I watched Tenet last night; it's an OK Time travelish film crossed with a spy thing.
A slight twist (which gives an opportunity for some fun special effects) With the normal mix of time confusion etc.
BBC iPlayer has it free for the next 13 days in the UK (which is how I watched it) - I'd been watching out for it since it got released during Covid and I wasn't going to go to a cinema for it.

Tenet
A hardened CIA agent is recruited into a mind-bending mystery with cause and effect ‘inverted’, so weapons can strike from the future. His suspect is a ruthless Russian oligarch.

Wait, do we really think Marmalade Mussolini and his merry band of incompetent chuckleheads would do this?!
Yes, yes we do. Totally plausible.
"Interior minister Diosdado Cabello said that a cell ‘financed by the CIA’ planned to attack the USS Gravely and pin the blame on Caracas [Venezuela], after the missile destroyer docked in Trinidad and Tobago on Sunday to conduct joint exercises with Trinidad's navy."

Venezuela claims to have captured ‘CIA backed cell plotting false flag attack’ as tensions with US grow
Venezuela believes Trump is trying to put pressure on President Maduro in order to displace him from power

"King" Trump has signed what’s called a “presidential finding,”
or a classified directive authorizing covert action, against the regime of Venezuelan ruler Nicolšs Maduro.
This would allow the CIA to conduct “lethal operations in Venezuela”
as well as “a range of operations in the Caribbean,” according to the Times.
Covert action could be taken “either unilaterally or in conjunction with a larger military operation.”

What do you think? Did Venezuela just “thwart” a false flag?
“Venezuela says it has thwarted what it calls a CIA-linked plot to attack a US warship anchored in Trinidad.
It claims the US would have blamed Venezuela for the attack on the USS Gravely, a guided-missile destroyer, to justify aggression against it.”

The move caused consternation because it resulted in the White House not having an opportunity to closely vet the list before it became public and there appeared to be no paper tr…

Not to downplay the seriousness of the many crimes of the CIA, however the bulk of their work is in gathering and analyzing information, rather than in the covert action side. And for all their well-known *failures* in the pure intelligence side, they mostly do it well.
Everything has a caveat. The existence of black and white is an evil myth.

The most effective way to destroy an organization is to make it more bureaucratic. In 1944, the Office of Strategic Services, the precursor to the CIA, was aware of this. What they didn't know was that their blueprint for sabotaging Nazi operations would become the operating manual for modern corporations.

Invitation Is All You Need! Promptware Attacks Against LLM-Powered Assistants in Production Are Practical and Dangerous
The growing integration of LLMs into applications has introduced new security risks, notably known as Promptware - maliciously engineered prompts designed to manipulate LLMs to compromise the CIA triad of these applications. While prior research warned about a potential shift in the threat landscape for LLM-powered applications, the risk posed by Promptware is frequently perceived as low. In this paper, we investigate the risk Promptware poses to users of Gemini-powered assistants (web applicat…
