Over the last decade, there were two hypotheses: H1: the political right genuinely cared about threats to speech from the left. H2: they were using campus speech wars to impose their values and silence dissent. Today, the answer is clear, but I can't find any of the H1 people admitting their error.

an Anthropic employee discovered the algorithm and handed it off to them to figure out wtf it is
Acknowledgments and Methodology
How the result was originally found and shared with the authors. An Anthropic
employee used an internal research model to investigate open problems in the theory of cryptog-
raphy. One of them was about cryptographic constructions based on the average-case hardness
of Zero-k-Clique [LLV19, AHY25]. Claude was tasked with verifying and improving the construc-
tions, but instead developed this algorithm, first for the average case, then for the worst case.
The session used 16M output tokens with no human input.
Anthropic shared the algorithm with the authors in September 2026 under a confidentiality
agreement, offered compensation, and provided access to the public version of Claude.
Shared algorithm. The algorithm that was shared with the authors is essentially the algorithm
in Section 2, although presented differently and with other numerical parameters. A different
reduction from Exact Triangle to the problem of Section 2 was also shared, although the authors
did not include it here, and instead used known reductions to All-Edges Sparse Triangle, which
suffice and strengthen the connection. The authors derived the data structure version in Section 4
and its connection with Hinted OMv.

For a long time I've wanted a sense of how trump has or hasn't interacted with chatbots (we know he posts a lot of slop sure). And this TIME anecdote about Grok arguably leading Trump into war is just extremely bracing
Since returning to office, Trump has marveled at AI’s capabilities. He is increasingly in thrall to the tech executives courting him. In December 2025, Elon Musk returned to the Oval Office for a clandestine meeting. Trump spent hours asking Grok, Musk’s AI chatbot, questions about his presidency and legacy, according to an official present. At the time, Trump was ordering missile strikes against Venezuelan boats he alleged were smuggling drugs into the U.S. He asked Grok how Venezuelans would react if the U.S. captured Maduro. According to the official present, the chatbot responded that Maduro was a repressive and deeply unpopular dictator and that many Venezuelans would likely celebrate his downfall. After Trump ordered the mission to seize Maduro, the following month, celebrations broke out in the streets. Trump, according to officials, came away thinking Grok was ingenious.

FCC to journalists: cover the Iran war the way the president prefers or lose your broadcast license.
Brendan Carr tweet: Broadcasters that are running hoaxes and news distortions - also known as the fake news - have a chance now to correct course before their license renewals come up.  

The law is clear.  Broadcasters must operate in the public interest, and they will lose their licenses if they do not. 

And frankly, changing course is in their own business interests since trust in legacy media has now fallen to an all time low of just 9% and are ratings disasters.

The American people have subsidized broadcasters to the tune of billions of dollars by providing free access to the nation’s airwaves. 

It is very important to bring trust back into media, which has earned itself the label of fake news.

When a political candidate is able to win a landslide election victory after in the face of hoaxes and distortions, there is something very wrong.  It means the public has lost faith and confidence in the media.  And we can’t allow that to happen.

Time for change!

Trump "Truth":

Yet again, an intentionally misleading headline by the Fake News Media about the five tanker planes that were supposedly struck down at an Airport in Saudi Arabia, and of no further use. In actuality, the Base was hit a few days ago, but the planes were not “struck” or “destroyed.” Four of the five had virtually no damage, and are already back in service. One had slightly more damage, but will be in the air shortly. None were destroyed, or close to that, as the Fake News said in headlines. The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (in particular), and other Lowlife “Papers” and Media actually want us to lose the War. Their terrible reporting is the exact opposite of the actual facts! They are truly sick and demented people that have no idea the damage they cause the United States of America. Fortunately, as proven by our Great and Conclusive Election Win in 2024, the People of our Country understand what is happening far better than the Fake News Media! President DONALD J. TRUMP

After a series of fatal strikes involving civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan, Congress directed the Pentagon to reduce civilian casualties as part of a 2019 law. During the Biden administration, the Defense Department created the Civilian Harm Mitigation and Response initiative.

The civilian mitigation teams – cut by 90% by Hegseth – work with military commanders on target planning, and making sure that targets are actually military sites. The teams help come up with "no strike" lists, including religious and cultural sites and schools
