Claude goes to war in Iran: "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."

Are we really still expected to work tomorrow as if the world isn’t ending

WSJ reporting that the U.S. used Claude for the air strikes in Iran. Centcom has been using Claude "for intelligence assessments, target identification and simulating battle scenarios" www.wsj.com/livecoverage...

A war of aggression by the United States and Israel that is without question a manifest and severe violation of international law.

And not in the interest of the people of Iran. If the government falls or is weakened, @msjamshidi.bsky.social rightly warns:

"this the start of civil war in Iran"

Upon submission of my book manuscript this Friday, pls don’t mention anything to do with footnotes to me ever again

Are we supposed to be excited that the least believable person on the planet is going to tell us whether aliens exist?

I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them

Bad Bunny’s closing messages during his Super Bowl performance:

“The only thing more powerful than hate is love”
“Together, we are America”

Ofcom has just confirmed that xAI (and therefore the standalone Grok app) is not in scope for their investigation of X. They need to urgently rethink this: Grok produces sexualised images of people without their consent that can be easily shared and used for public humiliation.

Epstein files: Queen's University Belfast cuts ties with George Mitchell over Epstein links George Mitchell chaired the talks which led to the Good Friday Agreement in 1998.

A new statement from Epstein survivors:

"Once again, survivors are having their names and identifying information exposed, while the men who abused us remain hidden and protected. That is outrageous."

A sreenshot from an Epstein file. The screenshot is an FBI email chain containing an allegation that Donald Trump engaged in sexual activities with a child.

At least one of the newly released Epstein file is already down.

This link no longer appears to work (www.justice.gov/epstein/file...)

It contained an FBI email chain outlining an allegation against Trump involving sexual activities with a child.

This is a screenshot from that email chain.

The UK government didn't want you to see this report on ecosystem collapse. I'm not surprised | George Monbiot It took an FOI request to bring this national security assessment to light. For ‘doomsayers’ like us, it is the ultimate vindication, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Please spread this far and wide, as stories don't get much bigger than this. When the government blocks even the intelligence services from telling us we're heading for environmental catastrophe, you know we have a problem. A very big problem.
Thank you.

Democrats have been debating how to handle next week's vote on a bill that funds ICE.

With today's shooting, that debate should be over. Standing up and using every iota of your limited power is not just the right thing to do; it’s the righteous thing to do.

To anybody still using X: sexual abuse content is the final straw, it’s time to leave | Marie Le Conte It was hard for me to quit Elon Musk’s poisoned platform, but I urge others to do the same, especially in light of Grok’s imagery of women and children, says journalist Marie Le Conte
