How My Reporting on the Columbia Protests Led to My Deportation As an Australian who wrote about the demonstrations while on campus, I gave my phone a superficial clean before flying to the U.S. I underestimated what I was up against.

It's important for Europeans, and others from visa-waiver countries, to understand they don't have freedom of speech rights when visiting the United States.

The Trump regime is still deporting visitors for critical comments made online, because they can.

Starting Monday LinkedIn will begin using data from your profiles/posts to train AI. If you live in EU/EEA/Switzerland/Canada/Hong Kong your data is subject to being used this way, but you can opt out. Go to Settings/Privacy/Data for Generative AI Improvement and toggle the switch to off

Day to day: the user experience of getting a direct answer for simple things compared to scrolling a bloated blog post, with ads and cookie banners. It would be better to solve the state of the web but hey, it's a workaround.

"Employees are using AI tools to create low-effort, passable looking work that ends up creating more work for their coworkers.[...] it shifts the burden of the work downstream, requiring the receiver to interpret, correct, or redo the work. In other words, it transfers the effort

White House press conference with Trump, RFK Jr, Marty Makary, and Dr. Oz, for fuck's sake

It is representative of a *profound* failure of a country that this group of people are up there talking about medicine and science at all

Beyond the message of the talk, the insights on the parliamentary monitoring system are super interesting!

Europe stands with Estonia in the face of Russia’s latest violation of our airspace.

We will respond to every provocation with determination while investing in a stronger Eastern flank.

I've been researching the Microsoft cloud for almost 7 years now. A few months ago that research resulted in the most impactful vulnerability I will probably ever find: a token validation flaw allowing me to get Global Admin in any Entra ID tenant. Blog: dirkjanm.io/obtaining-gl...

Defeating Nondeterminism in LLM Inference Reproducibility is a bedrock of scientific progress. However, it’s remarkably difficult to get reproducible results out of large language models. For example, you might observe that asking ChatGPT the...

How a Top Secret SEAL Team 6 Mission Into North Korea Fell Apart

Wow

"Flashlights from the bow swept over the water. Fearing that they had been spotted, the SEALs opened fire. Within seconds, everyone on the North Korean boat was dead."

EPFL, ETH Zurich, and CSCS released Apertus, Switzerland's first large-scale, multilingual language model (LLM). As a fully open LLM, it serves as a building block for developers and organizations to create their own applications: www.cscs.ch/science/comp... @ethz.ch #AI #Apertus #AIforGood

ChatGPT just shipped the exact memory feature I've always wanted - automatic memory that's scoped to a specific project simonwillison.net/2025/Aug/22/...

In a somewhat better world this ChatGPT suicide case should at minimum trigger resignations from OpenAI top brass. This won't happen of course, showing what kind of people we are dealing with there.

And yes, this case is different from finding similar information via search

Still more evidence that the US under Trump is an enemy of Europe.

This is a magnificent read.

"Every warning about AGI danger is also a pitch deck for more funding"

"The future is already here. You just have to stop looking for it in the wrong place."

I never managed to do any meaningful work on the train, I need a comfortable setup for it. With chatpgt I can (let it) work on small side projects I never allocated time for.

FYI I recommend this series of blog posts on EU dependence on US clouds

UK is beta testing all the shittiest ideas, first brexit and now this. At least other countries will see the consequences before wanting to follow.
