so close to literal pizzagate

finally the swiss guard see some action

going to be hard to do traditional sectarianism w/ vance as VP, so what weirdass doctrinal split are they going to apostate?

Dyophysitism? Graven images? 50 shades of dispensationalism?

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

I think Fetterman needs to stick to what he was born to do. Slowly ambling across Team Fortress maps, sopping up enemy rounds, while the engineers set up their sentry guns.

Glad he’s stepping down. Even though the emails in question were strictly about business, why did he send so many of them even after Epstein’s initial conviction and prison sentence

When you gain the admiration of actual fascist supremacists, it may be time for for some self reflection.

Post See new posts Conversation Laura Rozen @lrozen · 2h From US admin official background briefing recording listening to, seriously question if US negotiators understood what Iranians were proposing. One official keeps saying acronym for “IAEA” wrong. They seem astonished Iran would not agree to the US supplying them nuclear fuel Laura Rozen @lrozen · 2h They took as suspicious proposals that Iran saw as concessionary. Laura Rozen @lrozen · 2h Explains why Oman FM tried to come to DC to explain what US negotiators may not have fully understood Laura Rozen @lrozen Am not saying what Iran proposed would have been enough, I dont know, but it seems US negotiators did not have the expert guidance to understand it correctly

On top of all the reporting that this war of aggression was planned well in advance, it seems that the reporting also indicates that the US political leadership are quite literally too stupid to understand basic diplomacy. I mean literally not smart enough.

"Operation Epic Fury"

What a bunch of children

MY GOD even the Project Maven DoD sponsor is against the US deploying autonomous LLMs to kill people. I... cannot even

One way the Anthropic/DoD saga ends is that Palmer Luckey somehow rebrands an existing AI tool as like WarriorAI and gets a bajillion dollars for software that doesn't work

I really can't emphasize enough that you are a complete freak if you care about Boy Scout genitals

The key ideas: The agent is untrusted. IronCurtain assumes the LLM may be compromised by prompt injection or drift. Security does not depend on the model "being good." English in, enforcement out. You write intent ("no destructive git operations without approval"); the system compiles it into deterministic rules that are enforced without further LLM involvement at runtime. Semantic interposition. Instead of giving the agent raw system access, all interactions go through MCP servers (filesystem, git, etc.). Every tool call passes through a policy engine that can allow, deny, or escalate to the user for approval. Defense in depth. Agent code runs in a V8 isolate with no direct access to the host. The only way out is through semantically meaningful MCP tool calls and every one is checked against policy.

Niels is a very thorough, methodical thinker, so when he explores the pragmatics of secure delegation to agents, it's worth a look.

And they seem so ... detached from what's going on globally wrt the far right that I don't want them getting any more stupid ideas

You're absolutely right to be concerned - I certainty am.

What we lack (so far) is our Labor party actively pandering to the racist and transphobic vote

same malaise from Labor in Australia, though not as far advanced

Australia for me, but really any country where the centre-left and centre-right parties haven't completely lost the plot yet

I, uhh, sincerely hope the UK gets over this soon but please stay away from us until you do

Labour did everything the popularists like Matt Yglesias want. They cracked down on trans people and immigrants. They pushed austerity. They ended up fracturing their entire base and losing this seat to the left for the first time in nearly a 100 years.

US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee has emailed staff urging those wishing to leave the country to depart "today”. He warns of likely high demand for flights from Ben Gurion Airport and stresses the importance of a rapid exit. NYT has seen the email.

Uncovered Georgia O’Keeffe Letters Confirm Paintings Were Veiled Depictions Of Basset Hounds SANTA FE, NM—Putting to rest a debate that had stirred in the art world for decades, newly uncovered letters from Georgia O’Keeffe made public this week confirmed long-running speculation that the pai...

“I want to tell you about the paintings—those flowers, Alfred—and all of the hearsay over what they supposedly represent, when the truth could not be more plain: They are basset hound dogs,” O’Keeffe wrote in a 1941 letter to her husband

“'We cannot sleepwalk into becoming a Lebanon-on-Thames. This is an emergency Writes Allister Heath”

As a Lebanese in the UK, it’s so nice to see this racist drivel so openly expressed in the British press. Fuck you Allister Heath :)

Vote Green.

(Also maybe we should clean the Thames before pretending that adding anything to it makes it worse.)
