Peter Thiel literally wrote that freedom and democracy are not 'compatible' and that regulating Big Tech is the work of the 'anti-Christ'. Stop treating this as metaphor. When billionaires tell you they want to end democracy, take them seriously.

The current war makes us reflect not only on the conflicts stirred up by strongmen and zealots, but also on the global energy map. Who owns what? Who buys from whom? Who controls the trade routes?
Today, just six out of nearly 200 countries control the majority of the world’s oil and gas reserves. To reach a sustainable energy economy, leaders should build sustainable cooperation and peace treaties, while at the same time investing in solar energy and other energy sources that are far more evenly distributed. This could help reduce the acute dependencies that often fuel tensions, annexations, and wars.

When a Nazi officer entered Picasso's studio in occupied Paris, he saw a reproduction of Guernica. Shocked by the modernist 'chaos' of the painting that depicted the bombing of civilians during war, the fascist asked, "Did you do that?"
Picasso replied, "No, you did."

This staggering act of ecocide is not even receiving mainstream coverage

💢 “Black rain” and “nuclear winter” effect reported in Tehran after Israeli strikes on oil facilities ▪️ Israeli strikes on oil depots around Tehran have released massive quantities of toxic hydrocarbons, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen oxides. Mixed with rainwater, these chemicals are causing highly acidic precipitation that can cause skin burns and severe lung damage upon contact, according to Iranian authorities. ▪️ Dense plumes of black smoke from the Shahran and other refineries have blotted out the sun, plunging parts of the city into darkness and creating a "nuclear winter" effect, NYT reported. Authorities warned that these noxious fumes cause acute respiratory distress and eye irritation. ▪️ Oil-saturated rainwater has blanketed the city, leaving rooftops, balconies, and streets covered in a thick, murky black liquid and oily soot. This contamination poses a long-term risk of heavy metals like nickel and vanadium leaching into the soil and local water systems. ▪️ Environmental groups warn the pollution threatens migratory birds crossing the Persian Gulf. The "black rain" and smoke plumes can cause internal organ damage and destroy the insulating properties of bird feathers, leading to hypothermia and death. The Iranian Red Crescent Society warned of the dangers of the rain, advising residents to protect themselves and to cover exposed food from oily soot particles. Officials said the rain is highly corrosive and could potentially damage civilian structures. 🎥 Day time in Iran (clip via @tparsi). CNN reports on “oil rain” below.

Why must LLMs hallucinate? The answer in this paper - a low threshold for guessing because of rewards during post-training - is part of the explanation, but another is that they are designed not to store and retrieve facts but to mash up probabilistic associates. Out of curiosity I asked ChatGPT for the title of my PhD dissertation and it confidently provided the nonsensical and not-even-close “Taxonomy and the Mental Lexicon.” (It was "The Representation of Three-Dimensional Space in Mental Images.")

BOMBSHELL: Sam Altman, Marc Andreessen & Joe Lonsdale's $125M SuperPAC has a simple strategy.
Destroy *anyone* who tries to regulate AI.
They want to make an example of AI safety advocates so brutal that no politician dares touch the issue again.

David Lammy: "... because Cyprus is part of NATO"
erm, Cyprus is not a member of NATO. Maybe its just a slip of the tongue? Except he repeats the claim just a minute later
"... Cyprus is a NATO country"
Does the deputy PM not know that Cyprus isn't a member of a NATO?
