Meta’s AI-glasses peep show.

“At one end, the glasses are marketed as an everyday assistant – a voice in the frame that tells you what you are seeing. At the other end, people in Nairobi sit annotating the most intimate moments the camera captures.”

The goals of the United States and the goals of Israel in Iran are irreconcilable.

Venice and the fate of the Jews The history of the Venetian Ghetto complicates the notion that Jewish history is merely a chronicle of suffering.

“The case of Venetian Jewry offers good ground for Graetz and Baron, Heraclitus and Democritus, to lock horns once again.”

Por que todo clérigo iraniano se parece com senador do Centrão?

This Tech Company Turned Into a Resistance Icon Overnight. The Reality Is Much Darker. The A.I. firm behind Claude is far from an ethical company.

Anthropic's defiance of the Pentagon's A.I. orders was undeniably brave, a welcome contrast with Big Tech's general approach to the Trump admin. but the resistance folks shooting Claude to the top of the app charts need to understand that Anthropic is not very principled, and is not your friend:

E não estamos nem falando no tamanho da onda migratória até uma facção da Guarda Revolucionária fincar pé no poder. Guerra civil na Síria (21 milhões): 6,5 milhões de refugiados. Irã de 2026 (85 milhões estimados): ?

Um turista com um celular na mão perde toda a noção do espaço pessoal alheio.

Before the Iraq War, majorities in both parties believed the falsehood that Saddam Hussein had aided the 9/11 terror attacks on the United States

Speaking of the Iraq War, the graph below is an indictment of the mainstream press two decades ago.

If Dems pegged the ongoing economic deterioration to the strikes, voters wouldn’t bat an eyelash.

Not the invasion of Iraq, and the Trump administration didn’t succeed in selling its pretenses, which means that the national mood might sour more quickly.

Iran Strike Poll: No Rally Effect and Deep Partisan Divide A new Morning Consult survey of 1,618 registered voters reveals a nation split on Trump's Iran strikes — 41% call them necessary, 42% want diplomacy, and 63% are worried about gas prices.

The latest polls show more disapproval than the heat-of-the-moment Morning Consult poll (Feb 28): “41% of registered voters say strikes necessary vs. 42% who prefer diplomacy.”

We texted 1,000 Americans about U.S. strikes in Iran. Here’s what they said. Fifty-two percent of Americans oppose the strikes, and two-thirds say the Trump administration hasn’t clearly explained the goals of the military action.

The Washington Post flash poll: “Americans oppose Trump ordering airstrikes on Iran by 52 percent to 39 percent; 9 percent say they are unsure. Opponents are more passionate, with about 4 in 10 strongly opposing the strikes, whereas just over 2 in 10 strongly support them.”
