Inside the US’s AI plans for defence and future warfare The US military used Anthropic's Claude AI, but after Anthropic refused to remove guardrails against mass surveillance and autonomous weapons, the Pentagon cancelled the contract and turned to OpenAI.

In war game sims AIs choose to launch nukes in 90% of scenarios.

This could be how how AI actually destroys the world. Not because it’s intelligent, but because enough humans in power issued total cognitive surrender to it

I know this last week has been a lot but just to unpack:

The US is taking steps to ensure Russia gets additional funding for its war on Ukraine in an attempt to ease a global energy crisis it itself created by attacking Iran based on a Bible promise to Israel.

Israel launches huge strikes against south Beirut after mass evacuation order Residents fled Lebanese capital in panic before assaults on claimed Hezbollah targets while Tehran continues to launch retaliatory attacks

Forcing half a million people to leave their homes and then destroying their homes is ethnic cleansing.

Hardly breaking news, but this regime is chock full of mouthbreathing morons.

"Tap into our newfound oil in Venezuela".

As in 350k bbl/day of yucky heavy crude that only a few refineries can handle globally?

That's going to help offset 20 million bbl/day of all crude grades from the Gulf is it?

Lebanon: Israel orders everyone in Beirut's Dahiyeh to leave Tens of thousands already displaced from south Lebanon as Israeli strikes intensify

This does two things: It tells a million people to leave their homes or die. And it cuts the rest of the city off from the airport.

Tell me how this is proportionate? Why are we supporting this demented regime? @darrenpjones.bsky.social www.middleeasteye.net/news/lebanon...

Missiles fired by US, Israel hit two schools near Tehran: Iranian media The latest attack comes six days after the deadliest single one during the war on Iran, which killed 165 people.

Nvidia stops production of chips intended for Chinese market US group moves production away from H200s to latest Vera Rubin products

Hi. The "world's most valuable company" - propping up the US stockmarket - concedes it can't sell its products to China, so doubles down on Taiwanese production for Western buyers who are incredibly overleveraged, all in bullet's reach of China

Globalisation is under threat from Iran war – and Britain is uniquely vulnerable The economic ripples from the Iran war will soon become waves, engulfing everything from energy prices to food supplies

Russia killed globalisation - remember 2022 when you had to chose between eating and heating?

That was because of our governments' addiction to fossil fuels. They were lobbied to switch one supply to another (at astronomical cost)

Why are memories so short?

The US started a war without end in Iran and it's going to cause untold death and misery across the region (as well as US service deaths)

It will also make everyone who isn't a millionaire in the West poorer, and will make Trump less domestically popular, if that was popular. Idiots.

In many ways the decision to end globalisation - either by Russia or the West's response to Ukraine, made such cascading supply chain crunches inevitable.

Part of the lessons resolutely not learned by leaders post Covid
