ICAN condemns the United States’ illegal military action against Iran’s nuclear facilities. By joining Israel’s strikes, the US is violating international law and putting global non-proliferation efforts at risk.

Elon saying he’s going to reprogram his chatbot’s view of history is a perfect example of why these kinds of AI products aren’t the neutral “tools” people always defend them as. They’re little political projects reflecting the ideologies of their creators

After the latest round of grading papers, I wrote about AI, ChatGPT, the death of the student essay, and what it means for the future of human cognition.

Brilliant. And I like that the post just says 'LLM' instead of the marketing term 'AI'.

The reason Elon made Grok in the first place was because he assumed OpenAI was turning the secret “woke” dial up too high and small parameter tweaks could make it right-wing. Now he has realized the only way to get the AI to agree with him is to lobotomize it by rewriting the entire training set.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

Former President Barack Obama issued a warning about the future of American democracy, while speaking at an event in Connecticut. Obama cautioned that the country is “dangerously close” to normalizing behavior “consistent with autocracies.”

'Meredith,' some guys ask, 'why won't you shove AI into Signal?' Because we love privacy, and we love you, and this shit is predictable and unacceptable. Use Signal ❤️

I don’t want Iran to have nukes. I don’t want Israel to have nukes. Not China. Not Russia. Not India. Not Pakistan. Not even our country U.S. No one should have the power to wipe out millions in seconds. Nuclear weapons aren’t strength, they’re humanity’s shame.

This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

New research from MIT found that those who used ChatGPT can’t remember any of the content of their essays. Key takeaway: the product doesn’t suffer, but the process does. And when it comes to essays, the process *is* how they learn. arxiv.org/pdf/2506.088...

This is super petty but if Trump is to get dragged into a war in the Middle East (like all US presidents do), it would be a great opportunity for Europeans to say to the US sorry but you can’t stop over here. Might make Trump feel the value of European allies

We were promised peace through strength and we got wars from incompetence.

Use Signal. We promise, no AI clutter, and no surveillance ads, whatever the rest of the industry does. <3

Honestly I still can’t stop laughing 😂😅🤣

Genie: ok what do you want for your birthday Trump: a military parade, oh, and also millions of people on the street chanting my name Genie: okie dokie

Two phrases that need to be retired: “We are better than this.” (We’re not.) The U.S. president is “the leader of the free world.” (He’s not.)

👀

Their only chance is to call the LLM 'Dory'.

Seeing people can only understand society through pop culture references:

Poorly satisfied with the military parade in Washington DC, Trump setup another in LA hoping this one would really draw blood.

In case you're wondering, authoritarians use this strategy of escalation to manufacture crisis, provoke outrage, then use the reaction to justify repression. It’s not about restoring order, it's about creating a spectacle of chaos they can claim only they can control.

Provoke the locals to justify more force to provoke the locals. Its the authoritarian playbook in the streets of LA.

Really Cool how nobody wanted to take this shit seriously

It would be helpful if media would state clearly that one purpose of doing deportation operations in blue states and cities was to provoke protests, and the purpose of sending the National Guard to LA was to make them escalate.

The conditions that have led to what’s happening in the US today exist in democracies around the world. They are an inevitable outcome of our collective failure to adapt to fundamental changes in the information ecosystem on which our democracies were originally built.

The International Criminal Court upholds justice in the face of the most serious crimes. It must remain free from pressure and true to its principles. We will always support its vital work and protect its independence.

The @ec.europa.eu fully supports the ICC and its officials. The ICC holds perpetrators of the world’s gravest crimes to account and gives victims a voice. It must be free to act without pressure. We will always stand for global justice and the respect of international law.

The European Union strongly supports the International Criminal Court, a cornerstone of international justice. The ICC does not stand against nations—it stands against impunity. We must protect its independence and integrity. The rule of law must prevail over the rule of power.

Watch me scramble in real time as I try to find the economic angle on the Musk-Trump tiff. (I think I found one, and the issues it highlights are terrifyingly important.)

Does this make you want to hold more or fewer dollar assets?

I'm just glad one of these men has the nuclear codes and the other has all our personal data.

Cuts have consequences, illustrated. As seen on TV 📺

Donald Trump sued me for racketeering, I won and did not back down. Donald Trump tried to have me investigated, I did not back down. Donald Trump named me in executive orders, I did not back down. If your lawyers are so afraid that they are cutting deals with Trump, you have the wrong lawyers.

We spoke to 15 teachers about how AI and ChatGPT is ruining their lives. "Honestly, if we ejected all the genAI tools into the sun, I would be quite pleased." www.404media.co/teachers-are...

I’m not anti-Israel or anti-Russia, I’m pro-international law, human rights, and fair democracy.

In the same 24 hour period Russia broke its own record by blindly hurling 472 Shahed drones at Ukrainian cities for no tactical purpose beyond terror and pain, and Ukraine executed a carefully planned infiltration strike decimating Russian strategic aviation. Draw your own conclusions.

Dear Russians, this is not a terrorist attack. This is war. Ukraine targeted your strategic bombers, not your homes. Your own armed forces are, on the other hand, constantly terrorising Ukrainian civilians.

When Ukraine doesn’t have the cards manages to build them.
