When I ran a research group, I'd tell my students that when you appear to have uncovered something anomalous, the first thing you say to yourself is "I fucked up". And the second thing you say is "I'm so stupid I can't even see where I fucked up".

A lot of "stop saying bad stuff about the LLMs" in the news lately but it does raise a funny (ha-ha funny) question about whether this is the best the technology will ever be given that it's harvested the automatisms of human practice from documented history and now the feedback effects kick in.

The report warns of multiple likely ecosystem >collapses< that will have dire implications for our national security, and that requires serious strategic adaptation at minimum. The report also sets out how these collapses if they are allowed to occur will significantly increase migration.

Reminder: a significant number of mainstream UK politicians think what's happening in America is a) good and b) should be done to British people.
Palantir is a cancer in the NHS. And now that Labour, Tories, and Reform all plan an ICE-like “national police force”, you can bet Palantir will already be pitching the parties’ advisors for that action.
Why Minneapolis? How are they choosing their targets?
404 Media also recently learned Palantir is working on a tool for ICE that populates a map with potential deportation targets based on addresses, and ICE is using it to find locations where lots of people it might detain could be based.

It is almost as though the BBC is not an independent public service broadcaster, but a state broadcaster like any other, which operates in service of the political imperatives of the British government, while using its public service broadcaster designation to obfuscate this fact to its viewers.
The BBC coverage is absolutely terrible.
It leads on "sharply contested narratives"
It has a dramatic skew to the US government
It has posted the video but has failed to report on what it shows: it shows the US govt account is untrue
