Congo is literally the worst place in the world to send refugees. It is a failed state with multiple militias, along with neighbors (who are, I hasten to add, US allies) invading to loot and pillage. We are sending refugees there because Donald Trump is a racist pigfucker who thinks it's funny.
America under Trump has no honor. None at all. This is the act of a craven group of thugs whose word should never be trusted, ever.
We are abandoning the people who trusted us and helped fight our war in their land out of sheer venality and racism.

Either way I would not be surprised

tarrif refunds huh - winning. Congratulations comrade trump. Great job.
I’m glad to see Tim Apple leave - he’s an asshole
everyone loves to hate on dario amodei for being one of the Four Grifter Horsemen of the AIPocalypse, but he never debased himself like tim cook did. it has soured me off apple products and i have used them professionally my entire life, dating back to the Apple II.
Tim Apple stepping aside, just in time..
Amused by all the gun talk in the replies. Especially given the past 12+ months with ICE etc.
The guns are just for playing tough.
I can't be bothered to guess why, but Opus 4.7 working the marketing magic. It's a 5 point scale with some feel good labels. It's all vibes, baby. All vibes.
I have a buddy who is a talented PD, who has won murder trials against the state. He tried the new VLex ai tool a few months ago and was shocked and worried about labor impact.
To put it bluntly, I do not think asking him questions about dog noises would convince him otherwise.
RaveDAO accused of pump-and-dump as token crashes 98% Binance and BitGet have confirmed they are investigating allegations that RaveDAO orchestrate a pump-and-dump to push its RAVE token price from around $0.25 to more than $27 over the past few weeks, before the token price plummeted back down to $0.66. Concerns were first raised by blockchain investigator zachbxt, who called on the exchanges to investigate. He later wrote, "While it's good the exchanges responded, I find it unlikely this activity wasn't spotted internally before I raised it publicly." RaveDAO describes itself as a "community-driven global rave powerhouse", and sells NFT tickets to rave events. RaveDAO has denied any responsibility for the recent price movements, but did not address allegations of enormous token concentration with the project's team or large transfers to exchanges around the time of the price jump.

Aave faces approximately $200 million in bad debt after Kelp DAO bridge exploit The Aave defi lending protocol is grappling with anywhere from $177 million to $236 million in bad debt after the Kelp DAO bridge exploiter used Aave to cash out their stolen rsETH. Rather than selling the tokens, the attacker used the rsETH as collateral to borrow wETH, leaving Aave stuck with the huge quantity of unbacked rsETH. Although Kelp and Aave both froze affected markets, the attacker had already cashed out. The attacker borrowed essentially all of the wETH available on the platform, leaving those who'd loaned those tokens unable to withdraw. Aave maintains a $50 million insurance fund to absorb bad debt. However, this can't cover such a huge shortfall.

Perhaps AI threatens some people’s belief that they’re special beings, rather than just mediocre pattern matchers.

I didn’t really do any work - I just said, yep ok go ahead…
Tonight my custom Android tv streaming app stopped working because they’d deprecated the v2 API. Opened the proj with Claude, which connected to my tv, downloaded the new apk, decompiled it, built a new authentication poc in python, ported it to Java, updated the apk & installed it. ~30 mins. 🤖🦾
I don’t have the patience or energy to argue with people - if you think AI is not useful - good luck to you.
The Prime Minister of Australia is a petulant weasel who is bumbling way beyond his mediocre capabilities.
Exactly what you don't want from a national leader at any time in any context.

The token multiplier is the real story. Opus 4.7 charges 1.46x for text and 3x for images at the same price. That's not optimization—it's the cost of statefulness bleeding into billing. We're paying for memory we didn't ask for. Autonomy's unit economics fail when the model writes its own receipts.

COVID-19 appears to leave a persistent, inflammatory footprint on the brain. New research reveals that SARS-CoV-2 causes small blood vessel injury and ongoing brain inflammation even after the virus is cleared. neurosciencenews.com/covid-flu-br... #covid #longcovid #inflammation #brain
As someone who works in tech and has seen AI agents at work, Dario Amodei’s warnings of job displacement are spot on.
But going on TV to say AI will kill 50% of jobs while building the leading tool (Claude) that is most likely to do that is silly. It’s even sillier when you present no solutions.

Kelp DAO bridge hacked for $292 million An attacker stole 116,500 rsETH (restaked ether) from a blockchain bridge run by Kelp DAO. Based on prices at the time of the theft, the stolen tokens would be worth around $292 million — however, the attacker is likely to face challenges selling a quantity of tokens that amounts to 18% of rsETH's circulating supply. When tokens are bridged from one chain to another, the tokens on the original chain are locked in the bridge smart contract while the token is used on the other chain, preventing its owner from double-spending the asset. With 116,500 locked rsETH now stolen, those using the token on other blockchains are now holding possibly unbacked tokens.
The rush for holders to offload their dubiously backed tokens is likely to worsen contagion throughout defi protocols, where those platforms could be left holding the bag. Some platforms, including Aave, Lido Finance, and Ethena, have paused markets involving rsETH to try to protect themselves. This hack has set the new record for the largest defi hack in 2026, following the $285 million Drift exploit on April 1.

ok i laughed
It’s really not a secret - just no one ever paid real attention before
Giving your users an in-app model designed to hack your systems, not a good idea.
Giving your devs tools to build and secure their systems via red teaming? a good idea.
I am thankful for open weights.
Oh don't worry. Even if your company does pay for it they will force it through something like zScaler's guardrails, which are even more restrictive. You literally cannot get it to tell you how to drop a single table. And if it tells you as a part of something else it will shut down the chat.
This kinda shit really pisses me off.
