This reveals something fundamental.

RFK doesn’t grasp he’s the medical establishment now.

It’s not his job to judge who caused this epidemic (though we all know who).

It’s his job to stop it.

He’s failing.

Anthropic's super-scary bug hunting model Mythos is shaping up to be a nothingburger And that unauthorized access? 'A nothing burger,' hacking startup CEO tells El Reg Anthropic's Mythos model is purportedly so good at finding vulnerabilities that the Claude-maker is afraid to make it available to the general public for fear that criminals will take advantage. But early analysis shows that Mythos may not be as dangerous as some would have you believe.…

Q: Can you explain the computer log in issue? Your lawsuit contends you were not able to log in

PATEL: Survey -- how many of you people believe that's true?

The Washington Post Editorial Board was fine with Republicans gerrymandering in Texas.

But when Democrats responded in Virginia, it’s a “power grab” that “plunges America deeper into the gerrymandering abyss.”

This is exactly how Democrats used to talk about Republican redistricting back when Rs were handily winning the partisan gerrymandering wars (and thus rejecting Dem federal legislation to prohibit it).

This is the thing, if "academia" wanted to stop this, we could easily tomorrow. Over 3 incorrect references? Rejected and forbidden to submit next year.

In February 1777, General George Washington ordered the first mass immunization campaign in American history by mandating that his troops be inoculated against smallpox. He protected the Continental Army from an epidemic that was deadlier than British forces.

249 years later, we have this idiot.

According to previous anti-vax cycles (it is a recurrent cycle, an outbreak of hysteria every 50 years or so) the antivax fever will end after mass death of children. That usually does it. One would think we could skip the mass sacrifice, but no. We won't. #MedSky

I don’t think we talk nearly enough about the fact that corporations like Amazon, don’t pay a single cent to maintain the roads they use, the transportation system they use, the courts they use, they pay nothing for the infrastructure that is absolutely critical to their business.

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.

Anthropic won't own MCP 'design flaw' putting 200K servers at risk, researcher says Bug or feature? A design flaw – or expected behavior based on a bad design choice, depending on who is telling the story – baked into Anthropic's official Model Context Protocol (MCP) puts as many as 200,000 servers at risk of complete takeover, according to security researchers.…

There's a *ton* of things I'm super worried about with respect to AI, and some of the genuinely very big systemic changes that are coming down the road because of it. But finding memory corruption bugs in platforms? It's impressive. It's important. But it's not "omg cyberpocalypse". Cool your jets.

Screenshot of a New York Times article that says: '2 hours ago. John Ismay. Covering the Pentagon. Hegseth has said before that U.S. troops are fighting for military victory in Iran “in the name of Jesus Christ.” During the news conference he again cast the war in explicitly Christian terms. He compared the rescue of two downed F-15 crew members inside Iran to biblical miracles. And he compared reporters in the Pentagon press corps to the Pharisees who criticized Jesus Christ.'

U.S. troops don’t fight wars “in the name of Jesus Christ.” They serve the Constitution. At least, that’s the idea.
