Good play by Putin: helping Trump in the midterms (who'll be owing a favour), easing sanctions and providing revenue to Russia, creating obstacles for Ukraine to bomb refineries... Trump as an ass and an asset.

just want to highlight the talking points here again, they're amazing again, this is Ronaldo's instagram essay, his recitation of the talking points he gave to his coach, shared with the intention of making Ronaldo look like the good guy it's incredible

The notes I had approved were as follows:

‘I think it is important, because it is the truth, to clarify a few things before talking about Denmark:

I myself, and no one else, proposed a plan to Cristiano for this season with the national team. It was a long and very good conversation.

I know how much he lives and breathes the national team and the stature he has in the world — and, even more importantly, the weight and positive influence he has had on the national team for 24 consecutive years.

Cristiano accepted the plan I proposed to him.

He never questioned my decisions. He was exemplary, loyal and professional.

The plan I laid out for him did not include the Norway match. However, I felt that he had managed to recover physically from the first match and told him that I might need to use him. Cristiano agreed.

I made a mistake by asking someone of the stature of Pelé or Maradona to warm up and then not putting him into the game. If it happened today, I would not do it.

To bring the matter to an end: I want Cristiano in the national team. In fact, I do not just want him a little; I want him very much. Fortunately, he also believes in me. He believed in me at Al Nassr and he does here as well.

As for not greeting the supporters: we have already spoken about it. Someone who has played more than 230 matches for the national team does not need lessons from me about loving Portugal. It was a moment of frustration that erases nothing. He is the player who signs the most autographs, takes the most selfies and gives the most affection to the supporters. Let us not invent problems where none exist. When we are unhappy, we react. That is all.’

this is by far the best "I quit my AI job over safety concerns" essay yet because it is the first one that is able to talk about safety concerns in practical terms and that understands "safety" as a topic with extensive literature in analogous fields www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

Two changes are urgently needed. First: AI companies need to rely more on the safety expertise that already exists in other fields. And second, before we create systems significantly more capable than the ones we have today, we need new science to ensure that more capable models (and their successors) will make safe choices when we aren’t looking.

Given today’s risks, frontier labs need to run like nuclear-power plants or busy airports, with layers of redundancy and careful, time-consuming planning, so that the occasional and inevitable human error does not open a door to disaster. Right now, AI companies don’t know how—but other people do. In a nuclear-power plant, the technical systems and rules people follow are set up so that, if equipment breaks or someone pushes the wrong button, we still won’t risk a meltdown. OpenAI and other labs are growing and deploying frontier AI with far less redundancy and rigor than this, even though the harm from an irreversible loss of control would be much greater than the harm from any single meltdown. Even short of a full loss of control, we could see autonomous swarms of AI agents that act without human permission. Imagine “rogue” agents that work like teams of hackers (for example, holding hospital computer systems for ransom) but never need to sleep.

What an odd moment in United States history. A U.S. president is running an overtly political camaign advertisement, right before midterm elections, paid for by the U.S. government. Trump appears to believe he is immune from any kind of legal limit. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/27/u...

A Trump 2024 Campaign Ad Returns, Now Brought to You by the Government (Gift Article)

The ad, which ethics experts said could violate federal law, shows Mr. Trump vowing to “expel the warmongers” from the government and fight the “deep state,” even as he wages a war with Iran.

This match shows you (if you didn't realize it yet) how washed Mourinho is as a coach. When the opponent can't match the quality of his players, he gets by. But if his teams face anyone with a comparable squad, his "we're still in 2009" playing style can't deal with someone playing modern football.

Real Madrid are a terrible team of wonderful players. When their magic works, they win. When that's not enough, they suffer. With enough luck, they might win some trophies, but if they do, they'll win them despite their collective suckiness, not greatness.

Natalie Harp is one of the most powerful people alive. I'm not joking or exaggerating. Controlling what information the US president gets and publicly communicating on behalf of the president give someone significant influence over policy of the world's most powerful country, all the way up to war.

@thepressbox.bsky.social Is "found a new perspective" the new "in the best shape of his career" as a recurrent preaseason NFL story? Always about a great but possibly maniacal coach (McVay a few years ago, LaFleur now) who now swears he's not as maniacal as he used to be.
