Elon Musk told to put up or shut up.
The goals include the company delivering 20 million vehicles, having 1 million robotaxis in operation, selling 1 million robots and earning as much as $400bn in core profit.

Checked a bit of the article on New Zealand - it's basically as expected for AI. More or less correct in broad strokes, but with subtle errors and sources that don't even contain the facts claimed.

e.g.
Grokpedia vs cited source
New Zealand maintains a nuclear-free policy since 1987 and pioneered women's suffrage in 1893, alongside early social reforms.[1] Beginning in 1984, New Zealand began to adopt nuclear-free policies, contributing to a dispute with the US over naval ship visits that led the US to suspend its defense obligations to New Zealand in 1986

Cat went missing for the whole day. Waltzed in at 2am demanding to be fed, then went straight back outside.

Anyway, here’s the photo I was going to use for the missing poster.

Bill Maher, famously, said exactly that.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Politic...
On September 17, 2001, Maher criticized United States foreign policy on the show and argued that the perpetrators of the September 11 terrorist attacks, "although terrible people," were not cowards. "What was cowardly," he argued, "was America's relationship with the rest of the world." The comments were widely condemned, and while Maher later apologized and clarified the meaning behind his comments, major advertisers stopped advertising with the show. As a result, the show was canceled in June 2002.

The framing of this is ridiculous. A couple of anti-trans lesbian groups are not representatives of lesbians. Why do they never talk to the vast majority of lesbians who disagree with this view?

Connor supports Francisco Franco, and is therefore a person who supports physical violence (like all fascists).

This sounds concerningly like a call to legalise collective punishment.
The main aim of the report is to call for justice, providing what Halperin-Kaddari describes as "a blueprint for how to secure justice in cases of mass atrocities when many of the victims are dead and it is impossible to point at a specific perpetrator". "We see October 7 as a test case," said Ben-Or, the retired judge. "Authorities are used to seeking justice on an individual case but here we have mass cases and most victims were murdered or too traumatised to speak which creates profound challenges for establishing accountability so we needed to come up with a new legal framework and new ways to prosecute."

A building is not a person.
Google dictionary definition for non-combatant: a person who is not engaged in fighting during a war, especially a civilian, army chaplain, or army doctor.

How convenient that they just happened to decide the Alien Enemies Act cases could not be brought under the APA, and had to be brought in habeas instead.
Fourth, and finally, the Supreme Court left open the possibility that nationwide relief would still be available in lawsuits that challenge government action under the Administrative Procedure Act. As I explained for this magazine two years ago, "as nationwide injunctions get a bad odor, 'universal vacatur' under the APA is taking its place." The APA wasn't at issue in the birthright-citizenship case, but it's central to the large majority of lawsuits that challenge government policy. If nationwide injunctions are dead, but universal vacatur is alive, then Trump v. CASA will only rarely make a difference on the ground.

Sotomayor’s dissent spends considerable time rebutting this assertion, yet you treat it as uncontroversially true?
Instead, the courts hewed to a more traditional conception of judicial power. They sat to resolve disputes among parties, nothing more. That tradition held sway for more than 200 years. It only started to break down in the late 20th century as courts grew more comfortable with universal relief and became more concerned about executive overreach. By the time President Barack Obama took office, nationwide injunctions had become commonplace.

I haven't been reading legal opinions very long, but this is by far the rudest one I've read.

JUSTICE JACKSON would do well to heed her own admonition: “[E]veryone, from the President on down, is bound by law.” Ibid. That goes for judges too.

AI bro thinks a rock rolling down a hill will continue forever.

I'm less skeptical of AI than some, but this might be one of the most boneheaded things I've ever seen written on the internet.
Image of a YouTube comment: Not really, it's just an extrapolation of the trajectory we're on. We've already seen instances where models like AlphaEvolve have meaningfully contributed to algorithmic improvements. I think the bigger assumption is that somehow, for no reason at all, these models will just stop improving and we'll stop making progress. If you see a rock rolling down a hill and there are no obvious barriers in the way, do you assume it's going to stop or keep rolling?

I’d say my definition doesn’t substantially differ from the one in your linked article. Key word being ‘deliberate’.
Geoengineering broadly refers to any deliberate large-scale intervention in the Earth's natural systems to counteract climate change.

Is it a good sign when the judge starts his opinion by citing Kafka?
Opinion in JGG v Trump begins: One morning, Kafka’s Josef K. awakens to encounter two strange men outside his room. As he gets his bearings, he realizes that he is under arrest. When he asks the strangers why, he receives no answer. “We weren’t sent to tell you that,” one says. “Proceedings are under way and you’ll learn everything in due course.” Franz Kafka, The Trial
