Watched EDGE OF TOMORROW last night. As time loop sci-fi goes, it was fun enough, definitely helped by the charisma of Cruise and Blunt. Screenplay by Jez Butterworth!

I have written a piece articulating what I believe is a reasonably new position on AI, or at least one extremely underrepresented in the discourse, and I hope people will read it. The full piece is behind the New Scientist paywall, but I will share some snippets www.newscientist.com/article/2516...

26.02.2026 15:38 — 👍 2 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0I just interviewed the commander of a drone unit in Ukraine and I asked about the gamefication of the war and if flying a drone was just like playing a video game. Afterwards the press officer emailed and said if I thought it was just like a video game I'm welcome to go out there and try it.
