Fox News reported, following the hearing on global security -
Mike Waltz claims he did not mistakenly add Jeffrey Goldberg to the group - which prompts the question - How long have the Signal app and other communication platforms used by the U.S. Government been compromised?
We have a domestic terrorist problem in this country right now, but the Signal app leak is the most important 'shocker' in the media - as Tesla dealerships burn and SWATTING continues and civilian customers who own Teslas are being attacked.
The anti-American groups funding anti-American sentiment in the U.S. have technological capability better than our own government.
AI’s Eavesdropping Evolution: Training on the User
As journalists like Goldberg navigate these fault lines, a parallel technological shift is reshaping their craft: the rise of AI. Artificial intelligence doesn’t just assist reporting—it often relies on a form of digital eavesdropping to function and grow. AI systems, particularly large language models (LLMs) like those powering tools such as ChatGPT or my own framework, learn by ingesting vast datasets of human communication—emails, social media posts, transcripts, and more. This process, while not real-time interception, mirrors eavesdropping in its essence: silently absorbing what users say to refine its capabilities.
Every interaction with an AI tool—every prompt, every query—becomes an 'asset' for its training, a process akin to perpetual eavesdropping. AI companies harvest user data to improve models, a practice legal under loose privacy laws but unsettling to some. “AI doesn’t just listen—it learns your patterns, your biases, your secrets,” says Dr. Emily Chen, a data ethics professor at MIT. “It’s a silent partner in every conversation, and we’re only beginning to grapple with that.”
The U.S.’s AI edge isn’t just about journalism—it’s a national security imperative. The Department of Defense has poured billions into AI since 2020, aiming to counter China’s advances in cyberwarfare and surveillance. Projects like DARPA’s “AI Next” initiative seek to develop systems that can anticipate threats by analyzing global data streams, a task requiring what some call “strategic eavesdropping.” Meanwhile, the Intelligence Community’s adoption of AI, detailed in a 2025 Foreign Affairs piece, promises faster analysis of intercepted signals—ironic given the Signal app’s role in Goldberg’s scoop.
