“Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was not, it’s safe to assume, a devoted Polymarket user. If he had been, the Iranian leader might still be alive,” @saahildesai.bsky.social argues. He examines how insider trading on Polymarket risks creating a new national-security threat:
Who could possibly have predicted that a company whose slogan is "cheat on everything" would cheat?

The feature, which launched in August, claims to help you “sharpen your message through the lens of industry-relevant perspectives.” When users select the “expert review” button in the Grammarly sidebar, it analyzes their writing and surfaces AI-generated suggestions “inspired by” related experts. Those “industry-relevant perspectives” include the likes of Stephen King, Neil deGrasse Tyson, and Carl Sagan, among many others. The Verge found numerous other tech journalists named in the feature, as well, including former Verge editors Casey Newton and Joanna Stern, former Verge writer Monica Chin, Wired’s Lauren Goode, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman and Jason Schreier, the New York Times’ Kashmir Hill, The Atlantic’s Kaitlyn Tiffany, PC Gamer’s Wes Fenlon, Gizmodo’s Raymond Wong, Digital Foundry founder Richard Leadbetter, Tom’s Guide editor-in-chief Mark Spoonauer, former Rock Paper Shotgun editor-in-chief Katharine Castle, and former IGN news director Kat Bailey. The descriptions for some experts contain inaccuracies, such as outdated job titles, which could have been accurately updated had Superhuman asked those people for permission to reference their work.

Oliver Darcy comments on new mogul man David Ellison.
"His well-rehearsed talking points are, really, meaningless platitudes. Every news organization wants to be in the 'trust business.' Every news organization wants to be in the 'truth business.'"
There are reasons why the trust is gone.

Make no mistake: Dario Amodei is a full-throated supporter of war, and Claude is being used in Iran as we speak. Dario Amodei believes part of Anthropic's purpose is "defeating autocratic adversaries," and otherwise "doesn't have views."

Netanyahu smiles then laughs, not because he finds it amusing, but because he can't maintain a poker face.Note also, Netanyahu's nodding up-and-down (in agreement), looking down, & closing his eyes – when Hannity says, "The Prime Minister of Israel dragged Trump into it". Guilty. #BodyLanguageExpert
OpenAI makes changes to ‘opportunistic and sloppy’ Pentagon deal ft.trib.al/hj206Gn
WSJ ‹ Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei Is Dead:.... Last Updated: Feb. 28, 2026 at 9:41pm ET • LIVE 1 hour ago U.S. Strikes in Middle East Use Anthropic, Hours After Trump Ban
WSJ PATRICK SISON/ASSOCIATED PRESS Within hours of declaring that the federal government will end its use of artificial-intelligence tools made by tech company Anthropic, President Trump launched a major air attack in Iran with the help of those very same tools. Commands around the world, including U.S. Central Command in the Middle East, use Anthropic's Claude AI tool, people familiar with the matter confirmed. Centcom declined to comment about specific systems being used in its ongoing operation against Iran. The command uses the tool for intelligence assessments, target identification and simulating battle scenarios even as tension between the company and Pentagon ratcheted up, the people said, highlighting how embedded the AI tools are in military operations. The administration and Anthropic have been feuding for months over how its AI models can be used by the Pentagon. Trump on Friday ordered agencies to stop working with the company and the Defense Department designated it a security threat and risk to its supply chain.
lol even though they banned them the government used Claude anyway. Slop strategies for the Epic Bacon War. This could not have gone worse for Altman

The regime won’t let you have clean hands if you work for them, even if they’re punishing you. This was leaked on purpose, is uncomfortably close to confessing to a war crime, and highlights once again how tech’s unthinking growth directly leads to dead kids.
Executive presence is more than projecting confidence; it involves building genuine connections through focused attention.
Leaders who have the greatest impact make others feel seen, hopeful, and optimistic about the future.
What does presence mean to you?

Pres Trump told me tonight the US had identified possible candidates to take over Iran, but they were killed in the initial attack. "The attack was so successful it knocked out most of the candidates," Trump told me. "It's not going to be anybody that we were thinking of because they are all dead. Second or third place is dead."
complete insanity
💥 No president in the modern era has ordered more military strikes against as many different countries as Donald Trump.
He's attacked 7 nations, three of which had never been targeted by U.S. military strikes. He authorized more individual air strikes in 2025 than Biden did in four years.

We can guess why Netflix bailed.
“Trump’s position is that the government cannot pressure Facebook to take down anti-vaccine posts, but it can coerce Anthropic into making a version of Claude that kills people without a human in the loop.”
