FACT SHEET: DHS Completes First Phase of AI Technology Pilots, Hires New AI Corps Members, Furthers Efforts for Safe and Secure AI Use and Development

The Department Continues to Lead in the Integration of AI for its Missions While Combatting its Adversarial Use One Year After President Biden’s Landmark Executive OrderWASHINGTON – In the year since President Biden issued his landmark Executive Order (EO) 14110, “Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy Development and Use of Artificial Intelligence,” the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has taken bold action to responsibly leverage Artificial Intelligence (AI) to advance the homeland security mission. As directed by the President, DHS has deepened its commitment to protecting individuals’ privacy, civil rights, and civil liberties; promoting national AI safety and security; and strengthening AI leadership through innovation and strong partnerships. As AI technology rapidly reshapes our world, DHS will continue to advance international cooperation in an effort to enhance global awareness and response to the threats as well as our ability to harness its potential.To learn more about DHS’s work in AI, visit the Artificial Intelligence at DHS webpage.Successfully Tested the Effectiveness of 3 AI Pilot Programs, While Protecting Civil Rights, Privacy, and Civil LibertiesIn March 2024, DHS became the first federal agency to roll out a comprehensive “AI Roadmap” to integrate the technology into a variety of uses. The AI Roadmap announced three Generative AI (GenAI) pilots to test the effectiveness of GenAI solutions and their potential to enhance mission specific capabilities in a safe, responsible, and effective way. These pilot programs were housed in the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).By October 2024, DHS has successfully tested these pilot programs, while protecting civil rights, privacy, and civil liberties. The Department gained valuable insights into the real-life impact of GenAI tools as well as their limitations. Learnings from these pilots will help guide the development and deployment of other AI tools throughout the Department.USCIS: Improving Training Capacity and Experience – The USCIS pilot introduced a training application that allowed immigration officers to interact with the GenAI tool to practice conducting an interview with a refugee/asylum seeker. The USCIS pilot successfully supplemented officers’ training by giving them opportunities to practice eliciting testimony. Officers gave positive reviews for the program’s ease-of-use and the ability to access it on their own schedule. Based on the success of the pilot, USCIS and DHS are looking at how GenAI can be used in other training scenarios as a supplemental tool to better prepare the next generation of DHS officers. The USCIS pilot is only used in officer training and is not used for immigration eligibility determinations. HSI: Strengthening Investigative Processes – HSI’s pilot focused on utilizing large language models (LLMs) to produce summaries of HSI-approved law enforcement reports to bolster investigative processes and optimize the efficiency and precision of investigative summaries. It also enabled semantic search, a search engine technology that interprets the meaning of words and phrases to enable law enforcement officers to search through millions of reports easily. The pilot showed that these were valuable tools to enhance investigative processes. The HSI pilot, which was developed using an open-source AI model, found that open-source models provided the flexibility necessary to experiment and measure effectiveness. HSI professionals continue to test and optimize the use of open-source models in supporting law enforcement investigations. FEMA: Increasing Community Resilience – Communities can help build their resilience to emergencies by developing hazard mitigation plans, but these plans can be challenging and time consuming to produce, particularly for communities that lack sufficient resources. FEMA’s pilot used a LLM to help state and local governments generate draft plans customized to meet their needs and understand risks and mitigation strategies. FEMA learned that increasing user understanding of AI and receiving feedback directly from community users is an important first step to integrating GenAI into any existing process. FEMA is using lessons learned from the pilot to help determine how the technology can best support their mission.Hired 31 New Experts to the “AI Corps” Who are Helping Responsibly Leverage AI Across DHS Mission AreasAs part of the Department’s “AI Corps” hiring sprint, DHS has onboarded 31 technology experts since February 15. This effort remains one of the most significant AI-talent recruitment initiatives of any federal civilian agency. To date, these experts have provided critical technical support and conducted extensive evaluations across multiple priority projects, significantly advancing the understanding and application of AI technologies within DHS.The AI Corps partnered with the DHS Supply Chain Resilience Center (SCRC) to investigate how AI could be used to forecast the impacts of critical supply chain disruptions to public safety and security. This sprint included requirements development, use case mapping, market research, and system demonstrations. The AI Corps was able to guide the SCRC on the path to evaluate the technical landscape and provide recommendations to support mission needs. Members from the AI Corps supported the HSI GenAI pilot in creating a first-of-its-kind LLM-powered tool to search and produce summaries of HSI approved law enforcement reports and information that is obtained through the standard legal process. The team provided technical expertise to incorporate the latest approaches in advanced AI search and generative summaries. This preliminary work was crucial in demonstrating the potential of the technology.Collaborated with the AI Board to Provide Guidance on Safe and Secure Development and Deployment of AI Technology in U.S. Critical InfrastructureAt the request of the President, Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro N. Mayorkas established the Artificial Intelligence Safety and Security Board (the Board) to advise the Secretary, the critical infrastructure community, other private sector stakeholders, and the broader public on the safe and secure development and deployment of AI technology in our nation’s critical infrastructure. Officially launched in April, the Board announced a membership of 23 representatives from a range of sectors, including software and hardware companies, critical infrastructure operators, public officials, the civil rights community, and academia.Secretary Mayorkas convened the Board three times since May 2024. The Department with the Board’s close consultation have been developing guidance to improve AI safety and security across the AI ecosystem. The deployment of safe, secure, and trustworthy AI generates consumer trust and fuels adoption and innovation. AI can substantially improve the services the nation’s critical infrastructure provides if we secure systems against safety and security threats.Defended against AI-enabled Cyber threats to U.S. Critical InfrastructureTo protect U.S. networks and critical infrastructure, DHS is adapting and incorporating the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s (NIST) AI Risk Management Framework and other appropriate guidance into actionable guidelines for use by critical infrastructure owners and operators. DHS and the Cyber and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) published “Safety and Security Guidelines for Critical Infrastructure Owners and Operators” in April 2024 to address cross-sector AI risks that impact the safety and security of critical infrastructure systems and their functions. DHS and CISA developed these guidelines in coordination with the Department of Commerce, the Sector Risk Management Agencies (SRMAs), and other critical infrastructure sector regulators, and have continued to develop and publish additional best practices at the intersection of AI and cyber defense. To aid in the detection and remediation of vulnerabilities in critical U.S. Government software, systems, and networks, CISA also completed a pilot for AI-enabled vulnerability detection and provided a report on the pilot to the White House in July 2024.Provided Technical Expertise to Counter Threats from Adversarial AIp Under the EO, the DHS Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction Office (CWMD), in partnership with the DHS Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) is working to counter chemical, biological, nuclear, and radiological (CBRN) threats enabled by AI systems. DHS delivered a report to the President that examines and provides recommendations on how to better understand and mitigate the risk of AI being misused to assist in the development or use of CBRN. This report, released to the public in June, identifies the trends in AI and types of AI models, including foundation models and Biological Design Tools, that might present or intensify biological and chemical threats to the United States. It offers recommendations to mitigate potential threats to national security in the training, deployment, publication, and use of AI models and associated data. as well as underscoring the vital role of safety evaluations and whole-of-community guardrails.CWMD also developed a strategy to evaluate and improve the effectiveness of synthetic nucleic acid synthesis screening, helping to prevent the misuse of AI for engineering dangerous biological materials. Working closely with the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, DHS will help advance safety in this important industry. CWMD and S&T will also support the Department of Commerce’s AI Safety Institute in evaluating CBRN risks from AI systems, ensuring DHS’s unique expertise in these areas are a part of AI Safety Institute’s effort to promote AI safety.– In accordance with the DHS’ Compliance Plan for OMB Memorandum M-24-10, the Department will continue its work to advance AI governance and innovation while managing risks from the use of AI in the Federal Government, particularly those affecting the rights and safety of the public.

How Data Collection is Important for Modern Small Business to Stay Ahead in a Competitive Market

Data is one of the most valuable assets of modern small business, particularly for those looking to expand and achieve success. For the small business, knowledge is power. By using the right information, businesses may obtain a better understanding of customer behavior, track market trends, and discover how their competitors compete.

As a result, the insights provided by data assist businesses in making decisions that have a direct influence on growth and customer engagement. One of the most neglected techniques for assisting with this process is the use of inexpensive resources such as cheap proxies.

These tools enable businesses to stay anonymous while gathering essential information and setting themselves apart. Small businesses can benefit significantly from merging data collection approaches with tools like proxies. This allows business owners to keep an eye on their competitors.

Analyzing Competitors’ Behavior to Stay Ahead

Any small business needs to comprehend the conduct of competitors to outpace them and win a share of the market.

Data-collecting techniques for businesses can gather information about competitors’ pricing strategies, marketing strategies, and product positioning by using web scraping and competitor tracking techniques.

Businesses can use proxies to visit competitor websites, monitor changes, and collect data from competitor sites anonymously, without regard to geography or IP address. In that instance, for example, small businesses can keep track of what their competitors charge to ensure they always offer competitive pricing.

Finally, they can watch campaigns for marketing and product launches and adjust their strategies accordingly. Analyzing competitor behavior can help small businesses stay ahead of the competition and respond quickly.

It is essential to collect data ethically and effectively while minimizing legal risk. The competitive edge is always gained by utilizing publicly available data on competitors. Small businesses have access to this data and can continue to improve their offers.

Using Market Trends to Form Business Strategies

Keeping up with market trends is another important factor for small businesses. Consumer tastes and industry trends are constantly changing, so businesses need to keep up with the latest trends.

Data collection offers small businesses with insight into emerging trends and an ability to respond as needed.

Businesses can use data from a variety of sources, such as industry reports, customer feedback, and online behavior tracking, to find clues and patterns that indicate a shift in the market.

Proxies are used to help organizations gain access to localized search results or websites in specific zones, providing a broader and more thorough perspective of market dynamics.

Data collection can help businesses build strategies that meet the needs of market consumers by detecting emerging trends in consumer behavior or obtaining advanced economic intelligence.

Enhancing Customer Engagement with Behavioral Insights

Small businesses can benefit from understanding customer behavior. Businesses can tailor their product or service offerings by analyzing how customers engage with the products.

According to data collection techniques such as website analytics, consumer surveys, and feedback loops, this behavior is essential to understand. Businesses may utilize these insights to make better, data-driven decisions about enhancing consumer engagement.

For example, answering the most frequently asked questions or identifying the most prevalent pain points can improve customer service, while obtaining purchasing behavior data helps boost marketing strategies.

Behavioral insights have more applications than just sales. It enables businesses to offer custom promotions, personalize marketing campaigns, and cultivate long-term customer loyalty.

Increasing Data Collection Using Cheap Proxies

Cheap proxies are a surefire way for small businesses to obtain data on a budget. That is the premise of proxies between the user and the target website, which allow users to hide their IP address while retrieving data from the business.

This is notably handy for scraping restricted content from competitors’ sites or regions, as well as pulling big amounts of data from several sources. Proxies allow businesses to obtain sensitive data or track competitors while remaining anonymous.

Businesses can use a cheap proxy to get around geographic restrictions that would otherwise prevent them from accessing vital information. This level of access can mean the difference between keeping in the dark and knowing who you’re competing against.

In addition, by providing access from multiple locations and providing a look at a regional level that a business cannot obtain from regular browsing, proxies enable businesses to collect accurate data.

Navigating Business Growth with Data-Driven Insights

A small business relies on data far more than a large one. Techniques for extracting data from businesses can offer companies extremely important information about competitors, market shifts, and customer behavior, which can be utilized to refine strategy and make sound decisions.

In this process, cheap proxies are helpful; They enable a company to quickly and anonymously collect data. As a result, the business maintains its lead in a competitive market. Small businesses can respond to current challenges and expect the future with the assistance of a well-structured data collection process, ensuring a brighter and more successful future.

Article content
The Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC) and Equifax Canada have partnered to launch the innovative Canadian Small Business Health Index. The index was created to assess the financial wellbeing of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Canada.
The Health Index combines real world data from BDC’s Investment and Financing Outlook Survey (IFOS), anonymized credit bureau data from Equifax, and macroeconomic data from Statistics Canada and the Bank of Canada.

Article content
“Our innovative idea was that if we could combine the BDC and Equifax data, we could create a definitive measure of the business landscape in Canada,” said Sue Hutchison, chief executive of Equifax. “We have about 1.2 million small businesses in Canada, and they employ about 11 million people and represent over 50 per cent of our GDP. We’d heard from some of our lenders and other stakeholders that there was a gap in terms of available information on this segment.”

Article content
Unlike other confidence indexes, which measure the business owners’ optimism about the economy and sales expectations, the Health Index combines business sentiments with real financial data, including statistics on bankruptcies and credit card spending by small businesses.
According to Pierre Cléroux, vice-president of research and chief economist at BDC, the Health Index uses 20 variables, as opposed to the one or two typically employed by other confidence indices, and will be updated quarterly to ensure it keeps up with the evolving economic landscape.
Cléroux says the wealth of data will allow stakeholders to not only follow the current situation of SMEs, but also better understand the reasons behind it.

Article content
“For example, right now, we are seeing that the level of confidence is increasing (among business owners), but their sales growth expectation is not,” said Cléroux. “So that means that, despite the fact interest rates are going down and people are more confident about the economy, they haven’t seen the real impact on their business yet.”
After its launch, Hutchison and Cléroux expect the index will evolve and improve based on feedback from stakeholders, which include businesses, government, and lenders. It is also expected to change over time based on the needs of the market.
The index currently covers Canada and provides performance insights based on data from different region. There are indexes for Ontario, Quebec, Alberta, and B.C., and one that groups the Atlantic provinces, as well as one for Manitoba and Saskatchewan. “We are looking at (grouping) by sector,” said Cléroux, “but we’re not there yet.”
Hutchison points out that regional insights and realities are often varied depending on which sector the business is in.

“Are they in agriculture? Are they in technology? Are they in services? Having those regional insights will be really important. That will be version two of the index, which we’re excited to launch,” said Hutchison.

Where are the floods in Spain? Latest travel advice following storm in Valencia

More than a month’s worth of rain fell in just one day in some parts of Spain on Tuesday, triggering flash floods to sweep through the country’s southeastern region. At least 62 people have been killed in the floods so far, while roads have been closed and train services cancelled. Understandably, those with a trip booked to the region might be concerned about whether it’s safe to travel right now. Here’s what we know so far. 
Where are the floods in Spain?
The floods have largely impacted southeastern Spain, including the popular holiday hotspot of Costa del Sol. The area surrounding Valencia has seen catastrophic damage, with president of the region Carlos Mazón stating at a press conference on Wednesday morning that it’s ‘impossible to offer a precise figure’ of the number of people killed. 
Towns near Malaga have also been severely affected, with residents stranded and homes damaged. 
Is it safe to travel?
Flights in and out of Valencia were diverted or cancelled yesterday, though there is no news of further cancellations today. If you’re in the region, you should follow advice from local authorities to stay inside until the rain ceases. 
The UK government has not officially advised against travelling to Spain, though it has added a warning to its travel advice page:

‘Severe weather and flooding is affecting many areas of Southern and Eastern Spain, particularly the Valencia region and Castilla La Mancha. Journeys may be affected. Check the latest weather warnings from Spain’s meteorological office before you travel and follow instructions from local authorities.’

What are my rights as a traveller?
As there has been no official advice issued to avoid travel to the region, you may not be able to cancel your trip without penalty. However, if your flight was cancelled, your travel insurer or trip provider should offer reimbursement. 

Extreme weather in Europe

The floods in Spain come just over a month after Storm Boris caused deadly floods in Central Europe. Europe has seen several extreme weather events this year, including wildfires and extreme heatwaves, which have been caused or exacerbated by climate change.

‘Time Cut’ Movie Spoilers And Summary: How Does The Time Travel Machine Work?

The new science fiction mystery slasher film on Netflix, Time Cut, has just about the right dose of early 2000s nostalgia to make it a fun enough watch, even though it is lacking in most other respects. The film is centered around Lucy Field, a teenager who struggles to live in the shadow of a ghastly incident that took place twenty-one years ago, when her elder sister, Summer, was killed by a spooky serial killer in the small town of Sweetly. Although Time Cut is quite predictable and shallow by the end, it is meant to be watched only for casual mindless entertainment and is rather adequate in that regard.

Spoiler Alert

What is the Netflix film about?

Time Cut begins on the 18th of April, 2003, with a teenager named Summer Field walking into a barn in her small hometown of Sweetly to attend a high school party that has been arranged for a very peculiar reason. The town of Sweetly has been dealing with an unprecedented danger over the last few days, for there is a serial killer on the loose who has already taken the lives of three victims. Three teenagers, Brian, Val, and Emmy, have been killed over a span of two days, spreading an air of terror over the town, with an official curfew being imposed after dark. It is both to challenge this curfew and question the authorities, as well as to honor their friends, that the party is being held at the Hayshed Barn. It is also customary for the high schoolers to hold a party, named Spring Fling, at this particular time of the year, and no kind of tragedy or threat to their lives can deter them from doing so.

Although Summer is still grieving the loss of her best friend, Emmy, she attends the party only for the sake of her friends from school, not paying heed to the risk that it involves, just like everyone else at the party. After being greeted by a friend named Quinn, she is swooped away by the most popular boy in school and also Summer’s ex-boyfriend, Ethan. However, nobody at the party notices that the masked serial killer has also made it to the barn, and he eventually makes Summer his target when the girl leaves the party to avoid Ethan’s romantic advances. As soon as she realizes the danger she is in, Summer tries her best to run and hide, even taking shelter in the out-of-use shed nearby, but the murderer ultimately catches her. As fate would have it, Summer is mercilessly slaughtered by the serial killer, soon to be named the Sweetly Slasher.

Twenty-one years later, a teenager named Lucy is seen in her bedroom, and it is instantly made clear that she is actually the younger sister of Summer. Even so many years after the incident, the unfortunate death of Summer is mourned by the Field family, and her parents have not been able to move on from her death at all. As a result, Lucy hardly ever gets any attention from her parents, and her family still does not celebrate any moments of joy or togetherness, still mourning the loss of Summer. To make matters worse, Lucy has to give up on a brilliant opportunity to work as an intern at NASA, only because her overprotective parents do not want her to travel to Washington DC, all by herself. As Lucy finds it extremely difficult to accept her life’s conditions, she extraordinarily comes across a time machine inside the shed at the now abandoned Hayshed Barn and is immediately transferred back in time to 2003. 

Did Lucy stop the emergence of the Sweetly Slasher?

As soon as Lucy steps out of the shed after being hit by the sharp laser ray of the time machine, she notices the world around her to be very different than usual. The Hayshed Barn is no longer an old abandoned compound, and shops that had gone out of business in her world are open and operational now. She then quickly realizes that she has traveled back in time, to 2003, and the date is the 16th of April, which is exactly two days before Summer was killed. Interestingly, this is the very same day on which the Sweetly Slasher serial killer first sprung to action, and so Lucy’s first and only plan is to stop the perpetrator from committing any crimes. Although 21 years had passed, the police had not been able to solve the cases of the teenagers’ murders, and so the identity of the killer is still a mystery to Lucy. 

This makes her task even more difficult, for she has to figure out who the killer is before he can begin his gruesome killing streak, along with saving the victims without directly telling them who she is. But Lucy does not actually mind telling people that she is from the future, and so when a science nerd like herself becomes friends with her, she tells him about her real identity. This boy is Quinn, who was earlier seen speaking to Summer at the party, and she actually saves him from a bunch of bullies, led by Ethan, who were trying to throw him into the nearby river. Although Quinn initially doubts Lucy’s claim of being from the future, she is able to convince him by showing him her smartphone, which is definitely a proof of futuristic tech for Quinn in 2003. However, she does not tell him about the serial killer yet and sets out to stop the murderer by herself.

Lucy knows that the first murders of Brian and Val had taken place at the local shopping mall, and so she heads to the place only some time before the gruesome crime is about to take place. By the time she finds the exact shop, Brian has already been killed by the masked murderer, but she is able to distract the man to save Val, at least temporarily. Since Val is shocked by these sudden occurrences of first seeing her boyfriend killed in a horrific manner and then having a masked psychopath chase her around, she fails to keep up with Lucy and is ultimately killed. Incidentally, a security guard at the mall is also killed by the masked murderer this time around, which had not happened in the original timeline. Although Lucy is upset by this change of events, Quinn warns her that this is a perfect example of why one should not play around with one’s past, despite knowing the future, since it can very easily lead to different branches of reality. 

Who had sent Summer the threatening letter?

In her original timeline, in 2024, Lucy had ventured into the room of her elder sister, which was still maintained by her parents just the way it used to be when Summer used to live in it. Lucy had actually never known her elder sister or even met her, for she was conceived by their parents after Summer’s death. Later on in Time Cut, she actually gets to know what she had always suspected—her parents had conceived Lucy only as an attempt to get over their grief of having lost Summer, but it had been a failed attempt in a lot of ways. The parents are emotionally absent from Lucy’s life, and their inability to accept and move on from the death of their first child directly affects the way in which their second child has to grow up. Simply in an effort to know her sister better, from any source other than the countless newspaper articles written about her and the other victims, Lucy entered Summer’s room and ended up finding something quite mysterious.

Hidden underneath the wooden panels of the floor was a folded piece of paper, on which a handwritten note had been left for Summer. The short note, directly addressed to Summer, stated that the girl will never be free from possibly some burden or guilt, and also threateningly mentioned that she will regret whatever she had done to deserve such a note. The note, or letter, had been signed with only one letter, E, and it meant that someone with a name beginning with an E had sent Summer the note. At the time, Lucy believed that the sender must have been Ethan, whom Summer had dumped only a few days before her death. In fact, Ethan was also the prime suspect in the case according to the police, as they believed that he must have been the Sweetly Slasher, but the young man had solid alibis during each of the murders, and so he could never be charged. 

However, as Lucy goes back to the past, meets her sister, and eventually becomes friends with her, after telling her who she really is, she realizes that she had completely misunderstood the note. In reality, it had been sent to Summer by her best friend, Emmy, who was actually not just her best friend but also her lover. Summer and Emmy had realized that they had genuine feelings for each other, and they dreamed of being a couple, but sadly, society back in 2003 did not make it easy for young girls to express their queer sexual orientations so easily. Despite the social stigma that they would have to face, the girls had decided to come out to their respective parents, and while Emmy had actually done so, Summer could never muster up the courage to tell her parents. This was an ultimate betrayal for Emmy, and she had written the note to Summer for this, reminding her how she will have to live her entire life with this grave secret and how she will obviously regret this decision of hers. Lucy’s intervention actually helps save this romance, as she first manages to inform Quinn and Summer about Emmy being the next target of the serial killer, and they all go to save her. Unlike the previous night, Lucy and her new friends are actually able to save Emmy, and later on in the film, Summer and Emmy kiss in front of everyone as well, confirming their romance to everyone present at the scene.

How does the time machine actually work?

At times, the plot of Time Cut becomes as confused as its teenage protagonist, Lucy, and so it shifts its focus to the inexplicable time machine. Amidst her attempts to undo the serial killer’s actions, Lucy decides that she should head home to her original timeline in order to stop creating any more messes in 2003. But in order to do so, she must first figure out the mystery of the time machine itself, and she gets Quinn’s help in this regard as well. Together, they figure out that two separate elements, temporarily codenamed Particle A and Particle B, need to be brought into contact in order to cause a temporal shift, which essentially changes the time around the machine to the desired time selected on its console, hurtling the user forwards or backwards in time. 

Particle A is actually a laser beam, while Particle B is rubidium, or antimatter. While the first object is readily available to the teenagers, since it is fixed to the time machine itself, they have to get hold of the antimatter to make the time machine work again. Lucy also finds out that the machine had actually been developed by SONR, a local scientific experiment and research facility in Sweetly. Therefore, the canister with antimatter inside it is also to be found at the research facility, and for this Lucy sneaks into the place. However, she finds that one of the canisters is also missing, meaning that the serial killer is actually from the future as well.

Who is the real Sweetly Slasher?

At the same time when Lucy sneaks into the SONR facility, Summer and Quinn attend the Spring Fling party, very aware and prepared to face off against the serial killer who will appear soon. Eventually, the killer does show up, and just as he is about to attack the teenagers, Lucy reaches the place and drives her car into the perpetrator. Shortly after this, it is revealed that the Sweetly Slasher is actually Quinn from the future, who had used the same time travel machine to take revenge on the people who had messed up his teenage years and, in turn, had ruined his whole life. In the original timeline, where there was no Lucy to intervene, the bullies led by Ethan had actually thrown Quinn into the river, causing him tremendous embarrassment in front of everyone. 

While the insults of the others did not affect him as much, Quinn clearly remembered how Summer, the girl whom he genuinely had feelings for, had laughed at him. Later on, Quinn even wrote Summer a letter expressing his immense love for her, and in the altered timeline, Lucy actually sees this letter at the boy’s garage. As Summer had realized her sexual orientation by then, she obviously rejected his advances and wanted to be just friends with him. But she had not come out publicly, and so Quinn ended up believing that she rejected him because she did not consider him good enough. Along with these troubles, Quinn also had to go through problems at home since his father had abandoned the family, which affected his mother so much that she stopped caring about their son either. As a result, Quinn was left all alone in the world, and the traumatic experiences in his teenage years led to him becoming a criminal-minded person in his adult life.

Before Lucy found the time travel machine back in 2024, she had actually seen a strange flash of light from the shed near the abandoned barn, and it had been caused by adult Quinn using the machine to return to 2003. It was he who then donned a mask and went around killing everyone close to Summer before killing the girl as well. But Quinn always planned to return to his original timeline so that he would not get caught or punished for the crimes, and this was why he had already stolen a canister of antimatter from the SONR facility. In the original timeline, he had successfully managed to use the time machine once again and return to 2024, and this was why the police could never solve the mystery of the serial killings.

What happens to Lucy and Summer in the end?

Ultimately, Lucy’s presence alters a lot of events, as she manages to switch on the time machine to take herself and future Quinn back to 2024, where she eventually kills him. The girl then returns home only to realize that her parents have no clue about who she is. This is because Lucy had successfully prevented the death of Summer in this timeline, which meant that her parents never considered conceiving a second child, and so there was technically no reason for Lucy to exist. Thus, at the end of Time Cut, Lucy actually decides to travel back in time to 2003, using the canister that future Quinn had stolen from the facility. She settles down with her elder sister and their parents, who are surely happy to welcome her into the family after learning that she had saved Summer’s life. Thus, the Field family becomes a whole and happy unit after merging the results of the two separate timelines, and Lucy continues to pursue her ambitions in this new life of hers. She even applies for the NASA internship, gets into the program as well, and will get to attend it. Since Quinn did not have to face any humiliations or heartbreaks in this altered timeline, there is no reason for him to turn evil either, and so he remains close friends with the Field sisters.

‘Time Cut’ Movie Spoilers And Summary: How Does The Time Travel Machine Work?

The new science fiction mystery slasher film on Netflix, Time Cut, has just about the right dose of early 2000s nostalgia to make it a fun enough watch, even though it is lacking in most other respects. The film is centered around Lucy Field, a teenager who struggles to live in the shadow of a ghastly incident that took place twenty-one years ago, when her elder sister, Summer, was killed by a spooky serial killer in the small town of Sweetly. Although Time Cut is quite predictable and shallow by the end, it is meant to be watched only for casual mindless entertainment and is rather adequate in that regard.

Spoiler Alert

What is the Netflix film about?

Time Cut begins on the 18th of April, 2003, with a teenager named Summer Field walking into a barn in her small hometown of Sweetly to attend a high school party that has been arranged for a very peculiar reason. The town of Sweetly has been dealing with an unprecedented danger over the last few days, for there is a serial killer on the loose who has already taken the lives of three victims. Three teenagers, Brian, Val, and Emmy, have been killed over a span of two days, spreading an air of terror over the town, with an official curfew being imposed after dark. It is both to challenge this curfew and question the authorities, as well as to honor their friends, that the party is being held at the Hayshed Barn. It is also customary for the high schoolers to hold a party, named Spring Fling, at this particular time of the year, and no kind of tragedy or threat to their lives can deter them from doing so.

Although Summer is still grieving the loss of her best friend, Emmy, she attends the party only for the sake of her friends from school, not paying heed to the risk that it involves, just like everyone else at the party. After being greeted by a friend named Quinn, she is swooped away by the most popular boy in school and also Summer’s ex-boyfriend, Ethan. However, nobody at the party notices that the masked serial killer has also made it to the barn, and he eventually makes Summer his target when the girl leaves the party to avoid Ethan’s romantic advances. As soon as she realizes the danger she is in, Summer tries her best to run and hide, even taking shelter in the out-of-use shed nearby, but the murderer ultimately catches her. As fate would have it, Summer is mercilessly slaughtered by the serial killer, soon to be named the Sweetly Slasher.

Twenty-one years later, a teenager named Lucy is seen in her bedroom, and it is instantly made clear that she is actually the younger sister of Summer. Even so many years after the incident, the unfortunate death of Summer is mourned by the Field family, and her parents have not been able to move on from her death at all. As a result, Lucy hardly ever gets any attention from her parents, and her family still does not celebrate any moments of joy or togetherness, still mourning the loss of Summer. To make matters worse, Lucy has to give up on a brilliant opportunity to work as an intern at NASA, only because her overprotective parents do not want her to travel to Washington DC, all by herself. As Lucy finds it extremely difficult to accept her life’s conditions, she extraordinarily comes across a time machine inside the shed at the now abandoned Hayshed Barn and is immediately transferred back in time to 2003. 

Did Lucy stop the emergence of the Sweetly Slasher?

As soon as Lucy steps out of the shed after being hit by the sharp laser ray of the time machine, she notices the world around her to be very different than usual. The Hayshed Barn is no longer an old abandoned compound, and shops that had gone out of business in her world are open and operational now. She then quickly realizes that she has traveled back in time, to 2003, and the date is the 16th of April, which is exactly two days before Summer was killed. Interestingly, this is the very same day on which the Sweetly Slasher serial killer first sprung to action, and so Lucy’s first and only plan is to stop the perpetrator from committing any crimes. Although 21 years had passed, the police had not been able to solve the cases of the teenagers’ murders, and so the identity of the killer is still a mystery to Lucy. 

This makes her task even more difficult, for she has to figure out who the killer is before he can begin his gruesome killing streak, along with saving the victims without directly telling them who she is. But Lucy does not actually mind telling people that she is from the future, and so when a science nerd like herself becomes friends with her, she tells him about her real identity. This boy is Quinn, who was earlier seen speaking to Summer at the party, and she actually saves him from a bunch of bullies, led by Ethan, who were trying to throw him into the nearby river. Although Quinn initially doubts Lucy’s claim of being from the future, she is able to convince him by showing him her smartphone, which is definitely a proof of futuristic tech for Quinn in 2003. However, she does not tell him about the serial killer yet and sets out to stop the murderer by herself.

Lucy knows that the first murders of Brian and Val had taken place at the local shopping mall, and so she heads to the place only some time before the gruesome crime is about to take place. By the time she finds the exact shop, Brian has already been killed by the masked murderer, but she is able to distract the man to save Val, at least temporarily. Since Val is shocked by these sudden occurrences of first seeing her boyfriend killed in a horrific manner and then having a masked psychopath chase her around, she fails to keep up with Lucy and is ultimately killed. Incidentally, a security guard at the mall is also killed by the masked murderer this time around, which had not happened in the original timeline. Although Lucy is upset by this change of events, Quinn warns her that this is a perfect example of why one should not play around with one’s past, despite knowing the future, since it can very easily lead to different branches of reality. 

Who had sent Summer the threatening letter?

In her original timeline, in 2024, Lucy had ventured into the room of her elder sister, which was still maintained by her parents just the way it used to be when Summer used to live in it. Lucy had actually never known her elder sister or even met her, for she was conceived by their parents after Summer’s death. Later on in Time Cut, she actually gets to know what she had always suspected—her parents had conceived Lucy only as an attempt to get over their grief of having lost Summer, but it had been a failed attempt in a lot of ways. The parents are emotionally absent from Lucy’s life, and their inability to accept and move on from the death of their first child directly affects the way in which their second child has to grow up. Simply in an effort to know her sister better, from any source other than the countless newspaper articles written about her and the other victims, Lucy entered Summer’s room and ended up finding something quite mysterious.

Hidden underneath the wooden panels of the floor was a folded piece of paper, on which a handwritten note had been left for Summer. The short note, directly addressed to Summer, stated that the girl will never be free from possibly some burden or guilt, and also threateningly mentioned that she will regret whatever she had done to deserve such a note. The note, or letter, had been signed with only one letter, E, and it meant that someone with a name beginning with an E had sent Summer the note. At the time, Lucy believed that the sender must have been Ethan, whom Summer had dumped only a few days before her death. In fact, Ethan was also the prime suspect in the case according to the police, as they believed that he must have been the Sweetly Slasher, but the young man had solid alibis during each of the murders, and so he could never be charged. 

However, as Lucy goes back to the past, meets her sister, and eventually becomes friends with her, after telling her who she really is, she realizes that she had completely misunderstood the note. In reality, it had been sent to Summer by her best friend, Emmy, who was actually not just her best friend but also her lover. Summer and Emmy had realized that they had genuine feelings for each other, and they dreamed of being a couple, but sadly, society back in 2003 did not make it easy for young girls to express their queer sexual orientations so easily. Despite the social stigma that they would have to face, the girls had decided to come out to their respective parents, and while Emmy had actually done so, Summer could never muster up the courage to tell her parents. This was an ultimate betrayal for Emmy, and she had written the note to Summer for this, reminding her how she will have to live her entire life with this grave secret and how she will obviously regret this decision of hers. Lucy’s intervention actually helps save this romance, as she first manages to inform Quinn and Summer about Emmy being the next target of the serial killer, and they all go to save her. Unlike the previous night, Lucy and her new friends are actually able to save Emmy, and later on in the film, Summer and Emmy kiss in front of everyone as well, confirming their romance to everyone present at the scene.

How does the time machine actually work?

At times, the plot of Time Cut becomes as confused as its teenage protagonist, Lucy, and so it shifts its focus to the inexplicable time machine. Amidst her attempts to undo the serial killer’s actions, Lucy decides that she should head home to her original timeline in order to stop creating any more messes in 2003. But in order to do so, she must first figure out the mystery of the time machine itself, and she gets Quinn’s help in this regard as well. Together, they figure out that two separate elements, temporarily codenamed Particle A and Particle B, need to be brought into contact in order to cause a temporal shift, which essentially changes the time around the machine to the desired time selected on its console, hurtling the user forwards or backwards in time. 

Particle A is actually a laser beam, while Particle B is rubidium, or antimatter. While the first object is readily available to the teenagers, since it is fixed to the time machine itself, they have to get hold of the antimatter to make the time machine work again. Lucy also finds out that the machine had actually been developed by SONR, a local scientific experiment and research facility in Sweetly. Therefore, the canister with antimatter inside it is also to be found at the research facility, and for this Lucy sneaks into the place. However, she finds that one of the canisters is also missing, meaning that the serial killer is actually from the future as well.

Who is the real Sweetly Slasher?

At the same time when Lucy sneaks into the SONR facility, Summer and Quinn attend the Spring Fling party, very aware and prepared to face off against the serial killer who will appear soon. Eventually, the killer does show up, and just as he is about to attack the teenagers, Lucy reaches the place and drives her car into the perpetrator. Shortly after this, it is revealed that the Sweetly Slasher is actually Quinn from the future, who had used the same time travel machine to take revenge on the people who had messed up his teenage years and, in turn, had ruined his whole life. In the original timeline, where there was no Lucy to intervene, the bullies led by Ethan had actually thrown Quinn into the river, causing him tremendous embarrassment in front of everyone. 

While the insults of the others did not affect him as much, Quinn clearly remembered how Summer, the girl whom he genuinely had feelings for, had laughed at him. Later on, Quinn even wrote Summer a letter expressing his immense love for her, and in the altered timeline, Lucy actually sees this letter at the boy’s garage. As Summer had realized her sexual orientation by then, she obviously rejected his advances and wanted to be just friends with him. But she had not come out publicly, and so Quinn ended up believing that she rejected him because she did not consider him good enough. Along with these troubles, Quinn also had to go through problems at home since his father had abandoned the family, which affected his mother so much that she stopped caring about their son either. As a result, Quinn was left all alone in the world, and the traumatic experiences in his teenage years led to him becoming a criminal-minded person in his adult life.

Before Lucy found the time travel machine back in 2024, she had actually seen a strange flash of light from the shed near the abandoned barn, and it had been caused by adult Quinn using the machine to return to 2003. It was he who then donned a mask and went around killing everyone close to Summer before killing the girl as well. But Quinn always planned to return to his original timeline so that he would not get caught or punished for the crimes, and this was why he had already stolen a canister of antimatter from the SONR facility. In the original timeline, he had successfully managed to use the time machine once again and return to 2024, and this was why the police could never solve the mystery of the serial killings.

What happens to Lucy and Summer in the end?

Ultimately, Lucy’s presence alters a lot of events, as she manages to switch on the time machine to take herself and future Quinn back to 2024, where she eventually kills him. The girl then returns home only to realize that her parents have no clue about who she is. This is because Lucy had successfully prevented the death of Summer in this timeline, which meant that her parents never considered conceiving a second child, and so there was technically no reason for Lucy to exist. Thus, at the end of Time Cut, Lucy actually decides to travel back in time to 2003, using the canister that future Quinn had stolen from the facility. She settles down with her elder sister and their parents, who are surely happy to welcome her into the family after learning that she had saved Summer’s life. Thus, the Field family becomes a whole and happy unit after merging the results of the two separate timelines, and Lucy continues to pursue her ambitions in this new life of hers. She even applies for the NASA internship, gets into the program as well, and will get to attend it. Since Quinn did not have to face any humiliations or heartbreaks in this altered timeline, there is no reason for him to turn evil either, and so he remains close friends with the Field sisters.

‘Time Cut’ Movie Ending Explained: Is Sweetly Slasher Dead Or Alive?

I think time travel movies and science fiction thrillers are tricky. They use real-life scientific laws to weave fictional narratives that make you ask, “Is it really possible to travel through time like this?” Well, maybe, but the irritating part is, that most of these movies don’t want to discuss the complexities of time travel and just explain the stuff that’s on the surface to avoid exposing the loopholes in the logic, and Netflix’s Time Cut most likely falls into that category. [Spoiler Alert] While Time Cut’s ending is a straightforward one, I am sure many might be wondering how and when Quinn became the “Sweetly Slasher” and why he went on a three-day killing spree on 16th April 2003. So, without further ado, let’s explore.

Spoiler Alert

Why Did Adult Quinn Kill Summer? 

So, first things first, Quinn was a boy genius at Sweetly High School who, being a nerd, was often bullied by his seniors. However, things went out of hand when some of his friends, including Brian Palmer and Ethan, threw Quinn into the river as a part of the high school’s bullying ritual. In that really embarrassing moment, Quinn saw his high school crush Summer Field laughing at him, and that really hurt him. I am sure he still took the matter lightly, and that was the reason why he wrote the most cheesy love letter to Summer, which she refused to accept because she wasn’t into boys and was in love with a girl in her class named Emmy Golden. But Quinn wasn’t the kind of guy who took rejection lightly. He decided to take revenge on everyone who’d humiliated him and rejected him in school. Some years later, an adult Quinn (played by BJ Verot) created a time travel machine, and instead of using it for the betterment of humanity, he used it to kill the girl in school who refused to become his girlfriend. Yikes! I am sure Quinn wasn’t aware of the real reason why Summer rejected his proposal, although I doubt that things would’ve gone differently even if he knew. Blinded by his pursuit for revenge, he never bothered to find out either. In the original reality, I believe, Summer never came out as a lesbian, and things between her and Emmy didn’t really work out. She might have led a “normal” life and married a guy because she was too afraid of what people would think about her sexual orientation. In the new reality, it was her sister, Lucy, who gave her the courage and convinced her to confess her feelings to Emmy in public. 

When Did Adult Quinn Travel To 2003?

I guess an adult Quinn used the time travel machine on 18th April 2024, the same day on which Lucy visited the location where her sister Summer was killed. While her parents were standing near the memorial, Lucy saw a light flashing inside the barn, which was most likely adult Quinn using the machine to go back to 16th April, 2003, to begin his 3-day killing spree. And in his burning desire (he used the same words for his love letter too) for revenge, Quinn created a new reality in which a masked killer murdered these 4 teenagers, therefore erasing them from the future forever. 

I think the reason why an adult Quinn decided to kill Summer and her friends after the river incident was because he wanted his young self to feel the humiliation and embarrassment that he had gone through, which would ultimately compel him to do great things in life, like creating something as groundbreaking as a time machine. But Lucy’s arrival in 2003 messed everything up. She not only saved Quinn from being bullied by his seniors but also changed his perspective towards life, which helped him become a better version of himself. Quinn’s keen interest in science and his fascination for the time machine did point towards the fact that he would create something like that in the future, and now that he doesn’t need to become a serial killer, he will certainly use his talent for something better.

How Did Lucy Change the Future?

As soon as Lucy ended up in 2003, she decided to solve the mystery of her sister’s death and catch the “Sweetly Slasher.” She tried to save Brian and Val, who were killed in the mall, but because of Lucy’s interference, a poor security guard got killed along with Brian and Val. Thankfully, Lucy was able to save adult Quinn’s third target, i.e., Emmy. The rescue mission gave Summer the opportunity to reconcile with her crush, and the two decided to make their relationship public. Adult Quinn’s fourth target was Summer herself, but Lucy wasn’t sure if she wanted to save her sister or not. She realized that if she saved Summer’s life, then her parents wouldn’t try to bring another child into the world, and Lucy would never be born. By the way, an adult Quinn had explained to his younger self that killing himself wouldn’t erase the adult one, which means Lucy would remain alive even if she saved Summer’s life. But yes, she didn’t know how time travel really works, nor did anyone else. I think, in the world of Time Cut, the presentation of time travel isn’t as punishing as it is in other movies and shows. Characters can go into the past and change the present as they please, but nobody gets erased from the timeline as a result of their actions. 

In Time Cut’s ending, Lucy decided to put her selfishness aside and save what could be saved. With the help of young Quinn, Lucy not only saved Summer’s life but also took adult Quinn back to 2024, where she ultimately killed him with his own knife. So, Quinn is both a hero and the villain in the end, isn’t he? According to Lucy’s last line in Time Cut’s ending scene, her parents failed to recognize her, which means saving Summer’s life did change the future, and therefore her parents never conceived another child. In the new reality, Lucy didn’t exist and had no threads tied to anyone in 2024, which was the reason why she decided to come back to 2003, where she actually belonged. In 2003, Lucy applied for the NASA internship program (like she did in 2024) and apparently was selected for it. At this time, she didn’t have any overprotective parents around her and therefore could live her life the way she wanted. As far as Summer was concerned, Lucy told her that she hadn’t seen any husband around in the new reality. It means Summer didn’t end up marrying a guy, and most likely came out to her parents. In short, just like Lucy, Summer too decided to spend the rest of her life on her own terms, and she may even end up marrying Emmy in the future.

Will Quinn Become The “Sweetly Slasher” Again?

Well, I guess he won’t. Time Cut made us believe that the river incident and Summer rejecting Quinn’s proposal were a turning point in Quinn’s life that ultimately turned him into a villain. But in the new reality, both of these events never took place. Lucy stood up for Quinn and stopped Brian and Ethan from throwing Quinn into the river, while Quinn never gave his love letter to Summer because Lucy might have told him about what was going on between Summer and Emmy. I guess earlier, Quinn believed that Summer rejected him for Ethan, but that doesn’t seem to be the case in the new reality. Hence, it would be safe to assume that Quinn won’t turn into a slasher like before and would be more considerate towards others. And this may sound like a reach, but I think Lucy and Quinn make a great pair. The first time Lucy met Quinn, she was quite intrigued by his intelligence. So, you never know.

Wrapping up, I have tried to keep it as simple as I can, but I am sure many of you might still have a few questions in mind, so feel free to drop them in the comment box and I will be happy to discuss the film with you.
