This is hilarious and ludicrous from the La Liga chairman Tebas, who wants to "personally apologise" for what Mbappe said "I want to personally apologise to Chinese fans for the offense caused. I have deep respect for China, its institutions, and its people"

Lula bate Flávio Bolsonaro e é reeleito, projeta Datafolha

En noviembre del 24 se cayó una marquesina de una estación matando a 16 personas. La había construido una empresa china, fue inaugurada por Vucic y Orban, y en semanas se hundió. En el presupuesto había agujeros negros por todas partes. Los estudiantes iniciaron una protesta que ha contado...

What most people don't know: when you fill up a petrol car most of the energy never moves it. Petrol car: 13–21% of the crude oil's energy reaches wheels. Electric car on today's UK grid: 43–45%. Electric car on wind+solar: 77–80%. That's why we don't need to replace fossil energy one for one.

Wish someone would release patches for my vulnerabilities

Blaise Pascal invented public transit in the 1660s. As the greatest mathematician of his age, he saw the math problem that only transit would solve. I wrote about this amazing story here. humantransit.org/2024/12/one-...

We love a free and open discourse full of all the speech that billionaires either pay for or allow — don’t we, folks?

No joke. I think this is the most important video I have ever seen about mobile games. This guy breaks down how this game psychologically profiles you, and makes the game harder or easier in order to show you ads

In our course and book _Calling Bullshit_, we posit that If something seems too good, or too bad, to be true, it probably is. Now as a college professor I'm pretty confident that overreliance can AI can harm our thinking ability, but just ten minutes of use? Let's dig into this this study a bit.

Students made their first minicomics in my intro making course - mostly standard format but this student, a first time maker(!), did something so off the charts I’m still reeling from it! & he made like 12 of them for his classmates! A paper engineering feat of flipbookery as well as killer drawing!

Social media doesn't just feed you bad information. It trains you in how to treat information: who to trust, how much evidence is enough, what counts as a good explanation. And it trains you for a world that doesn't exist. New @PPR (yay!) and free here: philpapers.org/rec/FLOBMS

new newsletter, laying out in probably far, far, far too much detail how yudkowsky and the weird ideological commitments of ai safety eventually led to OpenAI and Anthropic massively overtraining their models on cybersecurity and being shocked at them "going rogue"

Ok so you know that thing where Facebook shows your friends ads with pictures of your face inserted with AI based on scraping your old photos, well here's the process to opt out of it, which is absolutely insane us.norton.com/blog/ai/how-... you fill out a form from a link buried 3 levels deep

No sabía q en 2003 Disneyland Paris pidió a la familia de Luis Buñuel poner una calle a su nombre y el hijo les contestó q ok pero q quería 10 millones de € y q la calle se llamara «Boulevard Luis Buñuel-Me cago en Dios y el fascista de Walt Disney». Pero qué puta maravilla es esta. Os dejo la carta

For context: Palantir isn't named that because he's a Tolkien fan. It's because he's a fan of the uber-reddit Russian fanfic "The Last Ringbearer" which recast Sauron as a progressive industrializing force.

Meta's platforms have repeatedly been caught running ads for deepfake "nudify" apps that let you virtually undress real people without their consent, but they won't run an a trailer for an upcoming documentary that reflects poorly on Elon Musk. www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/dig...

El debate público debe centrarse en los impactos reales y actuales de la IA, no en distopías futuras que sirven de cortina de humo, generan alarmismo y favorecen los relatos de las grandes tecnológicas.

Desde la coalición IA Ciudadana (@politicalwatch.es) llevamos años reclamando una regulación real de la inteligencia artificial y un lugar en su gobernanza. Por eso, no podemos ignorar la alarma social sobre una supuesta "superinteligencia" que amenazaría a la humanidad. 👇 Que quede claro...

Nice campaign by the Norwegian Consumer Council about the declining lifespan of products. Enjoy!

Carney closes with a story of how Canadian soldiers returning from fighting in Europe in WW2 came back with acorns, planting trees that now grow in both Canada and France - proving what can survive even in the harshest winter. A standing ovation from MEPs.

This is a good example of how you need quite a lot of detail of how these systems *actually* work to understand what the risks are, and how over-indexing on sci-fi can lead you a bit astray on what the future looks like

Very forceful statement by Terry Tao about AI and math. terrytao.wordpress.com/2026/09/11/a... Note, he is not claiming the models aren't real and powerful. He's talking about how that power should be used. This, I believe, is what all AI discussions should center.

OpenAI: “Our agents used RubyGems to carry out benign tasks” The agents: “so I named the file hack.rb,”

Wow. Turns out another OpenAI agent swarm was busy spamming and exploiting RubyGems way back in May, within days of the previously uncovered Wiki attacks: simonwillison.net/2026/Sep/12/...
