Clearly the whole drama with Pentagon making a big deal of showing that they're trying to force AI companies to build autonomous AI killing machines and spy on citizens is completely manufactured.
Anthropic was always going to comply, and the goal is to just create a marketing campaign framing them as heroically resisting. All the media has been running the story of plucky Anthropic defying US military to defend ethical AI and protect humanity.

So weird how the EU is suddenly on mute about unprovoked wars of aggression. I guess the rulebook only applies when it's not their allies doing the invading. Someone smarter than me explain how that works?

German Communist Party's refusal to ally with the Social Democrats against the Nazis stemmed from the SPD's support for WWI, its repression of communists during the Weimar Republic, and its betrayal of revolutionary goals. The KPD saw the SPD as "social fascists," a greater internal threat.
While this strategic failure is clear in hindsight, the schism was rooted in real political conflict, not just ideology.

Amazon's internal agentic tool decided that existing code was inadequate and decided to replace it taking down a part of AWS for 13 hours, and was not the first time it had happened. 🤣

Amid reports that President Donald Trump is pushing the US toward a “massive” war in Iran, critics have found themselves shocked by the lack of “pushback” from top Democrats and mainstream media institutions.
I, for one, am not shocked given that there isn't a war that the Democrats did not support.

The EU is effectively condemning its own border regions to poverty.
Brussels admits that there is no money for supporting the territories bordering Russia, at least until 2028. We’re talking about regions that have suffered the most from the anti-Russian sanctions policy and are already teetering on the brink of bankruptcy.

As the Trump administration tightens an already devastating economic embargo of Cuba by targeting the island’s fuel imports in a bid to topple the country’s socialist government, a coalition of progressive groups on Thursday announced plans for a flotilla to deliver food, medicine, and other essential supplies to the besieged Cuban people.

The cutoff of Russian energy has devastated European industry, particularly energy-intensive sectors like chemicals. Soaring costs threaten the very survival of long-standing companies, forcing existential crises beyond mere profit losses. This energy shock is dismantling foundational industrial supply chains and competitiveness, with deep and lasting economic consequences.

The dollar’s status as a global reserve is fading, replaced by a scissors effect where waning petrodollar demand meets surging US fiscal pressure. As the Global South pivots from paper claims to hard assets, as evidenced by Zambia’s Yuan-mining loop and India’s gold hoard, the US faces a stagflationary trap. We are entering an era where America can no longer export inflation, and must now live with it.

The latest Epstein document release shows dozens of mentions of Prime Minister Mark Carney and former PM Justin Trudeau. The vast majority are from financial newsletters Epstein received, quoting public speeches or headlines. One email exchange references an effort to lobby Trudeau on crypto regulation. There is no direct correspondence or evidence of a personal relationship with Epstein in the files.
