NEW: The New York Times confirms my reporting that the DOJ is withholding several FBI interviews with a woman who accused Trump of sexually assaulting her as a child www.nytimes.com/2026/02/25/u...

Two thoughts: It's like nobody at the Pentagon wanting to punish Anthropic has even seen Terminator ;-) ...more seriously: Use of AI in mil surroundings is frequently about "decision making speed" - I DO NOT want nuke use decisions to be about speed. I want slow human thought.

Tässä on viimeisin osoitus vanhentuneesta ja vaarallisesta ajattelutavasta: että Pv kantahenkilökuntaa on suojeltava, mutta ei reserviläisistä niin väli, koska: "Reserviläisiä on onneksi niin paljon, että meitä riittää täyttämään reserviläisille suunnatut tehtävät" 1/🧵 yle.fi/a/74-20211777

Sopu ns. velkajarrusta tarkoittaa, että seuraava hallitus joutuu leikkaamaan menoja tai lisäämään tuloja 8–11 miljardia euroa (!!!) kautensa aikana. Sovussa ovat mukana kaikki puolueet paitsi Vasemmistoliitto, joka jätti eriävän mielipiteen raporttiin: yle.fi/a/74-20212104

Instead of watching Trump lie and ramble for an hour tonight, you should watch, listen, or read the latest Theory of Change episode in which @jeetheer.bsky.social and I discuss how tech oligarchs like Peter Thiel and Elon Musk are literally basing their politics on sci-fi novels.

As a rare climate scientist working in Silicon Valley, I've been drinking from the AI firehose a lot more than my peers. I thought it would be helpful to lay out my experiences of both the promise and pitfalls of using AI to accelerate scientific research:

Four years ago I woke up to explosions. That morning My old life ended. I wasn’t brave. I was terrified. Some days surviving felt heavier than dying. Four years of sirens. Four years of “Are you alive?” Four years of pretending to be strong.

This is a BRILLIANT thread that encapsulates much of what I feel. It is especially apparent in ads suggesting that w AI I no longer need to do the tedious job of drafting and writing, letting me focus on ‘the creative part’ - it’s so clear there’s little understanding of what writing is.

Venäjä laajensi sotaansa Ukrainaa vastaan neljä vuotta sitten. Ukrainalaiset ovat osoittaneet periksenatmattomuuttaan maailmalle, ja kv tuen avulla Ukraina on ylläpitänyt puolustustaisteluaan. Venäjä voisi lopettaa sodan milloin tahansa, mutta Venäläiset eivät halua - se kertoo heistä kaiken.

This is pretty damming 👇🏼 but what struck me more: HOW is this car allowed on the road despite not having been crash tested by officials???

Tämän tyyppinen "washington vuoto" toteutetaan tarkoituksella. Se ei tietenkään tarkoita etteikö Trump isku(ja) käskisi, koska Kenr. Caine ei sinänsä ole suorassa komentoketjussa, mutta tämän jälkeen jotain mikä pitää huomioida valkoisessa talossa - ja Kongressissa.

Historiatieto maanantaihin: Suomen sota päättyi Haminan rauhaan 17.9.1809. Suomi kuului Venäjään seuraavat 39526 päivää. Suomi julistautui itsenäiseksi 6.12.1917. Siitä on nyt 39526 päivää. Suomi on vastedes ollut kauemmin itsenäinen maa kuin Venäjän osa. Hyvää alkanutta viikkoa!

“For years, companies have employed bots or orchestrated fake ‘AstroTurf’ campaigns to create the appearance of grassroots opinion on an issue, but the introduction of AI technology could make it even harder for elected officials to engage in earnest with the public.”

But the bullying was supposed to work! They were supposed to give in to threats without a fight. No fair! This happens over and over. Ukraine, the Palestinians, Canada, Denmark, NATO, more. The confusion appears genuine. And incurable.

Tällä USAn korkeimman oikeuden päätöksellä voi olla monta eri vaikutusta, mm: yksi kiristys-työkalu vähemmän (yleisesti, muita taloudellisia työkaluja löytyy), yritysten epävarmuus lisääntyy… ja ehkä kongressi päättäisikin tehdä jotain oman valtansa puolesta.

"If we are right..." - Yes Sam, except that you are consistently WRONG. Statements such as 'more intellectual capacity in data centers than outside' sound sophomoric - empty conjecture, soon reported as 'fact' by too many...including those in gov'ts and running businesses. It's just not true...

On helpompi ylläpitää terveitä elämäntapoja, kun elämä on muutenkin kunnossa. Jos on lapsesta asti kokenut taloudellista ahdinkoa, energiaa ei useinkaan riitä lenkkeilyyn. Se menee selviytymiseen.

Danny Citrinowicz was formerly head of the Israeli defense intelligence Iran branch. As he puts it: “‘Mowing the lawn’ may work against non-state actors. It is not a sustainable strategy against a large, sovereign state.” He argues for “strategic patience”—which is not Trump’s strong suit.

The UN — Ordered on Temu

The headline writer really distilled the essence here…

This immunity applies to Tech leaders too. If a normal company had introduced a tool or service with such negative repercussions as Meta or xAI have, authorities would have stopped it… now TechMuppets (tm) like Zuc get to continue weakening societies, destroying lives for personal profit.

New numbers from the Kiel institute have arrived,they keep track on statistics on the War in Ukraine.USA has decreased its aid to Kiev by 99% while Europe has increased its aid by 67% since Trump took office During Biden's Presidency USA and Europe paid an equal share.

Odotan 👇🏼 kirjan lukemista, entistä enemmän nyt, kun tiedän että olen eri mieltä ainakin kahdesta tässä jutussa esille nostetusta asiasta: Että SUPOn Venäjä arviot ennen 2022 olisi ollut liian kriittisiä - 😂 Ja miksi SUPO ei täyttänyt median ja kansalaisten info tarvetta? yle.fi/a/74-20205073

US military "in Europe is often framed as a favor to allies. In reality, it’s one of the most advantageous force postures the US maintains anywhere in the world—a relatively small footprint that delivers outsized strategic returns." Yes, @markhertling.bsky.social. National interest, not charity.

Why would anyone want this? What positive purpose could it possibly serve?

Miksi valtio kaataa satoja miljoonia kaivoshankkeisiin, joissa kärsijöinä ovat luonto ja ihmiset? Tuorein rahoituspäätös saatiin viime viikolla. Valtio rahoittaa Savukoskella sijaitsevaa Soklin fosfaattikaivoshanketta 65 miljoonalla eurolla. 1/7 Kuva: NBLX/AdobeStock

I’ll add this: when Finland 🇫🇮 announced it was choosing F-35, one part was largely underreported: Other than US (and 🇮🇱), Finland has the most robust security of supply and operations capability of any fleet user. This reflects 🇫🇮 assumptions at the time (2021), that it would fight alone.

So good. @kajakallas.bsky.social is all of us.

Imagine if those who just got hoodwinked out of $30bn by Anthropic instead decided to buy up this 👇🏼 research and recruit researchers to finalize the work and bring these and other vaccines to market? Imagine if Musk or Bezos spent their billions on something useful for humanity? Just imagine.

Russia has suffered around 1.3 million casualties since launching its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, including around 400,000 in 2025 alone, a senior NATO official told journalists at NATO Headquarters. ukdefencejournal.org.uk/russia-has-s...

Batteries in containers, so you can either charge them or swap them in harbour for charged ones. Clever! And makes a lot of sense for a container ship.

Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the “erasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.

I do really wish more reporters would just ask "Speaker Johnson, do you think it’s appropriate for the Speaker of the House—third in line of succession to the presidency—to be so consistently unfamiliar with current events?"

This is an excellent report. Good clear writing and analysis, exceptional visualizations.

Interesting that US made this claim re Chinese nuclear weapons testing in public. Suggests they've tried to have discussions behind closed doors, which haven't led anywhere. The US faces a choice, kind of, will it build out to match combined Russia & China threat? www.npr.org/2026/02/11/n...

Quite the chart

Perhaps just me, but it's 'interesting' that while Trump muses about not really needing to hold elections in the US in 2026 (because he's done such a "wonderful" job), and at the same time his henchmen are demanding the same thing as Russian aggressors: holding elections AGAINST Ukrainian law. 🙃

The level of idiocy is staggering 👇🏼. Humans also need iron to survive, yet, ingesting iron pellets by the kilogram is not particularly advisable.
