This is objectively funny. Even Kim Jong Un doesn't want to be associated with Trump so he sends his sister out to call him a nothingburger... 🤣

Here's a good study from a colleague on how decades of bad assumptions about force and diplomacy, along with enduring misreads of intentions and aims, produced the conditions of and the incentives for Trump's endless and astrategic War on Iran. internationalpolicy.org/publications...

Beyond Maximalism: Reimagining U.S. Strategy Toward Iran Through Systems Thinking - CIP

Toosi's report argues the February-April 2026 war exposed a deeper failure of systems thinking in U.S. strategy toward Iran and the region.

Most people, including really accomplished people, don't have an accurate mental model of how LLMs operate (and why would they?) You see this in widespread beliefs that AI is just copying from known sources, or that it only produces average answers, or that it can't generate effectively novel ideas

Two very big things here: 1) since sanctioning of Rosneft and Lukoil, the largest exporter of Russian crude is an entity called "Redwood Global". It SO HAPPENS that they share an e-mail server with a group of Azeri traders who EU sanctions officials believe are pals with the chief exec of Rosneft.

Important piece from Bruce Schneier… Agentic AI’s OODA Loop Problem buff.ly/0ntqD1n "The fundamental problem is that AI must compress reality into model-legible forms. In this setting, adversaries can exploit the compression. They don’t have to attack the territory; they can attack the map."

Russia routinely paints its neighbors as threats to justify its own aggression. "Helsinki is pursuing a confrontational course in preparation for war with Russia, apparently preparing a springboard for an attack on us," Medvedev wrote in a column for TASS.

This is a text book example of reflexive control. The Russians are really experienced at it, and Trump's ignorance means he is completely defenceless against it.

Fascinating thread on the roots of Finland's resilience. This particularly resonates in the context of increasingly polarised & unequal societies in Europe & the US: "Strong defence requires a strong society". If people are busy finding reasons to resent each other, will they then defend each other?

When you do social purpose work of any sort, it materially reduces your market value. You can be as good as (or better than) a Deloitte or a McKinsey consultant, but if you have a tinge of "doing good" about you, everyone expects some kind of handwoven mates rates.
