Trump claims 'hundreds of billions' in stock gains for U.S. in AI image posting spree

President Trump spent over 10 hours on Truth Social posting dozens of AI-generated images, including one showing him monitoring markets with a caption claiming he personally made 'Hundreds of Billions of Dollars on Stocks' and other holdings for the country. No evidence was provided for the claim, which came amid other unrelated AI images depicting scenes like Iran's defeat and Trump on horseback with George Washington.

Microsoft Paint and Photos embed hidden server-issued ID in AI images, even offline ones

Reverse engineering of Windows Paint and Photos apps found that both send user prompts to a Microsoft server for moderation even when image generation runs locally via onboard AI models. That server returns a GUID alongside the approved prompt, and this GUID gets invisibly embedded into the pixels of the generated image, separate from the visible watermark toggle users can control. This applies even on Copilot+ PCs where generation happens entirely on-device.
