They both did it, it was a joint effort, it’s one of the crazier things to happen in the national security space (which is really saying something) and every government should be scrambling to reduce dependence on—and as soon as possible get off—Starlink/shield or any Musk product, including the US.
BREAKING WSJ: Elon Musk ordered the slowdown of the military-grade version of Starlink that Ukraine relied on.

german media has btw talked non-stop the last few weeks about how the leftist party die linke has a giant problem with antisemitism
Fresh AfD data leak needs more time to get fully analyzed but first glimpse shows all the classics. Party supporters use racist slurs and share antisemitic theories of Jewish world domination; there are jokes about turning refugees into handbags and boots... www.heistberlin.com/news/afd-lea...

Rare and small victory celebration time: evil genocidal tech giant Palantir is officially excluded from the EPFL Forum (recruiting event), thanks to mass mobilisation. The Forum organisers stand by their invitation, however. 🤦♀️🤯 Thanks to everyone who protested! More context: clads.ch/en/condemnat...

Excellent thread. Key point: AI favours stuff it has seen before, so is inherently incapable of genuine innovation; it is not intelligent in a human sense. PS - very pleased I am a retired academic 😉
If there is no interview stage, it will be impossible to assess the actual competence, knowledge and ability of the applicants. AI is trained on pre-existing content, and is by definition incapable of true innovation. It does not think, it is not intelligent: it plagiarises and iterates, badly. ...
In case it wasn't clear, academia is crumbling under the enormous flood of AI-generated content. The latest victim is the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) flagship EU postdoctoral fellowships. The number of submissions has more than doubled in the past 3 years.
The academic grant system is extremely broken. 21.627 submissions... That is how many proposals the Marie Curie Postdoctoral Fellowships received this month. Two years ago it was 10,360. The budget did not move. The success rate went from around 16% to something close to 7%.
Unless academia learns to protect itself against AI generated papers and proposals, it will be overwhelmed, polluted and discredited by pure slop. marie-sklodowska-curie-actions.ec.europa.eu/whats-new/ne...

To salvage this program @ec.europa.eu Commissioner Ekatarina Zaharieva should take the following measures immediately: 1) demand AI use disclosure form with all proposals, as is now standard for articles. 2) enable reviewers to detect AI generated content, and give it lower marks. ...

21627 applications. Nothing to celebrate here. Impossible to evaluate fairly & safely. Neither the science (too diverse & possibly LLM generated) nor the soft criteria (likely LLM generated). Without an interview stage - a security risk! marie-sklodowska-curie-actions.ec.europa.eu/whats-new/ne...

It’s almost as if there is a well funded denial industry and fossil fuel lobby trying to cast doubt on the impact of fossil fuel companies.

to be clear, the admin is alleged to have deported AT LEAST 25,447 individuals TO COUNTRIES THAT ARE NOT THEIR OWN with, evidently, ZERO PROTECTIONS. this is a scandal and crime of historic proportions.
the @forbidden-stories.bsky.social investigation is so deeply important. put the illegality to one side. the trump admin is brazenly sending ppl to third countries, lacking any cxn, without any guarantee they won't be sent on for torture, abuse, persecution... it's horrible.

It's official! I'm *permanently* banned from X for tweeting "TLDR: Fascism." (appeal denied) What an honor—and a sign that the Silicon Valley billionaires feel threatened by my book. (One of my final viral posts featured this cover.) Pre-order here! www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Ne...
The CEO of Palantir posted a fascist manifesto on X. I pointed out that it was fascist—which resulted in a permanent suspension from X (my second time!). So, when you hear the tweeters complaining that BlueSky is intolerant, remember why many of us came here in the first place.

My two most viral tweets, I believe. @gilduran.com , if this gets me banned from X, it was worth it. 🙇♀️
If they had held signs saying "I support Palestine Action" they would all have been arrested. Since they were just a violent anti-migrant fascist group, they're fine. Cool cool cool cool.
