Someone Is Calling Trump Officials Using an AI Clone of Marco Rubio’s Voice

gizmodo.com Aj Dellinger 2026-02-04 10:35:25

Government employees keep getting calls from Secretary of State Marco Rubio—which would be bad enough, frankly, having to talk to that guy. But making matters worse, it seems that it’s not actually Marco Rubio but instead, an unidentified caller who is mimicking his voice with artificial intelligence software, according to a report from the Washington Post. The technologically advanced crank caller has reportedly contacted at least three foreign ministers, a governor, and a member of Congress,

Meet the America Party, Elon Musk’s Harebrained Third-Party Scheme

wired.com Jake Lahut 2026-02-04 14:17:19

Elon Musk soft-launched a third party over the weekend, and so far, the billionaire seems to be manifesting his “America Party” into existence. Hard-launching the party, which he first posted about through a poll on X, would involve filing official paperwork, such as Federal Election Commission forms, and signing up to petition in individual states. Musk has not done those things yet. What Musk has done, however, is open the door for what could be the most well-funded attempt ever at launching

In a perfect example of why it's an absolutely terrible idea for high-level government officials to use personal cell phones, text messaging platforms, and apps like Signal, secretary of state Marco Rubio has fallen victim to a scammer who's been using AI to clone his voice and writing style.

Robinhood CEO downplays OpenAI concerns on tokenized stock structure

Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev says it's not "entirely relevant" that the trading platform's so-called tokenized shares of OpenAI and SpaceX aren't technically equity in the companies. It comes after OpenAI raised concerns about the product, which is designed to give users in the European Union exposure to various U.S. stocks — including private companies, which are less liquid than publicly listed firms.
