“We’re all going to die,” a sentence that makes terrorists and USian politicians undistinguishable.
Ernst’s “we’re all going to die” comment wasn’t a gaffe — which is why she is refusing to apologize.

Microsoft Research: GenAI can inhibit critical engagement with work and can potentially lead to long-term overreliance on the tool and diminished skill for independent problem-solving.
Microsoft: *sells GenAI aggressively into the Education 365 packages*

Microsoft's own research confirms something that was already pretty obvious: relying on a text generating machine to come up with answers erodes critical thinking, and is a method favoured by those who never liked doing critical thinking in the first place

The release of DeepSeek should be taken as precedent to demand AI systems to be always open source not only bc that thwarts economic speculation but also bc it prevents malicious uses and facilitates safety. AI under private control is bound to become terribly destructive.

Paradoxically, Trump’s authoritarian style has been met with a never-seen-before overt opposition from a traditionally subservient country. It’s like this US administration is letting the smell of blood out in the water and bigger sharks are just waiting for the right time.

The bottom half of America? It holds just 6%.
