Adam Neumann's wife is building a Florida elementary school inspired by the teachings of a Chabad rabbi who once apologized for dancing with Pope Francis.

Using hallucinating LLMs to rapid fire select bombing sites for a massive illegal interventionist campaign is one of the great novel horrors of our age. Congratulations, guys.

This Tech Company Turned Into a Resistance Icon Overnight. The Reality Is Much Darker. The A.I. firm behind Claude is far from an ethical company.

Anthropic's defiance of the Pentagon's A.I. orders was undeniably brave, a welcome contrast with Big Tech's general approach to the Trump admin. but the resistance folks shooting Claude to the top of the app charts need to understand that Anthropic is not very principled, and is not your friend:

Project Maven lives. I wonder if Google leadership regrets giving up their contract.

The Trump administration fired Alexis Goldstein for confronting members of DOGE last year over access to sensitive personal information of U.S. residents at a key watchdog agency. Now she's running for Congress.

I agree the U.S.-Israel strikes on Iran raise concerns. Where David Trone and I differ is my concerns don’t end at the lack of Congressional authorization for this war.

The path to nuclear nonproliferation is diplomacy, not bombing elementary schools and murdering kids abroad.

Prediction Marketing The prediction market boom is liquidity extraction before a liquidity crisis.

Ahead of the State of the Union address, I wanted to share my thoughts on the credulous coverage of β€œprediction markets” and the grim economic structure that coverage has ignored. Prediction market platforms are a pit stop on a crisis…. ayeshaasiddiqi.substack.com/p/prediction...

Our FP establishment is irrelevant, the press largely captured, and the MAGA faithful truly believe it is all 4D chess. The only conclusion you can come to is that we've all lost the plot and descended into various fever dreams while huffing copium out of a rattle can.

The C.I.A. Helped Pinpoint a Gathering of Iranian Leaders. Then Israel Struck.

I don't think the NYT reporters here know that they are -- this time, with typical deference and some delight in the derring-do of clandestine ops -- describing a close criminal partnership, collaboration in war crimes.

Her husband wanted to use ChatGPT to create sustainable housing. Then it took over his life. Kate Fox says Joe Ceccanti was the β€˜most hopeful person’ before he started spending 12 hours a day with a chatbot

β€œIt’s difficult to understand the scale of the problem, but OpenAI itself estimates that more than a million people every week show suicidal intent when chatting with ChatGPT.”
