Defense Undersecretary Emil Michael: Anthropic’s Claude would ‘pollute’ defense supply chain YouTube video by CNBC Television

The actor Babak Tafti's portrayal of Emil Michael in Superpumped was pretty chartable compared to how charismatic the real guy actually comes across. youtu.be/l-CKzZRZ424?...

Have to think that a not insignificant factor in Clyburn running for reelection is to keep his endorsement as relevant as possible come the 2028 presidential primaries

“Do you mind if I get off the teleprompter?” Trump yells out before moving on to an attack on Gavin Newsom.

Right as he said that, an elderly woman in the front row collapsed. She had just moved up to the barrier to lean on it before going down.

Character.AI Still Hasn't Fixed Its School Shooter Problem We Identified in 2024 Character.AI continues to host chatbots explicitly modeled after real school shooters — a clear issue Futurism flagged more than a year ago.

In December 2024, we reported that Character.AI was hosting many popular chatbots modeled after real mass killers.

As of today: CAI is *still* hosting dozens of these bots. They're discoverable via simple keyword search, and often housed under killers' full names.

I talked to dozens of experts in government, academia, cybersecurity, and industry about exactly this scenario last year and not only did not one of them think I was being alarmist, many brought it up unprompted and many said there was zero chance it hadn’t already happened

I miss being able to share crazy reporting tidbits I was getting over the phone with my pals in a newsroom.

Now, I sit in my apartment, do a little fist pump, and go about my business. Just not something you can recreate as a freelancer, and it honestly makes me pretty sad sometimes.

This has been the whole thing with Elon’s borderline child soldiers strategy re DOGE:

The more evidence that’s been uncovered (mostly by journalists, shoutout WIRED etc), the more it’s become abundantly clear that these guys have no idea how much shit they could be in, or how to defend themselves

Btw this unnamed DOGE staffer did get a lawyer at some point to respond to WaPo. I’m making a more general point about more general potential crimes

A question I’ve long had: Who promised these dudebros a pardon? Or at the very least, where did they get that idea from?

Some DOGE folks thought it was smart to get a lawyer, but clearly not everyone

Exclusive: U.S. dismissed Ukraine deal for anti-Iran drone tech last year Snubbing Ukraine's offer ranks as one of the U.S.'s biggest tactical miscalculations before the war, officials say.

SCOOP: In August, Ukraine tried to sell battle-proven tech for downing Iranian drones — & made a PowerPoint showing how it could protect US & its allies in a war

But the Trump adm dismissed it until now

And the focus from Caine on the more recent strikes is on the “upstream” drone capabilities

Notable that Caine is saying we are mainly using fighter jets and helicopters to shoot down these drones that cost about as much as a decent used car
