I keep trying to think of any historical example where a given technology's PROMOTERS AND TRUE BELIEVERS were like 'we are absolutely going to ruin your fucking life so be prepared like it's the end of the world'
Andrew Curran: Axios is reporting that the top labs are wargaming scenarios for the aftermath of a catastrophic event in the next 6 - 12 months, that some executives now see as being inevitable.

Axios: Top executives at Anthropic, OpenAl and other Al companies are privately gaming out scenarios for a public and political revolt after a catastrophic AI event.
Why it matters: These officials anticipate a large-scale event, most likely a cyberattack, that shuts down access to financial services, internet connectivity, or even power and water.

Edouard Harris: This is our view as well. Relatedly, average people will want to increase their level of personal resilience and preparedness as their resources allow. We will be publishing about this soon.

Nick Farina: Best ways to be prepared? Generators, water, books and DVDs?

Edouard Harris: Power, water, food, sanitation for most part. Parts of this depend on your geo latitude - solar vs propane for eg.

But also: set aside a computer that is not (and ideally has never been) connected to the internet. Buy faraday pouches and tape. Print out essential docs on paper.

Trump announces that the U.S. will buy Russian oil. This is just a few weeks after Trump signed the Lindsey Graham Russia Sanctions bill, which authorized him to place 100% tariffs on countries that are the biggest importers of Russian oil/gas. Are we going to tariff ourselves now?

Flávio Bolsonaro’s advance in Brazil’s election is grim news for the climate.

Trump has ICE hunting down Russian dissidents so he can dispatch them back to Russia as little gifts for Putin. A Russian dissident activist was just issued a sentence of six years in a penal colony on absurd charges of “justifying terrorism.” That happened because we deported him back to Russia.

If Nidal Hasan is executed by firing squad, as the Pentagon spokesman says Hegseth and Trump have decided, it will be the first death sentence carried out by the U.S. military since 1961, and the first by firing squad since 1945. www.militarytimes.com/news/your-mi...
Screenshot of a tweet from @SeanParnellASW dated 5 Oct 2026, reading as follows:

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has recommended — and President Donald J. Trump has approved — death by U.S. Army firing squad for convicted terrorist Nidal Malik Hasan, the jihadist who opened fire on unarmed American soldiers at Fort Hood in 2009. He killed 13 people and wounded 32 others while shouting “Allahu Akbar” during the attack. 

The Secretary of the Army will set the time and place of the execution. Judgement day for Hasan has finally come.
