KUANTAN, May 29 — A 58-year-old man was found drowned in Sungai Pahang at Kampung Paya Pasir, Maran yesterday afternoon. A Pahang Fire and Rescue Department spokesman said a fisherman found the victim's body floating at around 3 pm near the Kampung Paya Pasir sand pump. He said the department used an aluminium boat to retrieve the victim, whose floating body was caught among a pile of driftwood. The body was subsequently handed over to the police for further investigation. 'The operation faced difficulties in launching the boat due to the soft, sandy terrain of the area,' he added.

Aptima Awarded DARPA Contract to Bring Powerful Media Forensic Technologies to Market
Aptima to work with DARPA to commercialize defenses against synthetic and manipulated media Woburn, MA, May 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Aptima, Inc., a leader in optimizing human performance through innovative technologies, announced today it has been awarded a contract by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Commercial Strategy Office to lead a new commercialization effort focused on one of today's most urgent challenges: making reliable media forensic capabilities available to users to help mitigate online threats perpetuated via synthetic and manipulated media. With AI-generated images, audio, and video becoming more convincing and pervasive, society is struggling to keep pace. The emerging tools and standards required to help people understand the authenticity or origins of what they're reading, watching, and listening have yet to be adopted at internet scale — leaving individuals, institutions, and industries without a reliable foundation to determine if content is authentic. 'As falsified media technologies improve, they move faster than traditional forensic tools, leaving industries without reliable ways to spot and fight advanced media manipulations, like deepfakes,' said Shawn Weil, Chief Growth Officer at Aptima. 'DARPA is leading the way to fill this gap by going beyond improving detection capabilities, developing better ways to determine why and how content has been synthesized or manipulated – ultimately enabling trust and security in digital media across different sectors.' Through this effort, Aptima will leverage its role as the test and evaluation lead for DARPA's Semantic Forensics (SemaFor) program to explore commercial pathways that can help bridge the gap between cutting-edge analytics and commercially available products. 'This is a crucial step toward creating a more trustworthy digital ecosystem,' added Weil. 'We're thrilled to be working with DARPA to chart a path forward—one that connects innovation with real-world need.' About Aptima, Inc. Aptima, Inc. is a leader in optimizing human performance through innovative technologies that blend behavioral science, artificial intelligence, and advanced analytics. For 30 years, Aptima has delivered groundbreaking solutions in training, readiness, and human-machine teaming for industries including defense, healthcare, and education.

Fabricated news article frames Duterte's arrest as obstacle to Russia-Ukraine ceasefire
"Friends don't abandon friends," reads part of the caption to screenshots of a purported news article shared on Facebook on March 17, 2025. The screenshots were shared on the verified page of a candidate for May's mid-term elections According to the supposed news report, titled "Putin Refuses Peace Talks Over Duterte's ICC Detention in Ukraine Negotiations", Russian President Vladimir Putin said he "will not sit at a table to discuss peace while a leader who stood with us is shackled by a court that serves Western interests". An image appearing to show Duterte and Putin shaking hands accompanies the purported article, which is followed by a Wikipedia entry for its supposed author. Image Screenshot of the false Facebook post, captured on March 27, 2025 The post circulated after Duterte was arrested and transferred to The Hague to face a crimes against humanity charge stemming from his "war on drugs" that claimed the lives of thousands of mostly poor men, often without proof they were linked to drugs (archived link). Duterte once called Putin "his hero" and made two official visits to Russia during his presidency (archived here and here) Putin also has a standing arrest warrant issued by the ICC in 2023 for crimes related to his country's war against Ukraine (archived link). Similar posts were shared elsewhere on Facebook, and were also translated into Tagalog. "Thank you President Putin for this. We owe you this one. That's why from the start I truly admire you because you have the same goal as Father Digong," read a comment on one of the posts, using a nickname for Duterte. Another comment read: "Thank you president Putin. The Filipino people salute you." 'Fabricated news article' The journalist whose byline appears at the bottom of the purported article "No, I did not write this article nor have I ever written anything similar," she said on March 26. "It appears that the entire thing is AI-generated." A review of the purported article also shows it contains several factual inaccuracies. For example, it claims Putin made his remarks during a press conference in Moscow with Belarussian President Alexander Lukashenko on Saturday, March 15. But Putin's joint press conference with Lukashenko, where a US-Ukraine plan for a 30-day ceasefire was discussed, in fact took place on Thursday, March 13 (archived here and here). Moreover, a check of the joint press conference's official transcript shows there was no mention of Duterte or the ICC proceedings (archived link). The image of Putin and Duterte shaking hands that accompanies the article also appears to be AI-generated and bears the watermark for X's Siwei Lyu, director of the University at Buffalo's Media Forensics Lab in the United States, told AFP there are also other elements in the image that suggest it was created by AI (archived link). "There are visible artifacts around the handshake and noticeable issues with Putin's eyes, which appear unnatural. The thumb also looks distorted, further suggesting signs of digital generation," he said on March 27. Image Screenshot of the image in the fabricated news article, with visual discrepancies highlighted by AFP Duterte's arrest on March 11 has spawned a flood of misinformation, some of which AFP has debunked here.

Yasiin Bey likens music industry to 'Scrooge McDuck'
Yasiin Bey has likened the music industry to "Scrooge McDuck". The rapper formerly known as Mos Def did not hold back in a new interview with The Guardian, declaring the music industry had stripped him of his passion early on in his career. "I was so disillusioned," Yasiin, 51, explained. "You start out with idealism and passion, and then you encounter the kind of conduct and values George Orwell called 'inanities'. And they do this s**t to everybody, it's not even personal, it's systemic." He added he believed the current streaming model to be "gross" and "exploitative" of artists. "That s**t is gross, paying people part of a penny for their music," Yasiin said. "Those motherf**kers are cold-blooded, man, like Scrooge McDuck, lickin' his lips as he jumps into a pool of gold coins... The music industry of now makes the one I started out in seem charitable. It's completely exploitative." With his new project, Forensics, expected to be released in 2025, however, Yasiin expressed hope. "I'm just happy to be alive, to be able to create art and beauty, to the best of my ability," he told the outlet. "Like, to be a human being is a miracle. We're on this spaceship, planet Earth, sharing this experience, and it's crazy. Like, who needs peyote? We're already in outer space, baby."
