This from trade guru Richard Baldwin on Trump's trade war conduct is great. And helps explain why in fact he is not remaking the world economic order or anything else. He's just going to leave a huge mess behind. www.linkedin.com/pulse/trumps...
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.
But broadly, I think the problem here in the reasoning is the IC's essentially fictional distinction between "collection" and "analysis". The IC basically takes the position that a 4A event occurs at collection time, (but is reasonable bc Keith), but doesn't occur at all when querying the database
Gonna be thinking about this paragraph for a bit:
Dr. Cerina Fairfax is remembered as a mentor and community leader as officials call attention to the broader impact of domestic gun violence toward Black women

Jeffrey Clark (the former DOJ official nearly made acting AG to help Trump overturn the 2020 election) is currently melting down over on the other site in response to John Eastman getting disbarred, insisting there should be no consequences bc "reasonable minds" can disagree on 2020 election.
Column by Philip Kennicott: An AI-generated image of President Trump as a saintly figure sparked outrage for its blasphemous implications and desperation.
Its swift removal from Truth Social revealed the instability in his relationship with supporters. https://wapo.st/3OtNcEe
This isn’t the occasion to debate its contents.
But the TL:DR summary is that Mythos is really good at hacking but it’s a case of prepare, don’t panic.
that’s a really useful dose of realism (not least because of the argument that it served anthropic’s commercial interests to hype up mythos) 11/
They conducted a full test of its hacking prowess
They evaluated its capabilities against current cyber defences
And they published the whole evaluation in just over ONE week
It is the only independent evaluation of this powerful new AI tool yet undertaken anywhere in the world 10/

Seeing a lot of shocked reactions to this in the quotes and it's funny how it's just people outing themselves for how deeply propagandized they are via the War On Terror lol.
Just US state department lines about Islam and Iranians they that deeply hold in their hearts not matching to reality.
Being a completely faithless actor is expensive. So many off-ramps involve promises, like a promise not to attack Iran in the future. If Iran can't trust us, its only recourse is to inflict as much pain as possible on the entire world in the hopes that we'll learn from natural consequences.
It's the 7th month of the US bombing random ships in Latin American waters they claim are drug smugglers (reminder that two survivors who were rescued were repatriated, not charged), and the death toll is 150+, and it barely gets discussed.
It is crazymaking to listen to the right claim Orban's loss means he was never an authoritarian when people in Hungary feared that opposing him would immiserate their families

Already annoyed about the coming books full of anonymous senior officials telling every ugly behind-the-scenes detail about the effort to hide Trump’s dementia like it is some fucking revelation when it seems like most of the planet already knows and legacy media are the ones not saying it.
Certain writers (*cough* NYT Opinion *cough*) overread the durability of illiberal nationalism and scoffed at pro-democracy appeals, but they only listened to each other, never allowing alternate opinions into their elite bubble. That left them unable to grasp everything from Hungary to Minneapolis.

Ah, ok. Had not seen the latest Russini news. I'm still catching up this morning.
IDK. I'll never say accountability is inevitable in this country, but if you're a reporter and there are at least 3 stories (all involving different sources) like this about you out there over ten years, it feels like a lock that there are many more skeletons to uncover.
Feels unsustainable imo
I think a lot of people here are way underestimating how difficult it is to break a sexual abuse story *even when everybody kind of knows it* unless you can get victims on record. it is very, very hard.
Major media outlets are helping JD Vance play both sides — posing as the principled adviser opposed to the war but also as the loyal helpmate supporting his president's war. Get a grip. Vance is helping a criminal president conduct an illegal war. It’s a scandal that working the press works so well.
