I’m a history professor focusing on 20th-century Europe, with a particular interest in the comparative history of nationalism and of responses to Nazi aggression. My most recent book is Occupied: European and Asian Responses to Axis Conquest, 1937-1945 (Camb. Univ. Press, 2023).

Trump just posted a headline from the New York Post claiming Putin’s loud accusation of a drone “attack” proves Russia is the real obstacle to peace.

Weird.

HEBER CITY, Utah - An artificial intelligence that writes police reports had some explaining to do earlier this month after it claimed a Heber City officer had shape-shifted into a frog.
However, the truth behind that so-called magical transformation is simple.

"The body cam software and the Al report writing software picked up on the movie that was playing in the background, which happened to be 'The Princess and the Frog,”
Sgt. Keel told FOX 13 News. "That's when we learned the importance of correcting these AI-generated reports.'

Counterfactual attacks are particularly dangerous because they could strike anywhere and don’t even have to obey the laws of physics.
