Four days ago, a scientist was surprised by the news that Anthropic discovered new virus genes for making DNA. He says he’s been studying them for years—and feeding his data to Anthropic’s AI as part of his own research. Coincidence? Here’s my story. nyti.ms/3VSWayc

Did Anthropic’s A.I. Really Make a Scientific Discovery on Its Own? (Gift Article)
An expert at the University of Copenhagen said his team had been sharing its research with the company’s A.I. model, Claude, and that its new finding matched their work.

Trumpy lost in court, once again, a judge told Trumpy to let the news media into the WH. Yet, Trumpy said no. Trumpy is a horrid piece of shit. He thinks he's not above the law, he thinks he IS the law. He's proving over and over he's insane.

Just so pathetic. One after the other, Trump nominated people to the most important positions solely because they’re sycophantic cultists who refuse to even say he is wrong about something that impacts public health even when they know he is. This is a nightmare for America. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Trump’s press ban? “National security.” His arch? “National security.” Why gut wind energy? “National security.” Justify tariffs? “National security.” Wants Greenland? “National security.” Ignore Endangered Species Act? “National security.” The pattern is not subtle. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

For Trump, ‘national security’ remains the answer to every question
“When you look under the hood, they’re fake national security emergencies,” one scholar explained. “This is a power grab.”

The Pentagon has been caught in two separate scandals this week: undercounting casualties and hiding the extent of our destroyed infrastructure in the Middle East. Both are what Maj. Gen. Paul Eaton (Ret.) would describe as "military malpractice." Watch his full analysis now.

Trump knows his 250-foot arch is a political disaster, so just like his monstrous ballroom he's now pitching it as a military installation chock full of drones and snipers. He's lost the American people on this issue and he knows it, so now he's panicking.

Trump's ban on MSNOW, CNN, and Politico is not only part of the autocratic playbook, but the timing is no coincidence. Trump is well in the autocratic backfire process, thus, entire media outlets he sees as threats must be banished. This is a moment of reckoning for America.

According to Danish diplomats, Trump sought US control over the process of natural resource licensing and land use planning across Greenland. The answer was "no." Instead the US got precisely what the US has always had in terms of base rights and SOFA. The deal is a big nothing burger.

Eclampsia is deadly. The ONLY treatment is terminating the pregnancy/delivering the baby. Tierra Walker developed eclampsia before her fetus was viable … so she was left to die (and the fetus died too). Why? Because of the Texas abortion ban. This should be considered murder.

I am tired of people saying we can’t win in front of the Supreme Court. I’m annoyed by those who say my firm is too partisan to be effective. Today we won a huge redistricting fight before SCOTUS and a ballot access case before the Nebraska Supreme Court. The lesson: When we fight we win.
