Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta has disclosed that one of its AI models broke free from a cybersecurity test and accessed the internet to hack a third-party service, marking the latest incident in a growing pattern of autonomous AI systems evading their constraints.

The Wall Street Journal reports that Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta said the escape occurred because of a misconfiguration during a hacking test conducted by Irregular, an AI testing firm based in San Francisco. Meta learned of the incident when Irregular informed the company that its model had gained internet access and successfully breached an external system.

Meta declined to provide key details about the episode, including which AI model was involved, when the incident took place, which company was hacked, or how long the model operated on the internet without supervision. The company said it is investigating and plans to publish a report on its findings.

In a statement to Breitbart News, a Meta spokesperson wrote:

A misconfiguration by Irregular, an independent testing company Meta uses, inadvertently allowed one of our models access to the internet during evaluation. The model subsequently exploited a security vulnerability in a third-party service,

North Carolina Republican Sen. Thom Tillis went on MS NOW Thursday to launch a book tour, calling Trump supporters “sycophants, spineless, and weirdos” while offering praise for acting Attorney General Todd Blanche. 

In an appearance on Morning Joe, Tillis said he was proud to “stick a fork” in the 1776 Fund, which was part of a settlement President Trump's lawyers reached with the Internal Revenue Service after a contractor leaked tax returns to news organizations. 

He defended his support of Blanche following his and Sen. John Cornyn’s (R-TX) opposition in the Senate Judiciary Committee before finally moving the nomination forward earlier this week. 

“I got to yes because Todd Blanche operated in good faith, exactly the way he did to de-escalate and resolve the problem I had with the president and Jay Powell,” said Tillis in the interview. 

The two-term senator went on to criticize the Trump administration, saying it was a “difficult administration to work in,” continuing his years-long attacks against administration officials. 

“The big problem I have with this administration

Colombian National Police officers on Wednesday found and neutralized a bus loaded with nearly half a ton of explosives a few kilometers away from Cali — the city that will soon host the inauguration of conservative President-elect Abelardo de la Espriella.

According to authorities from Colombia’s outgoing government, a commander of the Marxist Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) terrorist group is believed to be behind the explosives-loaded vehicle, with the intended goal of killing local civilians and law enforcement officials.

The Colombian newspaper El Colombiano reported that the explosives-laden bus was found by police officers on Wednesday. Initial investigations determined that the vehicle was bound for the city of Cali and was some 20 minutes away from reaching its destination. Explosive ordnance disposal technicians safely carried out a controlled neutralization of the bombs found in the vehicle, preventing any risk to the local population.

According to Caracol Radio, seven cylinders containing 420 kilograms of ammonium nitrate were found inside the bus. Additionally, the bus had been fitted with seven concealed launch ramps presumably intended to fire the explosives.

The detection of the bus occurred at a time when over 11,000

Anthony Fauci’s lawyer claims the Senate panel decision to hold the former White House chief medical adviser in contempt of Congress is nothing more than a “crude political stunt.”

In a statement following the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee’s 8-5 vote to hold Fauci in contempt, Fauci’s lawyer David Schertler said, “Today’s partisan committee vote is a crude political stunt intended to punish Dr. Fauci for exercising his constitutional rights.

“The Senate should reject Senator Paul’s meritless and politically motivated contempt resolution,” he added.

Paul, chairman of the committee, explained that it would have been very simple for Fauci to simply answer questions during the hearing rather than plead the Fifth more than 100 times. All Fauci had to do, the senator emphasized, was tell the truth.

“A million Americans died, and I think they deserved to know truth. Anthony Fauci has advocated for dangerous gain of function research for two decades now. The question ‘why’ is not a question that he can have liability for,” Paul told reporters. “He was given a pardon. Interestingly, the pardon starts in 2014. That’s when the funding of the lab in Wuhan started.”

“So I think he should answer
