I BEG YOU Ana Amari with a injured reader, maybe she sick or dying of a illness idk just make it angst, I saw that talk about wanting more Ana Amari fanfic so idk I feel like letting people suffer and cry.

“ oh Gibraltar were had the time gone?”

This will be pre-fall I would like to say when Overwatch was still in best working order, just right after the omnic crisis

Warning! There may be inaccurate deceive of AML, I have done my best at researching the topic but doesn’t me my accuracy on knowing aml is good because I have never experienced before. Ana may be a little off topic because no matter what, you should always respect the choice of someone body. Death! Is implied and mention. this isn’t a happy ending. Blood! Is mentioned, noise and mouth bleeding Mentions, Oppression and violence. There also mention of symptoms of cancer effects with chemotherapy, chemotherapy is mentioned multiple times. Fainting is mentioned

Thank you for all who reads my stories and showed there support i appreciate it greatly

REQUEST ARE OPEN I WRITE FOR VENTURE TOO SO SEND THEM SOME LOVE.

The warning signs were there but you couldn’t expect it to get this bad? how could anyone know how bad it gotten when it just happened. Being a overwatch agent and putting civilians as your top priority before your own health problems wasn’t uncommon. It comes with you being a soldier and wanting to do what right. Sticking up for the weak even if it comes with your own life. So why must this situation be different.

The First warning sign happen when you were out on a mission to help civilians who may have been lost or trapped under the rubble, it was going according to plan, nothing seem out of the ordinary until the next thing you had known was blood was coming from your nostrils and mouth. Wiping it off on your sleeve painting it with fresh blood made it easy to forget about, it could happen to anyone so why must your situation be different, there still civilians need help, so pick yourself up soldier and help the others, You tell yourself over and over again.

Helping civilians get to safety and back to there family had made you smile, but the comfort of the ship that would be leading you back to your home and the people you call family is just a different feeling. When sitting down in your designated seat, Reinhardt was right infront of you, talking (yelling.) about how well his mission did, talking about the tiny children who he got to flex his arms to. Jack Morrison and Gabriel Reyes carried on their conversation about the on going crisis in the rest of the world, torbjorn talked about his family showing Reinhardt picture of his newly born daughter Brigitte but always the mother hen Ana had taken notice of the blood.

“ habibati, where did such blood come from? Had there been anyone seriously injured? On the catalog I did not seen any reports of very serious injuries?” She mumbles setting her sniper down, the way the sniper aim was up relaxing in the wall of the aircraft, safety was on and the eye of the pistol was up. She leans over to grab the coat of your overwatch outfit and taken a look of the sleeve.

“ I’m fine Ana, I promise, there is nothing to worry about just some blood no need to fuss.” She gave you a serious look Almost crinkling her brows. “ you tell me if anything is wrong. Alright? I want you to be alright.” She looks serious pointing a finger before she lets go from the topic when she felt satisfied.

The Second warning came when in training with Cassidy, you felt you’re whole body zap out of energy, the room was so dizzy and fussy, your brain felt slow and sluggish, you’re arms and legs felt like a ice about to melt into a puddle. Your body gave up and slammed itself to the ground. Waking up in the infirmary with Angela Ziegler talking about your body and health, noticing the way your body seems to be weaker than before. You lost incredible amount of weight which for a normal person would feel happy about it, the weight your body was dropping was to dangerous to not start trying to figure out what was wrong with you.

“ i thought you would’ve told me if something was wrong. The fact you tried hiding it makes me think it might be time i took over your position and put you’re mission on hold until i feel everything is better.” Ana mumbled kissing your forehead as she gently placed her hand on the top of your head.

Angela returned with a chart, writing your vitals and simple questions she have asked you such as, how long have these symptoms been going on, how severe have these conditions been. She clicked her pin shut as she looked up from her notes. “ if you don’t mind I would like to request and recommend we run a few test on you. I’m thinking running a Blood test on you, we will be analyzing it using a microscopic evaluation of the blood, or by using flow cytometry to try and figure. This will all be done if we get your consent so would you mind if we do this?” Angela tilt her head at the last part as she hears the exact words she needs to hear to start preparing for the blood samples.

After gathering the blood sample, she sends you and Ana on your way as she tells you the test results will need 2-3 weeks to be able to fully confirm the diagnosis. Ana made sure throughout the week to make sure that you would rest and not strain your already fragile condition. Every night Ana would lay in bed making sure her arms were around your body and start whispering stuff in Arabic. More symptoms started popping up which caused Ana to get worried even worse than before. Bruising would form out of nowhere not even you could remember how you got those bruises, night sweats became one of the worse causing the lack of sleep, hot flashes and the urge to not eat anything were evidence that something definitely wasn’t right.

“ Oh, how I know it hurts habibati, let’s try and get some rest.” She would mumbles as she made sure the bed only have loose sheets. The way you could barely hold down anything or even get out of bed made her concerns grow even worse. Sometimes you would wake up with her right besides you and other times you were alone in bed. Days and nights started to blur in your memory as you laid in bed, not being able to fully move or walk without assistance.

“ we have gotten the test results back and it might be best. If you sit down ana this is difficult for both of you.” Angela pulled up a chair and sat down in a chair crossing her legs as she looks over at Ana then comes back to you. “ after throughly examining the changes in you’re body we have confirm the diagnosis of you have a form of leukemia that is very hard to treat. It is called Acute myelogenous leukemia. It a common aggressive form of leukemia that affects your bone marrow and blood.”

The face of exhaustion from you and the horror of Ana Face was like no other, how long had it been since you see Ana so hopeless..? This isn’t what you wanted to see.

“ There is good news and bad news, we may be able to start treatment to help fight off the leukemia but with the illness being around the bone marrow most medicines may not be able to reach the place the leukemia is resting, it may be long and hard but you have some chance of survival if you would like to start that I can get it prepared.”

“ What are the chances of me surviving..? I don’t want to live my life in fear that this illness will come back, I don’t want the exhaustion and agonizing treatments, I don’t want to be stuck in a hospital wasting away the only time I get pure entertainment is if someone come visit me. Please Ana, i’m scared and I don’t want to leave you alone but I don’t want to deal with this heartache.” She clutched her wife hand as she leans over weakly giving a kiss to her wife forehead as she comes to rest her sweaty face on that of her wife.

“ I have seen a lot of people survive AML and I also scene some who not, a man in December survive the AML with a few rounds of chemo and some rehabilitation and now he living his life with a wife and few kids. I’ve also scene some people not wish to fight this agonizing battle. So why I might not suggest not taking treatments I will accept whatever you would like us to do.”

Angela Zeigler nodded her head towards you before looking at Ana, Ana somberly looked at the hands which were neatly folded in her. The struggle to make the choice or even express agreement or disagreement weigh ever on her shoulders. “ if you would not like to start chemo and pass away in your home with me and our family by your side I will respect your wishes. I’m so sorry you were even given these choices.” Ana closed her eyes and cried in her hands chocking out her answers as she leans to rest her head on your shoulder.

“ don’t cry Ana, this battle has been long and hard, I was given a purpose on earth and that was to protect the people around me, I made my choice and now I may be rest in the peace of the afterlife knowing I have saved lives. You have to be strong for Pharah and Overwatch.”

The weakly smiles that adores both you and Ana face made it way to accept the idea more easily. The decision to not go and do chemo was not selfish in the eyes of Ana, she knew of the effects of chemo, Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, Hair loss, Skin dryness and rashes the effects almost seem limitless.

“ so if I’m to confirm You ( state your name.) are refusing to take chemotherapy, which may have help you live a few years longer. You understand the negative side effects that may come with this. You may also always come back to wanting to do chemotherapy but the more you wait the more will not be likely to have the cancer be eradicated.”

Ana looked over and nodded at you, “ I will accept whatever you say or think. Please speak what you need to.” Ana looked into your eyes. “ I accept to refusing treatment for chemotherapy and know the harms and risk that may come and the outcome.” The weakly sound of coughing finishing off the statement.

“ alright, I will notify strike commander to take you off of all mission briefs and when you are ready please notify whoever you would like about what the future is going forward.” Mercy nodded politely leaving you and Ana alone in the room. Ana looked over at you, brushing your cheekbone as the weak sound of raspy breath came in and out. “ Thank you for letting me have a choice, I wouldn’t do this if I wasn’t sure the outcome would be the same.”

Ana nodded to your words helping you settle in bed. She weakly clutches the clothing near her heart as she looks at you. She tried to take a deep breath as to not let the tears follow but it getting harder looking at your weak state. She started walking towards the door to give you room only to be stopped by the croak of a voice. “ Ana…” Ana turned around and looked at you walking over and kneeling down near your bed side.

“ I love you and Pharah so much.” You mumbles as Ana whisper some words of praise before getting up and leaving the room. Days become even more of a blur as your visited by most of Overwatch agents besides a few. Even Moira O’Deorain made her presence known as she commands great respect and recognition for how you saved lives and great combat skills.

The day came, one year and a day after you first got the symptoms of something wrong that you passed peacefully by your besides, laying beside you was Ana who was on your left. Pharah who birthday just came a few weeks ago making her 10 and one of your best friends who also supported you think through thin, Reinhardt. A day that would’ve been sad wasn’t sad, they knew you would of beat there ass if you found out they weren’t lighting up the party with some shots as you’re lowered into your casket. Your funeral which played one of your favorite songs, “Dreaming of you” by Selena Quintanilla was a mother and daughter dance for ana and pharah.

You were given a gravesite with the soldiers who had fallen in the war adored with flowers and so much love and care from military units all across the world. Some left Quarters, some left penny, dimes and nickels. You were known around the world and a statue as a memorial in your home town was placed to honor the dedication you had to fighting for what right and standing up for communities who may have been oppressed.

As time gone on and the state of Overwatch went into shambles Winston recalled woke up a different side in Overwatch agents, instead of doing stuff how Jack Morrison would do, the Overwatch hero’s knew who to look up to in the end.

Pharah looking up into the sky hoping that maybe she would see you there looking down and protecting her.

Intern allegedly sabotages ByteDance AI project, leading to dismissal

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/intern-allegedly-sabotages-bytedance-ai-project-leading-to-dismissal/

Intern allegedly sabotages ByteDance AI project, leading to dismissal

.pp-multiple-authors-boxes-wrapper display:none; img width:100%;

ByteDance, the creator of TikTok, recently experienced a security breach involving an intern who allegedly sabotaged AI model training. The incident, reported on WeChat, raised concerns about the company’s security protocols in its AI department.

In response, ByteDance clarified that while the intern disrupted AI commercialisation efforts, no online operations or commercial projects were affected. According to the company, rumours that over 8,000 GPU cards were affected and that the breach resulted in millions of dollars in losses are taken out of proportion.

The real issue here goes beyond one rogue intern—it highlights the need for stricter security measures in tech companies, especially when interns are entrusted with key responsibilities. Even minor mistakes in high-pressure environments can have serious consequences.

On investigating, ByteDance found that the intern, a doctoral student, was part of the commercialisation tech team, not the AI Lab. The individual was dismissed in August.

According to the local media outlet Jiemian, the intern became frustrated with resource allocation and retaliated by exploiting a vulnerability in the AI development platform Hugging Face. This led to disruptions in model training, though ByteDance’s commercial Doubao model was not affected.

Despite the disruption, ByteDance’s automated machine learning (AML) team initially struggled to identify the cause. Fortunately, the attack only impacted internal models, minimising broader damage.

As context, China’s AI market, estimated to be worth $250 billion in 2023, is rapidly increasing in size, with industry leaders such as Baidu AI Cloud, SenseRobot, and Zhipu AI driving innovation. However, incidents like this one pose a huge risk to the commercialisation of AI technology, as model accuracy and reliability are directly related to business success.

The situation also raises questions about intern management in tech companies. Interns often play crucial roles in fast-paced environments, but without proper oversight and security protocols, their roles can pose risks. Companies must ensure that interns receive adequate training and supervision to prevent unintentional or malicious actions that could disrupt operations.

Implications for AI commercialisation

The security breach highlights the possible risks to AI commercialisation. A disruption in AI model training, such as this one, can cause delays in product releases, loss of client trust, and even financial losses. For a company like ByteDance, where AI drives core functionalities, these kinds of incidents are particularly damaging.

The issue emphasises the importance of ethical AI development and business responsibility. Companies must not only develop cutting-edge AI technology, but also ensure their security and operate responsible management. Transparency and accountability are critical for retaining trust in an era when AI plays an important role in business operations.

Understanding the MSB (Money Services Business) License in USA

The Money Services Business (MSB) License is a crucial regulatory requirement for companies operating in the financial services sector in the United States. It is issued by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), a bureau of the U.S. Department of the Treasury, and is intended to regulate businesses that handle money transmission, currency exchange, and other financial services. This article explores the significance of the MSB License, who needs it, and the process for obtaining one in the USA.

What is an MSB License?

An MSB License is a certification required for businesses that provide certain types of financial services. These include:

Money Transmission: Transferring funds from one person or location to another, which can include international remittances.

Currency Exchange: Buying and selling foreign currencies.

Check Cashing: Cashing checks for individuals or businesses for a fee.

Issuing or Redeeming Money Orders and Traveler’s Checks: Companies involved in these activities must be licensed.

Prepaid Access: Managing or issuing prepaid cards or other types of prepaid access.

The primary goal of MSB regulations is to prevent financial crimes such as money laundering and terrorist financing by ensuring businesses are compliant with federal and state requirements.

Who Needs an MSB License?

Any business involved in the above activities, either as a primary service or as a part of its broader financial services, must obtain an MSB License. This applies to:

Currency Exchange Companies

Money Transfer Operators

Check Cashing Services

Cryptocurrency Exchanges and Wallet Providers

Businesses Offering Prepaid Cards

Not obtaining the necessary MSB registration can result in penalties and even criminal charges, as financial service providers are obligated to comply with anti-money laundering (AML) and know-your-customer (KYC) regulations.

MSB Licensing Requirements in the USA

Obtaining an MSB License in the USA involves several steps:

Register with FinCEN: All MSBs must register with FinCEN within 180 days of starting operations. The registration must be renewed every two years.

State-Level Licensing: Some states may have additional requirements. For example, money transmitters may need a state-specific license in addition to the federal MSB registration.

AML Program Implementation: Develop and maintain an anti-money laundering compliance program that includes policies, procedures, and controls to detect and report suspicious activity.

Employee Training: Regular training programs for employees on AML compliance requirements.

Independent Review: Periodic independent reviews to ensure the effectiveness of the AML program.

The Role of the MSB License in Financial Compliance

The MSB License ensures that financial services companies operate legally and transparently. By complying with AML regulations and monitoring financial transactions, licensed MSBs contribute to preventing financial crimes. The FinCEN registration also helps in the proper identification of legitimate businesses, ensuring that the financial sector remains robust and secure.

Challenges Faced by MSBs in the USA

While an MSB License provides legitimacy, the licensing process can be complex. Here are some common challenges:

Navigating State Regulations: Different states have unique licensing requirements, making compliance a multi-step process.

AML Compliance Requirements: Developing an AML program can be resource-intensive, requiring ongoing staff training and system updates.

Costly Application Fees: State licensing fees and other associated costs can be significant.

How SBA Tax Consultants Can Help

Navigating the complexities of MSB licensing can be overwhelming. SBA Tax Consultants specializes in helping businesses understand and comply with federal and state-level requirements, ensuring that companies can secure and maintain their MSB License in the USA. With expertise in FinCEN registration and state-specific licensing processes, SBA Tax Consultants offers tailored services to meet your compliance needs.
