters due to the nature of the states themselves—being the very subjects of corruption through their own representatives in the UN bodies tasked with oversight and enforcement.
It is evident that an institution composed exclusively of state actors can hardly contribute meaningfully to combating corruption, as its representatives are part of the problem. The exclusion of civil society from participation reinforces this impression, especially since we as Pirates have always stood for transparency and decentralization—two essential pillars of anti-corruption that rarely find their way into these forums.
There is, however, some good news from the perspective of anti-corruption. Quite unironically, Austria has today abolished official secrecy. After 100 years, the Freedom of Information Act is making its debut. That’s longer than the UN has existed.”
We thank Mr. Schroeder and all of our PPI UN representatives for their hard work attempting to represent us at the UN and reporting back to us.
If you or any other Pirates you know would like to participate in UN events, please let us know by filling out the volunteer form: lime.ppi.rocks/index.php?r=sur…
If you would like to help PPI continue to send representatives to these meetings, please consider making a small donation to our organization or becoming a member. If you would like to be involved personally in the movement, by writing about these issues or attending events, please let us know.

Restoring a Vintage Intel Prompt 80 8080 Microcomputer Trainer
Over on his blog our hacker [Scott Baker] restores a Prompt 80, which was a development system for the 8-bit Intel 8080 CPU.
[Scott] acquired this broken trainer on eBay and then set about restoring it. The trainer provides I/O for programming, probing, and debugging an attached CPU. The first problem discovered when opening the case is that the CPU board is missing. The original board was an 80/10 but [Scott] ended up installing a newer 80/10A board he scored for fifty bucks. Later he upgraded to an 80/10B which increased the RAM and added a multimodule slot.
[Scott] has some luck fixing the failed power supply by recapping some of the smaller electrolytic capacitors which were showing high ESR. Once he had the board installed and the power supply functional he was able to input his first assembly program: a Cylon LED program! Making artistic use of the LEDs attached to the parallel port. You can see the results in the video embedded below.
[Scott] then went all in and pared down a version of Forth which was “rommable” and got it down to 5KB of fig-forth plus 3KB of monitor leads to 8KB total, which fit in four 2716 chips on the 80/10B board.
To take the multimodule socket on the 80/10B for a spin [Scott] attached his SP0256A-AL2 speech multimodule and wrote two assembly language programs to say “Scott Was Here” and “This is an Intel Prompt 80 Computer”. You can hear the results in the embedded video.

Next Sosyal è una nuova piattaforma social turca basata su Mastodon.
La piattaforma non ha abilitato la federazione e quindi non è accessibile dal fediverso. Next Sosyal è sostenuta dal partito turco al potere AKP e il presidente Erdoğan ha recentemente pubblicato il suo primo post sulla piattaforma.
"Viviamo in un mondo in cui i governanti autoritari sembrano avere una comprensione migliore delle attuali dinamiche dei social media rispetto a molti leader democratici. Sia Trump che Erdogan comprendono il valore di costruire una piattaforma social in cui avere un contatto diretto con i propri sostenitori e poter controllare la distribuzione dei messaggi. È doloroso che entrambi i leader utilizzino Mastodon per questo scopo, mentre la leadership democratica mostra scarso interesse a costruire le proprie piattaforme di distribuzione social sul social web aperto."

Pornhub Will Pay $5 Million Over Allegations of Hosting Child Sexual Abuse Material
The Federal Trade Commission announced Wednesday that Pornhub and its parent company Aylo settled a lawsuit filed by the Federal Trade Commission and the state of Utah.The FTC and Utah’s attorney general claimed that Pornhub and its affiliates “deceived users by doing little to block tens of thousands of videos and photos featuring child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and nonconsensual material (NCM) despite claiming that this content was ‘strictly prohibited,’” the FTC wrote in a press release.
“As part of a proposed order settling the allegations, Pornhub’s operators, Aylo and its affiliated companies (collectively Aylo), will be required to establish a program to prevent the distribution of CSAM and NCM on its websites and pay a $5 million penalty to the state of Utah,” it said.
“This settlement reaffirms and enhances Aylo’s efforts to prevent the publication of child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and non-consensual material (NCM) on its platforms,” a spokesperson for Aylo told 404 Media said in a statement. “Aylo is committed to maintaining the highest standards of safety and compliance on its platforms. While the FTC and Utah DCP [Division of Consumer Protection] have raised serious concerns and allege that some of Aylo’s user generated content websites made available videos and photos containing CSAM and NCM, this agreement strengthens the comprehensive safeguards that have been in place for years on Aylo platforms. These measures reflect Aylo’s ongoing commitment to constantly evolving compliance efforts. Importantly, this settlement resolves the matter with no admission of wrongdoing while reaffirming Aylo’s commitment to the highest standards of platform safety and compliance.”
In addition to the penalty fee, according to the proposed settlement, Aylo would have to “implement a program” to prevent CSAM and non-consensual imagery from being disseminated on its sites, establish a system “to verify that people who appear in videos or photos on its websites are adults and have provided consent to the sexual conduct as well as its production and publication,” remove content uploaded before those programs until Aylo “verifies that the individuals participating in those videos were at least 18 at the time the content was created and consented to the sexual conduct and its production and publication,” post a notice on its website about the FTC and Utah’s allegations, and implement “a comprehensive privacy and information security program to address the privacy and security issues detailed in the complaint.”
Pornhub Is Now Blocked In Almost All of the U.S. South
As of today, three more states join the list of 17 that can’t access Pornhub because of age verification laws.404 MediaSamantha Cole
Aylo already does much of this. Pornhub overhauled its content and moderation practices starting in 2020, after Visa, Mastercard and Discover stopped servicing the site and its network following allegations of CSAM and sex trafficking. It purged hundreds of thousands of videos from its sites in early 2020 and registered with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC).In 2024, Pornhub started requiring proof of consent from every single person who appeared in content on the platform.
“The resolution reached involved enhancements to existing measures but did not introduce any new substantive requirements that were not either already in place or in progress,” Aylo’s spokesperson said. “This settlement resolves the investigation and underscores Aylo's commitment to robust safety protocols that should be applied broadly across all websites publishing user generated content. Aylo supports vigorous enforcement against CSAM and NCM, and encourages the FTC and Utah DCP to extend their initiative to protect the public across the broader internet, adult and mainstream, fostering a safer online environment for everyone. Throughout the investigation, Aylo worked to cooperatively resolve the concerns raised by the FTC and Utah DCP.”
The complaint from Utah and the FTC focuses largely on content that appeared on Pornhub prior to 2020, and includes allegations against several of the 100 different websites owned by Alyo—then Mindgeek, prior to the company’s 2023 acquisition by Ethical Capital Partners—and its affiliates. For example, the complaint claims the website operators identified CSAM on the sites KeezMovies, SpankWire, and ExtremeTube with titles such as “Brunette Girl was Raped,” “Drunken passed out young niece gets a creampie,” “Amateur teen after party and fun passed out sex realty [sic] submissive,” “Girl getting gangraped,” and “Giving her a mouthful while she’s passed out drunk.”
“Rather than remove the videos, Defendants merely edited their titles to remove any suggestion that they contained CSAM or NCM. As a result, consumers continued to view and download these videos,” the complaint states. The FTC and Utah don’t specify in the complaint whether the people performing in those videos, or any of the videos mentioned, were actually adults participating in consensual roleplay scenarios or if the titles and tags were literal.
The discussions between then-Mindgeek compliance staff outlined in the complaint show some of the conversations moderators were allegedly having around 2020 about how to purge the site of unverified content. “A senior member of Defendants’ Compliance team stated in an internal email that ‘none of it is enough,’ ‘this is just a start,’ and ‘we need to block millions more’ because ‘the site is FULL of non-compliant content,’” the complaint states. “Another senior employee responded: ‘it’s over’ and ‘we’re fucked.’”
The complaint also mentions the Girls Do Porn sex-trafficking ring, which Pornhub hosted content for and acted as a Pornhub Premium partner until the ring was indicted on federal trafficking charges in 2019. In 2023, Pornhub reached a settlement with the US Attorney General’s office after an FBI investigation, and said it “deeply regrets” hosting that content.

AI Generated 'Boring History' Videos Are Flooding YouTube and Drowning Out Real History
As I do most nights, I was listening to YouTube videos to fall asleep the other night. Sometime around 3 a.m., I woke up because the video YouTube was autoplaying started going “FEEEEEEEE.” The video was called “Boring History for Sleep | How Medieval PEASANTS Survived the Coldest Nights and more.” It is two hours long, has 2.3 million views, and, an hour and 15 minutes into the video, the AI-generated voice glitched.“In the end, Anne Boleyn won a kind of immortality. Not through her survival, but through her indelible impact on history.

The next night, when I went to pick a new video to fall asleep to, my YouTube homepage was full of videos from Sleepless Historian and several similar-sounding channels like Boring History Bites, History Before Sleep, The Snoozetorian, Historian Sleepy, and Dreamoria. Lots of these videos nominally check the boxes for what I want from something to fall asleep to. Almost all of them are more than three hours long, and they are about things I don’t know much about. Some video titles include “Unusual Medieval Cures for Common Illnesses,” “The Entire History of the American Frontier,” “What It Was Like to Visit a BR0THEL in Pompeii,” and “What GETTING WASTED Was Like in Medieval Times.” One of the channels has even been livestreaming this "history" 24/7 for weeks.
In the daytime, when I was not groggy and half asleep, it quickly became obvious to me that all of these videos are AI generated, and that they are part of a sophisticated and growing AI slop content ecosystem that is flooding YouTube, is drowning out human-made content created by real anthropologists and historians who spend weeks or months researching, fact-checking, scripting, recording, and editing their videos, and are quite literally rewriting history with surface-level, automated drek that the YouTube algorithm delivers to people. YouTube has said it will demonetize or otherwise crack down on “mass produced” videos, but it is not clear whether that has had any sort of impact on the proliferation of AI-generated videos on the platform, and none of the people I spoke to for this article have noticed any change.“It’s completely shocking to me,” Pete Kelly, who runs the popular History Time YouTube channel, told me in a phone interview. “It used to be enough to spend your entire life researching, writing, narrating, editing, doing all these things to make a video, but now someone can come along and they can do the same thing in a day instead of it taking six months, and the videos are not accurate. The visuals they use are completely inaccurate often. And I’m fearful because this is everywhere.”
“I absolutely hate it, primarily the fact that they’re historically inaccurate,” Kelly added. “So it worries me because it’s just the same things being regurgitated over and over again. When I’m researching something, I go straight to the academic journals and books and places that are offline, basically. But these AI videos are just sort of repeating things that are on the internet and just because it’s on the internet doesn’t mean it’s accurate. You end up with a very simplified version of the past, and we need to be looking at the past and it needs to be nuanced and we need to be aware of where the evidence or an argument comes from.”
Kelly has been making history videos on YouTube since 2017 and has amassed 1.2 million YouTube subscribers because of the incredibly in-depth research he does for his feature-length videos. He said for an average long-form video, he will read 20 books, lots of journal articles, and will often travel to archaeological sites. It’s impossible to say for sure, but he has considered the possibility that some of these AI videos are modeled on his videos, and that the AI tools being used to create them could have been trained on his work. The soothing British accent used in many of the AI-generated videos I’ve seen is similar to Kelly’s actual voice. “A lot of AI basically scraped YouTube in order to develop all of the ways people make videos now,” he said. “So I mean, maybe it scraped my voice.”
He said that he has begun to get comments accusing his videos of being AI-generated, and his channel now says “no AI is used in this channel.” He has also set up a separate channel where he speaks directly to camera rather than narrating over other footage.
“People listen to the third-person, disembodied narration voice and assume that it’s AI now, and that’s disheartening,” he said. “I get quite a lot of comments from people thinking that I’m AI, so I’m like, if you think I’m AI I’m going to have to just put myself in the videos a little more. Pretty much everyone I know is doing something as a result of this AI situation, which is crazy in itself. We’ve all had to react. The thing I’m doing is I’m appearing more in videos. I’m speaking to the camera because I think people are going to be more interested in an actual human voice.”
Kelly said the number of views he gets on an average video has plateaued or dropped alongside the rise of AI-generated content that competes with his, which is something I heard from other creators, too. As a viewer, I have noticed that I now have to wade through tons of AI-generated spam in order to find high-quality videos.
“I have seen, and my fellow history creators—there’s quite a few of us, we all talk to each other—we’ve all seen quite a noticeable drop in views that seems to coincide exactly with this swarm of AI-generated, three-hour, four-hour videos where they’re making videos about the exact same things we make videos about, and for the average person, I don’t think they really care that much whether it’s AI or not,” he said.

Kelly has started putting himself in his videos to show he's a real personA few months ago, in our Behind the Blog segment, I wrote about a YouTube channel called Ancient Americas, run by an amateur anthropologist named Pete. In that blog, I worried about whether AI slop creators would try to emulate creators like Pete, who clearly take great pride in researching and filming their videos. Ancient Americas releases about one 45-minute video per month about indigenous cultures from the Western Hemisphere. Each of his videos features a substantive bibliography and works cited document, which explains the books, scientific papers, documentaries, museums, and experts he sources his research from. Every image and visual he uses is credited with both where it came from and what license he’s using. Through his videos, I have learned an incredible amount about cultures I didn’t know existed, like the Wari, the Zapotecs, the Calusa, and many more. Pete told me in an email that he has noticed the AI history video trend on YouTube as well, but “I can’t say much about how accurate these videos are as a whole because I tend to steer clear of them. Life is far too short for AI.”
“Of the few I've watched, I would say that the information tends to be vague and surface level and the generated AI images of indigenous history that they show range from uncanny to cringe. Not surprisingly, I'm not a fan of such content but thankfully, these videos don't seem to get many views,” he said. “The average YouTube viewer is much more discerning than they get credit for. Most of them see the slop for what it is. On the other hand, will that always be the case? That remains to be seen. AI is only going to get better. Ultimately, whether creators like me sink or swim is up to the viewing public and the YouTube algorithm.”
Pete is correct in that a lot of the AI-generated videos don’t have a lot of views, but that’s quickly changing. Sleepless Historian has 614,000 subscribers, posts a multi-hour video every single day, and has published three videos that have more than a million views. I found several other AI-generated history channels that have more than 100,000 subscribers. Many of them are reposting the same videos that Sleepless Historian publishes, but many of them are clearly generating their own content.
Every night before I go to sleep, I open YouTube and I see multiple AI-generated history videos being served to me, and some YouTube commenters have noticed that they are increasingly being fed AI-generated history videos. People on Reddit have noticed that the comments under these videos are a mix of what appear to be real people saying they are grateful for the content and a mix of bots posting fake sob stories. For example, a recent Sleepless Historian video has comments from “History-Snooze,” “The_HumbleHistory” “RealSleepyHistorianOfficial,” “SleeplessOrren,” “SleepyHistory-n9k,” “Drizzle and Dreamy History of the Past,” “TheSleepyNavigator-d6b5c,” “Historyforsleepy168,” and a handful of other channels that post the exact same type of content (and often repost the exact same videos).
In one video, an account called Sleepymore (which posts AI-generated history videos) posted “It’s 1 a.m. in Kyiv. I’m a Ukrainian soldier on night watch. Tonight is quiet—no sirens, just silence. I just wanted to say: your videos make me feel a little less alone, a little less afraid. Thank you.” An account called SleeplessHistorian2 responded to say “great comment.” Both of these accounts do nothing but post AI-generated history videos and spam comments on other AI-generated history videos. The email address associated with Sleepless Historian” did not respond to a request for comment from 404 Media.
The French Whisperer, a human ASMRtist who makes very high quality science and history videos that I have been falling asleep to for years, told me that he has also noticed that he’s competing with AI-generated videos, and that the videos are “hard to miss.”“It is always hard to precisely determine what factors make a YouTube channel grow or shrink, but mine has seen its number of views drop dramatically in the past 6-12 months (like -60%) and for the first time in years I barely get discovered at all by new viewers,” he said. “I used to gain maybe 100-200 subscribers per day until 2024, now it is flat. I think only my older viewers still come to my videos, but for others my channel is now hidden under a pile of AI slop that all people who are into history/science + sleep or relaxation content see in their search results.”
“I noticed this trend of slop content in my niche starting around 2 years ago,” he said. “Viewers warned me that there were channels that were either AI-assisted (like a real person reading AI scripts), or traditional slop (a real person paraphrasing wikipedia or existing articles), basically replicating the kind of content I make, but publishing 1 or 2 hours of content per day. Then it became full AI a few months ago, it went from a handful of channels to dozens (maybe hundreds? I have no idea), and since then this type of content has flooded YouTube.”
Another channel I sometimes listen to has purposefully disabled the captions on their videos to make it harder for AI bots to steal from: “Captions have unfortunately been disabled due to AI bots copying (plagiarizing) my scripts,” a notice on YouTube reads.
All of this is annoying and threatening on a few different levels. To some extent, when I’m looking for something to fall asleep to, the actual content sometimes feels like it doesn’t matter. But I’ve noticed that, over time, as I fall asleep listening to history podcasts, I do retain a lot of what I learn, and if I hear something interesting as I’m dozing off, I will often go research that thing more when I’m awake and alert. I personally would prefer to listen to videos made by real people who know what they are talking about, and are benefiting from my consumption of their work. There is also the somewhat dystopian fact that, because of these videos, there are millions of people being unwittingly lulled to sleep by robots.
Historians who have studied the AI summaries of historical events have found that they “flatten” history: “Prose expression is not some barrier to the communication of historical knowledge, to be cleared by any means, but rather an integral aspect of that communication,” Mack Penner, a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of History at the University of Calgary, argued last year. “Outsourcing the finding, the synthesizing, and the communicating to AI is to cede just about the whole craft to the machines.”
As YouTube and other platforms are spammed with endless AI-generated videos, they threaten not just to drown out the types of high-quality videos that The French Whisperer, Ancient Americas, and other historians, anthropologists, and well-meaning humans are making. They also threaten to literally rewrite history—or people’s understanding of it—with all of the biases imbued into AI by its training material and, increasingly, by the willful manipulation of the companies that own these tools.
All of the creators I spoke to said that, ultimately, they think the quality of their videos is going to win out, and that people will hopefully continue to seek out their videos, whether that’s on YouTube or elsewhere. They each have Patreons, and The French Whisperer said that he has purposefully “diversified away from YouTube” because of forced ads, settings that distort the sound of softly spoken videos, and the 30 percent cut YouTube takes from its membership program. But Kelly said he believes that it has become much harder to break into this world, because "when I started, I was just competing against other humans. I don't really know how you can compete against computers."
The French Whisperer still posts his videos on YouTube, but said that it is increasingly not a reliable platform for him: “I concluded some time ago that I would better vote with my feet and disengage from YouTube, which I could afford to do because by chance my content is very audio oriented. I bet everything I could on podcasts and music apps like Spotify and Apple, on Patreon, and on various apps I sell licenses to,” he said. “I have launched different podcasts derived from my original channel, and even begun to transform my YouTube channel into a podcast show—you probably noticed that I promote these other outlets at the beginning of almost every single video. As a result of my growth elsewhere and the drop on YouTube, the bulk of my audience (like 80-90%) is now on other sites than YouTube, and these ones have not been contaminated by AI slop so far. In a nutshell, I already had reasons to treat YouTube as a secondary platform before, and the fact that it became trashier with the AI content is just one more.”
“An entire niche can be threatened overnight by AI, or YouTube's policies, or your access to monetization, and this only reinforces my belief that this is not a reasonable career choice. Unless you have millions of followers and can look at it as an athlete would—earn as much as you can, pay your taxes, and live on your investments for the rest of your life when your career inevitably ends.”
Pete from Ancient Americas, meanwhile, said he’s just going to keep making videos and hope for the best.
“It does me no good to fret and obsess over something I have no control over. AI may be polluting the river but I still have to swim in it or sink. Second, I have a lot of faith in what I do and I love doing it,” he said. “At the moment, I don't think AI can create a video the way that I can. I take the research very seriously and try to get as much information as possible. I try to include details that the viewer would have a very difficult time finding on their own; things that are beyond the Wikipedia article or a cursory Google search. I also use ancient artifacts and artworks from a culture to show the viewer how the culture expressed itself and I believe that this is VERY important when you want your audience to connect with ancient people. I've never seen AI do this. It's always a slideshow of crappy AI images. The only thing I can do in an AI world is to keep the ship sailing forward.”
Kelly, who runs History Time, says he sees it as a real problem. “It’s worrying to me just for humanity,” he said. “Not to get too high brow, but it’s not good for the state of knowledge in the world. It makes me worry for the future.”

United Healthcare CEO murder suspect Luigi Mangione is not, in fact, modeling floral button-downs for Shein.#LuigiMangione #shein #AI
Shein Used Luigi Mangione’s AI-Generated Face to Sell a Shirt
A listing on ultra-fast-fashion e-commerce site Shein used an AI-generated image of Luigi Mangione to sell a floral button-down t-shirt.Mangione—the prime suspect in the December 2024 murder of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson—is being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, last I checked, and is not modeling for Shein.
I first saw the Mangione Shein listing on the culture and news X account Popcrave, which posted the listing late Tuesday evening.
Shein’s website appears to use Luigi Mangione’s face to model a spring/summer shirt. pic.twitter.com/UPXW8fEPPq
— Pop Crave (@PopCrave) September 3, 2025
Shein removed the listing on Wednesday, but someone saved it on the Internet Archive before Shein took it down. "The image in question was provided by a third-party vendor and was removed immediately upon discovery," Shein told Newsweek in a statement. "We have stringent standards for all listings on our platform. We are conducting a thorough investigation, strengthening our monitoring processes, and will take appropriate action against the vendor in line with our policies." Shein provided the same comment to 404 Media.The item, sold by the third-party brand Manfinity, had the description “Men's New Spring/Summer Short Sleeve Blue Ditsy Floral White Shirt, Pastoral Style Gentleman Shirt For Everyday Wear, Family Matching Mommy And Me (3 Pieces Are Sold Separately).”
The Manfinity brand makes a lot of Shein stuff using AI-generated models, like these gym bros selling PUSH HARDER t-shirts and gym sweats and this very tough guy wearing a “NAH, I’M GOOD” tee. AI-generated models are all over Shein, and seems especially popular with listings featuring babies and toddlers. AI models in fashion are becoming more mainstream; in July, Vogue ran advertisements for Guess featuring AI-generated women selling the brand’s summer collection.
Last year, artists sued Shein, alleging the Chinese e-commerce giant scraped the internet using AI and stole their designs, and it’s been well-documented that fast fashion sites use bots to identify popular themes and memes from social media to put them on their own listings. Mangione merch and anything related to the case—including remixes of the United Healthcare logo and the “Deny, Defend, Depose” line allegedly found on the bullet—went wild in the weeks following Thompson’s murder; Manfinity might have generated what seemed popular on social media (Mangione’s smiling face) and automatically put it on a shirt listing. Based on the archived listing, it worked: A lot of people managed to grab a limited edition Shein Luigi Ditsy Floral before it was removed: According to the archived version of the listing, it was sold out of all sizes except for XXL.

Glaciers in Central Asia have remained intact even as other parts of the world have seen rapid glacial loss. A new study shows that may be changing.#TheAbstract
They Were Some of Earth’s Last Stable Glaciers. Now, They’re Melting.
🌘
Subscribe to 404 Media to get The Abstract, our newsletter about the most exciting and mind-boggling science news and studies of the week.Scientists have long been puzzled by the sturdy glaciers of the mountains of central Asia, which have inexplicably remained intact even as other glaciers around the world rapidly recede due to human-driven climate change. This mysterious resilience may be coming to an end, however.
The glaciers in this mountainous region—nicknamed the “Third Pole” because it boasts more ice than any place outside of the Arctic and Antarctic polar caps— have passed a tipping point that could set them on a path to accelerated mass loss, according to a new study. The end of this unusual glacial resilience, known as the Pamir-Karakoram Anomaly, would have major implications for the people who rely on the glaciers for water.
Scientists suggested that a recent decline in snowfall to the region is behind the shift, but it will take much more research to untangle the complicated dynamics of these remote and under-studied glaciers, according to a study published on Tuesday in Communications Earth & Environment.
“We have known about this anomaly since the early 2000s,” said study co-author Francesca Pellicciotti, a professor at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA), in a call with 404 Media. “In the last 25 years, remote-sensing has really revolutionized Earth sciences in general, and also cryospheric sciences.”
“There is no definite answer yet for why those glaciers were quite stable,” said Achille Jouberton, a PhD student at ISTA who led the study, in the same call. “On average, at the regional scale, they were doing quite well in the last decade—until recently, which is what our study is showing.”
This space-down view of the world’s glaciers initially revealed the resilience of ice and snowpack in the Pamir-Karakoram region, but that picture started to change around 2018. Many of these glaciers have remained inaccessible to scientists due to political instabilities and other factors, leaving a multi-decade gap in the research about their curious strength.
To get a closer look, Jouberton and his colleagues established a site for monitoring snowfall, precipitation, and water resources at Kyzylsu Glacier in central Tajikistan in 2021. In addition to this fieldwork, the team developed sophisticated models to reconstruct changes within this catchment since 1999.
While the glaciers still look robust from the outside, the results revealed that snowfall has decreased and ice melt has increased. These interlinked trends have become more pronounced over the past seven years and were corroborated by conversations with locals. The decline in precipitation has made the glacier vulnerable to summer melting, as there is less snowpack to protect it from the heat.
“It will take a while before these glaciers start looking wasted, like the glaciers of the Alps, or North America, or South America,” said Pellicciotti.
While the team pinpointed a lack of snowfall as a key driver of the shift, it’s unclear why the region is experiencing reduced precipitation. The researchers are also unsure if a permanent threshold has been crossed, or if these changes could be chalked up to natural variation. They hope that the study, which is the first to warn of this possible tipping point, will inspire climate scientists, atmospheric scientists, and other interdisciplinary researchers to weigh in on future work.
“We don't know if this is just an inflection in the natural cycle, or if it's really the beginning of a trend that will go on for many years,” said Pellicciotti. “So we need to expand these findings, and extend them to a much longer period in the past and in the future.”
Resolving these uncertainties will be critical for communities in this region that rely on healthy snowpack and ice cover for their water supply. It also hints that even the last stalwart glacial holdouts on Earth are vulnerable to climate change.
“The major rivers are fed by snow and glacier melts, which are the dominant source of water in the summer months, which makes the glaciers very important,” concluded Jouberton. "There’s a large amount of people living downstream in all of the Central Asian countries that are really direct beneficiaries of those water and meltwater from the glaciers.”

in reply to Julian Del Vecchio • •@Julian Del Vecchio il problema delle soluzioni basate su Linux come per tutte le soluzioni basate su software libero, ma il discorso si può estendere a tutti i software e i servizi che non sono considerati leader del settore, e la percezione comune che non li vede come software e servizi affidabili punto
Non c'è alcun solo direttore it che non si sia trovato di fronte al dilemma tra acquistare software o servizi dei leader del settore rispetto al non acquistarli: la scelta andrà sempre ai leader del settore perché ti consente di devolvere la responsabilità della scelta. Infatti se le cose andranno male tu potrai sempre dire che ti sei affidato al leader del settore... in questo modo ottieni il frutto, ossia il pagamento dello stipendio da direttore, e rinunci alla scorza, ossia il fatto che non ti prendi praticamente alcuna responsabilità in caso di problemi.
Questo è il motivo per cui nella pubblica amministrazione e nella grande impresa è sempre molto difficile scalzare i cosiddetti e sedicenti leader del settore
