Five tests for nationalism in the next 10 days. Could be genuinely transformative. 🇷🇸 Serbia — Vucic lost (yay!) 🇧🇷 Brazil — Lula leads early count 🇮🇱 Israel — 27 Oct 🇧🇬 Bulgaria — 1 Nov 🇺🇸 USA — 3 Nov One down, one looks promising, three to go.

This sort of thing, and its implications for growing wealth inequality, are what the riots in Europe are about. Enough now. Did you know that the top marginal tax rate in the 1950s US -arguably the US's heyday - was over 90%? Because so many more people had money. It was fairly distributed.

Elon Musk is paying for Tommy Robinson's legal costs, £200,000 just for today. Robinson's owner is a billionaire economic migrant from South Africa. Who is Trump's little bitch. What does that make Robinson? The bitch of a bitch.

theguardian.comWhat are self-replicating 'AI worms', and why is Anthropic worried about them?Warnings about what artificial intelligence might do in the future – together with alarming reports of what it has gotten up to already – are being issued so quickly that even security experts have difficulty triaging what to worry about. Yet a report this week from Anthropic’s offensive research team grabbed attention by describing a new, practical threat, one devoid of human characteristics or apocalyptic musings. The red team, as such internal testers are called, said it created a malicious AI program that spread autonomously through internet-connected “smart” televisions and could do the same inside other ordinary devices. While machines running AI usually need a fair amount of computing power, the researchers said that their program split parts of itself among 15 televisions and was still able to function by using a bit of power from each. In addition to evoking the horcruxes that kept pieces of Lord Voldemort’s soul alive within objects in the Harry Potter series, the report alarmed some professionals because the generally weak security of smart televisions and many other “internet of things” devices would be very hard to correct, even with a concerted effort. “It’s something to worry about just like every other wave of...
