Imagine if this was the common approach in our mainstream media If instead of buying into moral panics whipped up by wealthy elites to stoke division and hatred to protect their selfish interests, we actually gave space to communities to speak in their diversity www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

What will happen if they manage to solve discrete log in polynomial time? It would be doomsday for digital security everywhere. We'd probably find out when major institutions start pushing emergency updates to post quantum encryption. In the meantime, it would be catastrophic.

Eu sempre fico intrigado com essas análises sobre “de quem é a culpa?”. Curiosamente, elas quase sempre poupam quem ganhou uma bela grana para coordenar campanhas, ocupou cargos estratégicos de comunicação e, no fim das contas, entregou um trabalho de merda.

This is how we should see these magnificant animals, not hauled up on a boat or in fillets on a slab. We should no more catch or kill this rare and stunning megafauna than we should trap or kill tigers or whales. Here are some more of Rupert’s photos from yesterday, with his kind permission.

A pergunta é: no Brasil, quem tem exposição à Bolsa? Quem participaria nessa festa? Eu acho que a esquerda devia entender melhor o que é o mercado e o que ele diz que se deve ouvir, mas a bolsa no Brasil tem pouco efeito de trickle-down, imagino.

Muito certeiro. Sempre tive um pé atrás com Cambridge Analytics e afins. As pessoas são influenciáveis, mas os afetos e predisposições não nascem necessariamente daí, talvez se organizem. O que arranja os discursos de forma mais profunda? O que permite que algumas pessoas ocupem posições nodais?.

My latest cartoon for @newscientist.com

A figure stands in a barren landscape; reaches for the lever on a large, eccentric contraption covered in wires, pipes, dials and buttons; looks over towards two figures inside a bunker and says:

"'Trust me, it's safe' would sound a lot more reassuring if you weren't saying it from inside a concrete bunker."

Reuters got some of the IPO docs. Anthropic is a total dog of a company. Spent $12.6bn to make $4.6bn in revenue in 2025, $7.33bn of which was compute costs. Operating loss of $8bn. Losses getting worse year over year. Amazing stuff www.reuters.com/business/fin...

Summary
Companies
• Anthropic IPO could value the company at more than $2
trillion
• Anthropic lost $42 billion in 2025
• Al lab spent $7.33 billion on compute and infrastructure last year
• Operating loss widened to $8.06 billion in 2025 from $2.98 billion in 2024
• Execs, industry analysts have expressed concerns over harms of Al tech
Sept 28 (Reuters) - Anthropic is making a massive bet that Al will transform the global economy more profoundly than industrialization, electricity and the internet, according to its IPO prospectus seen by Reuters.
But the cost to get there will be staggering. Anthropic reported a net loss of $42 billion in 2025, and plans to spend $518 billion on cloud, computing and infrastructure obligations in coming year, according to the
prospectus.

great piece would add that one big dange is The Powers That Be putting a system that *isn't* capable of running things in charge of it, and trusting what it does because it is The Machine God the "the supercompetent AI will kill us all!" doomsaying makes that more likely, because Machine God

Most crucially, the real problem with this narrative is that there are real reasons to be afraid. Not in a “Skynet superintelligent AI turning on humanity in a sci-fi judgment day scenario,” but in the incredibly banal “as soon as the powers that be find AI models sufficiently capable to be put in charge of defense, weapons development and guidance (including bioweapons), and information, they will do it.” Smiling serenely and saying (correctly) AI is not super intelligent or sentient will not stop it from being used as though it is.Therein lies the real existential threat: not Skynet, but Shitty Skynet.
