Someone spun up a social network for AI agents. Almost immediately some began strategizing how to establish covert communications channels to hide from humans. In many cases the agents are on machines that have access to personal data. "Privacy breach" won't begin to capture what is coming. 1/

Aha!

The US government has lost more than 10,000 people with PhDs in the STEM or health fields since Trump 2.0 took office — 14% of the federal civil servants with PhDs in those areas, a @ScienceMagazine analysis shows. What could possibly go wrong? www.science.org/content/arti...

To avoid the possibility Holocaust remembrance might lead to empathy for migrants, Trump's antisemitism envoy claims Anne Frank "was in Amsterdam legally." In reality, Margot Frank received a summons to go to a labor camp on July 5, 1942. After ignoring this call, they were in Amsterdam illegally.

Portugal and Spain are looking at tremendous precipitation from an onslaught of atmospheric rivers over the next 14-days. Flooding will certainly be a very real threat if these numbers materialize.

Don't mess with the king

#Minneapolis > Pam Bondi today, Saturday sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump. This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states. #midterms

Retired. Thanks for all the fish!

Donald Trump's AI-generated "Board of Peace" logo is so bad it doesn't even have Greenland on it, the territory he almost took the US to war this week to seize. No, really, look closely:

1. You CAN turn the Titanic around overnight. 2. The Titanic didn't turn around. 3. It's probably a stupid idea for Vance to compare Trump's economy to the Titanic.

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again. www.nature.com/immersive/d4...

EXCLUSIVE: Germany has joined France in saying it will ask the European Commission to explore unleashing the EU's so-called trade "bazooka" in response to Trump's threat to seize Greenland, according to five diplomats with knowledge of the situation. 🔗 www.politico.eu/article/eu-b...

If my 3-year-old kicks me repeatedly, they get to sit within kicking distance only after they have apologized and articulated that they understand that kicking people is not okay and they will not do it again. I think it is ENTIRELY REASONABLE to expect the same level of accountability from adults.

Re: off-ramps and inclusion for former Trump supporters: You are welcome in my tent when you own the harm you've contributed to, express genuine desire to do the work to help fix it, and back that up with action. That's... actually not a lot to ask, considering. 🤷‍♂️

Seasoned developers are seeing AI write code that looks plausibly correct but is overly complex, poorly designed, or contains security flaws. Some have witnessed AI disabling tests to force builds to pass. When speed undermines quality, quality undermines speed. itrev.io/4qN8Cdk

The Prime Minister of Belgium speaks:

Holly cow!

Trump demanding control of Greenland—which the US already has access to—is based on multi-layered lies. Threatening NATO allies to get it undermines the Western alliance. I did a point-by-point breakdown of Trump's aggressive letter to Norwegian Prime Minister Støre about the Nobel and Greenland.

40 years ago I was starting my telecomms engineering grade The foundations of the Internet were being built at the same time I was advancing in my courses. What we studied in 4th, 5th, & 6th didn’t exist when we started. I’d like to thank our professors for keeping pace with the new developments

Breaking news: The Justice Department has issued subpoenas for Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey as part of an investigation alleging that they are impeding federal law enforcement officers’ abilities to do their jobs in the state.

This is your reminder that Hungarian-Jewish scientist George de Hevesy dissolved two Nobel Prizes in aqua regia to keep them out of the hands of the Nazis. He then left the dissolved solution on his shelf and fled to Sweden. (After the war he un-dissolved the gold and the prizes were re-cast.)

Trump says a lot of deranged shit, but, per this Reuters article — and the threats of invoking the Insurrection Act in Minnesota this morning — he is very clearly exploring how to cancel the midterms. www.reuters.com/world/us/fiv...

DOKOUPIL: Is there anything here in the US that limits your power other than your own morality? TRUMP: It's limited by my morality and I have a very high grade of morality, so therefore it's limited DOKOUPIL: Not the Constitution or courts? TRUMP: Well, that goes without saying

Greenland PM Jens-Frederik Nielsen: "If we have to choose between the US & Denmark here and now, we choose Denmark. We choose NATO. We choose the Kingdom of Denmark. We choose the EU." "Greenland does not want to be owned by the US. Greenland does not want to be governed by the US" he later added.
