For anyone who has followed European & Italian banking, this is just such an incredible outcome -- I think 5 years ago 0 people would have predicted that Monte dei Paschi would be absurdly profitable and swimming in excess capital

« Opération Epic Fury. » Des gens vont mourir sous les bombes, pourrir vifs dans les camps de l’exode, se faire torturer à mort par un régime qui va voir des espions partout. Le tout dans une opération au nom digne d’un film de Chuck Norris.

Interesting to see if this provokes a consumer backlash against ChatGPT.

I spent yesterday afternoon teaching my students about the Trump AI strategy that Dean largely wrote, with additional material from his substack. This is a remarkable statement for him to make.

Yacht rot! Yot racht?

The best descriptor for this era is 'vandalism'. These people have decided to break stuff, just because

“Much more likely is a short to medium-length campaign to degrade the capabilities of the IRGC and the paramilitary Basij force in order to reduce the repressive capacity of the Iranian state... That wouldn’t be as easy in reality as it is on social media.”

A classic of the genre.

And then there were none.

At the rate wannabe “warrior” Hegseth is going, eventually US military personnel will never be allowed off base lest they see, hear, or read something he thinks might trigger actual thought.

Jack Shanahan, retired US Air Force General and first Director of the Department of Defense Joint Artificial Intelligence Center:

Southern California air board rejected pollution rules after AI-generated flood of comments The opposition appeared overwhelming: Tens of thousands of emails poured into Southern California's top air pollution authority as its board weighed a June proposal to phase out gas-powered appliances...

They were going to pass rules to phase out gas stoves, until they received 20,000 public comments against the regulations. Except, oops, it turns out the comments were generated by AI.

Je me posais la même question. Apparemment il était devenu très virulent sur son site perso et l’un de ses bouquins (que je n’ai pas lu) est un pensum très reac.
Hyperion, Endymion, l’échiquier du mal c’est super. Ilium et Olympos je n’ai pas accroché. Il a fait d’autres livres sympa.

Who loses from the Anthropic fight? Maybe Elon Musk and Alex Karp. Arbitrary state power can cut in many directions

What Hegseth wants to do to Anthropic, future presidents, or even this one, can do to Elon Musk or Alex Karp. Always worth reading @himself.bsky.social www.programmablemutter.com/p/who-loses-...

Economists: you know I love you, but I think it's time you gave it a rest with all these "which jobs are most exposed to AI?" analyses. www.ft.com/content/8d3b...

Türkiye has quietly been staging a drastic economic comeback, and much of the credit has to go to President Erdoğan for being willing to keep firing the state's chief statisticians until he found the right fit

Israelis No Longer Ahead in Americans' Middle East Sympathies Israelis no longer lead the Palestinians in Americans' sympathies, with independents' shift toward the Palestinians driving most of the change.

Gallup finds 41% of Americans now sympathize more with Palestinians and 36% with Israelis. Pretty stunning reversal of decades.

Quand tu viens d’envoyer un message un peu sec à un étudiant qui ne s’est pas présenté à son oral de rattrapage sur zoom, et que tu apprends ensuite qu’il est à Guadalajara au Mexique sans eau, électricité, qu’il ne dort pas depuis une semaine à cause des explosions et coups de feu
