when they claim AI will reduce workloads, remember that Dr Richard J Gatling invented the Gatling Gun in 1861 with the belief that because it could do the work of several soldiers, armies would get smaller and fewer people would die in war

Good research. Agents will exploit vulnerabilities without prompting in order to complete goals. They are trained to be persistent and to sidestep errors, may not understand organization / personal boundaries, and what is acceptable behavior across them. Can be considered a type of reward hacking.

The sheer strategic stupidity of bailing Russia out of its economic hole by launching a war that entirely foreseeably spikes the oil price - and then having no minesweepers in place to deal with the foreseeable fallout. Rank incompetence.

This from @marinetraffic on X is interesting. Basically, there's good evidence that someone is doing the opposite of a ghost fleet: spoofing fake ship signals to make it *look like* there's Strait of Hormuz crossings happening when there aren't.

What I love about Reddit is that you get these wonderful glimpses into completely sealed epistemic chambers on the same site. If you dropped this screengrab on r/AskHistorians I think it might kill someone. Certainly it would cause several ulcers.

AuthN/Z is always a #security minefield & MCP adds even more complexity with agents, remote servers, and transitive trust.

This Teleport-sponsored deep dive breaks down attack vectors & why each authN/Z step is a potential trust boundary.

If anyone is friends with any Georgian air traffic controllers, buy them a nice bottle of wine. As guardians of pretty much the only narrow gap still available between Europe and Asia that avoids both Iran, the Gulf, Ukraine and Russia, they are under some substantial pressure.

I'm constantly trying (/failing) to get this point across.

If you're a trained expert in a field, then it may be worthwhile to question the scientific consensus of your peers.

If you're not, the scientific consensus is absolutely the best you can do and it's arbitrary foolishness to disregard it.

Raytheon Executive: I know you’re skeptical about buying American again. But hear me out. The MIM-104 Patriot is the only surface to air missile system with a proven track record of success against the US Air Force.

*very* striking to me that trump's two big losses at SCOUTS--first the fed, now tariffs--are both about core macroeconomic institutions, namely free trade and an independent central bank. "go nuts on culture, go nuts on immigration, but DO NOT TOUCH the neoliberal consensus"

My friends, if Amazon, with all its governance and change control, is getting these kinds of outcomes, (respectfully) you have no chance.
