i think everyone studying AI should be required to watch "Colossus: The Forbin Project". the whole plot is perfectly plausible today and could help with company discussions. #sjsu https://www.cnn.com/2026/09/09/tech/ai-anthropic-safety

Acusan a estudiante en California por amenazas de atentados contra mexicanos y otros grupos

El Departamento de Justicia de Estados Unidos acusó a un estudiante de la Universidad Estatal de San José por amenazas de atentados y mensajes de odio contra mexicanos y otros grupos.

Por Gabriela Díaz | Reportera                                           

El Departamento de Justicia de Estados Unidos (DOJ) anunció el arresto de Ziheng «Tony» Fang, estudiante de posgrado de la Universidad Estatal de San José (SJSU), acusado de proporcionar información falsa y realizar amenazas relacionadas con presuntos atentados masivos en el campus universitario, además de difundir mensajes de odio dirigidos contra mexicanos, judíos, musulmanes y ciudadanos chinos.

De acuerdo con una denuncia penal presentada el 9 de julio ante un tribunal federal del Distrito Norte de California, Fang, de 30 años, compareció por primera vez el 10 de julio tras ser detenido por autoridades federales.

La investigación señala que el acusado habría colocado mensajes con amenazas de ataques masivos en baños del campus universitario, generando preocupación entre estudiantes, docentes y personal administrativo.

Mensajes incluían amenazas contra mexicanos

Según el expediente judicial, uno de los mensajes fue descubierto el 5 de noviembre de 2025 en un baño para hombres de la universidad.

El texto advertía sobre una supuesta bomba y contenía símbolos nazis, entre ellos varias esvásticas.

En otro mensaje localizado en el mismo sitio se leía: «Maten a todos los judíos, musulmanes, chinos y mexicanos» y hacía referencia a presuntos atentados programados para los días 11 y 12 de noviembre.

Las autoridades indicaron que las huellas dactilares de Fang fueron encontradas en uno de los documentos colocados en la pared.

Investigación relaciona al acusado con más de 20 amenazas

La denuncia sostiene que desde octubre de 2024 la policía de la universidad documentó más de 20 incidentes relacionados con mensajes de odio y amenazas escritos en baños masculinos y de género neutro del campus.

En varios casos se advertía sobre ataques con bombas, armas de fuego o cuchillos e incluso se señalaban fechas específicas para su ejecución.

La investigación del Buró Federal de Investigaciones (FBI) concluyó que Fang ingresó a edificios donde posteriormente aparecieron amenazas en 16 de los 18 casos que requerían acceso mediante tarjeta electrónica.

Además, grabaciones de videovigilancia lo ubican entrando y saliendo de los baños donde aparecieron algunos de los mensajes poco antes de que fueran descubiertos.

Amenazas alteraron las actividades universitarias

Las autoridades señalaron que la Oficina del Presidente de la Universidad Estatal de San José emitió diversas alertas por correo electrónico y mensajes de texto para advertir a la comunidad universitaria sobre las amenazas.

Como consecuencia, algunos profesores suspendieron clases presenciales o trasladaron sus actividades al formato virtual, mientras que estudiantes y trabajadores manifestaron temor por acudir al campus.

La denuncia también señala que, durante las fechas mencionadas en los mensajes, varios edificios permanecieron prácticamente vacíos debido a la preocupación generada por las amenazas.

FBI y Departamento de Justicia mantienen el proceso

El caso fue anunciado por el fiscal federal del Distrito Norte de California, Craig H. Missakian; la fiscal adjunta de la División de Derechos Civiles del Departamento de Justicia, Harmeet K. Dhillon; y el agente especial a cargo de la oficina del FBI en San Francisco, Scott Schelble.

Actualmente, Fang permanece bajo custodia federal y su próxima audiencia está programada para el 13 de julio, cuando se llevará a cabo la designación formal de su defensa legal.

El Departamento de Justicia recordó que una denuncia penal constituye únicamente una acusación formal y que toda persona imputada se presume inocente hasta que un tribunal determine su responsabilidad mediante una sentencia. –sn–

#SJSU forced to rehire a tenured professor they fired for supporting the #Palestinian cause. “What happened to me was part of a broader effort to silence pro-Palestinian solidarity in academia,” said Dr. Sang Hea Kil “While I am relieved to return to my students and the #classroom, the reality is that no educator should have to risk their career to defend basic #HumanRights.”

Both the University of California and California State University systems have received widespread criticism for handing over the names and personal information of thousands of students and faculty to the #Drumpf administration for vocally supporting #Palestine.

a great talk about project setup and management! it's slanted towards C++ and libraries, but the recommendations are very generalizable to all kinds of projects.

https://copy.fail is a pretty cool exploit. (it's sad that it happened, but it shows some interesting connections between various parts of linux --- page cache, kernel security code, pipes.) it's super ironic that it's the security code in the kernel that is being exploited. here is a version of the script that is formatted more nicely: https://gist.github.com/breed/385e354c215569573c49800d99681c34 #sjsu

A #SJSU law school would be fantastic, California is effectively a victim of its own success that all the UC law schools are very good and therefore super competitive and expensive. A lower tier public law school would be pretty exciting.

"#SJSU #MossLanding Marine Laboratories has conducted testing for heavy metals", full statement via Keith McHenry, SCFNB, on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10162039681938820&id=691903819

#SJSU #MossLanding Marine Laboratories has conducted testing for heavy metals:

"...unusually high concentrations of heavy-metal #nanoparticles... at Elkhorn Slough... following the recent fire at the nearby #Vistra Power Plant's li-ion battery storage facility... within a radius of approximately 2 miles... measured a dramatic increase (hundreds to thousand-fold) of the three heavy metals Nickel, Manganese and Cobalt."

Journalist Frankie de la Cretaz on #Skermetti, the #SJSU women's volleyball team, and #transgender athletes:

"One of the ways the anti-trans sports push has been so effective has been by framing “fairness” around what is perceived to be fair to cis athletes, rather than by what is fair for the most marginalized athletes in the room: trans women and girls."

An essential reframing that puts #trans folks as people first, and only then as people who want to play sports.

Some really excellent critiques of #journalism, particularly comparing the #NYTimes and #ESPN in their coverage of the furor around a San Jose State volleyball player (who may or may not be trans, but who is definitely a woman).

As #SJSU nears the #tournament, a new #report says #political #pressure caused #Wyoming's #forfeit, despite a split #player vote.

“We have #played against this #athlete for two #seasons, and our #studentathletes felt #safe,” #Wyoming #AthleticDirector #TomBurman wrote via #email. “Our #studentathletes do not support #forfeiting two #matches.”

"A San José State University professor serving as a liaison for students demonstrating against the Israel-Hamas war was placed on a 60-day administrative leave amid an investigation into misconduct, according to a suspension letter.

"'I believe that my temporary suspension is part of an academic freedom suppression campaign against me,” she said. 'I have been an outspoken critic of the genocide in Gaza as well as an advocate for faculty rights as a California Faculty Assn. union member and leader.'"
